SIDALEE MALOUÉ
Name: Sidalee Maloué
Age: 24
Birth Season: Spring
Rank: Banneret
Occupation: Assassin / Soldier
Kingdom: Rodale / Mont Daegal
Body description: Sidalee stands at 5’7”, her presence striking and unmistakable with gorgeous, curly red hair that falls down her back in a riot of fiery tendrils, catching the sunlight and drawing every eye. Freckles spatter her fair skin, complimented by a delicate nose ring that hints at her rebellious spirit. Though merely in her twenties; Sidalee's emerald green eyes reflect both wisdom beyond her years and a spirit of resilience forged by the challenges of life. Scars from years of combat training mar her hands and arms, though her back has deeper more direct scars that are a touch more personal. Her hands are calloused from handling throwing knives and other weaponry through the years.
Personality:
Sidalee Maloué is a force to be reckoned with. Her striking red hair and sharp green eyes are as vibrant as her spirited nature. Known for her quick wit and captivating charm, she navigates the treacherous waters of the military with ease, making her an invaluable soldier.
Beneath her elegant exterior lies a hidden talent for the deadly arts. As a skilled assassin, Sidalee moves with precision and grace, her dual life a testament to her cunning and resourcefulness. Her loyalty is fierce, and her resolve unyielding, making her a formidable ally and a dangerous foe.
But despite her more serious occupation, Sida has always been a touch reckless and wild with enjoying herself as she sees fit. Which has gotten her into significant amounts of trouble with her family.
Magic: N/A
Combat experience: After expressing her desire to be trained as a soldier (much to her adopted mother’s chagrin), Sida found her niche lied in more subtle techniques. She excelled with throwing knives, and while she’s decently proficient with a sword; she prefers hidden blades. Her calloused hands quickly became accustomed to handling blades without cutting herself, and if she allows someone in her personal space; it’s safe to assume she has a blade on her person.
She’s worked her way up in rank and has expressed great interest in being given more… private work, carrying out delicate matters.
Her skill with close combat and stealth led her to being trained as an assassin. She’s been privately training for the last three years.
She’s also very proficient with poisons.
Family:
Daphne - Mother (DECEASED)
Kam Maloué - Knight - Father
Imogen Maloué - Stepmother
2 older half brothers
History:
To put it simply: Sidalee is an illegitimate daughter who, thanks to her father’s pleading; ended up being ‘accepted’ by his wife, who had always wanted a daughter. The girl very clearly stood out, her fiery red hair, freckled complexion and emerald green eyes weren’t easily overlooked, not when she was the spitting image of a deceased village whore. Nonetheless, Imogen insisted on nothing but the best.
The young girl received private tutoring in the family’s home, studying languages, art, and history of the land. As she got older, classes expanded to include politics, dance and social studies. It was during this time that Sidalee let it be known she wanted to pursue training to be a soldier. She had too much energy and wanted to do something more exciting.
So, that ended her private tutoring and landed her in military training. It was strenuous and difficult, but the girl was tenacious and determined. Sida was fearless, and didn’t turn away when things hurt, and damn did she end up hurt a lot. It was also when she befriended one of the only other girls her age training, she was a commoner, but she was almost more fierce than Sida was. Her name was Illyria. And the two became inseparable.
Though frowned upon heavily, the two girls couldn’t help but find themselves sharing more intimate moments with one another… stealing glances during training, choosing to spar together just to find moments where they could have lingering touches and sneaking away together. The first time someone discovered the two together kissing, Sida’s parents insisted on having her punished. After all; relations between members of the same sex weren’t what they wanted for her.
Illyria had been beaten, which only served to enrage Sida more than anything. The raven haired beauty had been hit so hard with a hand that clearly wore a ring, one of her deep blue eyes was swollen shut. Sida’s parents had been more discreet; choosing to have her beaten without leaving any visible marks. Despite the fear, the punishments and the difficulty; the two girl refused to be kept apart. While they did their best to refrain from being caught together, the two made a damn good team when in active combat. While Sidalee was proficient with throwing knives and hidden blades; Illyria preferred a battle axe or spear. Over time, the beatings each girl received got increasingly worse. Until Illyria got sick.
She was too weak from her beatings to properly heal, and when Sida went to visit her… she was gone. The healers assured that her friend had been in such poor health she couldn’t fight off the sickness. She didn’t believe Illyria had been taken away from her just like that. They never even let her say goodbye, something about the potential for her friend’s corpse being contagious.
In the time following Illyria’s death, Sida threw herself into her training and studies. Which earned her the notice of a warlord. Her quick hands and finesse with a knife only made him more sure than ever that she ought to be undergoing more specific and intentional training. She rose through the ranks quickly, making Knight at twenty-one.
At the age of twenty-one Sida began her more in-depth and independent stealth training. For the last three years Sidalee has been one of Mont Daegal’s most efficient assassins. Her success has seen her promoted to Banneret.
