The Queen's Court
Sitting next to the Queen's Gambit, the Queen's Court is a fenced off area for matches for the Queen's Cup. The field has been leveled and there's spectator seats behind the fencing. It's a decent sized space, comparable to the Pits. At least three fights can be held at once. All training weaponry and equipment is stored in the Queen's Gambits' basement to prevent theft- and weapons are maintained and checked daily by the Advisor. The Queen's Court is an all female prize fighting ring- the women who compete are all personally selected by someone already part of the Queen's Court/Gambit, but Missy gets some final say in who competes in the Cup professionally.
Reina and the twins Leanne and Leena deal as the announcers and referees, and do so with deadly efficiency. The Healer deals with injuries, medical reviews on site. If she deems someone incapable there are no questions asked and the person is either sent to healers and/or removed from the ring on an as needed basis.
The fighters typically range in skill, and they're only pitted against higher tiers if they ask or prove worthy of the next level. That said, oftentimes the more physical women of Rharne come here to settle disputes with other women and are therefore allowed to use the Court so long as a referee is present. Anyone can spectate/participate in fights, regardless of gender. If they want to fight a competitor or duke it out to settle something they're welcome to use the court. That said, men can't compete in the Queen's Cup and will be hired with utmost scrutiny if they wish to work at the Gambit.

Race: Mixed Blood (Biqaj/human)
DoB: 40th Zi'da, Arc 686 (34)
Title: Announcer/Referee
Skills: Rhetoric (Expert), Socialization (Competent), Acting (Competent), Deception (Novice), Persuasion (Novice), Seduction (Expert), Detection (Competent)
Reina is s hard worker and an even stricter boss. She values initiative and work ethic- she has no time for slackers or bums. She's got a good voice- she's able to rile up the crowds of the Court with relative ease. But she's out for herself and her to associates mostly- once she hits it big she plans to ship out but only with her loyal companions in tow.
Race: Human
DoB: 102nd Ashan, Arc 695 (25)
Title: Referee
Skills: Endurance (Expert), Strength (Competent), Rhetoric (Novice), Acting (Novice), Etiquette (Novice), Blades: Shortsword (Noivce)
The older twin, Leanne is the muscle of the duo. She's always been more extroverted and active- and getting into the ring was just a natural next step for her. Still, she takes her younger twins advice with all possible care as she knows Leena would never lead her wrong. Leanne takes everything else with an annoying stance of nonchalance that seems to stem from her coping as a child.
Race: Human
DoB: 102nd Ashan, Arc 695 (25)
Title: Referee
Skills: Seduction (Novice), Acting (Novice), Etiquette (Competent), Persuasion (Expert), Rhetoric (Novice), Intelligence (Competent)
The younger twin, Leena has always had a hard time being away from Leanne. As children they were taught that they only had each other until Reina came into their lives. Leena is the brain- she uses honeyed words much like Reina to get what she wants and when. Though working as a referee has provided her with some useful experience, she wonders if there's more for her across thr seas.
Race: Mixed Blood (Sev'ryn/Human)
DoB: 111th of Ashan, Arc 691
Title: Dust Tier Fighter
Skills: Blades: Shortsword (Novice), Discipline (Novice), Endurance (Novice), Tactics (Novice), Intelligence (Novice)
A noble soul and bleeding heart, Errika wants to be a swordsman like the tales in books she's read. Unfortunately she's grown up and seen the world for what it is- just means she'll have to change it little by little. Focused and precise as she can muster, she's long since forgotten what it means to be weak.
Race: Human
DoB: 10th Cylus, Arc 700
Title: Dust Tier Fighter
Skills: Unarmed: Boxing (Novice), Strength (Novice), Tactics (Competent), Acrobatics (Novice), Intelligence (Novice)
A soft child, how Arai ever got into the Queen's Gambit is anyone's guess. Though she's not exactly weak, she does have a very docile and pacifist attitude, only standing ip for herself in the ring. She doesn't do exhibitions unless she has too, fear of someone she knows seeing her, but she doesn't hold back in her fights as they are a great way for her to let loose.
Race: Ithecal
DoB: 31st of Zi'da, Arc 699
Title: Earth Tier Fighter
Skills: Unarmed: Grappling (Competent), Strength (Novice), Endurance (Competent), Tactics (Novice)
Wersithium is one of those Ithecal that doesn't take crap from anyone. As far as she's concerned she's earned her place as a Earth Tier, and anyone who thinks otherwise can eat the dirt. She's not particularly violent, but she has a lot of repressed aggression and this is how she deals with it.
Race: Nearikk
DoB: 2nd Saun, arc 695
Title: Earth Tier Fighter
Skills: Blades: Dagger (Competent), Unarmed: Brawling (Novice), Stealth (Competent), Intimidation (Novice)
As quiet and demanding of respect as they come, Loshavkia has reached a level of proficiency that's good enough- unfortunately she wants more. Powered by a need to prove herself, to be the best, the Naer is not above petty trickery if it will ensure her victory.
Race: Human
DoB: 30th Vhalar, 698
Title: Glass Tier Fighter
Skills:Polearm: Naginata (Expert), Unarmed: Gauntlets (Competent), Acrobatics (Competent), Strength (Novice), Tactics (Competent), Endurance (Novice)
Hersha showed up one day and knocked one of the previous glass tier fighters on her ass. After such a humiliating defeat, Hersha made a show of taking her title. Welcomed into the ranks, Hersha hopes to climb further up the chain of command. She's ambitious, and she has the power and experience to back it up.
Race: Mixed Blood (Eidisi/Avriel)
DoB: 83rd Ymiden, Arc 656
Title: Glass Tier Fighter
Skills: Axes: Waraxe (Expert), Strength (Competent), Tactics (Novice) Endurance (Competent), Brawling (Novice), Intelligence (Competent), Discipline (Novice)
Strength of body, Strength of heart, and Strength of mind. Naomi was taught from a young age that a leader had both qualities of brain and brawn. If she took anything of her past to heart, it was that knowledge. Nowadays she trains her body, but she hopes one day, with effort and hard work, she'll be able to call herself a leader. Noami talks more from her Eidisi parent- as such she is wingless.
