Abilities
Despite the fact that Khione is nothing but a simple, puny, weak human she has the blood of giants coursing through her veins. Due to natural selection, their size decreased so that it would be easier to hunt and lie in wait. However, their strength remained the same, heightened senses as well. The gradual evolution of this specific section of the human
species was formed into what they refer to themselves as the 'Alpha Human.'
Khione has also been training to be the ultimate warrior from about one year and six months old. She was first taught to draw, aim, and shoot a bow and arrow, quickly moving up to using a hunting knife. Khione then became proficient with her spear as well as close quarters combat. She is aggressive and doesn't hold any punches. Fighting fairly is not something that Khione understands, and once focused in on a target, she never ever lets it escape.
From an early age, a lot was expected of little Khione. Raised primarily by her father she was ripped from the comfort of her mother. In fact, it was around two years of age that she was taken on her first hunting trip. Her father was harsh and cruel but taught her the basic skills necessary for survival in a world that was more brutal than he. She didn't see it then, but his attitude towards her was out of love, knowing that his little girl wouldn't be accepted if she was like every other woman of the tribe.
At 10 years old after countless grueling and painful hours of bearing the elements, she was entered into the contest of the leaders. Up against the odds, and about 20 young boys, no one expected the little girl known as Khione to win. They were all incredibly surprised when the first one who returned, hauling a wolf upon her back, was none other than Khione. It was then that she began to be respected and treated with the honor that her father told her she deserved. However, it wouldn't be until years later that she earned the total respect and trust of her clan until then Khione would just have to claw and bite her way to the top.
Around 12 years old, still undergoing training to become the leader of the clan, Khione was exposed to a "civilized" person. It was a young soldier, around the age of 17. She was enamored by his eloquent way of speaking, and he spoke to her kindly, something that she had never encountered before. Head over heels for the foreigner, he attempted to take her back to his home city of Belgrath. She was in absolute and utter awe regarding the large buildings and the number of people in such a close vicinity.
However, she was returned back home after one of the females from the city made a degrading comment about Khione and her people, and Khione attacked her. She came back, a bit disappointed but now aware of how lucky she was to be living in such a free place. It was the first time Khione visited the big city, but it wouldn't be her last.
Only a year from her induction into being the leader of the Clan of Ginther, the 14-year-old Khione was blossoming into the perfect warrior woman. It was once again that she caught the eye of another "civilized" man, this one only a year older than her. He too attempted to introduce Khione to his family but once again Khione wasn't all that happy being looked down upon by a few weaklings.
She returned back to her clan, never visiting the traumatizing city ever again. She continued focusing on her training, and it was a year later that she was being made the official leader of the Clan of Ginther. The previous leader was proud of the newest one, and he stuck around as an advisor, counseling the adolescent girl through all trials and tribulations. Everything was peaceful for a short time.
However, it didn't really last that long. Entering her third year of leadership she encountered her first and last revolt. The group of young men were not too fond of being led by someone who had once been a little girl. They began to attack Khione's supporters and were scheming to eliminate Khione. She was puzzled, how was she, an 18 year old, supposed to quell this uprising?
She went about her business, not worrying about what was going to happen to her. In the middle of the night, Khione was attacked. Six young, strong, able-bodied men attacked Khione in her sleep. The rest of the clan awoke the next morning to six severed heads laying in snow covered in blood at the opening of her tent. Khione emerged, yawning casually as if nothing happened.
That was the last uprising that ever occurred. Throughout the next decade, Khione accomplished many different goals and accomplishments. She found a new home for her clan, fought off a small army, eliminated predators, and in her spare time, began to raise the next generation of warriors. While she is still young, Khione's only goal is to make the best life sh cane for her clan, for her pack, her family.
