Flayne la Karrotte

Background

First and only daughter of Pascal Karrotte, the famed Carrot Knight, the once Chosen Knight of Temperance; Flayne has spent her entire childhood reading stories and legends of knights and chivalry. This has shaped her into who she is today; one who values and pursues honor and chivalry above all else, even her own survival, much to the dismay of her squire Sancha Gobzales. She will meddle with anyone's business if it so much as seems to, in her eyes, that the matter was not chivalrous enough. Raised in the noble house House Karrotte alongside her brothers Siegfried Karrotte and Lucien Karrotte, Flayne speaks in a very eloquent and flowery theatrical manner, causing many to have trouble understanding her sometimes. From her very competitive environment amongst her brothers, she developed an equally competitive mindset, making Flayne able to ruminate on a loss for days if not weeks, wondering how she may have done better.

Despite her skill in swimming, she has never been seen swimming in the ocean as its depths continue to try to pull her in.

Powers

Flayne is a very well-trained warrior; however, her biggest flaw is her lack of real combat experience. Though she is a lot stronger on horseback with a spear or with her lance in hand, she always opts for her trusty longsword instead because she feels the lance is not chivalrous enough. When wielding her sword, she's only on par with novice knights of a few Crown Seals, but whenever she's forced to wield her spear, she can actually rival the strength of a seasoned knight such as the Hunter Knight. Despite her skills, she has sworn to herself never to kill anyone, and to this day upheld this promise. With her father's coin at her disposal, she easily got her hands on a fancy full set of plate armor. Flayne's equipment was forged by a Deep Dwarf named Brimi Kindling, from hardened steel, Deep Iron, and laced with Mythril. It is durable enough to withstand most conventional firearms and weaponry, though it fails under the threat of specialized knight-slaying equipment, usually made with Adamantine. Pascal made it carrot-themed to advertise his house, like a mascot suit.

Flayne is an agile fighter, thus her armor does not serve her well, and she doesn't move efficiently when she's wearing it, but she does so anyway because she thinks it's very cool. Though her frame is small, she is incredibly durable; in fact, she is inhumanly so. As long as she is determined and feels just in her goals, she could suffer through even the most fatal of wounds, powered simply by sheer spirit. The source of her powers are unknown to most; however, it is rumored to originate from unknown bindings to Hope, giving her the ability to revive whenever she is killed, as long as her will holds strong. Whenever she dies, she'll awake in the Witch's realm with Hope waiting for her, instead of the realm of the dead. This is a highly protected secret by her father, that only Sancha and a few trusted people know of. Because of this, most if not all of the Chosen Knights who possess true sight are able to see that something is clearly wrong with her, and believe she needs to disappear. Only a few like Alexandra Athana, Gleeb, or Alessio Casian treat her respectfully.

Trivia

• Her old design was rather bulky and difficult to draw constantly, so Binkie opted for a skirt armor, serving as a more iconic silhouette.

• There are cases like her with every god.
