Clothing Style

Chiko tends to dress in a practical but refined style that does not impede her movements as a spellcaster and fencer. Her common outfit consists of an ivory tunic with reddish-orange trim, matching red-orange pants, boots, gloves, and a hat. The hat has a ribbon around it along with a fabric poppy pinned to it. Chiko also wears a belt for her rapier sheath and often carries a satchel for her belongings while traveling. When wearing other outfits, she tends to prefer the red-orange poppy color and ivory, but she also likes other shades of red and orange along with black, white, or sometimes gold.

Personality

Chiko is a confident and somewhat aloof mercenary with unusual motives and a severe disdain for Imperials. She is known to be an exceedingly skilled mercenary who is rather picky about which jobs she will accept, but her performance has given her quite a noteworthy reputation. Although she gives off a rather serious and distant demeanor, those who have observed her work enough know she has a heart for vulnerable people and will go out of her way to help those most in need, with or without payment. Chiko does not speak about herself much, so it is difficult to say just what kind of person she is or what drives her, but it's clear that she works either for good pay or for those who can't help themselves, especially when such people are displaced or oppressed by Imperials. Not much is known about her outside of work other than her having a fondness for children, being well liked by various local tailors, and her reputation for seducing ladies when she passes through towns.

Backstory

Chiko doesn't speak much of her past, but she is a mercenary from Ulieam who is skilled in both swordplay and magic. She has a reputation as well performing mercenary who is rather aloof and somewhat elusive to hire. She seems to take only very particular jobs, although her exact criteria is not known other than she has a pattern of sometimes accepting very well paying job and then sometimes very humble jobs for people struggling amidst the Imperial reign. It's obvious Chiko has no regard for Imperials, and this becomes ever clearer when she inadvertently gains a follower in her travels. 

A boy named Conrad has taken to tagging along with her after being displaced by the Empire, and Chiko ended up warming up to him as they traveled together for about a year. Unfortunately an Imperial attack in a town they had stopped in separated them, and Chiko has been seeking Conrad out ever since. She's not entirely sure why, but Conrad apparently has something or some kind of skill that the Empire desires from him, which is why he was on the run in the first place. Regardless of what the reasoning is, Chiko knows she has to find him before they do.
