Rank: Warlord

---

Body description: Standing at 5'5, Sybel is small but fierce. She is strong and muscular, partly due to genetics but mostly because she trains every day and has been fighting for as long as she can remember. 

Personality: A word of advice when it comes to Sybel: do not mess with her. She is cold, unfriendly, quick to anger and will not give you a chance to explain yourself before she resorts to either physical combat or magic to show you what she's made of. A lot of people don't expect her to be this kind of person, because she has a relatively kind face and she's on the shorter side, but the closer to the ground, the closer to hell.

Magic: Keeper of the Grimoire - proficient chapter

Combat experience: Sybel uses her height to her advantage. She can quickly dodge attacks and she keeps small daggers on her belt which she sometimes uses to stab her opponent in the side when dodging under their arm. Although she is strong, she is probably less strong than a tall man, which means she had to be quick on her feet and think fast to prepare for their attacks. She's quite good at predicting movement and is known to be difficult to beat in a fight.

History:
Sybel is young, very young, to be a Warlord. But Sybel has never been an ordinary woman. She was Chen and Antoinette's first daughter and had a lot to prove. Her father was a bachelor knight and her mother a squire, so she was raised with the expectation to follow in their footsteps. Her parents were loyal followers of Hashyum Ricman. They trained their children in their free time, and sometimes brought them to their training.

When she was thirteen, the same year that Uzmat Ricman challenged his father and won, Sybel's father discovered that his wife was having an affair with the knight she served. In a fit of blind rage, he killed Antoinette and vanished from Rodale. Sybel became withdrawn and stopped trusting easily. If her mother could betray their trust like that, then why would she ever trust a stranger? She was too young to join the military, and still a Child by rank. With her parents gone and her brothers active in the military, she spent a lot of time roaming the streets of Roville. 

It was then that she met June, the daughter of a squire father and citizen mother. Her father's parents had died young, and he had inherited his father's Grimoire. Sybel was captivated by the Grimoire, which she was never allowed to see or touch, but she knew he had one. A few months into their 'friendship', which she maintained out of self-interest, she had a sleepover at June's house. When everyone was sound asleep, she snuck into her father's office and stole the Grimoire. Then she set fire to the house, making sure to stay inside long enough so she looked as if she had been a victim of the fire and well before running out. 

Everyone thought it had been an accident. Nobody suspected Sybel. June and her parents had died in the fire. They couldn't tensity against her. It was only when she was 19, and she was a bachelor knight, that she started openly using her Grimoire. Nobody really asked where she got it, but if they did, she told them she had found it her parents' house's attic.

She climbed the ranks quickly and efficiently. She was nimble and quick and managed to outmatch all her opponents. This caught Uzmat's attention, who kept a close eye on her. When she was a knight, he offered her a trial run of Warlord, skipping the Banneret position. When she proved herself worthy, she officially got the position, meaning she was now the Warlord and Right Hand of the king.
