Formal Attire
N/A

Kandara's usual attire is nothing that would generally garner attention, as she would prefer it. Her black leggings and grey boots cover her lower half, a long, narrow yellow stripe running the length of her leggings from hip to hem. For her hands, she dons a pair of black, fingerless gloves.  A sharp, sleeveless, yellow blouse is her choice of upper wear, covered by a long overcoat which hangs down to just past her knees, the sleeves usually rolled up halfway up her forearms. Depending on the situation, it is not uncommon for her to alternate to the robes she was given as a member of the Order of the Sun from the overcoat.

Her battle attire also switches from time to time, dependent on the situation at hand. When on assignment for the Order, her robes are the obvious choice of attire, though they open out at the waist rather than remaining enclosed for the full length. A high pair of black, leather boots protect her feet from the outer world, halting at the bottom of her knee. Red leggings cover her legs with red gloves on her hands that hem out just as the wrist and hand connects. A haubergeon protects her upper body, covered by her robes as she heads into battle.  Alternately, at times, she will instead don a hooded black cloak instead of the robes, the insignia of the Protectors upon it.

Never one to care much for the opinion of others, Kandara seems to always be seen at such occasions in some form of standard attire.

Born in 1974 in a small village, Kandara was brought into a warm family, and would soon become the middle child to parents Camden and Sharnell Vallen. She would grow as a lively child, playful and carefree, though she did tend to find herself in near constant scoldings. Things changed drastically before the girl would become fully aware of the world around her. The Order of the Sun sought out the girl, and her family. Having sensed her, the organization had come to take Kandara to follow her destiny as a Protector. Of course, the sudden reveal left her parents reluctant to send their child away, as they refused to give her to the organization. However, the child continued to grow, containing her became more difficult with each passing day. Knowing how dangerous and untrained person as herself could cause, The Order once more came for her, this time, succeeding in convincing her parents that this was for the best. Kandara, never one to pushed in any direction, refused as best she could, eventually being physically taken by the Order.

Mere weeks after being in the custody of the Order, the intensive training began, though it wasn't quite what one would expect. Unlike others, her fiery personality tended to hold her back, choosing either attempt escape, or simply not heed the words of her trainers. Her behavior continued, unchanged, until she was results with her own eyes. As her abilities began to mature and come together, Kandara found herself drawn into the teachings more and more, until the day her training finally came to an end.

As a fully recognized member of the Order, Kandara found herself out on assignments and travels much of the time. The freedom she felt when away from the Temple was what she always seemingly begged for, and to have it let her know that her heart was still beating, and she yet lived. Her travels took her far and wide, but she remained the same. Neither the years, nor her training, could quell her. Though the one thing that did bring the careless woman to her knees did. Her body began to fail her. With a heart rate that slowed almost enough to stop her blood from circulating, and a fever that left her shaking, the young Protector found herself bed ridden. During this time, the sickness nearly took something irreplaceable to her... She found herself with limted, and increasingly blurry vision in her right eye. That was where she lay as she fought for her life...

Nearly a year past as her body recovered from the devastating sickness. As her heart began to pump normally, her fever also dropped to within its normal limits. This allowed her to begin rehabilitation. Within time, she found herself once more able to move about with the help of a cane first, then eventually one her own. Along with the return of her abilities and usage of her body, her sight gradually returned as well, which would make anyone in her position sigh out of relief. It would be a full year before Kandara could once venture out on her own.

Her return to the active circle of the Order was not a highly celebrated one, as most knew what a handful she was to deal with and keep tabs on. Still, no one could deny that the young girl who once refused to even submit to teachings had since proven herself, and earned her place. With her return also came news, word of the death of her father, though not of natural means. This would begin a chain of events that would lead Kandara to venture off against the wishes of the Order. As a protector, it was her place to use her abilities to do such. However, such a vow meant nothing to her once faced with the ones responsible for the death of her father. A skirmish between herself and the group responsible for the actions grabbed the attention of those near by as she gave chase. The engagement lasted for nearly four full days as she gave chase to the group. Having finally cornered them, just as she prepared to gain her own personal revenge, a voice from behind her brought her frame to a halt, as she turned about to find herself faced with other from the Order. Immediately, the group detained her and returned to temple of the Order. There, she remained, detained under the watchful eye of the Order, fully aware that an attempt at leaving would probably end her own life ceasing. From within the walls of the temple, Kandara once more watched the world pass her by.

Finally, believed to have been redeemed of her past ways, and grown from her rebellious state, Kandara found herself freed once more, though two years had passed her by. Once more free to move about as she saw fit, though the ever lingering eyes of the Order still remained. Not as if such a thing would stop her...
