Description: The woman speaks with an almost imperceptible accent. She seems to always be the slightest bit damp as if she got out from a pool a few moments ago.

Her hazel eyes show the wear and tear of someone lonely with a great burden to carry.

Personality: She likes to brag about her accomplishments and constantly tries to beat others to the punch. She is able to fit into much smaller and tighter spaces than normal.

History: She was born with several neurological imbalances, which makes sleep difficult for her. It may also be what makes her so good at details. Ostracized due to the psionic powers of her oldest sister, she and her siblings struck out on their own. In the process these unassuming Half-Elves became a terror of the countryside. She hopes to save up enough money to one day pay a cleric to cure her.

Motivation: To get a good night's sleep.
