La Marquise

Player Description

In a normal city, the town guard keep the streets safe for ordinary folk. Isarn hasn't been that city for longer than most people can remember. About three years ago, someone clearly decided to do something about it: people have reported being rescued from muggings, harassment, or worse, by a woman with night-black hair and silver braids, some sort of invisibility cloak pinned with a red gem, and a haze of air wrapped around her fists, as if she controls the night itself. Beneath the cloak, some have sworn they glimpsed the insignia and armour of the city guard - that, together with her imperious way of speaking at the start of a fight, has led people to think she may be an officer with links to the old aristocracy, although there are no such personnel that match the descriptions offered. It is not known who dubbed her as "La Marquise" but the name has stuck.

Most people survive their encounters with La Marquise, albeit bloodied and bruised; but some more violent criminals have met their ends at the edge of the knives she carries for those situations when people prove... disinclined to cease and desist from their misdemeanours.
