The former crown-princess of Alfsheim, as well as the heiress to the state of Astria, Peregrine Shannxi had her destiny was chosen for her by birth alone, two powerful bloodlines combined and coursing through her veins. Although the victim of sky-high expectations, she proved to be a capable fighter since she was old enough to walk, with a keen intellect and the ability to function well under intense pressure. The downside is that she can be a little full of herself and openly arrogant, the latter particularly towards other noble-warrior types whom she strives to prove herself against. Though her attitude is not unwarranted: she has the distinct reputation of being the greatest duelist on her continent, especially considering her legendary shield which can absorb and return magic as she desires, passed down from her mother's side. When fighting, her defensive, almost passive stance baits her enemies into acting rash, and at that moment she strikes, always allowing her foe to yield honorably. If the opportunity to save themselves is not taken, they get eaten, of course!
