Version 0.3 Mistress Reveal - Liora
Added 2021-09-05 17:05:23 +0000 UTCWith Maeve's now complete introduction, comes the revelation of the Mistress for the next version - Liora, the Black Rose.
She is the result of the 'French Duelist' option winning in the previous poll. Polls for 0.4 have just opened up - and remember, you can submit your own poll ideas to me either here or on Discord for their inclusion.
Very excited to design a unique, "Three Dimensional" experience in her encounter, where you will be able to maneuver around her garden, parry, riposte, and stay out of a number of duelist patterns she will weave.
Please enjoy this little character blurb about her, and perhaps some of her motivations.
After it's forced annexation into Checily, the province of Laisonne could breathe only one single tenet: Ambition.
And of the Laisonnaise ambition, there is no more distinctive Gladiatrix than Liara to have taken this tenet and moulded it into her own.
As Laisonne scrambled to emulate the gynarchic Viollan culture, Liara moved to the great city itself to show that she would do them one better.
Where the Viollan women patiently gives their boys time to adapt, Liara has twisted their re-education into an avant-garde exposition of her talent.
She handles her rapier with the meticulousness of an artist but the power of a champion - weaving to, fro, behind and above until her foe lay prostrate - ensnared below.
For each defeat granted, her students earn a black rose - and for those who can beat her, it's yet to be seen.
For Liara, the sword will be mightier than the pen until the right boy proves worthy of her signature
