Xaethir Gwyn
Hailing from Meridas and rasied in a pseudo-noble military family, Xaethir lived most of her life rigorously training for the position she was born into. The country of Meridas at the time was deep in a resource war with their neighbor, Ariandas, spurned on by a belief of superiority and entitlement, as well as a need to feed a growing population. The War lasted decades, periods of cold war intersperced with violent conflicts. Xaethir didn't enter active duty until the war was long raging, but her prowess was notable even among the higher caste she was a part of, and she was quickly elevated to Commander position, and given leadership of a large regiment.
Xaethir was a few years into her command when she first met Reide Dryer, an opposing soldier. Fighting to a standstill while their comrades fought around them, the two broke away and agreed to retreat and regroup. The two continued to clash on the battlefield, one barely gaining advantage over the other each time with varying results. Their clashes eventually became meetings instead of fights, and became a repreive from the violence of their respective lives.
After half a decade of fighting, Xaethir was selected for a diplomatic mission. Representatives were selected from neighboring nations, including Ariandas, to investigate happenings that would affect the world. An armistice was called for 6 months, and specific restrictions were imposed on the traveling party to ensure cooperation and hopefully success. Among those chosen to represent their countries was Reide. As they and the others embark on their mission, Reide and Xaethir grow closer, and Xaethir learns more of the world outside Meridas and the battlefields of Ariandas.
After the successful conclusion of their mission, just before the end of the armistace, Xaethir receives a set of orders. Acting directly against these commands, Xaethir saves Reide's life from an assassination attempt. This lends Xaethir herself favor, and prevents an immediate eruption of conflict, but shows Meridas's hand at an intention of continued war. She attempts to return home, intent on collecting what she's able of her life before word of her insubordination reaches the area and she's collected for punishment. She's intercepted on the way, and in the process of being escorted to the capitol for a trial when the caravan is ambushed by Reide and a small troop of soldiers. Xaethir is rescued by Reide, and escorted into Ariandas as a valuable defector. Xaethir's in-depth knowledge of the tactics and plans of Meridas were hesitanty given, and proved pivitol to Ariandas finally gaining the upper hand needed to definitevely conclude the war in their favor, and she settled into Ariandas society to help in the rebuilding efforts, advise on diplomatic relations between the former enemies, and continue to grow her relationship with Reide.
A handful of years passed as things settled, and peace grew. By the time the border cities were rebuilt, the two officially married and settled in the south, on a large plot of land, far from the scars the war left on the land.
