Head commander of the Queen's armies.

⚔️🗡️⚔️ Commander Sirkka Vainio ✦ Head of the Royal Armies ✦ ✦ Basic Information Full Name: Sirkka Vainio Title: Commander of the Royal Armies, Warden of the Eastern March Age: 31 Gender: Female Kingdom: Eryndor Status: Alive, fiercely loyal ✦ Physical Appearance Hair: Pure white, cut short and uneven – practical for battle. Worn with a single braid on the left side. Eyes: Crimson red – striking, intense, often described as unsettling. Glow faintly in low light (a family trait). Build: Athletic and lean, wiry muscles from years of sword training. Tall for a woman, with a commanding presence. Signature Features: A jagged scar across her right cheekbone (from a raider). Small split on left ear (frostbite from a northern campaign). Typical Attire: Fitted black armor over dark grey tunic. High boots with steel toe caps. A longsword always at her hip – no ceremonial weapons, only functional ones. ✦ Personality - Disciplined and stoic. Shows no fear in battle. - Blunt to the point of rudeness. Does not believe in softening truth. - Deeply loyal to Queen Athen – not out of fear, but because Athen gave her a chance when no one else would. - Protective of her soldiers. Known to personally retrieve wounded from the battlefield. - Secretly haunted by the lives she has taken. Does not sleep well. Drinks bitter tea instead of wine to stay sharp. "A commander who will not bleed with their soldiers is not a commander. They are a coward with a title." ✦ Role & Responsibilities - Commands all royal military forces – infantry, cavalry, scouts, and castle guard. - Responsible for border defense, especially against Kortian raiders. - Trains new recruits personally. Runs the morning drills at dawn. - Advises Queen Athen on military strategy and troop movements. - Reports directly to the queen – refuses to answer to Lord Cain Vorth, whom she distrusts. ✦ Backstory - Born in a remote northern village that was razed by Kortian marauders when she was nine. Her family died. She survived by hiding under frozen bodies. - Wandered for years as a child soldier, fighting for whoever would feed her. Developed a reputation for brutality and survival. - At nineteen, she was captured by Eryndor patrols while raiding a supply caravan. Queen Athen (then in her second year of rule) was present and could have executed her. - Instead, Athen offered her a choice: join the royal army or die. Sirkka chose to serve. Within a decade, she rose through the ranks on merit alone. - Has never forgotten that Athen spared her. She owes the queen a life-debt and takes it seriously. ✦ Abilities & Skills Sword Mastery: One of the finest duelists in the kingdom. Favors a longsword but can fight with any blade. Tactical Genius: Reads battlefields like maps. Rarely loses an engagement. Survivalism: Can live off the land, track prey, and navigate without stars. Intimidation: Her white hair, red eyes, and scarred face make enemies hesitate. She uses this. Endurance: Can fight for hours without rest. Trained herself to ignore pain. ✦ Weaknesses - No patience for politics. She is easily manipulated in court settings because she refuses to play the game. - Emotionally closed off. Cannot express vulnerability. This isolates her from potential allies. - Trusts Athen absolutely. This could be exploited – she would follow a bad order if the queen gave it. - Night terrors. Does not sleep more than four hours. Fears that one day she will collapse mid-battle. ❦ blood and steel ❦
