Description: Name: Lady Saira Abellea

Age: 22

Gender: Female

Rank: Knight of Ter'hien

Appearance: Saira is a youthful woman, with a sparkle in her leaf green eyes that speaks of dreams of adventure and excitement. She is not a beautiful woman, but she is not unhandsome, and the glimmer of energy about her lends to her appearance as much as her lustrous red-brown hair. Her mouth is almost permanently set in a smile, no matter the situation, and she can always find a positive outlook on things even if it requires a cheesy joke. Her build is athletic, and the muscles needed to wield her bow and swords are evident.

Weapon(s): Saira fights mainly with her shortbow, a gift to her from her mother upon her knighting that is decorated with incriptions and gilding, but when the fight closes to her she is adept with her twin shortswords, both of simple good quality with no unnecessary decoration.

Bio: When she was only a young child, Saira watched her father ride away to battle, and  furiously wished to accompany him though both he and her mother forbade it. In later years at the age of 14, when it became known to her that there was a place for female knights she curtly informed her parents that she intended to become one, and set out on her white mare the next morning to become a squire. After many years of training she finally received her knighthood only a year ago, making her less experienced than most of the other knights she fights with, but no less skilled. In combat she relies on speed and agility rather than strength, the men having the upper hand in the latter but most certainly not in the former, and that is if she is even required to close with her foe at all. Saira is the daughter of a Baron of Cairhien, and is one of Aila's retainers.
