PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES
Personality
Honorable, light-hearted, loyal, curious, empathetic, passionate, humble, gracious, caring, open-minded, adventurous
Strengths
Courageous, devoted to duty, even-tempered, self-disciplined, resilient, highly educated, surprising physical strength considering her stature.
Flaws
Idealistic to a fault. Young leader, bound to make mistakes. Tends to overextend herself. Imposes impossible standards on herself. Her strict adherence to the discipline of Restraint can sometimes make her appear overly analytical or emotionally guarded. Trusts too easily, and her genuine love for humanity creates an open heartedness that invites exploitation by rivals. Absolutely terrible cook, to the point that anything made by her should be considered dangerous by all standards. It is generally ill-advised to drink tea that she prepares.
Beliefs/Values
Guided by the Eight-Pointed Star and the Faith of the Dawn, Kimbrielle believes that true peace must be nurtured through the discipline of Stewardship, which is the belief that rulers hold the realm in trust as caretakers rather than possessors. She views fire not as a destructive punishment, but as a purifying tool of refinement. Though her heart carries burdens of loss and duty, she continues to walk the path of light she was born to.
BACKGROUND
Born during the Festival of Renewal beneath a crimson sky, Kimbrielle was raised in the golden towers and marble halls of Vaeloria Spire, the capital of Solaris Vaeloria. She received a rigorous royal education and excelled in multiple subjects including diplomacy, warfare strategy, ley geography, non-magic healing, and architecture. She was trained in swordsmanship from girlhood, as are all women of the Dawnfire bloodline.
Her kingdom was erected following the Great Surge, and remained isolated from the rest of the world behind the impassable fog of the Haunted Lands for ~2,000 years. Recently, the fog began to dissipate and reveal ancient trade highways, leading Kimbrielle’s grandmother, Queen Auralindra (recently deceased), to recognize the signs of the ancient prophecy: "When the flame wanes, a child of dawn shall reignite it, carrying fire into lands unknown, where the phoenix will rise anew.".
As the foretold Child of Dawn, Kimbrielle was dispatched West to formally reintegrate her people and collect new knowledge that was previously inaccessible to her kingdom. Upon arrival, Kimbrielle learned of the threats incurred by the Cult of Zab and corrupted Holy Inquisition. Therefore, her secondary mission became to establish a sanctuary for hunted refugees, and to unite the people of Gallia for the purpose of increasing strength and improving coordinated efforts against these threats.
