Raera Fescerian

Fencing is for Midden what football and baseball are for the United States. It's an ancient sport, with simple basic rules, but dozens of variations and classes. Raera here is about to engage in a Style-Class match, where swordplay technique and point-jabs (where you mark your opponent without cutting them) are key. Points are awarded throughout the match, and the victor proceeds to the next bracket.

The pose that Miss Fescerian is striking at the moment is a traditional one, to show that she is currently without injury, and most importantly, not hiding any additional weaponry. This comes from the old duels and fencing matches, where the victor was decided by who was still breathing at the end of the round.

Raera favors the Jai-Hee school of fencing focusing on the use of the scabbard and hilt-ribbon to distract the opponent during combat.
