"Greetings. I am called Kris. I am a knight in service to His Majesty, King Marth. My loyalty is to my liege, but should you have need of me, I will gladly lend you my sword."
Ah, I never draw this one. This is my New Mystery avatar, Dame Kristabel (Kris for short). I decided to try and give her a slightly fancier outfit in the style of Heroes. She's actually a swordmaster, despite the armor and pants. Why would she wear them when that class doesn't in fe12? Because, while swordmaster may be her class, her profession is member of the royal guard, and she actually needs some protection if she's gonna be going up against assassins (though less than a proper knight, as her speed and agility are her gteatest assets). As for the pants, Kris would have a stroke if she ever wore anything that showed a bare leg. She's terrified of her sexuality, which stems from growing up in an ultra conservative home with her verbaly abusive zealot of a grandfather. She was raised as a boy until she got her first period, and even then, didn't know what that was until she was about sixteen. It might seem odd that a girl who barely realizes she's a girl would wear pink, but the notion of pink being "girly" is actually very recent. It was originally considered a masculine color, with blue being attributed to feminity.
Being a knight is literally the only thing Kris has to live for. She had longer hair when she first joined as a new recruit, but when Jagen made a passing remark about long hair being a hazard on the battlefield, she cut it off (like, right in front of everyone the second he said it, which royally unnerved him). She's infatuated with Frey (though it took a long time and a lot of explanations from friends for her to understand what she was feeling), but he shot her down completely, reminding her that as a knight, the only man she needs to be thinking about is Marth (Frey has some... issues... in my head canon). The thought of losing his respect terrified her, so she redoubled her efforts to be the most exemplary of knights, going so far as to work herself to collapse. Marth thinks she has feelings for him (which makes him happy, because he has feelings for her), but really, she just stares at him because he has the same hair color as Frey. Usually while lamenting how not handsome Marth is and wishing he would grow a beard.
She weilds a forged lady sword called Bradamante (in Heroes, it would have a built in Swift Sparrow, but not be inheritable). She can support Marth, Frey, Cain, Katarina, Cecil, Luke, Roderick, Ryan, Samson and Sheema. She is supported by the 9th platoon members. I need to draw more of her. She's fun in her simplicity.
