Eponin

She’d always been a fighter. Ever since she was young, even before she joined the Amazons, Eponin had been passionate about fighting. She learned what she could from teachers, and when they could teach her no more, she taught herself. She learned how to fight with tooth and claw, with sword and staff, with ever weapon she could find. Modern ones, made by dragons for dragon kind; ancient ones, made by the ancients with their strange claws; even ones bearing the mark of the beastclan, she figured out how to master.

And when the Amazons gave her the option to travel and learn more, she quickly and happily joined them.

It was the best choice of her life, because besides knowledge, friendship, and a sisterhood, she found her love and gained a wife: Solari.

She was loyal to the Amazons, in all the forms it took- under Cyan, under Terreis, when they all decided to settle and become the Queen’s Guard after Amarice's injury and healing. She just wanted to keep her family together, and so was willing to do what everyone thought best, so long as she could stay with them and Solari. She was happy- the clan had a forge and a blacksmith, a large dragon named Hephaestus, who took her under his wing, teaching her how to forge her own weapons. She made news ones as she learned, becoming more and more skilled with each day, creating masterpieces of beauty and death alike.

She still got to fight, took up training besides the other teachers in the ludus, and found that teaching suited her. She even taught Princess Gabrielle how to fight, despite Batiatus’ protests (but he got over it soon enough, when the Queen offered him bigger fish to train, real warriors who wanted to learn how to fight, not the little Princess who was only learning because she had to).

She was happy, and for her? That was enough.
