SABINE RINGHAL
GENERAL
Name: Sabine Ringhal
Age: 33
Birth Season: Spring
Occupation: King's witch
Citizen Status: Noble
PHYSICAL
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 110lbs
Body Description: Sabine is a woman of relatively slight build, both in terms of height and build. She isn't exactly what you'd call imposing. One thing that does signal her out are her piercing green eyes.
PERSONAL
Alignment: Lawful evil
Reputation: There are plenty of whispers to be heard about the King's Witch. Whilst Sabine is old enough to remember the days before king Julius III and the men from Lorendale, she is among those who took to his philosophy of control the most enthusiastically. That is to say that she strives to dominate all those around her. Notions such as mercy and compassion are lost on her as she believes them to belong to the old ways and the weak. Ethics don't enter the equation, she would gladly sacrifice a hundred lives if it would grand Nevermere victory and ensure that her position was just that little bit more firmly anchored.
Her loyalty to the crown is bordering on the fanatical. She won't question orders, no matter how grizzly and willingly devotes every waking moment of her day to her duties. Some even speak of her dreams being filled with dark spells to bring an end to other nations.
Sabine maintains a certain mystical allure around her at all times. She generally treats others who rank beneath her with a fair amount of disdain and won't even bother addressing them. When she does, it's almost inevitably direct and frequently either opened with or finished with an insult of some description. The woman is a perfectionist and frowns upon any failings, especially from others.
Combat Experience: Sabine jumped at the opportunity to join the military as soon as she came of age, going through the mandatory training when it was first implemented, she graduated from the first of its classes. It's true that she didn't exactly excel as her physical strength didn't match some of her comrades. Where she stood out however was both in terms of selfless and zealous dedication and her innate magical ability. In short, Sabine can defend herself if required but likely wouldn't last long physically against a skilled opponent.
MAGIC
Sabine willingly practices all four types of magic which are available to the Nevermere witches, regardless of what sacrifices are required.
HISTORY
Family: Aurora Ringhal (mother, 54), Yuron Ringhal (father, 58), younger brother (23), younger sister (28)
Tale:The Ringhal family were merchants. They were well-enough off but not excessively rich and most certainly not nobles. Their lives were comparatively mundane. As a child, Sabine enjoyed a comparatively carefree youth, if a somewhat isolated one as her parents' profession saw the family travelling around the country leaving her with little opportunity to form lasting friendships. When Julius II and his men arrived, like most of Nevermere, the Ringhals welcomed the strangers, making sure to take advantage of their presence to sell their goods to the foreigners.
Whilst she was only a relatively young girl at the time, the idea that through control one could rise to claim one's rightful position in life enthralled the young woman. As such, she didn't shed too many tears after the coup. Her parents however, were more concerned, fearing that this new and more violent philosophy might very well damage their income should war arrive. Sabine sneered at this, seeing an opportunity for even those who were perhaps born to lesser families such as herself rise in power and authority.
She was only too keen to join the military as soon as the opportunity presented itself. There, the girl was noticed for her dedication and zealous belief in Nevermere's new governing philosophy. If her physical strength and size let her down somewhat, she made up for it with a talent for the magical arts which startled even her tutors. The young woman rose quickly through the ranks and was assigned a paired soldier for her protection. Her increased skill saw her family benefit from an increasing number of clients, some of whom hoped that they might be able to buy the favors of the young witch. From time to time, rumor has it that she would even grant them at great expense to whoever purchased the services of course.
Ultimately the Ringhal family rose to become nobles and the last few gripes her parents might have had were ultimately silenced. Especially when their daughter made it quite clear that she wouldn't tolerate disloyalty to the crown in her household.
Somehow, this threat reached the ears of some individuals of higher standing as Sabine found herself allowed into the palace. Slowly but surely, she rose in power and authority, seemingly living only to serve Nevermere's king. At the age of thirty, her position became official as the king's witch. She would serve king Julius III silently, fulfilling any task asked of her without question or reservation.
