Physical Description
Malila is a tall woman, reaching a height of 6'1", and she's 165lb with lightly toned muscles. She looks younger than her 46 years, appearing to be in her late 20's or early 30's. She wears a close fitting supple leather vest of a pale golden brown, as well as snug pants and well worn boots of the same material. Her boots look well cared for but bare signs of repair, hinting at the many miles they have carried her. The ties that bind the leather vest, on it's sides and front, appear to be dark purple silk cords. Her hair seems to always have a little sway to it, even when she stands motionless in a closed room. The fine silver strands fall to her shoulders in a purposeful mess of waves. Her ears and face have many piercings in them. Onyx pampels hung on electrum dangle from her lobes and a trail of six small trillion-cut jacinth climb up each ear topped by four electrum helix hoops. Her anti-traguses hold pear-cut sapphires, and her traguses, cushion-cut amethysts. She has a small electrum hoop in her left nostril, and two in her right eyebrow. She also has electrum barbells in her nipples. Her like caramel tan skin is covered in vibrant tattoos in a rainbow of colors, depicting all manner of flowers, most from Thanatos, though some of Serenian origin. Her eyes are a pale, crystalline grey that seem peaceful even when Malila is at her most angry. On her left hip she carries a long knife, and a short sword. It's rare that she draws the knife, and even more rare to draw the sword.


Personality and Background
Malila Siharath is cunning and perceptive. She is also crass and cruel. She is quite adept at using her feminine wiles, though keeping the flirtatious attitude going can be a challenge when she feels disdain for her target. She likes being in control and she's not afraid to get her hands dirty to seize the power she desires. That being said she doesn't like responsibility. Being someone that others look to for answers, or to have their needs met was never really her idea of fun. Neither was conforming to social norms. That's why she rebelled when she was young, it's why she refused to give up her elemental magic, it's why she ended up (happily) self-banished from Thanatos, and why she drifts from town to town, gang to gang. She's generally quick witted, you have to be if you want to be a successful grifter, and she tries to think ahead for any possible obstacles she might meet during a con, or otherwise. Back at her island home her mother tried to teach her to conform to the Thanati society, but she was born as an air elementalist and she was averse to hiding who she was. Even when she was young she had a strong sense of pride, and when she was bullied by a girl that was jealous of her silver hair, she wouldn't stand for the humiliation. Malila lashed out with a blast of air that knocked the girl several feet away. She lost face and dishonored herself, but what mattered to her most was her own dignity and pride. That is a lesson that has held with her her entire life. She was number one, and she would do what was best for her. Her continued use of air magic, and her attitude of self first got her into continued trouble. Nothing that required severe punishment, but eventually she earned herself Untouchable status. Even her parents turned their back on her at that point, their only child. So she hopped a ship, filled it's sails with wind as payment and soon found herself a sailor, but it wasn't thrilling enough. She eventually found herself on the deck of ship of merchants that doubled as smugglers, which she enjoyed more, but it still wasn't enough. A few months of that and she next found herself on a pirate vessel. That she enjoyed a bit more, but she quickly discovered being at sea, trapped on a ship with a bunch of unruly (mostly)men, was not for her. So she rediscovered her land legs and ventured forth on the cold northern coast of Connlaoth. She only stayed there a few days. Once she discovered their 'deep love' of mages, she found herself on a Serenian trade ship, bound for the land of the Faeries. Growing up in Thanatos gave her a knowledge of the mystical, and an appreciation, that the people of Serendipity, at least in her experience, almost completely lack. From peasants to nobles, the general knowledge of the faé and other magical creatures is boiled down to, 'they do magic things.' Apart from farmers that have to deal with basilisks eating their livestock, or mystics and shaman, though Serenians mostly don't call them that, that make potions and such for villages there is a major absence of people that know about and how to deal with magical lifeforms. So Malila has used this to her benefit. She trades in this knowledge, or in false knowledge, to prey upon help people across the land. Malila vacillates between flush and broke. She lives for her next big score, and once she has the coin, she blows it on fleeting moments of pleasure and leisure. She mostly doesn't stay in one place for long, but she returns to some of her coastal haunts from time to time. Filling a merchant ships sails is always an easy way to make a quick coin.
