Rin Baypointe

Rin Baypointe is a noblewoman from Halicourt, and is a university student on holiday.

Biography
Born and raised in Halicourt, Rin is the sole heiress to the Baypointe estate. Her family renowned throughout Ascanthus for its vineyards and the wine they produce, Rin’s academic pursuits were as steadfast as her training as a swordswoman. Though well aware of her family’s philanthropic contributions to Halicourt, she remained well aware of the oppression of the lower classes and the ongoing tension resulting from it. Hoping to gain a better understanding of the socioeconomic structures of neighboring states and the attitudes of their nobles alike, Rin has become accustomed to making annual expeditions toward this aim.

Presently, Rin’s travels have brought her to Alexshire as a detour before returning home to resume her university studies.

Physical Appearance
Of a height of 5’4”, with a weight of around 108 lbs., Rin doesn’t come across as especially imposing, her sizes of B32”/W22”/H34” indicating a trim, yet by no means emaciated, figure. Having a fair complexion, her eyes are a warm amber color. Characterized by long, glossy black hair with bangs that extends to shoulder-length, it’s adorned by a headband made of ivory.

Dressed in a silk, long-sleeved indigo bodice with black laces, it opens around the shoulders to reveal a white blouse underneath. A somewhat rigid skirt matching the bodice comprising the lower portion of her attire, it’s slit up to her outer thighs, stopping halfway above her knees in the front and around her calves in the back. Rounding out the look is a pair of indigo, leather thigh-high boots with black soles, cut to expose the inner thighs.

Personality and Traits
In one word, affable. Even as far as nobles are concerned, Rin’s formality is particularly noteworthy. Known to speak in a dulcet yet clear tone, her voice as well as her expression present a nigh perpetual imperturbability. Even when dealing with the most boorish of people, she attempts to remain courteous. Should a conflict escalate to violence, however, she sees to ending it swiftly, all while maintaining her usual composure.

Combat Style
As is customary of nobles of Halicourt, though not necessarily their women, Rin has trained in the way of the sword since her early youth. Specializing in the use of a single-edged long sword, characterized by a somewhat narrow blade with a slight curve, she generally wields it as a two-handed weapon. Focusing on deliberate swipes with a respectable balance between power and speed, she’s capable of cutting a wide swath on the battlefield, often complemented by single or two-handed thrusts for pinpointed attacks, as well as fade slashes to offset her reduced mobility while the weapon is drawn.

Knowing full well that her technique puts her at a disadvantage in more enclosed environments, Rin also carries a single-edged short sword which she wields underhanded. Her interest in magic essentially limited to an academic one, she has no abilities to speak of as a mage.
