Description

Schiavona is a ranger and forest keeper in kingdom of Vamora. Her father once made a deal with a forest spirit in a shape of fox who gave him power to be a great warrior and noble man in exchange for his firstborn. But when the time came and a daughter was given to him (her mother died during giving birth to her), he made up his mind, took her and travelled far to south behind mountains to safe in a great empire situated there. He knew that the revenge of Fox would reach him sooner or later, so he let made a schiavona for his daughter and paid her lessons of swordfighting, so she was able to take care about herself. After few years he died and she remained alone. She stayed there with her teacher of fingting and when she was seventeen, she found where here father had come from, so she set to north. Led by destiny she arrived to forest of Vamora where she met the Fox who became her godmother. She learn from her many secrets about forest, herbs, animals... Equipped with new knowledges she started to protect the forest and help people from nearby villages.
She is quite silent and keeps being mysterious, villagers honor her for her knowledges and wisdom, children like her because she knows, where the best berries grow. Kids call her Aunt Fox, the adults simply Schiavona according to her sword, which is uniqe there. Funny thing is, that schiavona got it's name according to Slavs (something like slavic sword) who were as mercenaries in Italy in 15. or 16. century. ... So, she should look slavic which isn't really obvious. The writing on left is in Glagolitic alphabet (the oldest known Slavic alphabet), that on right should be Cyrillic (but it is indistinguishable from Azbuka), all of them are Schiavona.
