Irin Osera

Backstory:
Irin Osera is the champion of the city of Cirros. Aside from her innate talent with swordplay, she has trained hard since the day she was old enough to hold a sword in her hands, determined to escape the life of a housemaid and to prove to the world that she could become the most fearsome Knight the world has ever seen. She rose through the ranks of command quickly, and now leads the most elite unit of Cirros' army: The White Fury. The Fury exists to hunt down and kill the supernatural threats of the land, all who hunger for the flesh of the innocent. All of her life, Irin has seen the supernatural and their powers as wicked and cruel.
It only grew worse on the day that her family was killed by the hands of demons. On that day, her mercy became no more. Inconsolable and driven mad with rage and grief, Irin hunted down the demons relentlessly. It was on her own that she slew every last one of the pack that killed her loved ones. All, except for their leader, Baal. In a moment of incredible fury and terror, Baal's wicked claws pierced her heart and left Irin on the ground, dying fast.
But she refused to die.
The evil power of the demons and Irin's own righteous fury met, and in a terrible collusion where the evil fed on her own pure hatred, they joined and molded together as one. Her hands transformed into razor-sharp claws. Her armor into a solid exoskeleton that was black as death and terrifying to behold. She became incredibly strong and incredibly fast: a howling beast of death whose ferocity was only matched by Irin's own passion and righteousness.
She was disgusted by what she had become with every fiber in her being. As her demon form rose from the ground and threw itself upon Baal, shrieking and tearing, she fought against it. She hated it. She could not bear the thought that she had become the very thing that she had dedicated her life to destroying.
It was only until the fight was over and Baal had fled, wounded, back into Hell, that her demon form had calmed down enough for her to take control. With agonizing slowness, the woman returned back into a human again. Her wounds were gone completely.
The demon has never left her, but Irin despises it with every passing day. She even named the demon Hate. It's a fitting name, she thinks, and it's not just because how she feels about it. It was hate that created the demon, and it's hate that fuels it.
At least she can still use it for good.
Abilities:
Irin: Irin is an incredibly skilled swordfighter. She's very quick with her blade, and her blows hit like sledgehammers. As she fights, her sword moves in a dazzling dance of death, sweeping high and low in concert with her body, dodging and parrying and striking back in return. She's a deadly enemy in a fair swordfight.
Her weapon was created specially for her by the smiths of Cirros, made from pure silver and charmed to be indestructible. The silver of her blade shatters magical defenses and sears the flesh of evil creatures.
Irin's armor is designed to protect against magical effects, aiding her against mental attacks and defending her from physical onslaughts like supernatural fire and lightning and any other unnatural dangers.
If Hate ever escapes from Irin's restraints because she is too wounded or weak to keep her in check, the demon will seize the opportunity and burst free at once.
Hate: Hate is Irin's demon, locked inside of her and always fighting to escape. Hate lusts for the ecstatic feeling of warm blood splashing against her armor as she tears her enemies to shreds. There is no greater feeling than the thrill of the fight, and screaming sounds of the vanquished as she slowly kills them as painfully as possible.
Hate is tall and fairly thin, but she is surrounded by a pitch black exoskeleton of armor that can disappear completely in the shadows. The armor is nearly unbreakable, but a hard enough blow can crack it to reveal the soft flesh beneath.
The demon is supernaturally fast and strong, becoming no more than a blur as she tears apart the battlefield, shrieking and cackling with glee as she kills. Intead of relying on special armor to absorb blows, the demon will take your strongest hit full in the face and only laugh harder, no matter how badly it hurt her. She is as insane as she is terrifying.
Her claws are razor sharp, which come in handy when the demon slowly flays the flesh off of her wounded enemies. However, they are also thick and capable of smashing rocks into dust.
Weaknesses:
While Irin's armor is powerful when it comes to deflecting magic, it is far less effective against natural dangers. It wasn't designed for fighting mundane enemies. Also, it cannot stand up against naturally-caused fire/lightning//whatever, as opposed to anything created through your powers.
Irin hates the demon inside of her with a passion. If Hate breaks free, she will endlessly fight within herself to regain control and return to her normal human self. Even if it means her death. But once it's free the demon is a lot stronger than her, and she can only regain control if Hate is weakened or if there's no one around to kill.
Hate is insane with lust for violence and has no sense of self-preservation. She will make no move to avoid attacks and will instead crash right through them, relying on her incredibly tough exoskeleton to protect her.
Personality:
Irin: Irin is assertive and quick to the point in her conversations. She keeps most people at arm's length. But if you're ever around her when she's at ease, Irin can be kind and she has a good sense of humor. Few have ever seen this side of her, though.
Hate: Hate is completely insane and sadistic. She is intelligent, but prefers not to speak unless it can be used as a method to inflict pain. Unless there is a strong opponent to battle instead, Hate will leave her beaten foes crippled but alive so that she can torture them slowly to death. Created out of intense hatred and determination, this demon exists only to kill.
