Annora Sidra

"There is no path for redemption."

- The Lifebinder

Annora Sidra (アノラ シドラ Anora Sidora) is known to be a Freelance Mage, not really belonging to any permanent establishment. Guilds and Organizations will hire her to perform a task for them, and her main clients are usually Dark Guilds. Annora has been known to be hired for assassination jobs, and has been known to complete her jobs with ease. With these jobs comes her insatiable greed for power as well as money. She doesn't just do it for getting those pesky little mages off of Earthland that get in her way, she does it for the money. She obviously has a bigger agenda than dedicating her time to the Dark Guilds, she's just trying to get her name out there, then she can start setting her plan into action. Even though she looks like a goody-two-shoes, she is far from it. She only dresses this way to look like the ultimate form of power, an amazon, and in her amazon-like garb she feels like she is invincible. Her greatsword, Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury also makes it feel like she is the ultimate powersource. With her incredibly musuclar body, she actually looks like she is one herself. Maybe that's why so many people mistake her for someone to come in and save the day. She uses this to get incredibly close to her targets, with them thinking she's one of the good guys makes it so much easier. However, she's actually the type of person to come in and completely ruin your day.

Appearance
Annora is dressed like she is ready to ride her horse to aid the people who need her help. However, she's not exactly that kind of person. In fact, she could be the exact opposite of the person she is trying to dress like. She's dressed like an amazon, a sign of ultimate power, she didn't try to intend to look like a symbol of hope or delight. However, being dressed and looking like an Amazon also makes her feel like she is untouchable, that she is so intimidating people won't even look her in the eyes. Even though people still do. Nonetheless, many people see her as someone who comes to save the day. She didn't really intend people to see her that way, and it's mostly because people still don't really know who she is. She's working on it though. With her long golden locks, she's ready to 'save the day'. Annora's long and wavy blond hair falls down to about her mid-back. She doesn't really do anything with it, she just pushes it behind her winged-headpiece so that her hair doesn't bug her. She doesn't really matter what it looks like anyway, she still takes care of it, but she just won't do anything with it. She just simply doesn't care. Nonetheless, it still manages to look like she spent a lof of time putting her hair together. If you know her well enough, it's just her lucky genes that do it for her. She couldn't care less what her hair does, well, as long as she looks good killing people. It's surprising that the devilish grin that she doesn't have on her face most of the time doesn't throw people off. It really gives off the vibe that she has bad intentions instead of good ones. People tend to look right past her evil-like grin and sometimes it doesn't go too well for them. Annora has bright blue eyes that almost seem to glisten in the sunlight, another factor to make her look innocent. However, those eyes have watched death and despair, and those eyes have love every second of it. There's not one millicentimeter of innocence in those eyes. It just happens to be the way her eyes hit the light, it is not a twinkle of hope or innocence. Nonetheless, her eyes really accentuates her almost lightly-tanned complexion. She has an interesting complexion though, because it's not really a natural tan. It comes from being out in the sun all day, fighting, training. If not for this, she would like a ghost or some other form of white beast. So, her eyes not only make her skin pop, but it almost makes all of her other features pop as well. It makes her skin look tanner than it already is, her hair more golden than it would look without her bright blue eyes, and it also makes the clothing that she wears stand out a little more. Annora has an incredibly muscular body, there is no location that is not completely muscle. And along with her extremely muscular body comes with a higher stamina as well as endurance. She can not only beat you down, but she can also do it longer than you can. This is what makes her such a formidable opponent, because she doesn't need her magic powers to beat you down. With her sword and her strength, she'll obliterate you.

Much like it has been stated before, Annora wears the garb of what seems to be her vision of the powerful Amazon woman. With a greek flavor to it as well as being ornamented with golden accents, it truly resembles her power as well as her great wealth. She will often boast that the golden items she wears are true gold, and she isn't afraid to mention it once or twice in one sentence. Her most prized possession would be her headdress, and it looks as if it has some kind of viking influence. The wings and the large jem in the middle are the first two things you see when you see the headdress, and she likes it that way. It makes her feel like all of the eyes are on her when she wears this. There's also the other golden aceents that adorn her body, some with beautiful engravings on the edges or the tops. She spent good money for these to be made for her, so she could kick butt and have it hurt really bad after. Also, to look good of course. Annora also has what looks like to be a dress, but it's actually some kind of skort-like-dress. She wouldn't wear anything if people could look right up her skirt, that would just be weird. So, she had her dress-like-clothing come with built in shorts. It made everything so much easier, she could do so much more. There's also the big gold piece that adorns her chest as well, and this is the piece that she is the most proud of. Well, next to her headdress of course. The gold piece seems to travel up her body and extend out, and it looks like it is some kind of raging on the front of her body. It is truly a sight to behold.

Personality
Annora is able to take on fake personalities in order to get closer to her target, or even to trick someone for a period of time, and pretending that she is a self-rightous mage is probably the most frequent personality she uses. She's tricked so many people so many times that it's how she normally is, even when she is not around her targets. She'll appear to be at least a decent human being, However, that's not what she's actually like. In fact, she is far from it. She's actually a lying, horrible person when it comes to her true self. You see, she's like an onion. On her outer layers, she is able to decieve people into thinking she isn't a dreadful person. As you peel the onion more and more, you get to her backstory and that might make you tear up for a bit. Hence the onion reference. Then when you finally get to what seems to core, you see her true colors. She likes to watch people be in pain, and Annora likes to be the person that causes it. We’ll get to that soon, but let's dive deeper into her fake personality. She isn't that good at it, she can be a tad mean at times when she doesn't really want to be. Or, she just doesn't want everyone to think she is mean. However, it's how she really is, so it's hard to hide it. Annora tries to make up for it with compliments or pretending that she didn't mean it, and sometimes it works. Other times, people can tell she really meant it. Though, for some reason, they still choose to be around her. It's hard for her when she has to go on missions when it involves saving people, because she is so used to killing people. Annora has had to catch herself a couple of times, she was poised to kill, and that would be bad if she did actually kill someone when she really wasn't supposed to. However, there are those times where she actually can be genuinely nice. It's when all her other temptations are out of the way, killing and so on. Annora is pretty good when it comes to offering advice, it usually involves violence, but she would mean the best. Though, the thing she is best at, is listening. It's easiest after all, she doesn't have to blow her cover by offering to assassinate anyone. Plus, Annora likes to listen people cry and suffer. It's pretty hard not to snicker or smile, but then she reminds herself that she is on a mission. All in all, she can be nice if she is forcing herself super hard to, but that's rare. Only if she has to in order to get close to her target, other times, she could be the definition of evil. Now, let's get to her true self, and it's a long ride. Annora is truly evil, in fact, you could say that her heart is completely black and there is no room for love. That's exactly right. She is able to kill without remorse and would gladly do it again in a heartbeat. She didn't have a super tragic backstory that made her into what she was. In fact, she was raised to be like this. But, let's get to that later. Even though she sounds like she could be the perfect villain, the one who likes to bask in the glory of their undoings and much more. However, she is rather reserved when it comes to that. Surprisingly, Annora is not a boaster. She doesn’t like to show off her great feats of strength in battle, nonetheless, she would do it if she had to. Mostly because it is part of her job, she needs to make sure that she isn’t quite as known; so people won’t come barging down her door filled with revenge. It’s also because she is quite reserved as a person. There is a reason why people think that she is so glorious, and that is why. Annora doesn’t reveal who she truly is right away. She doesn’t declare that she isn’t on the side of justice, she just sits back and watch things play out. When it comes to being wicked, she could be the person who would be a prime example. She kills not only for the glory of it, but she likes that she gets paid for it. Mercy isn't in her nature, and wouldn't even give someone a second thought if they were on her hit list. That's what sets her apart from most people, she doesn't seem to have true emotion when it comes to that topic. She doesn't think twice, she just does it and goes home. Annora knew that there was something inside her that was driving her to kill people, so she figured that she should get paid for it. She never really took any interest in joining a Dark Guild, she viewed herself far above them. Even though they sometimes shared the same morales, she considered herself more....civilized. It may be true in some cases, but there are some where she is on the same level as them. As you can tell from her personality above, she doesn't seem to be a people person at all. In fact, she is far from it. Annora doesn't have many friends, you could consider her lonely, but she doesn't mind that much. She'd rather be alone than having someone being around her constantly, she would get the urge to kill them from time to time. So, she's okay with not being a people person. It's not just friends she has had a hard time with, it's people overall. She obviously has no interest in dating or any kind of relationship along those lines. However, she never really grew up with people who loved her, or with any love around her at all, so she generally has a hard time recreating those feelings. She does know how to deal with a flirtatious person, by punching them in the face. Overall, just make sure you don't cross paths with Annora, or bad things will happen to you.

History
There are many parts of Annora's past that she doesn't like to share with people, especially when it comes to her upbringing. Most children had loving parents who cared and nurtured their child, but her parents did the exact opposite. She was born an orphan, her parents erased from the world by a Dark Guild. It's a little ironic, because she would eventually grow up to be the emodimentt of a Dark Guild. Nonetheless, she was orphaned. Annora spent most of her important childhood years in a run down orphanage, plotting her revenge against those who wronged her. During this time, she was considerdd the 'weird' one at the orphanage, and this resulted in bullying. For a while, she ignored it because she wanted to focus on her parents' death. However, it got to the point where she couldn't take it any more. Annora waited until she was ready to exact her revenge upon the very Dark Guild that killed her parents, to also deal with the children that were bullying her. She had come across an ancient book of magic, eventually learning Embodiment of the Stars. When the day came for her revenge, Annora seemed incredibly happy. She was usually a sad child, so this made many of her bullies as well as her adults suspicious. They were right, she was acting incredibly weird. Using her powerful magic, she killed them all with no remorse. In fact, she would gladly do it again. However, her work wasn't finished. She still had to take her revenge out on the people who killed her parents. With adrenaline pumping in her veins from her first kill, she made her way towards the Dark Guild. Of course they must have been a little skeptical when a child walked in, demaningg that she would have their heads. They should have believed her, because that's exactly what she did. Just like the children who bullied her, she brutally murdered them. That day was a turning point for her, they day she realized that she was a monster. Unlike many, she didn't turn away from what she was. Instead, she embraced it. Annora wanted to be strong, she wanted to strike down her enemies like she just did. In order to do this, she would have to become what many feared. And she gladly accepted it.

Annora began to live on her own after this encounter, she refused to be put back into another orphanage. And those who attempted to put her back met a terrible fate. She began to travel around the world, seeing what everyone was talking about when it came to Fiore. Nobody there seemed to question a child roaming alone, and she was happy with that. When she was traveling through a small town, Annora saw something on a bulletin board. It mentioned something about a very powerful mage, and she thought that this was the perfect time to test out the new spells she had learned. When she saw him face-to-face, she saw an old man with just a simple sword. It wasn't as easy as the thought it would be, because the battle took forever. However, she came out victorious. Annora took his sword, the very same sword that would eventually come to be known as Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury. She wasn't so good when it came to wielding it right away, but she eventually became a master after some years of training. After gaining her sword, which was half her height at the time, she traveled once more across Fiore. She would cross paths with many other mages over time, taking things from them once they have been defeated. That's how she was able to gain her rather valiant outfit, she would take items from mages that she had 'defeated'. After a while, roaming Fiore and fighting simple mages had become extremely boring to her. It was the same routine: fight, win, take something, and continue on with her journey to do it again once more to a differntt person. Annora wanted to spice things up so that she wouldn't be bored to death anymore. Now fully grown, she was able to strike fear into her opponents with just a simple glance, or the flex of her extremely large muscles. She decided that she would take up jobs to professionally kill people, something that she was rather good at. It became a regular thing, and many people across Fiore eventually started to come to her because she was so good at was she did. This is how her name started to get out, and if you knew that you were on her hit list, you should disappear. Annora did this for awhile, and even that started to get rather boring. She was making a rather good profit, but it was once again all the same. She decided that she needed a challenge, something that would test her skills. She disappeared from the scene for awhile, and she traveled once more to different parts of Fiore, testing only the best mages that she came across. Instead of taking something of theirs' and letting them go their way, she decided to do something a little more her style. She didn't kill them, because it's not as satisfactory if you don't know them. No, she paraded them through the closest town, Annora made them look as helpless as a calf. If you thought being a hitman got her name out, this made her demand skyrocket as a hitman. She doesn't do that anymore, she just takes jobs. However, if she does get the change to face off against a worthy opponent, she will. Annora hides in the shadows as a professional hitman, ready for her next job.

Equipment
Thori'dal, The Stars' Fury (その せいしん もうい sono seishin moui) A sword that could be considered a relic if it was more more known, but instead it lies in Annora's hand. At first glance, it appears to be a simple sword with no feat whatsoever. However, after a second glance, it seems much more than that. Annora herself doesn't even know how it was forged or where it came from, she took it from an old man she had defeated in battle. She took it as a gag gift, but after realizing the power it posessess, she started to use it in battle. With some unknown magic imbued in the sword, she soon didn't even need her magic to complete her tasks. It did take her time to learn the spells that were harnessed in the sword, but after she learned how to utlizie it in battle, she became even deadlier than she already was. Without what seems to be starts surging through the blade, it looks like a plain old sword. A pale yellow crystal lies near the handle of the sword, but it looks incredibly fake. However if you look close enough, you can see the magical power flowing through the gem. There is no wrapping around the handle, or it is just the same color of the sword so it blends in. When she calls upon the stars, or points it towards the sky, interesting things begin to happen to the sword. Ribbons of different colored magical power burst out of the sword, imitating what stars would look like. It truly is a sight to be hold, because it looks as if a black hole is devouring the stars, causing large amounts of light to be given off. The gem doesn't look so fake anymore, in fact, it is glowing with white light. The gem could be compared to the sun, giving large amounts of light off.
 * The Stars' Fury (その せいしん もうい sono seishin moui) The classic spell, and the most fearsome one of all. Even though it is her only spell. It can be activated by simply pulling her sword out, and as soon as her sword begins to surge with magical energy. There is nothing super complicated about it, it's just the damage it can cause after Annora charges with the sword in hand. She still has to use it like a regular sword when it comes to attacking, but once the sword makes contact with flesh, that's when the interesting part happens. There are some excpetions, however, when it comes to fighting like using a regular sword. Usually Annora fights like she is using a sword, but there are some circumstances where she can send a small wave of the destructive force towards her target. In order to do this, she has to draw from her own magical power. She doesn't like doing this, because it tires her out a lot faster, so she just will usually manually get the surge of energy to her target. The 'celestial bodies' or light that circulates around the sword stays in the wound, or attaches itself to whatever she made contact with. Then, whether it be in a wound or anythign else, it starts to break down or cause excrusatingg pain to it's host. The stars' remain on the surface of the wound, but it feels as if they are much deeper. If it's not on a human body, it can cause mass destruction to large items such as buildings. However, the larger the item that it is used on, the faster the sword will run out of magical energy. She can choose the size of the destruction that it causes, but she has to be careful so it doesn't run out of energy so fast.

Natural Abilities
Master Weapons Specialist: Even though she only wields one weapon, she has a vast knowledge of how to use other armaments as well. Annora's weapon of choice is of course her sword, but if push comes to shove, she would know how to use a different weapon if need be. She may not be as skilled using an item like a mace compared to her sword, but she can cause enough pain. Unlike what some people have claimed, Annora did not become a master weapons specialist overnight. It took many years of training herself to even wield her might sword, and maybe another year of two to be comfortable using other weapons. Along with this trait she also knows how to forge weapons as well. Even though she can forge pretty much every weapon that requires steel, she is best at creating weapons such as swords, knives, even maces. She would much rather not make weapons because it does take up a huge chunk of time, but if she had to, she would make one. So, one would watch out for her even if she was holding as something as small as a pocket knife, because she knows how to make someone really hurt if the weapon is in her possession.

Master Swordsman: This should come as no surprise, since she is always seen carrying her sword around and using it in battle. Even though Thori'dal has magic properties within the sword, she does not need the magic to win a battle when it comes to swordsmanship. She can hold her own just fine with a plain blade, with no magic whatsoever, though it does help when there is a little magic in the blade to give it the extra kick. Nonetheless, Annora is incredibly dangerous with any blade in her hand, but especially dangerous when she has her magical blade in her palm. Which is almost all of the time. It feels as if she has a blade of grass in between her fingertips and she can do whatever she wants to do with it. That should be quite terrifying, because any sword feels incredibly light to her so she can wield it easily.

Immense Strength: Judging by her tall stature and her bulging muscles, it should come to no surprise that she has incredibly strength. Annora has gained her muscle and strength over the years from many things. Wielding her huge and heavy sword as well as carrying it on her back has added to her muscular body. As well as other things, such as fighting other mages and even carrying out her assassinations. Now, Annora may not be the best with her hands when it comes to battle, but she is able to lift and carry things that may have seemed near impossible. This is why her sword feels so light to her, and why she can pick her target up with one hand with such ease.

Magical Abilities
Embodiment of the Stars (ぐたいか そのようせいしん gutaika sonoyou seishin) is an incredibly rare Caster Magic that involves the offensive use of 'celestial bodies' and 'stars' to harm and attack her enemies. Even though this magic may seem like it is using stars and celestial bodies, it is not. Usually it is just large bursts of harmful light, that's how this magic gets it's name. Annora Sidra is the only known user of this incredibly powerful magic. Spending many hours and years in a near forgotten magical library, she read about this beautiful yet fearful magic and how to use it in battle. It took her many years to practice this magic, and many years more to perfect it in battle.
 * Celestial Fire (あめの ひ ameno hi) is a spell in which Annora builds up light in both of her palms, and when she puts both her hands together, a huge pillar of light races of her palms towards her targets. This spell can be compared to a shooting star with rainbow-like light racing throughout it. This is her most simple spell, and also her most used spell since it can be fired at her opponent several times.
 * Racing Comets (レーシング すいせい reeshingu suisei) What looks like comets, even though they are just154b8230ee70aadedc8235039d5b995f.gif of light, form around Annora. She uses her mind to direct where the comets where go, and when they make contact with a surface, they explode. She can either choose to direct one towards her enemies, all of them at once, or even all of them at once against different enemies. The possibilities are endless for this spell, and Annora really likes that flexibility. This is certainly one her most destructive spells, as well as one of the easier ones to use in battle because it doesn't take up that much time to summon the balls of light. Also, this is her most famous spell because she mostly uses it when she carries out her assassinations. It is the easiest spell for her to use during her assassination tasks because it can be used from far distances and is more destructive.
 * Pillar of Light (ひばしら hibashira) Annora's most deadly spell, and sadly least used. She puts her fingersCa6ed8eb6e1f9532a8d40934a41914da.gif to her temple and she summons a huge pillar of light on her enemies. It is said to be incredibly painful to be standing under this huge pillar of light. This is an incredibly draining spell since it is incredibly destructive and the size of the pillar is incredibly massive. She would only use this spell if she was facing a larger enemy, or if she was facing off against more than one just enemy. This pillar of light is also known to be incredibly beautiful as well as being incredibly deadly. It looks as if a giant rainbow is swirling around the outside of the pillar, and stars are bouncing around on the inside. When inside the pillar, the target feels as if their skin is burning and falling off, and even though it may not fall off because they're not in the pillar for a long time, their skin is certainly burning from high exposure to light.
