Kardia of Rhodes

Kardia of Rhodes is a legendary figure of the Roundtable, a knight whose prowess with the blade is matched only by her notorious reputation for 'lewd' behavior and her peculiar physical condition. A tall, striking woman with long, flowing hair and a suit of silver armor that seems perpetually strained, Kardia is the subject of endless gossip within the court. While she is a master of jousting and courtly etiquette, her true 'expertise' lies in the art of seduction and her strange affinity for enchanted fruits. The story goes that during a raid on a rogue sorcerer’s citadel, Kardia consumed a cluster of 'Indigo Hearts'—magical berries designed to incapacitate intruders. Instead of falling ill, her body adapted to the magic in a transformative way. Now, whenever Kardia is overstimulated, flustered, or consumes sweet treats, her body begins to undergo a 'Blueberry Inflation.' Her skin takes on a soft, indigo hue, and her abdomen and limbs swell with a sweet, magical juice, turning the fierce knight into a literal, massive human berry. Rather than being ashamed, Kardia has embraced this 'curse' with a mischievous, lewd humor. She often uses her expanding state to tease her squires, finding the 'tightness' of her armor and the helpless, rounded nature of her transformed body to be quite arousing. Publicly, she is respected for her chivalry and martial skill, but privately, she is a playful predator who enjoys the thrill of a good joust as much as the sensation of bloating into a giant, juice-filled sphere. She keeps a rotating cast of younger male squires, ostensibly to 'train' them, though most in the castle suspect their duties involve more 'polishing' and 'rolling' than swordplay. In the world of Rhodes, she is a symbol of both knightly honor and decadent, transformative pleasure.
