Description
My first try at a character sheet... As you can see, I have no natural talent for it
Naturally, Selissa was the first to go and her expression clearly says she's not happy with my work!
Anyway, I request a lot of commissions from different people, and I always ends up just giving them the physical description, because I'm lazy, but I thought I would finally write a character bio, the short version you can see on the sheet!

Selissa
Backstory
Selissa has no memories of her childhood or her parents. The first thing she remembers is being found battered and bruised outside the Temple of Issara, where the resident priests found her and took her in.
Scared and confused, she was hesitant to trust the good will of the priests, but befriended the kind and gentle apprentice Calen, who was only slightly older than herself.
While growing up at the temple she found herself becoming an outcast, because of her long black hair and strange silver eyes which gave her the appearance of a demon in its human form and made the angel-worshipping residents of the temple wary of her.
She has a large, black symbol covering most of her back, but has no idea what it means of how she got it. No one seems to know its meaning or else no one wants to tell her about it.
At some point she was taught sword fight by a Blade Master who passed through the temple and was given two old twin swords by him as a gift. She finds training with them a great way of blowing off steam and has become a quiet adapt fighter.

Resounding Echo(First Book)
After having stayed at the temple for about six years, a strange traveler called Alassane comes to the temple and, to Selissa's annoyance, starts showing great interest in her for reasons she doesn't know.
Soon weird things starts happening. A young boy is found murdered and disfigured, and Selissa starts hearing a strange voice in her mind. The only one who seems to know what is going on is Alassane and Selissa demands an explanation.
He soon tells her that a clan of demon worshippers called the Demios is after her and that he needs her help to stop them from performing a ritual that's supposed to summon the demon Lord Azarial.
Reluctantly, Selissa leaves the temple in order to stop the Demios, which leads her to discover secrets about herself and the mark on her back.
In the magical capital Var'Nori, she encounters the Demios member Ardeth, who has been sent to capture her. Only Alassane's intervention prevents him from almost killing her.
Afterwards it's revealed to Selissa that the symbol on her back marks her as the host of Cadeyrn, an powerful archangel who sacrificed himself to seal away Azarial.
After continuing encounters with the Demios and their leader Ilyan, Selissa slowly starts being able to control Cadeyrn's magical powers and discovers that Alassane was the previous host of the archangel.
In anger at the many things he has kept from her, she leaves him and runs into Ardeth, who reveals that he doesn't hold any loyalty towards the Demios and out of curiosity and boredom decides to help her.
A messenger from the Demios tells Selissa and Ardeth that the Demios are holding Calen captive, and in order to rescue him, they track down Alassane and goes to the Demios' hideout.
