Reponse du Valois
Current Month: Julwar 2nd: 209, The Fifth Age
Mademoiselle de Guerre Reponse , du Valois
Reponse was born in 290 Fourth Age and grew up as a humble and devoutly religious shepherdess in Orleons. In 309 Fourth Age, a Sundered Horde invaded, besieged the city of Carcason and slew King Louis the Bold as he fought in its defense.
The Sundered soon spread out across the land, burning and destroying. Everywhere knights were hacked down as they defied impossible odds. At this dark moment, amid the smoking ruins of her own village, Reponse saw the Lady Harmony.
Harmony appeared to speak, telling her to rid the land of these invading forces. Inspired by her vision, Reponse donned armor that she found on a slain knight and grabbed the reins of a terrified warhorse which was running loose.
She broke open the reliquary of the village chapel and took up the ancient sword she found within it. She then rode forth to rally the disheartened Knights of Orleons.
During the events of The Second Fall, Reponse fell to the Sundered as she single-handedly defended a small pass up the mountainside, giving her life in defense of the defenseless. However, as she began to pass through the Judging Eye, she saw a brilliant light, the light of the Clarion. As she pressed it to her lips, a thunderous roar erupted, and thus was the first Clarion Knight created. Revived and now resplendent in divine light, she continued to assail the Sundered until their defeat.

When the retreating knights saw a mere damsel bravely setting off to do battle with the mighty Sunderedtide, and one who was undoubtedly favored by the Creators, they were shamed and felt honor-bound to follow her to death or glory. While the ramparts of Carcason were cracking under the impact of the Sundered's barrages, word was brought of a new Marjolesian army approaching fast and trampling beneath their hooves any dark foe in their path.
As the great doors were about to give way, the sword of the Mademoiselle appeared leading a great host of knights arrayed in a single lancehead formation. They cleft their way through the Sundered ranks shattering the ruinous army until Reponse was face to face with a Sundered-clast in all its terrible glory.
The Sundered-clast was momentarily dazzled by Reponse's radiant aura, and she shattered it with a single sword stroke. Carcason was saved and the remnants of the enemy were pursued to the sea and justly put to death. In gratitude, King Jon the Younger of Marjolais bestowed upon Reponse not only all the honors of knighthood but also the Dukedom of Orleons.

In The Fifth Age, the Mademoiselle de Guerre has done much to defend the weak, but now she finds herself drawn to a small town in the middle of nowhere, seeing something truly good in its infancy... Her name before she became a Clarion Knight was Reponse du Orleon. However, when her village was destroyed, it was changed to reflect her more recent residence.
