Description
Ellaciszka Ciotkowska, of the Ciotkowsk family is a Hussaria of the Kingdom of Kravadia and a personal friend of the current Heiress to the throne, Izolda Krysinska. Ellaciszka Ciotkowska comes from a Szabla family, a kind of noble military landowning family that forms the majority of Kravadian nobility, they provide a majority of the heavy cavalry that Kravadia can wield. Hussaria are a kind of heavy shock cavalry but more agile and mobile, more affordable for Szabla families to field in large numbers, it also enables their skill in horse archery to be utilised. Their shock power is admittedly not the same as Knights, but it is still very potent. Hussaria are famed also for their rather distinctive 'wings' made from the feathers of either birds or Griffins, in Ellaciszka's case, hers are from a fine Royal Griffin, having been given to her by her Grandfather, the wings are designed to make a thundering noise to scare enemy horses and demoralise the enemy. Ellaciszka is a fun loving, kind and caring soul, but also a fierce warrior and like many Hussaria is more than willing to die for her homeland. Her friendship Izolda is an old and deep one, both have grown up together due to the Royal family spending its retreats at the royal residence next to her family estate, as such they grew up together and formed a friendship that has survived to this day. Despite this friendship Ellaciszka has had to earn her position as a Hussaria of the Ciotkowsk family like all the others, and she has proven the that right many times over fighting Mountain Orc Raiders, Bandits, even one time a group of skeletons. She is likely to remain and always be a close friend of the future Queen and she may one day be the first in her family to achieve the rank of Hetma, or Hetman, the commander of the Hussaria and one of the highest positions in the Kingdom.

Ellaciszka Ciotkowska is a character in the world based of a very good friend of mine who I had this made for her birthday a while back and debated whether or not to add it here. Kravadia as I am sure must be obvious is Poland, so here was an idea of what both a female Hussar and one from the 1350s would look like and have to say it turned out phenomenal, she ended up having it printed and framed which she still has in her room
