I fight to be free, and to have my own Fate

by Jezebel Night

This is a story about girl who is left by her parents to The Steward of Gondor, who wants to punish her for her parents mistakes. As a child she runs away with Dillon, her best friend, and both escape Gondor. And now, at the age of 16, she and her band of "Shadows" are ready to take on the world. When the ring awakens, so is a secret in her blood. BTW, I suck at summaries. ;-)

1. Info

Main Character: Cara, daughter of Branna and Mordred

Age: 16

Backround: Ran away from her home in Minus Tirith, the night her parents betrayed the Steward of Gondor. They released certain information to a group of the Steward's enemies, and helped them escape when he found out. Her parents ran with them, leaving Cara behind to take The Steward's punshiment. She ran from her home and to her friend Dillon, who lived so close they were almost neighbors. He helped her escape, coming with her to ensure her safety. She was only 7 when this tragedy happened, and soon after she found refuge in the woods. Within a fort night Dillon recieved word that he was banished for his involvement in helping Cara escape. Soon after they ran into a band of elves outside of the city of Rivendale. They were trained by the elves in fighting and language, and was soon introduced to Lord Elron. He saw something in her that Cara never realized was there before, and that was a burning secret waiting to be revealed to her. They stayed for a year before running back into the world, leaving behind their Elvish allies.

The Group: Legends of shadows walking through forests were started by Cara and her future allies. A small, yet effective, group of "rangers" were started by Dillon and herself consisting of 5 others. Siobhan and Claire were sisters, Siobhan 18 and Claire 24, and then there was Davin, Finn, and Liam. The three of them were good strong men that like to have a good time. Davin is 20, the youngest out of the three,and is by far the wisest. Finn, 22, isn't very bright but is innocent and true to his heart. Liam, 24, is the darkest out of the whole group. He has troublekeeping his hands to himself, but is good in a fight nonetheless.

Looks: Siobhan and Claire share the same bonde hair and pale skin, both tall and willowy. Despite their age difference, they are almost twins. They have different eye colors, Siobhan has brown eyes while Claire has gray eyes with purple flecks. Davin has dark brown hair, light scars adorning his neck and cheek. He has startling green eyes. Finn has brown hair as well, with light green eyes, and a birthmark on his forehead in the shape of a dragon. Liam has black hair and gray eyes, he has toned muscles everywhere and is astonishingly well fit for the period. He's not the fastest runner, but has stamina to pick up for it. Dillon has black hair as well, though in the sun bits of red shine through. He has deep blue eyes, with hints of green. Cara has deep auburn hair, and shocking blue eyes. Much like Frodo's, aside from being a little darker.

Fighting Skills: Siobhan, smart and cunning. Very decisive in a battle and prefers to use small daggers and her bow, same with Claire. The only difference is Claire is a bit more reckless in battle. Davin and Finn work as a team, both prefer to use swords and axes then bows and daggers. Liam is a man meant to be a dwarf, at least in fighting style that is. He uses a blunt ax and rarely uses a bow, when he loses his ax he'll either pull out another one or use is sword when he's tired of fighting. He's absolutely lethal with a sword. Dillon is better at archery than he is at close combat, he uses his bow nonstop, stabbing people with arrows. He only uses swords as a last resort. Cara is very fluid, knows when to duck, knows when to run, and just about everything in battle. She can predict just about every move in battle, and prefers usuing swords and her own body.

Cara will soon have a difficult choice placed in front of her. When the ring awakens to power, she'll feel the change in the winds, the change in her group. When the Fellowship is made, she'll have to choose her path. Why? Because Cara is no ordinary farmer's daughter from Minus Tirith, she is the daughter of a warrior and not only that. She is an heir to the throne of a place that used to be a Kingdom, now belonging to Gondor, which means simply this. If the Future King of Gondor, Aragorn, refuses the throne by the time she becomes of age, she will be named Queen. If he does become King, she will be his successor. But much like Aragorn, she refuses to accept this path, and not because she is banished from Gondor. She has a warriors heart, and could never stand being trapped inside a castle, responsible for the care and well being of people when she can barely take care of herself.

This is a story I can't wait to write, please message and rate if you want this to continue! Sorry for the shortness!
