Kylara
Appearance
Taking pride in her physical appearance, Kylara is the epitome of health. Her frame is long and lithe, but still strong despite the natural frailty of Avariel bones. Her muscles are toned but defined, especially in her upper arms and legs.
Kylara's hair and wings are naturally snow-white, but tips and strands have been permanently dyed a deep shade of crimson.

Skills and Abilities
Most of Kylara's primary skills fall into the realm of "being able to hurt people." She is adept at most forms of weaponry, though she prefers reach weapons such as axes, polearms and halberds compared to swords. Archery is also one of her practiced disciplines.
Kylara's magic, however, is far less natural. When she was only a fledgling, around age 60 or so, Kylara made contact with a powerful extradimensional Dark One named Abbon. In exchange for her servitude and, upon her death, her mortal soul Kylara has been gifted access to powerful dark magic.
Kylara uses her abilities and her magic to silence those who would seek to abate the return of the Dark Ones, giving rise to local tales regarding the Angel of Death - and lending credence to her title: Kylara, the Purifier.

Personality
Confidence, ego -- A strong portion of Kylara's personality and choice making comes from her immense confidence in herself and her abilities. Being able to rely on yourself is paramount, often times others will simply get in the way. Kylara's ego can be a double edged sword, however. Sometimes she is confident to the point of foolhardiness, willing to put herself into dangerous situations that could potentially have safer solutions.
Pragmatic, merciless -- Kylara approaches most problems with logic over emotions. It is easier to make a choice when there are straight forward answers, A or B. She is very objective oriented, breaking life down into bullet points. Viewing the big picture can be an issue for her, Kylara tends to assess situations in the moment rather than planning for the future. Success in her endeavors is very important to Kylara and more often than not she believes the ends justify the means. Her targets are offered no quarter.
Cunning, vengeful -- Perhaps Kylara's most dangerous trait, both to herself and to others, is that she's incredibly adept at manipulating people. Often times she can simply do it with her looks but when a different approach is required Kylara is still well within her element. This can become an issue for her when she becomes petty or feels slighted, as Kylara finds it very difficult to forgive others for their transgressions. She is willing to do things most would find cruel or unnecessary when exacting revenge, caring little to who is all affected as long as her need is satiated.
