    Appearance Information
    • Reselda does not have any mutations.
    • Reselda is a 5’ 6’’ woman with medium skin, an incisive gaze, and a mane of curly brown hair. She has a large scar on her leg from injuries sustained in her bandit days.

    Life Story
    • Childhood: Reselda de Gonzo began life as Reselda Playero in Girobalda. Born to a struggling household, Reselda assisted her siblings in committing petty theft, wielding a slingshot fit for her tiny hands and an even smaller dagger.
    • Adolescence: After butting heads with her parents, Reselda ran away from her home by the sea, joining a traveling circus. She spent several years performing as an acrobat, reveling in the glittery costume-filled world of the circus and picking up new languages during her travels. As is common for gymnasts, she retired at the ripe old age of 20, and returned home to pursue a less physically demanding career. She trained under a doctor for several years, learning mundane alchemy and medicine.
    • Early adulthood: Reselda then united with members of her family in Regalia, aiding them in their criminal operations while working full-time at one of the city’s clinics. After a series of deaths in the family, Reselda went back to the healer in Girobalda, who passed on their knowledge of the arcane, teaching her how to cure afflictions and perform exorcisms.
    • Why she came to Regalia: Reselda returned to Regalia because she thought there was more work she could do to help the underprivileged in the city.
    • Mariona Playero: "I loved you the most. Goodbye."
    • Eloi Playero: "You were an enigma, but I will dearly miss you."
    • Lieven Thorner: "You're a funny guy, you know that?"
    • Ana Cervantez: "A true friend and ally. Makes great Kaffee, too."
    • Divy Rousseau: "My Madeline. Let's grab a drink some time."
    • Reynard Benac: "Always the man to go to."
    • Heinrich Benac: "You adorable feathery thing."
    • Rico Clemente: "My favorite blond. Hope my sister didn't break your heart."
    • Lucian Clemente: "Impish tree rat... How about another dance?"
    • Marco Bottinatrici: "Visca la resistència!"
    • Miro Straniero: "Real smart cookie."
    • Taeron Kassambara: "We may never be friends, but I'm grateful for what you did for Maevia."
    • Erwin Braunschweiger: "I've done some bad things in my life, but I've never killed."

    -Your life story is a smidge short, lengthen it by a bit and it should be good. Maybe some points about their time in the school of Battlemed or time in the circus? Overall it seems like a good start tho!
    Ping me when you're all set and make your changes in green! @Berternie

    @Ded Jok Hi! I think I need another review. I made some substantial edits to Zelda's skills and life story and I also changed some aesthetic and personality-related things after approval. Instead of her going to Battlemed school, I had her train under a local healer who taught her sorcery. I also changed her lineage. All edits are in green. Thank you!

    @Ded Jok Hi again. I think I need a re-review. I moved around some points and added new abilities to adapt to the new Sorcery system. I also added some minor details to my life story to tie everything together. All edits are in green. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

    @Ded Jok Hi! I think I need a re-review. I moved around some points to adjust to the new Proficiency system. I also added new abilities and edited Reselda's backstory to account for changes in schooling and IC developments. Let me know what you think! Thanks again.

    @DedJok Hi! I updated the sheet based on IC developments and OOC changes to abilities.
    • Changed the name of the thread (Zelda isn't really a nickname that's used often enough)
    • Changed proficiency points due to Medical Science/Training update
    • Got rid of Horticulture Art
    • Edited Physical Stat to reflect proficiency points
    • Updated Racial Abilities to reflect recent changes
    • Altered Character Alignment due to IC developments
    • Edited Life Story to match the rest of the application
    Let me know what you think. Thank you!

    @Berternie Points check out, you'd need to add Light Mend 1 from Medical Training though.
