Biography:
From book to book on reading about warriors from the most beastly to the most elegant fighters, Avena was inspired at a young age to fight like them. She was given a gift from her father after hearing from the mother her interest in becoming a warrior. She practiced learning on how to wield the wooden sword from her father who was an infantryman for Noxus. He may not have been the most skilled, but if his daughter wanted to be a Noxian warrior, then he would let her do what she wanted.
On Avena’s 18th birthday, she was given a real sword to use for practice. She thanked her dad for such a wonderful gift. Day after day, she practiced with this sword none stop. After having lunch one day, she dressed in normal attire of jeans and a shirt and normal shoes. She grabbed her sword and walked outside. It was a quiet warm day, a Noxus beautiful day some would call it. She dashed over to a vacant training grounds where she thought was okay for civilians to use. She began her training on a dummy that had been beat enough to the point of multiple marks and slashes, which should have hinted to her that this place was still in use. She remembered reading where a normal warrior would hit and focused those pin points by hitting the same spot over and over until she got the hang of it.
Then one of the training warriors spotted her. He called to Avena and asked what she was doing and that she should not be here without permission. She exclaimed that she wanted to become strong like a warrior, she said in a bold voice. She wanted a reason to live, to fight for as it would be under the name of Noxus. The training warrior would study her closely. She did not have the build of a warrior, but her words sounded true. He would motion for her to come with him.
As she followed closely behind, still wielding her sword close to her, she found herself in front of the Captain of the Military Trainee’s. The Captain asked the state of business of the trainee. He quickly stated that he spotted this girl training in a training area without permission and that when she spoke of her wanting to join the Noxus ranks. The captain asked for her name and she quickly responded without delay. Mentioning of her father, she should be proud. He asked if her words were true and would she be willing to leave home to train with other trainee’s. She answered both yes and he asked that she were to gather all of her belongings. She would have her own room and breakfast, lunch and dinner were at set times, if she were to miss them, she would not eat until the next meal time.
Having been away from home for four years now as she is now 22 years of age, she still had one more year of training. She felt ready for the next training assignment the Captain would provide. The captain came out holding a note in hand. Everyone stood as he made the announcement for training today, she wasn’t on the list, but he had her come with him.
He spoke briefly to her about her dad, that he was close to becoming a patrol Sargent of Noxus. After giving a short story about her fathers past, from the day he first joined which was exactly twenty two years and 6 months ago, he revealed he had died in a fight due to Bandits trying to rob one of the local banks, he was a brave man and had one weak point and that was turning away before making sure that the enemy was fully dead as a knife struck him in the in the neck, a vital point. She nodded in regards and asked how her mother was doing about her fathers death. He told her to continue her training and they will provide for her and her mother. This gave Avena reason to live and to fight for Noxus. She never once missed her training since because the day he died on was her 22nd birthday, March 12th.
Long-Term Goal: To become a General in a nation.
