__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description A small, thin waif of a girl, only beginning to develop more mature curves in her body. She has sharp features, short black hair cut to her cheeks and a ratty, side parted thick lot of bangs. Her eyes are a blazingly bright blue and her skin is the traditional pale tone of most Connlaothians. She has thin lips, a small smattering of freckles dotting her cheeks and would have a beautiful face if she tried. However, due to her lifestyle, she looks rather homely. Then again, she grew up mostly on the streets.

Personality
Blunt but uncertain of herself, mostly because she was trained to try and be as inconspicuous as possible. She grew up along side her brother with a group of bandits, and one way he aimed to protect her was by pretending to be quiet, unheard of and small. She purposely would dress down or like a boy, making herself as ordinary and uninteresting as possible. Because of this upbringing, she's very defensive internally and is not quick to trust by any means. In fact, she believes trust is a sign of weakness- even if it's something she doesn't realize she thirsts for and to understand. She trusts enough as a thief and bandit, but once her operations began to expand into spy work...

Her idea of trust has begun to walk a thin line. Who could she trust? After her brother 'disappeared' over a year ago, it was getting harder and harder to walk her current path of life. But it was all she knew- what else was there if she wasn't a thief, bandit or spy?

Because she is rather quiet and reserved, she is VERY good at studying a room, studying a person and uses what she knows to her advantage.

However.. a few mistakes during her years alone have since scarred her- mentally and physically.

Magic/Abilities She is a mage with the ability to muffle sound. Although it's mostly limited to anyone she has contact with. If you walk with her, she likely can mask any sound you make. Three or more people.. she's less likely to be successful in masking their sounds. Her magic works in three ways- She can mask her own sound from anything hearing her, she can mask sounds from outside so she can't hear it, or both at the same time.

Relationships
Zander Porter-Her brother- current whereabouts unknown
Thieving crew- closest thing to a family she got, but even her brother told her not to trust them too much.
Wrent- one of the crew. A magically enhanced 'strong man'.
Feuno- flamboyant leader of the crew


History
Her family was cast out of the city when she was real young, around the time her brother developed his magics. He was beaten for it and eventually he decided to run away, little did he know his younger sister had tagged along with him as a stow away. The pair grew up on the streets, eventually fell into pick pocketing and from there- banditry and more proper thieving. They normally worked with a crew who could take advantage of both her and her brother's 'powers'.

Every so often her brother would ask her why she ran away with him, and she'd always tell him 'because our family doesn't understand'. He knew what she meant. They were both afraid of magic and when she revealed to Zander she too, was a mage- she knew she also could not stay behind.

More to come once I think of more! maybe!
