__________________IN-DEPTH STUFFPhysical DescriptionShort in stature, Cas stands at around 5'1. At a glance, she appears to possess a dainty, slender frame, but a closer look reveals her to be more on the athletic side. Her chestnut brown hair is thick, dark, and as unruly as her spirit. Cas keeps it at chin length, giving her a tomboyish flair. The sharp, pointed shape of her ears gives no doubt about her elven heritage as the edges playfully poke from beneath her mane.
Caslawen's eyes are round and large, framed by a round face, and have the deep reddish hue of precious rubies with a glimmer of mischief. Her nose is button-shaped, a line of freckles dotted over it and spreading outward across her cheeks. No matter how much time she spends outside, she cannot seem to catch a tan, her complexion permanently fair. She moves with the stalking grace of a hunter and has the fragrance of freshly cut grass and autumn leaves about her.
A creature of practical mind, Cas prefers to don a combination of durable leather and hides for armor. Many concealed pockets hide within her apparel, a necessity for a thief. It comes as no surprise a spare knife rests secreted away within her boot; the footwear itself is thigh-high leather with soft soles to allow for a stealthy approach.
PersonalityA wild, untamed thing without a goal or destination. Experiencing the duality typical for half-elves, she's not entirely human or elf, able to simultaneously fit in everywhere and belong nowhere. Her heart longs for the trees and lush clearings when enclosed within the city walls and misses the comforts of civilization when amid nature.
Caslawen has a natural talent for getting into trouble and usually finds herself at odds with the law. A petty criminal, she lies and cheats her way through life to stay fed and afford the freedom to never work an honest job. Caslawen is not lazy per se, but suffers from poor work ethics; lacking motivation, easily distracted, dishonest.
What separates Cas from hardened criminals is precisely that, her unfocused nature and unwillingness to put too much effort into anything worthwhile. Her selfish nature comes from self-preservation rather than callousness. At times she longs for a different sort of life, one with a meaning, but unfortunately lacks any sort of useful skillset to make that happen.
Magic/Abilities A competent hunter, Caslawen has learned how to track beasts and her aim with a bow is something to boast about. She is also a capable sneak who can move almost unheard. Given enough time she can pick simpler locks almost as readily as she picks pockets. She is observant of her surroundings and scrutinizes the looks of others to determine the weight of their coin pouch. And she knows how to read and write, a surprising quality to find among scoundrels.
RelationshipsHistoryCaslawen was the undesired result of a one-time affair between a charming elven shaman and a married noblewoman. Inheriting neither magic nor riches, she grew up traveling among wandering gypsies, mercenaries for hire, bandits on the run, valiant knights, starving refugees, and thieving comedians. Life was far from ideal and lacked meaningful connections and stability, but she always picked an odd skill here and there and usually departed in the dead of night richer several stolen items and coins. After discovering a talent for putting arrows where she wanted them, the half-elf put her natural dexterity and marksmanship to poaching.
This behavior put her at odds with local authorities and forced her to stay on the road. Then she found out how easily her nimble fingers could relieve others of their purses. When the hand of the law finally nabbed the thieving little half-elf and landed her in jail, she used a small trick to pick the lock and slithered into the shadows. And such was the simple life of a simple half-elf. It sure beat begging, as Cas would often comment with an impish spark in her eyes.
