Description: This woman is moderately tanned and has just the faintest trace of an accent. She dresses in blue turtlenecks beneath a red coat with pastel slacks. She has slicked back black hair. Judging by the bloodshot nature of her eyes and the massive bags underneath them one would imagine she has not slept for days.

Personality: She is curt in most of her responses. She prefers to keep her word usage to a minimum to avoid giving away unnecessary information. When triggered she is a bloodthirsty maniac, stopping at nothing and killing everything for almost an hour.

History: Her parents moved while she was still in utero so she is the first generation to be born here. Her parents died when she was young, and she was unceremoniously dumped in the city orphanage. Thiala grew up in the orphanage, tormented by the older kids and famished from lack of food. To avoid death by starvation, most orphans take to a life of crime or prostitution (often both), and so did Thiala. She is untrained/undisciplined, which makes her dangerous.

Motivation: A rival would like her out of the picture; and seeks redemption
