Yan Fei'Er, Gong Zhu Cao

Description

When I got really bored, I sometimes take our DnD rulebooks and create some character... Just because I want to know what this and that class can do or see how interesting it would be to play it instead of Kalevatar... And so Yan Fei'Er was created. I admitt she was inspired by a film (Empress and the warriors - chinese, very cliché and not as good as many others but watchable for fun).
She is a chinese princess who was deprived of her throne by her cousin yearning after power. So she is roaming throught the world and seeking for allies and revenge.
She was trained in marital arts, swordfighting and war strategy so she could lead armies after death of her father but her first battle ended terribly and she lost her throne then. She is proud and of high manners, though modest and used to rough army beds and food. Actually, she is a knight, so there should be also her horse but I can't draw horses, so it is probably feeding on grass somewhere behind the screen.
Her name, Yan Fer'Er, is stolen fom that chinese movie (and it is also the reason why I made this character) and it could mean Flying Swallow:) (Yep, another Swallow.) Her title is my own invention and since I don't know anything about Chinese language or writing, it might be totaly wrong... It is Gong Zhu Cao and it is supposed to mean "the Princess of Grasslands" because her kingdom was just a one big grassland:)
