History
"Body of woman, white hills, white thighs,

you look like the world, lying in surrender...

To survive myself I forged you like a weapon,

like an arrow in my bow, like a stone in my sling.."

-Body of woman (Pablo Neruda)

Young, beautiful, classy, seductive - attributes seen and admired in all cultures around the world, in all ages. Nothing is more dangerous than a beautiful woman with a heart of fire. Except for one thing: a woman with a silent weapon who is all too eager to make your life a short one.

Such are the Andoran Courtesans, infiltrators consisting of the finest, beautiful, women Andora had to offer, but just as deadly as its legions of soldiers. A Courtesan understands the mind of her often male counterparts and enemies all too well and knows how to use her charm to seduce an unsuspecting, unwary admirer. Turning him, or sometimes her, against their fellow comrades, is as easy for such a woman as it is to sneak into an enemy building with graceful movements leaving anyone around standing in awe of such a wonder of nature. Being accompanied by a few wolves is considered normal, and shows how even the animals admire them.

Courtesans are just as graceful on land as in the water, with their waterproof dresses enabling them to swim tirelessly in the endless waves of the ocean, in the silent rivers of the continents, and the off-shore regions where structures, and thus targets, might be built by the many foes the Andoran Republic has. Often accompanied by a few dolphins, the only male being known to a Courtesan who would not fall to the charm of a woman, she will silently enter the platform, while her hungry friends head over to a feast. While the Courtesan converts and distracts the enemy operators, the building will stop functioning completely, with the enemy commander wondering why there are no responses from the building staff.

Courtesans, though they may appear unarmed on the outside, do know how to defend themselves. Unbeknownst to those allured by them, they are in fact masters of martial arts of different sorts, which explains why they can leap and swim long distances without rest. Their skill and prowess in the arts of the body enable them to fend off enemies who are not blinded by their charm and would still dare to fire at an unarmed woman, and they are capable of stunning large groups of infantry through their seductiveness and beauty.

In the hundreds, they are trained in academies to become natural weapons, while the command indoctrinates them no never show emotions other than those for seduction, neither fear nor pain, and to never hold back no matter what the cost when doing missions. To learn how to serve the Republic will be indoctrinated into them at the same time, until they give their personalities up and begin to only live for the mission, and are only allowed to be themselves when off-duty.

It is stated in the armies around the world that Courtesans are likely to hold another dangerous aspect to them, which is a poison in their very own bodies. Tales of old Cantha cultures, like in the Elsword and Katsuragi folklore, tell about a woman who can literally kill with love, making her lover suffer a heart disease in less than a few minutes by poisoning him with her tears or by kissing. The people of the Katsuragi Protectorate call this Kodoku, or Girl's Poison. Since the day the Andoran Republic has stuck the first blow against its enemies outside of Andora, generals, politicians and soldiers have died mysteriously, always before an Andoran attack.

"That's why I never kiss 'em on the mouth."
