First Name: Jaidyn
Last Name: Ashford

Appearance:
Jaidyn epitomizes typical human beauty, and would otherwise appear as much were it not for her silver eyes and unnatural fiery short red hair that gives away her Aasimar descent. Often clad in layers of steel armor, her toned body is frequently concealed from those who would objectify it. Her light and fair skin has a soft glow to it, enough to act as a light source that is otherwise not noticeable when it's not completely dark.
Race: Aasimar, with Justice-Archon ancestry
Age: 20
Height 6'0
Weight: 180 lbs.
Eyes: Silver
Hair: Short, fiery orange.

Personality Profile:
Her personality is perhaps disappointingly typical for most Aasimars, yet alone a paladin of Ilmater to whom she is fervently devoted. Jaidyn possesses a charismatic personality yet humble aura, and she is slow to speak in most situations preferring instead to listen and learn from others. However, she will not hesitate to speak and act in defense of anyone suffering or otherwise oppressed. She is not without her flaws, of course, and has little patience for those who would ignore the pain of others regardless of intent. To her, anyone who does nothing in defense of good are as guilty as those who perpetrate evil. This often results in conflict with the neutrally aligned, particularly with those in power such as government officials who do nothing to help their populace even if it's without malice.
General Health: Fit, overall healthy.
Deity: Ilmater
Initial Alignment: Lawful Good
Profession: Paladin
Base Class & Proposed Development: Paladin, Divine Champion hopeful
Habits/Hobbies: Meditation, prayer,
Languages: Common, Celestial
Weapon of Choice: Hammer & shield

Background: Jaidyn grew up an orphan within the Church of Ilmater, having been left in the care of a priestess shortly after birth. Her mother, a young mortal human, died in childbirth leaving an equally young father of aasimar descent feeling unable to care for her. A devotee of Ilmater himself, it would be a monk who convinces him to leave Jaidyn in the care of the church.
Goals: To further the cause of good by fighting evil and suffering across Faerun. To embody the virtues and values of her deity, Ilmater, and spread its message of compassion. To defend the innocent and helpless.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
- She does not know much of her blood family, or heritage, other than that she is of celestial descent.
- She decided to pursue the path of the paladin after attempting to defend a young boy from a group of bullies and being hospitalized.
