¬ Personality: xXxLerieh is a very knowledgeable person. which can be a bit strange for a Templar to be. But being born a Drow, it is simply in her nature to learn. Many at this point would call her a fountain of useless knowledge. Although it is simply a creative nickname due to the numerous random things she simply knows off the top of her head. Lerieh is also a bit of a hot head. Meaning when provoked in the right way, she easily snaps. Soon after can enter into a blind rage. Lerieh is very good about controlling her anger. She believes entering into her rage is simply a last resort. When she is calm, relaxed, and given time to rest Lerieh can be a very sweet girl. Lerieh is not the most reiligious person, at least with the faith of humans. But will not go out of her way to point out the faults.
        xXxWhen it comes to her job, Lerieh honestly puts it second. She will talk down to her superiors, ignore them completely when she does not agree, and question them often. She has left the church suddenly in the past to return to a crisis in her family. Her city is constitutionally under attack by high Elves. Forcing Lerieh to always keep an ear out. This does not mean she is not loyal to the church. Being a Templar for decades, Lerieh has more than proved herself. Anyone who questions this she is quick to put to rest. She worries often for her village. When it comes to being around others, Lerieh is perfectly fine being with them, or away. She is not dependent on her fellow warriors. But she is also quick to aid at the same time. One can say Lerieh is a bit of a power keg. Calm most of the time, but when she does go off it normally isn't pretty.
              There are even rumors Lerieh may be leaving the order. But non have come from her just yet.

         ¬ Talent: Dual Weapon
        ¬ Weapon of Choice: Two dirks, Two short swords.

 ¬ History: Being born a Drow, right off the bat Lerieh is believed to be an evil magical being. Both of which is not true. Because she is a darker elf, she easily noticed outside races are very careful around her. At the same time, being born an elf, usually she would be born with some sort of magical ability. Not Lerieh. She is the only daughter to her mother and father. Both of her parents had very slight magical abilities. Her mother could heal fevers, while her father could grow seeds. But Lerieh was born with nothing. Often feeling left out by her peers. She still had a pretty good life. Since it was not uncommon for Drow's to be born magicaless. Sadly the ones without magical abillties were believed to be lesser in Drow culture. Since they could do less for society.
              One would believe this would develop a hatred towards magical beings. Well, they would be right. At the time all seemed normal. But there was a rather large gap between the community. Drows behaved much like dwarfs. Everyone contributed to the clan in some way. They were not nomadic like their light brothers and sister, and in fact stayed in one place. The only reason humans rarely find where the Drow's reside is because of the magical wards. True to Drow culture, they are a best kept secret within the small city. Drow's are also not a very large race to begin with. Lerieh grew up to become a dancer in her teen years. Something very sought out by non-magical Drows. It gave them an edge to marry up into Nobel society. Lerieh also learned to sing, and play instruments. A forty-six stringed Lute known as the vazhan-do became her best known, and even to this day she keeps one around. Along with being an entertainer, Lerieh was trained.
        xXxBecoming a Templar was nothing less than easy for Lerieh. She was trained since birth to become a warrior. An assassin some would call it. Once turning sixteen, she was recruited into the small army her people set up. A war broke out just a short while later. Between the high Elves and Drows. Lerieh would work with a special group established by the elders. They would be the ones to assassinate any leaders of the enemy. She was still very young in this point in her life. Often being put down for her attitude. There were even a few points Lerieh would simply errupt into a blind rage. Her worse probably being when her older brother (As she called any dear friend), who was also in the small army, was killed in front of her eyes. Not only was Lerieh able to take down a good portion of the army by herself, but she was also stuck in bed to recover for a little over a month after the incident.
        xXxIt came time to the war to end when a single Templar came into the city to break it up. Forcing a tready upon them all. Lerieh admired how swift it happened by his simple presence, and by the age of thirty-two Lerieh took the test to be able to become a Templar. She was very young for someone of her race, but a bit older compared to some of the others taking the test. She passed with flying colors, and became a Recruit. Lerieh did not excel threw the ranks like most of the more recent Templars would believe. Instead she took her time to hone her skills. Mastering them slowly, making sure her moves were perfect. Lerieh is not greedy though. If she wanted, she could possibly be a Knight-Commander. But instead Lerieh holds herself back. Mainly because it probably is not a very good idea having a berserker, and lets be honest, an Elf...  being that high up.
              Living among humans has given her family great dishonor within her people. At least to the Nobles. Although honestly no one else could care less. Lereih being present among humans and ordering around grown men like toys is something that has brought her several assassin attempts. Five of the some thirty or so actually has hit her. One being almost fatal. Their is a discoloration along her neck where it happened. Although it was probably close to twenty years now.
