This is Tlara, a character in a big long epic I intend to produce someday.

The epic is entitled One Last Hope. In it, Tlara has been raised since childhood to be a gladiator. A lifetime of combat has left her emotionless-- a living killing machine, with virtually no thought of her own beyond surviving and defeating her next opponent.

Through a series of circumstances that would take too long to explain here, Tlara finds herself owned by Ryan-M'n, son of the Empress Lura-M'n, who is currently held captive by a band of rebels, one of which is Tlara's elder sister...


Sounds complicated, eh? Well-- it is...
