Ressa is a [Head Maid] in service of Lady Magnolia Reinhart.

Appearance

Ressa is a tall woman dressed in a sombre black dress. She is beautiful, almost inhumanly so, but also stern and imposing, making her appear like the head matron or schoolmistress out of some old children’s book.

She may pin her hair back.

Personality

Ressa carries a strict, professional demeanor at all times, whether it is admonishing her staff for doing their jobs improperly or taking out [Assassins] with throwing knives. She has a close relationship with Magnolia that goes beyond their [Maid]-[Lady] relationship, and is witness to her employer's various quirks and idiosyncrasies. She is highly protective of Magnolia and won't hesitate to use lethal force if necessary to protect her [Lady].

Background

At at one point in the past she was being called by a bunch of names, but none of them ever stuck perfectly. One of the was; The Unstoppable Woman, after the time she was tossed off a mountain and climbed back up in the middle of a storm with a dagger in her teeth, and attacked an entire camp head on.
