Backstory
Daughter of infamous Coerthan sellsword Victor Gilfigdorwen and a mercenary of some renowned herself. Anavale travels all over the world looking for work and the next best fight with a sword in hand. While coming from a rough background of being born in the Brume and raised on the road. Learning the art of sword fighting from her father as a young child. She's turned it into a profitable career as the "Crimson Knight." A fighter who is known to get the job done, even if it means taking the bloodiest path to get there.

Appearance
Average height with a toned build fit to her combat style. With deep red curls always tucked up into a large bun on her head and crimson eyes to match. Giving her an intimidating gaze. Even if she's usually smiling. Often draped in the same red and black color scheme with a sword more akin to a slab of metal than a blade. Better to try and fit the front of "Crimson Knight."
Personality
Inquisitive and hot-headed, Anavale always seeks to learn more about others, their stories, their lives, and why they do what they do. A bit reckless with her actions but, always tries to be practical with most things in her day-to-day life. She is deeply passionate about the things dear to her. The art of combat, the people she protects, and believing in a better future for all.
Hooks
♦ Ishgard native ♦
Growing up in the Brume of Ishgard she's spent her life going back and forth from the city and knows it like the back of her hand. Meeting people in high and low places. Whether it's hanging around the Forgotten Knight or going to her favorite bakery in the Jeweled Crozier. Without fail, she always ends up back in Ishgard for work whether she likes it or not.♦ Mercenary ♦
No job too big, no venture too great! Well... maybe. Coming from a line of mercenaries, she's no stranger to some crazy shit or pulling some herself. The Crimson Knight has a bloody reputation to match the name and she's not ashamed of it. Or if you haven't heard of her, her father was infamous around Coerthas back in his day for having picked off a couple of Ishgard's nobility.Maybe you two have worked together or you hired her? Have you heard of her at all?♦ World traveler ♦
From Tural to Othard, she makes a point to go everywhere, see every landmark, and eat every food. There's a scarce few places she hasn't been. Maybe you've seen her or you've traveled with her?♦ Hot-headed ♦
While she's gotten better at maintaining her composure with time and age, she still isn't always watching her words... or actions. Unfortunately, it's not too hard to poke the bear if someone wants to.♦ At home on the coast ♦
If she's not in Coerthas or traveling, she's bouncing around La Noscea. Whether it's in her cottage in the countryside or drinking in taverns.♦ Wanted: Formerly ♦
Sometime around her early twenties, someone was on trial in Ishgard for heresy... among other things. She cleared her name with trial by combat but, surely not everyone has forgotten. The Temple Knights sure haven't.
