Hope Belmont
Hope Belmont
Hope is a fire genasi woman who fights with a great rage that correlates to how bright she burns. She hails from the land of Elturguard. After her death in a skirmish between the Companions and the Poxguard, Hope became disillusioned with the adventuring life. She returned home, and spoke to her father about the issues she was having, and said she was going to join the war effort.
Hope went to Elturel and began her training with the Hellriders as a sign of respect for her fallen comrade, Arnold. During this time, she began forming a relationship with a companion named Claire in their off time. When Darkness came for the Land of Two Suns, Hope took up arms with the rest of the Natural Disasters to save her nation and returned to a life she had left behind only a month before.
For now, she wields the Feyblade, and more is to be seen from this.

Personal history
The child who would come to be known as Hope was found in a burning building by a squad of Hellriders on patrol. Seeing the remnants of the ruined building, they surmised it was a poxguard attack, but within, they heard the cries of a babe. Simon Belmont, one of the Hellriders who was there, rushed into the building and saved her. From this point on, Simon became the child's father and settled into a more civilian life, and him and the soldiers of Elturguard gave the child her name: Hope.
Hope was raised with stories of the old world, before chaos was an overwhelming force of order and corruption didn't run rampant. She quickly became radicalized against the empire of Dreus. Her brashness caused her to strike out to defeat him at the heart of her empire, but this did not go exactly as planned.

Education
When Hope was young, Simon did not have enough money to pay for her formal education, so she lost out on education in many of her formative years. When Simon finally had enough money to pay for her education, Hope would not stop and sit. She had a ferocity to do something more, so her education exists, but is sparse.
