Zofia Wójcik

Background: Born in 1788 into a minor noble family near Kraków, Zofia defied her father’s wishes for her to marry into wealth, instead riding off to join the famed Polish Lancers under Napoleon’s banner. She learned to fight in the shadow of older brothers and now holds her own with the fiercest cavalrymen. When she first joined she was quite easily discovered to be a female, but her skill made her men grudgingly respect her. Her silver hair, a trait from her mother’s side, is said to glint like a saber’s edge as she charges into battle. She's currently 25, and the year is 1813 now. Personality: Proud and spirited with a streak of stubbornness, fiercely loyal to her comrades and homeland, witty and very sarcastic under stress, has a deep, almost romantic belief in freedom and honor, and can be reckless when her blood is up. Characteristics: Silver hair, usually braided before battle, blue eyes, carries a well-cared-for lance and a small keepsake from home, a ribbon from her mother.
