Stain

Introduction
Stain is one of the first members of the Kingslayers. She was recruited by Ajax in her darkest hour. She joined the Kingslayers not out of any drive to clear her name, or to become a perfect knight like she use to. No she joined because she had nothing else to do in her life. Everything she ever cared about is dead, and everything she ever tried to do has failed. Stain fights because that is all she knows, and she does not want to see another dead group of warriors.

Appearance
Stain stands five feet and ten inches tall. She wears a gampeson, mail, and a surcoat with the mark of grima over it. She carries around a arming sword and a shield. She has long dark pink hair and blue eyes.

Personality
Stain is best described as broken. She had purpose, love, and respect. Everything one can ask for in life. All of it was taken away in a brutal battle. A repeat of her entire life. At this point Stain does not care much about anything. She does not have a favorite food, color, or even weather. Everything is ok for her. Despite her depression there are some things that do affect Stain to her core. For starters she wants to be the beast knight in the world. She says she does not care about it, but in truth she does. Deep down inside of her it is programmed into her. Her depression stems from her constant failures along with other things. As a result she gives her everything to the Kingslayers despite the fact that she "Does not Care".

Stain has a hurt and soft spot for babies. She looks at babies and it reminds her of her own little girl. The little girl she lost. She will go out of her way to help mothers with small children, but at the same time she does not like to look at them. She also has a soft spot for religious men and fathers. They remind her of her husband Atlas. She often thinks about Atlas and draws little pictures of him in the sand.

After Chapter 3 Stain has accepted Bow as her sister. She also lost the mark of Nold. Without it she feels a bit more free and starts to let go of the past. She laughs more and her and Bow joke around with each other more. She has also become a protective older sister. She even goes as far as to threaten Angel Viskar who she thinks is trying to make a move on her little sister.

Backstory
Stain is another one of the great wizard and potion master Maxwell's creations. Twenty two years ago a knight came into Maxwell's potion shop demanding his strongest potions.The two got into a argument and at the end of the argument Maxwell declared that his potions could do anything better than a knight could. The knight took him up on that challenge and and told him that he had to use a potion to defeat a group of bandits that were camped out on a steep hill. Maxwell's response was to create Stain using nothing but his alchemy. Stain whipped out the bandits and Mazwell melted the knight into a pool of goo before he could report his creation. After that Mazell left, leaving Stain alone.

Stain was born with the idea that she is suppose to be the greatest "Knight" to ever live. Seeking that goal after being abandoned by Mazwell she began to travel the world seeking the answer to the question of what is a true knight. Asking around and watching other knights she determined that Knights were simple killers in service to someone else. As a result Stain put herself into the service of Stone, a notorious bandit lord. She spent ten years serving as his sword and shield attempting to be the best knight she could be. Her oath came to a end however when the bandit camp was destroyed while she was out pillaging. Unsure of what happen Stain moved on to find a new lord to pledge herself to.

Stain travel the nation till she ran into another would be warlord by the name of Agamemnon. She served under him till the day they raided a little village of Arc. There they pillaged and burnt the village. A young girl They took several people to be sold as slaves. A young girl in the village asked Stain how she could be a part of this. Stain responded that she was simply a knight doing her knightly duty. The little girl spat at her and told her she was no knight, and that knights were more than simple followers. Stain began to think on the girls words when the brigands were set upon by a group of knights. Stain fought bravely till the end, but the battle ended in defeat. She was knocked unconscious during the fight by a charging horse and was thought to be dead.

The next day Stain climbed from a pile of burning corpses. Being a dark morph stain had a bit of resistance to the flames ans she was lucky enough to be close to the to of the pile not to be crushed. Half dead and dehydrated she crawled her way from the battlefield. She passed out in the grass and was found by a kind monk by the name of Atlas. Atlas nursed her back to health from her wounds. As she recovered she asked him the most important question of her life. "What does it mean to be a knight?" She spent two years with Atlas. She discovered tales, upon tales about knights. The good, the bad, and the ones in between. Atlas taught her how to read, write, and even how to cook. The two became fast friends till the villagers attacked.

Atlas, was Grimleal, and he was preaching the faith of Grima. He had come to Elon fleeing persecution in Plegia. When word of his preaching got around several other immigrants of Ylisse formed a war band and moved to eliminate him before his foul religion could spread. That war band attacked the abbey. Despite being caught off guard the two put up one hell of a fight. Their home was destroyed, but the two got away with their lives. It was after this event that Stain found he true calling. She dedicated herself to becoming a Knight of Grima and to protect Atlas from harm while he preached the faith.

Paladin Stain, is what she called herself for the next nine years. She served as Atlas shield. Time and time again people came after Atlas and his growing flock, but time and time again she, and others repelled their attacks. At the time Stain had gained some renown for her skill and her beauty. Her relationship with Atlas was well known as well. The two had grown close in those nine years and even had a child by the name of Calypso. Life was good, but like all things in Stain's life her terrible luck came into play.

One day while repelling a group of thieves the Signet of Nold appeared on her hand. The appearance was flashy as it denigrated the mark of grima she had branded on her hand in a flash of light. The flash attracted people, the mark made them stare. Word got around that the Church of Grima was connected to the death of the King. Hearing the name of Stain and the description of the women the Knight Themis gathered her men and rode out. The mounted knights fell on them with the furry of tempus.

During the battle Stain had sent Atlas way with their daughter. He was the bishop of their faith. If he lived the Grimleal lived. Stain fought with the furry of of a wildfire. Her blade cut both horse and man flesh apart. However the knights were to well trained and numerous. Their horse ran the Grimleal down, and their spears pierced their hearts. Attempting to take away their cavalry advantage Stain ordered some of her men to retreat to the rock mountainous areas. To their horror however the Knights had come in with a unit of Baels that ripped them apart with their mandibles and poisonous legs.

With the Grimleal on the verge of defeat Stain pressed to cut a hole in the enemy lines. If she could save some of her people, she thought. It was then that Themis presented herself. Clad in the thickest of armors and wielding a lance of steel she singled out the Knight of Grima. Removing her helmet she announced herself Themis of Arc. Revealing herself as the little girl from so long ago. Charging on her mighty war horse Stain stood no chance. The maiden ran her down, and knocked her to the stone. She then dismoutned and dragged her across the battlefield. Tossing water on her to wake her Themis showed her the bloody body of Atlas filled to the brim with arrows. Stain screamed in horror.

Satisfied with her vengeance Themis attempted to run Stain thought. However her vengeance was cut short by the screams of her own men. Turning she laid eyes to a unspeakable horror. A giant, covered in steel. With a single throw the giant sent what look like a tree trunk flying toward her. The knight raised her shield and was thrown off the cliff by the throw. Her men attempted to avenge their commander and charged the beast. That resulted in them being slaughtered one by one as the giant skewered both them and their horses.

Despite being rescued Stain had no words to spear to the giant. She had only tears and loss. The giant, seeing the mark on her hand, picked her up and carried her off. He brought her to a young man in black armor, and explained the scene to him. That young man offered Stain a position in his group as a member of the Kingslayers.
