Sexually active and bi-curious.
Family: Diog (father), Arsilien (mother), Malko (older brother, deceased), Philene (younger sister) [link]
Story: Derva is the daughter of two famed warriors who were part of Eluse's army, under the orders of Queen Saran [link] She was trained and raised in her family's grounds along with her siblings. As a child, she had a privileged relationship with her brother and spent a rather happy childhood until she and her little sister witnessed Malko's assassination at the hands of Veliniffa [link] and the sisterhood of Rein. She was 13. She tried to take on Veliniffa right after but was just no match and was defeated pretty easily.
Cursing herself for not having been strong enough to help her brother out, she decided to get stronger and pleaded to her parents to let her enter the tournament of selection to enter the armies of Queen Saran. She was selected among the many candidates and was noticed for her fierce style and her unusual endurance for a female. She then entered the tutelage of one Eluse's most prominent generals: Lady Senami. In this instance, she met her best friend, Anor [link] . She then met Anor's soon-to-be husband, Izekondi [link] who was still a high ranking monk at that time.
She was later chosen by Queen Saran herself as the new head of her personal guard, along with Izekondi.
Derva spends a lot of time with the Queen and looks up to her as her mentor and as a second mother. She also highly respects Lady Senami [link] , her mistress and tutor.
Powers: Superhuman strength, endurance and enhanced reaction time and eyesight. She can produce concussive energy and can load her weapons with it in order to increase the power of her blows. The more she fights, the more she moves, the more she produces energy. She can also focus this energy in her fists and feet if she fights hand-to-hand or can cast it at her opponents. However, energy casting also drains her from said energy and if she does it too much, she will no longer be able to use her powers until the next day.
An extremely skilled swordswoman, she uses her blades when she doesn't want to use her powers.
Weapons: A scimitar and 2 daggers as trump cards.
Weaknesses and annoying traits: Derva is ruthless in battle and has no compunctions about killing or maiming her opponents, whoever they may be. She enjoys the thrill of battle and relishes the rush of adrenalin she feels every time she charges up her powers.
She is barren and will never have a child. She treats it as a non-issue but is secretly deeply scarred by it, which makes her very sensitive about her femininity and she avoids the company of pregnant women and babies.

I am pretty much exhausted right now so I will stop there!
Constructive critiques are very welcome since it is the first time I create characters. I've used the many guidelines given to character creation on this website as well as the tips of tvtropes.com.
