Appearance

Clothing and Armor

Her dress is clean and proper, simple but tasteful, and almost always in one of the many shades of red. Scarlet, vermilion, crimson, light red, dark red, red approaching pink, red with hints of orange. Her dress is not often casual, but rather a formal yet comfortable blend of ceremonial armor and fabric, often in a long silk dress reinforced with lightweight mithril, gold pauldrons and gauntlets and a red cloak.

Her armor is utilitarian, a heavy and battle-worn suit of solid metal, yet not without the presence of Sin'dorei grace in craftsmanship.

Her mount, Scherazade, was issued to her upon climbing the ranks of Blood Knight. A tall, powerful destrier, Anserina dresses him in a meticulously detailed, polished and heavy suit of gold barding against reinforced red leather and fabric.

Accouterments and Insignia

Anserina wears her Insignia proudly upon her person. Her tabard is the scarlet and black emblem of the Blood Knights. At her chest, below her shoulder, the seal of her clan, and twice more on her left and right gauntlets. Though not easily noticeable, she has tattooed onto the back of her neck, a small black design of two falcon's wings, spread outward and curving up.

Arsenal

As a knight trained to specialize in cavalry tactics, Serena prefers the lance and halberd over any other weapon, though she is well-trained with the two handed axe, mace and sword. On formal occaisions, she carries her Blood Tempered Ranseur, a proud symbol of her knighthood.

The Way of the Blood Knight

Personality

A first impression of the young knight would often suggest an individual prone to taciturnity and a quiet, detached focus. Such an impression would not be far from the truth, as Serena never quite accustomed herself to the gregarious, even decadent nature of her people, which naturally leads to a noticeably degree of coldness: an icy demeanor only mitigated by her diligence in proper, respectful manners and politeness. Still, most who know her never see past her veneer of decorum, as she guards her private thoughts perhaps to the degree of paranoia.

Serena doesn't seem to mind hiding her motivations and cloaking her true feelings behind a precise, calm facade. In fact, she intends to present herself as thus, and much of her ambiguity is a deliberate tactic. She does not, however, tolerate accusations of disloyalty, and will go to great lengths to prove her sincerity when questioned.

The Five-Fold Tenets

• Discipline

• Courtesy

• Justice

• Honesty

• Courage

Quirks and Minor Details

• Is fussy about her wine.

• Is fussy about looks, hygiene and decorum.

• Does not show her face in combat, if she can help it. Instead, she prefers elaborate and ornate masks and full-face helms.

• Is a radical, rejecting notions of old Sin'dorei traditions and power structures--Kael'thas included.

• Sleeps in.

• Adores her destrier, Scherazade.

• Insists on jasmine oils for her baths.

• Taciturn and distant, despite her rather private sense of vanity.

• Studious, and a voracious reader.

• Moody, prone to bouts of intense contemplation and thought, only to wash those aside in careless decadence.

• Focused and single-minded, when she needs to be. Despite the above.
