Alexia Contigeria

Born to a lesser patrician family of the Próteros elves, Alexia Contigeria was trained from her youth to carry on a long family tradition of military service. To this end, she was trained in short sword, lance, and bow, and found herself most comfortable wielding spears. However, her training was cut short for political reasons, and she was deemed unfit for service after a minor training incident. She left the Empire shortly after.

In her quest to uphold her family's pride and build her reputation, Alexia has taken to mercenary work, hiring herself out as a free lance bodyguard to the lesser races as needed. Sadly, a combination of inexperience and poor choices have left her in low demand, and her prices and reputation are rather poor as a result. As she feels unable to return to her home and family until she is worthy of their name, she has continued to wander, taking jobs of increasing danger for increasingly low pay. Most who know of her are astonished that she hasn't died or been taken as a breeding slave yet.
