Abandoned as an infant on the steps of a church of Althena, Kourin was raised inside the church, and while she trained as a mage under the masters of Neo-Vane, she has always felt her duty is to serve the Church that raised her. Thus, she serves as a member of Althena’s Guard in all but name—semi-permanently attached to the organization, she will strike out at any who dare oppose the Goddess. The only close friend she has is her dog, Spirit, who is always by her side.

Background

Kourin was abandoned as a child by her family on the steps of the Church of Althena, and raised within the church as an orphan. Life in the orphanage was sparse, and Kourin was constantly reminded that everything that she had was through the goodness and generosity of the Goddess. She was also painfully aware that unlike most of the other children, her parents weren’t dead—they just didn’t want her. This awareness made her feel guilty and proved to be a barrier to her making many friends. The adults at the orphanage were kind, but not particularly prone to displaying affection for their charges, and so Kourin never came to be comfortable with others, as this further reinforced her privately-held opinion that she was unworthy of being loved. Later—upon discovery of her talent with ice magic—sent to train in Neo-Vane as a mage to better serve the Goddess. Neo-Vane’s luxury was a stark contrast to her sparse upbringing to that point, and Kourin was never fully comfortable there, either--furthering her isolation as she would not indulge the way the other students did. When she graduated she was semi-permanently assigned as a mage in assisting Althena’s Guard, and was one of those brought to Lunar in pursuit of Lucia the Destroyer. She is very glad to be able to serve the goddess, and the life of a soldier suits her well.

Kourin strives to do her best in all activities, leading some to assume she is haughty or a perfectionist, but in truth she just can’t bear to fail those she feels she owes everything. Her cold demeanour and aloofness masks that she feels that she is unworthy of being cared for or having friends—all rooted back to her abandonment by her mother. She feels that she is worthless and doesn’t deserve friendship or love, and so she keeps her distance as a way to keep from having to deal with feelings she is ill-prepared to handle.

Powers and Abilities

Kourin fights using a combination of very basic swordplay and ice magic. She’s not especially talented with a sword but she can hold her own, and it can be a good tactic to appear to be a normal swordswoman and then spew an icicle lance at someone. She is quick and agile, favoring light blades such as the rapier that hangs on her hip, but she isn’t especially strong or sturdy—fighting her is like fighting a swarm of bees. Icy, frigid bees.

Relationships

Friends

Spirit: Kourin's dog Spirit is her only friend. He never judges her and he is always loyal, and he tries to bring her into contact with other people to be friends with.

Allies

Ethius Hesiod: Kourin doesn't know his name but she met this strange man one night while she was out walking Spirit, and later assisted him in an ill-fated expedition into some ruins.

Jacqueline Barber: Kourin met this woman when Spirit chased a flyer down the street that Jacqueline was trying to catch. Later Kourin assisted her with the expedition that she was leading with Ethius.

Bystanders

Noeline seemed to know Zed, and accompanied Ethius and Jacqueline's expedition. Competent. Dangerous?

Riesenlied and her pet dragon Odjn were kind and polite to Kourin and Spirit.

med civil enough when it was clear Kourin wasn't going to attack, but she made it very clear herself that should they meet again things may not be so civil the second time.

Talise Gianfair seemed to be angry at Althena and angry at Althena's Guard, and allowed that to spill out into her dealings with Kourin. But is her anger truly unjustified?

Zed is a strange young swordsman, who seems to know the Lord of Calamity, but doesn't seem directly involved. He, too, went along on the failed expedition to the ruins.

Enemies

Lucia and her companions are the reason Kourin is here

Lemina Ausa seemed civil enough when it was clear Kourin wasn't going to attack, but she made it very clear herself that should they meet again things may not be so civil the second time.


It's Complicated

Hiro is an orphan just like Kourin. He's kind, he's understanding, and he told Kourin that she shouldn't hate herself so much. She likes him, and she likes Ruby. The only problem is, he's one of the Lord of Calamity's closest companions, and Kourin's duty is to bring them to justice.
