personality.

the moment beda walks into the room, you will know. she has a confident and compelling charming aura around her. she walks with her head up high, unafraid of what others have to say. she knows her worth and knows she's good in battle. some would go as far to say that she is cocky and she admits that sometimes, she slips into the cocky category. however, she is aware that there are still things for her to learn from those who are extremely naturally talented, and those that are experienced. the words that she projects from  are eloquent, she speaks with confidence which helps her to easily earn the respect of the generals and soldiers she commands.
 

beda always holds true to her words. if she says she's going to do something, she will do it. if someone tells a group that they need to do something, she will take initiative to get the task done. she doesn't like to wait around for someone else to do it. she would rather try and get things done herself even if it's outside of her expertise. if she knows she has no real knowledge in what she is dealing with, she will find the right resource to help herself. 

 

beda is a quick thinker and a quick learner. if there is a problem that needs to be solved, she will have come up with at least two different solutions within a few minutes. if she's shown something just once, she can copy it almost perfectly. sword fighting came easy to her because of her ability to retain everything she has seen. after watching her opponent in a practice duel, she can pick out their weakness and immediately adjust her way of fighting to attack their weakness.
 

as warriors for the hajnal kingdom, the general common view of those who serve is that they are protecting the kingdom from the enemies, aequor. warriors of hajnal are for the most part praised, but beda knows better. anyone who has the ability to kill another human being must be heartless, right? beda begs to disagree. everyone fights for a reason. sure there are the few that enjoy killing just to kill, but that is not the case for everyone who decides to serve. it's either to protect a loved one, or a few loved ones, the hajnal people, the king, the gods, you name it beda has heard it. she cares for her men. she cares for her younger sister. when she sees that her men, or people she cares about, are struggling with their everyday lives, she will do her best to help them out however best she can. 

deep inside of her, beda knows that if they go to war, it will serve no good and that maybe it is time for the kingdoms to put aside their differences and understand each other's reasons for the long time hatred in the first place. although she believes and feels this, as a nobel family of high ranking soldiers, she fears to step out of line with her ancestors' beliefs. she also doesn't want to be labeled as a traitor. 

 

partly because she wants to be remembered as someone who helped those in need, and partly because of the pressure from her family, beda has always been thirsty for extreme success. from a young age her ambition to achieve and do great things has been apparent from the moment she saw how great her grandfather was as a commander of the military inspired her to become the first female commander of hajnal. she comes from a lineage of talented fighters and she is no different. wielding a sword from the moment she could walk, she was born into fighting.

 

as put together and serious that beda seems, it surprises people with her impulsive and spontaneous nature. she has a tendency to act following her gutt feeling, and to many that seems like she's acting without much thought, which is true to an extent. as you're still figuring out a solution, beda would have come up with a few and would have already made up her mind on what steps to take next. she knows that she needs to stop acting so much on based on her gutt feeling and actually take her time to fully explore all the pros and cons of each possible solution. when you eliminate the serious decisions beda has to make, she enjoys doing random things that go outside of her regular day to day routine. for example, for lunch she typically spends it with other soldiers, but if she's feeling under the weather or if she's feeling super great, she'll go on an impromptu horse ride. she enjoys doing new and different things out of the blue to change things up, to make life more interesting and to in a way live life to the fullest.

 

beda hates people who beat around the bush and people who don't address the elephant in the room. beda is straightforward in everything she does and says. if there is an issue, she will address it without fear. if someone at something, she will tell them. if someone looks ugly in a new dress or shirt, she will tell them. she doesn't believe that you should allow people to believe they're good at something or look good in something if they aren't. she'd rather hurt their feelings up front so that they know they need to get better rather than falsely believe they're already good. beda has a hard time telling white lies, so if she does happen to tell you a white lie, she cares very very much about you. because she's so straightforward and insensitive to people's feelings, she's well known for hurting people's feelings. those around her like to joke that if they want a really serious honest opinion to go to her, but that if they want an "honest" opinion that isn't honest, they should look elsewhere. 

 

like many people who tend to be moody, beda doesn't realize that she is moody. it's not too hard to get her irritated. if you arrive a few minutes late, a once content beda is not a pissed off beda. if you accidently bump into her, a once okay beda is not pissed off to the max. as easy as it is for her to get irritated, it's not too hard to get her back into a good mood. if you give her space she'll be in a better mood in a few hours. if you manage to get her to laugh, she'll feel better within the hour. if you get a hold of her favorite food, she'll feel better immediately. when confronted about her moodiness, beda always turns it down and turns it on the other person. secretly though, she knows that she is moody and has been trying to be less so. 

 

beda is super impatient as well. she strongly believes that being on time is late while being early is on time. she doesn't like to waste other people's time by having them wait on her, thus she doesn't want other people to waste her time by having to wait on them. even if it's just a few minutes, those few minutes add up. the same goes with getting things done. she hates it when people are super slow to finish things. she understands people taking their time to make sure that it gets done completely and correctly, but there are times where people are just trying to waste and past time by taking all the time in the world, and that makes beda angry and impatient. 

 

beda is extremely secretive about her personal life. she doesn't mind sharing tips and tricks and advice when it comes to fighting, but as soon as the conversation starts to turn personal beda will completely shut down. it's not that she's shy about her personal life, she just wants to keep her personal life on the down low, especially as a general in the military. she doesn't need other people poking into her life asking her questions about her family or love life. considering that she is the youngest general in the military currently, she has a lot at stake. if she completely trusts you to not share her personal information and she feels close enough to you, she will open up about her family, interests, hobbies and more. 
 

as honest and frank as beda is, she has her manipulative ways to get what she wants or to where she wants. get someone kicked out of the military? easy peasy. get someone to rank up, easy peasy. she doesn't manipulate people often, but when she does she's doing it because she believes that's what's best for her and the people around her, but mostly for her. selfish, yes but she's doing what she has to do. 
 

born into a noble and well-known family of high ranking soldiers for generations and generations, the pressure put on beda was strong. her father a general and her grandfather the commander, she had little choice in deciding what she wanted to become. because of the pressure from her family, she has been submissive since she could understand words. she's always doing what her grandfather wants. as confident as she is around her men and strangers, as soon as her grandfather comes into the room, she becomes small and submissive. however, as of lately with the rumors of looking for a new commander, beda has been doing her best to shed away the submissive side of her. 

 

background.

born on april 10, mid-day, beda was welcomed into loving arms by her parents, but disapproving arms of her grandfather. beda had been expected to be a boy, at least from the wive tales for predicting gender, but there she was a first born daughter. her parents were happy to have given birth successfully to a healthy baby, they weren't concerned about the gender. despite the "set back" of beda being a female, her grandfather quickly began training her to continue on the wolfe legacy of being nobel and high ranking fighters. her mother was hesitant to let beda train from such a young age, but her father reassured her worrisome mother. they just needed to have a baby boy and beda would be free from her duties of a warrior unless she chose to pursue it. 

from as far as beda could remember she was sparring, with family friends to compete strangers that her grandfather had set up for her. she was naturally talented in sword fighting, beating many other kids who were a few years older than she was who also had received much more training, which not only surprised her grandfather, but helped her earn the love she had unknowingly desired from him. 

beda can only slightly remember the many pregnancies that her mother had after her. rubbing her mother's tummy, excited to be a big sister, yet from all those times, no baby actually turned up. her mother had gotten pregnant at least five times after the birth of beda, but each on her mother had either miscarried or given birth to a stillborn, all of which were male stillborn. a baby finally turned up when she was 13 years old. she was ecstatic to finally have a sibling. she had waited so long and she knew her parents were also ecstatic. after the day long labor her mother endured, beda finally was a big sister to a baby sister. her grandfather once again disapproved strongly, saying that her mother and father were cursed and that the wolfe name would come to an end with them. beda didn't understand why her grandfather stormed out the night of the birth of pearle, she was too focused on her baby sister to understand the argument that was going on between her father and grandfather. 

days passed since the birth of her sister and beda had noticed that her mother was oddly weak. her father brushed it off to her and told her not to worry. he instead told her to help take care of pearle when she could. beda did as she was told, but her concern for her mother was always in the back of her mind as she cuddled and rocked her baby sister to sleep.

beda's her mother had peurperal sepsis, also known as childbed fever which is an infection of the female reproductive tract. her father knew that she needed help and despite visiting various doctors in hajnal, they all didn't know how to treat her mother. as his father slowly ran out of options, he knew the only ones that could save the love of his life were the blues. they had powers to heal anything. her father made the decision to disguise himself and his wife as blues in order to sneak into their kingdom. after intense planning, her father was ready to set out. on the day of their journey, they were on their way to aequor, however they were stopped at the border. they weren't stopped by border control; they were stopped by beda's grandfather. he had no mercy on his face as he murdered beda's mother in front of beda's father after capturing the two. "she is a weakling who must die. she can't provide a heir nor can she recover from childbirth? pathetic excuse for a wife of the wolfe family." her grandfather told her father. "if you dare speak of this to beda, she will die too along with pearle and you. you are a disgrace to the wolfe family name. you are a traitor, turning to the blues for help. a regret of a son." after mourning the lose of his loved one, beda's father returned home with his father who then lied to beda claiming that the hospital beda's father and mother went to, had been ambushed by the blues and that beda's mother had died in the fight. when she questioned her father, beda's grandfather would answer, forcing her father to keep quiet. 

after the death of her mother, beda threw herself into sparring and fighting. it was the only way to get rid of the stress of losing her mother and become someone that could help revenge her mother's death. "the blues murdered your mother. remember who the enemy is." her grandfather would tell her after continuous hard days of training and sparring. revenge for her mother was what motivated her.

her father grew almost mute as he retired from the military to take care of pearle full time. it was a disgrace to men, but the women neighbors understood and did their best to help raise the poor motherless baby. beda did her best to help her father out with taking care of pearle when she wasn't training.

as pearle grew older, her father began to isolate himself more and more in his study. whenever beda or pearle would ask about their mother he would only mumble incoherent words or throw a tantrum, giving them nothing. her father wanted to protect the only things he had left of his lover, beda and pearle. if he stepped out of line he knew his father wouldn't hesitate to kill them alll. his father had after all, killed his own wife and sister. beda learned quickly to never ask about her mother because seeing the pain on her father's face tore her heart apart. whenever pearle asked, she would do her best to tell her stories of everything she could remember about their mother, but as they grew older and older, pearle also learned to not ask much about their mom. because pearle asked less, beda told less and slowly the memory of her benevolent and goodnatured mother, began to disappear.

as beda climbed the ranks to becoming one of the youngest and so far, only female general in hajnal, her purpose for even pursuing a rank in the military blurred. "remember who the enemy is." beda would repeat to herself over and over as the words were burned into her mind by her grandfather. but who was the real enemy? as she recalled the story her grandfather told her about the death of her mother, it didn't make sense. there are military bases all around the borders of the kingdoms and have been for a long time. how were the blues able to get past them? how was a whole hospital attacked, but no news about it? the more she tried to remember what she was told and the more she asked around for information about the attack on a hospital, there was nothing. things just weren't adding up. why exactly was her father isolating himself? a once loving and very involved father suddenly just pulled away. what was going on? she became very aware of the power her grandfather had over her father, heck the power he had over her. she knew he was ruthless and did not have any issues in beheading people. he was a scary, violent, ruthless and vengeful man who wanted everything his way. the gossip she heard around town about the old man wolfe, were more than enough for her to learn about all the violent things he had done during his youth. 

after much contemplation, she decided to take her father out with pearle on a trip to the country side during a time she knew her grandfather would be busy with kingdom meetings. she needed to hear the truth from her father, the only one that was really there with her mother the day the day her mother had died. once in the country she began to coax her father. it started lightly at first, just simple questions about her mother. it then led to pleading and crying before finally, the questions. what happened? was there really an attack? does grandfather have anything to do with the death of mother? did grandfather kill mother? she wasn't sure what she was asking, she just needed her father to talk even if her questions seemed to make no sense at all. however, seeing the wide eyes and slight nod of her father in response to that question was enough of an answer. her grandfather had killed her mother. it was not the blues. it was her own grandfather. not the blues. her father eventually wrote down everything from that day, everything that happened, everything her grandfather had threatened him. her father even went as far as to tell her of all the murders he had committed to not blues, no he didn't only murder blues, he murdered various citizens of hajnals either because of hatred or because they were unprosecuted  traitors. her father even told her the names of various witnesses that he had hid away from her grandfather. 

with the rumors of a potential new commander to replace her grandfather, she knew she had achieve the rank. that was the only way she would be able to serve her justice. she had to become commander. she knew what she was fighting for. she was fighting for her father. her baby sister. for those who were wrongfully killed in the middle of this dispute between the kingdoms. only those were truly committed sin should die. 

relationships.

  
king satan.
everett wolfe • 70 • ruthless, vengeful, stern, opinionated

her childhood respect and admiration for her grandfather has wilted over the years of her growing. he once was a powerful and respectful man, but the more she saw him, talked about him and watched him, he became nothing but a power hungry, ruthless and judgemental traditionalist man. she still has a tendency to bow down to his power, but she is quickly learning that he is struggling with commanding and everyday life due to his old age and is taking full advantage of his declining lack of energy. it's an amazement that he is even still alive and she will see to it that he is gone soon. she does her best to avoid him at all costs and it's not too hard since he's staying at his own home or at the castle most of the time. 

    
father is that you?
leandro wolfe • 48 • charismatic, restrained, tolerant, cowardly

her father who she loves, pity and is angry at. she understands that he wanted to keep her and her sister safe, but to isolate himself when they need him, when pearle especially needed him, was a selfish thing to do. since the confession to beda he has become more talkative and more involved in his daughter's lives. he's trying his best to make up for the lost time.

  
my world, my love, my achilles heel.
pearle wolfe • 11 • cheerful, helpful, outspoken, gullible

pearle is the reason beda continues what she does. her baby sister, who no longer is much of a baby in all honesty, but she is too pure for this world. pearle never fails to brighten's beda's day no matter how tiring or horrible it was. she adores her sister so much, she is willing to die for her. 

  
a blur of a memory.
zeva blackburn • deceased • benevolent, clever, tolerate

beda's mother. a person beda wished she tried harder to maintain the memories of. she's grateful that she even has memories with her mother because she knows pearle would love to have known her. her mother was a caring person, someone who would give the dress off herself to a girl in need. she hopes to one day be able to be as benevolent as her mother once was. she misses her mother dearly and swears on her life that she will give her the justice her mother deserves. 

  
my other half. my best friend.
liam ashworth • 26 • supportive, wise, benevolent, flamboyant

beda's first sparring partner, a general from a nobel family as well. although he is two years older, beda and liam behave as if they are the same age friends. joking and having  good time while being able to be serious when either of them need to rant or even cry. beda considers him family and is the only friend she trusts with all her secrets, concerns and personal life. beda doesn't know what she would do without him. she sees him as a brother mostly. liam on the other hand, as a deep crush on beda. he is honored to be considered her best friend and is scared to confess. he doesn't want to lose her. he's doing everything he can to help her become commander to take revenge for her mother. until he can find the perfect time to confess his feelings, being best friends will suffice for him.

  
my king. my secret crush?
kalum marcus bellerose • 24 • alluring, righteous, deceitful, indecisive

beda and kalum have met various time when they were children. usually meeting when her grandfather would meet his with father and she went along. beda began her training a few months before kalum had, yet the two struggled with finding a winner in their sparring matches as both were almost equally naturally talented. as they grew their sparring matches continued occasionally. reaching their teens their sparring matches became nonexistent as kalum as beginning to focus more on his work as king and beda focused intensely on climbing the ranks of the military. beda was in the talks of becoming kalum's personal gaurd, but many refused to allow that to happen as they believed the king's personal gaurd should remain a male.

now that beda is a general and kalum is a king, they often meet in military related meetings with all the generals and advisor, and very little personal exchange is done between these meetings. occasionally they two are the last to linger and small chatter is exchanged between the two. sometimes when the king is up for it, he will call for her and they'll have light sparring matches with casual conversations. over the years of sparring, beda has grown more open with kalum especially because he likes to question her nonstop until he gets an answer he's satisfied with. her personal life revolving around her family is known, though it's almost public knowledge considering her ancestory. her reason for fighting for protecting her little sister is known, but her secret agenda of finding justice for her mom is still a secret. kalum also calls upon beda when needs new views and honest opinions about potential war tactics, he will call her for private meetings as well either in his office or on a horseback ride. 

there is a mutual comfortableness and trust in each other, mostly due to how long they have "known" each other. kalum knows that if he needs honest opinions about anything related to war or fighting, beda is the one to go to. plus, she is one of the few that can give him a slight challenge in sparring. he finds her secretive nature alluring as he wants to really know what she really is like outside of her military general front. he wants her to be open with him, willing to share all her secrets, thoughts, fears and more with him. her confidence and charisma when it comes to leading her men, is also appealing to him. beda is still a nut that he needs to fully crack.



beda on the other hand has had a long time crush on kalum. she can't pinpoint exactly when her crush began, but it's there. however, she has heard various rumors of him being a player and she can't say that that doesn't intimidate her because it does intimidate her. also having had zero romantic knowledge or experience doesn't help her either. in the end beda decided to just push her crush into the very back of her heart. she is after all, just a general. she's not of royal blood and although she is a noble, he probably just sees her as a rough female in hajnal's military. she's not girly and has no experience. plus, she has more important things to deal with, such as the possibility of war, than a romance possibility because of a teenage crush. she does however, secretly love it when he calls for her even if it has to do with military matters because she feels special that he values her opinions. 

   
she doesn't belong.
ailey alethia hart • 22 • friendly, carefree, curious, unlady like • collab with spontaneity

from the moment beda set eyes on ailey, she knew something was fishy. it had very little to do with ailey and king kalum being close (though it did have to do a bit with it since beda has a crush on kalum), but it mostly had everything to do with the gut feeling beda had. when her gut tells her something is off, something is off. after tailing the girl around for who knows how long, beda finally witnessed the very thing her gut was telling her. she had caught ailey healing someone. she was a blue. a blue that kalum has brought into his very own kingdom. a blue that probably had the intentions of breaking hajnal from the core out. now that she had her evidence, it was time to get king kalum to wake up and realize he had a spy in the castle all along and beda was not going to stop until he realized this. her secret traps and plans to get king kalum to realize who ailey was, were going well, though king kalum seemed denser than usual. her traps and plans however quickly came to a halt once pearle pointed ailey out in a crowd. her sister then claimed ailey had healed when she was sick with small pox, beda could not believe it. pearle had come down with a case of small pox, that she had contracted from a child at school, and all the doctors had little insight in how to treat it. beda had simply believed that her sister overcoming the disease was nothing but a miracle. knowing that ailey had helped saved her sister made the hate for the girl disappear. for now, this blue will be bearable.

wiith rumors of the two kingdoms actually going to war, beda learns that kalum has been planning on using ailey as leverage to get aequor to bow all this time. he had known all along that she was a blue. finding pity in the girl for succumbing to the king's seductive and deceitful ways, and also feeling as if she owes ailey something in return for saving pearle, beda decides to help ailey. first informing of her king kalum's plan and eventually also helping ailey escape before kalum can put his plan into action. 

over the course of time, beda had learned to appreciate her easy going and friendly nature. not to mention her not giving a damn about what others think. in a way beda wishes she would have the balls to just not care and have the balls to just do whatever she wanted. always chained by her fear of disappointment from her grandfather, beda had always been tied to doing things she never wanted to do in the first place.

beda flashed a fake smile while nodding her head as she sat down. "of course. just another service of duty for the kingdom of hajnal." 

beda her lips, eyeing the interviewer wondering if he had asked this question as a trick question. despite her suspicions she clasped her hands in her lap and answered the question without further hesitation, "queen aveline, is a ruthless ruler who's nothing like her mother. that being said, it is hard to tell if we should take her seriously or not. in terms of warfare of course. if she's ruthless in killing people, will she be ruthless if war is to come? does she really know what she's doing or will she just cause chaos? i digress, but we can't underestimate her. a ruthless queen." beda paused and took a breath before continuing, "as for king kalum, he has my loyalty and trust for being king. he's a righteous man who will do what's best for the kingdom. there are rumors around, but who is to tall ill of the king?" 

beda took a breath and a few seconds to think of a response. after some consideration she spoke, "as for king kalum, i believe his appeal to the older citizens of hajnal could be better. the gossip around king kalum is apparent, especially considering his age because many continue to feel that he is too young for the throne, especially without a mother or father to guide him. once the hearts of the older generations are settled, there will be questioning or disagreements with his actions and future actions. once there are no questions nor disagreements, there is no fear for potential riots." 

beda couldn't help but chuckle hearing the question. of course the questions would be vague and basic, but she expected more effort in personalization of questions. "considering that you're speaking with a general, if we are to hypothetically go to war with aequor, i'll be on the battle field. my loyalty is with hajnal and i'll be sending my troops out as well as fighting along side them until we achieve victory." beda nodded and flashed a cocky smiled. "of course we'll be victorious. you're wrong to think other wise. but as for how it would affect my life, it'll finally put my life time of training to work."  beda her lips in deep thought before she cautiously answered, "if this hypothetical war was to happen, i must ask, who here actually likes losing loved ones and resources to war?"

"if there are traitors they've been marked for take down already. loyalty to king kalum and the kingdom is top priority and if one's loyalty does not align it must be eliminated." beda answered firmly.

"the pleasure is mine. now have a nice evening yourself. glory to our kingdom and long live the king." beda flashed another smile as she stood up before swiftly exiting the room.
