You understand wealth, power, and privilege but you turned your back on that world. You carried a royal title but you left it and the trappings of the court behind. Your family ruled but you rebelled. You found your true self on the battlefield, surrounded by chaos and death, not by false friends and sycophants.

You are a warrior princess.

Work with your DM to come up with an appropriate reputation. Are you a hero to the common folk or a terror to be feared? This title doesn't stand on its own—it’s connected to a bloody history of violence that guided you to the start of this path, a forsaken family, and all the trappings that go with making your reputation by the point of a sword. You should also work with the DM to flesh out your history.

Skill Proficiencies: Survival, Intimidation

Tool Proficiencies: One type of gaming set 

Languages: One of your choice

Suggested Characteristics

Warrior Princesses are born and raised to a very different lifestyle than most people ever experience, and their personalities reflect that upbringing. A royal title, even an abandoned one, comes with a plethora of bonds and obligations. And a Warrior Princess has often carved a fearsome reputation across many lands.
