Inspiration hit me after sitting in on my first D&D game the Sunday before last. I wanted to make a character, but I didn't want just any ole human or dwarf or halfling. I chose Dragonborn, because.. well it should be obvious. >_> This is how I see her in my mind, charging into battle with her chain mail skirt flapping in the wind (can you imagine how much that would hurt slapping against your thigh?). I also imagine her being quite skilled in her job, that of a Paladin.

I also decided her personality. Quite shy around humans and other party members, she tends to mumble and be extremely soft spoken, though she is very smart and worldly. In battle, she's a whole other person. She gets protective, fiercely so, to the point she would almost charge in without thinking. She also raises her voice a lot in battle. I guess it excites her. As for her name.. She's called Anaklusmos, Ana for short, though it means Riptide in Greek.

I like this pose as well. Not exactly what Ana would be using, but it makes for a good pose. Mid dash and with her short sword at the ready, Ana would bring the blade upward, aiming for the throat of her victim. Rar.
