“I will never be the woman whose shoes I was born to fill. I will be far greater.”
96182
{ KEY INFORMATION }

True Name: Adelheid von Hallon
Variant of Adalheidis, meaning ‘noble.’
Hallon coming from the ancient westrons, a family of warlords and politicians, ruling house of the Empire of Anhald.
Nicknames: Jo, Adel, Adelaide

Alias: Johanna Fischer- a well-kept guise that most people still know her by. She introduces herself simply as "Johanna" to all that may ask.

Meaning 'God is gracious.' A variant of the alias her father took, Johan- although that was unknown to her until recently. "I suppose it all had to come in full circle."
Titles: They are fragments of a past life that has been all but forgotten.
Princess of Anhald, Acturus, and Lavoyarde
Lady of House Hallon
Pretender to the Throne
Fallen Royalty

Age: Around twenty-four.
Gender: Female.
Race: Human
Culture: Northerner, Anhalder.
Social Status: Supposedly of noble blood.
Height: 5’8”
Weight: Around 150 lbs.

Homeland: The North. Wellenbrecher.
Current Home: Wandering.
Wealth: Dwindling.


Status: Battling with her own conscience about her identity; her name, her purpose, and her place in the world. She has grown cold and distant with others and drawn within herself after an attempt on her life was made. She refuses to take her birth name but knows that keeping her alias, Johanna Fischer, is a battle that cannot be won. With either identity comes downfalls and struggle, things that she is not yet ready to face fully in light of her past. For now, she introduces herself as simply "Johanna" to all that ask.

Accent: Well-masked Northern (Rede) accent. Think light German accent that comes out more when she shouts or is put in a stressful situation.

⇴ || A scar along her forearm, around five inches long; earned in an assassination attempt.

{ RELATIONS }

FAMILY--
Albrecht von Hallon (Father): "Truly, father, I always felt that I failed you. My birth was the worst day of your life, when it should have been the greatest. I was your firstborn. I wanted you to love me more than anything, but alas. I was born with the curse of womanhood." Secretly, she is glad of his passing. She never wanted to face him again on this plane of existence.
Josephine Varyn (Mother): "I try not to dwell on my memories of you. I am not whether you were distant or hated me or both. I won't disappoint you." She had once wished to see her mother just once more, to show her the woman that she had become, but it was never to be.
Sigmund von Hallon (Brother): She has not seen him in a long time, but holds no grudge against him for being born and sending her life spiraling. She hopes that he is nothing like their parents.
James Varyn (Cousin): She has not seen the man in quite some time. { TheDeester }
CHERISHED--
RESPECTED--
LIKED--
Gael (Trouble)​
he is more honest than most knights she has met- then again, she hasn't met many. She wonders what caused such a rift between him and the Kanes, and she wonders if he knew her parents. She has not seen him in quite some time and is unaware of his death. { Scardrac }​
NEUTRAL--
Jaden (Ranger)​
she prefers him to his counterparts but knows very little about him. He seems to have an almost... Childish and spontaneous side to him that makes her slightly wary. { CloakedReaper }​
Otto (Loyal)​
he owes her a cloak. She respects his trust for Charles and thinks he is a decent kid. { Paint }​
Lisbet (Plain)​
she is a kind woman, Johanna thinks. She isn't sure if Lisbet is Charles' mistress or his servant- not that Johanna cares much. She appreciates having some sort of comforting company. { Elz }​
Raalvara Varyn (Emotional)​
she acts emotionally and does not check her husband when he crosses into uncomfortable territory. While she told James to let her go, she is still unsure of the woman and where her loyalties lie. "I can handle myself. I don't need you to protect me." { Raal }​
WARY--
DISLIKED--
ABHORRED--
Schmidt (Traitor)​
"I was right about you. If it took lying to you about my intentions to see how far you were willing to go, it was worth it. I know who you are now. I know what must be done." Johanna vows that she will one day kill this man, and by her own hand. { Boofenshmirtz }

I like your reference. I almost used her for Niah a couple times, but never committed. Kahlan is a good character and so is Johanna. :)

⇴ The Kane’s accuse her of lying about her parentage. She is fired from her work and leaves Queensport for Storm’s Landing.
wot. They said they didn't care who her parents were or weren't, and she took her wages and left.
