The "bad" female warrior was a knight that belonged to an order. Because of her wits and curiosity, and because something fishy was going on with her missions, she snooped around and learned of her order's dark secrets. She quit and became a mercenary while trying to figure out how to take down this evil order.
Since she's clever, she uses her wits to defeat her opponents rather than brute strength. This way I can strip some of that heavy armor to make her less beefy and give her the typical female game character look. Since she's a mercenary now, she will have a more custom armor set to her liking.
