Whisper
Basic Information
True Name: Adara Mavros (See History)
Race: Mixed Blood (Inarta/Human)
Birthday & Age: 46th of Fall, 485 AV (26 yrs. old)
Gender: Female
Physical Description
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 113 lbs.
She is particularly lithe, but doesn't mean she doesn't have a nice figure. Well-rounded in both areas, she is only short of gorgeous. Her shoulder length, red hair bounces lightly on her flawless, fair white skin. She would catch the eye of men walking down the street, but not particularly to the point of them falling over themselves; just a pretty face with pale green eyes.
Character Concept
A sharp tongue and pretty face always make a good match and that is the case here with Whisper. Whisper isn't her real name, but so very few even know her real name, much less speak it. She does what it takes to keep her neck out from under the blade and isn't afraid to claw her way out of a bad situation. Not knowing most of her heritage from either her mother or father keeps her at a distance from the memories she has of her parents. Though, she draws on her misguided anger at her mother for strength at times. She trusts no one except people she absolutely knows she can trusts and definitely has a handheld crossbow or a dagger pointed at everyone when intentions aren’t clear, even the people she trusts. She looks at trust for people in specific areas. For example, she would trust a certain man to deliver her the right ingredients for her poisons with no trouble, but not to get it to her on time. She is almost always up for a (hopefully)friendly competition to test herself, especially while doing parkour. She isn't above lying nor does she expect others to be, though she will pay in kind to the one who lied to her, the payment depending on how much she valued the information. She sticks to an honor code of her own though. She pities the less fortunate enough to not feed off them, but isn't about to give them a handout of any sort. A natural disdain for people in general, she would only help someone in danger if she actually cared about them or needed them to a higher gain. She knows what she has to do to live in her harsh world and prays that she can continue to endure it.
Character History
(Incomplete because I know I will add more as I wonder. And simply because I havn't banged out all the ideas in my head enough to write down.)
Whisper only knew her first name for many years result of her mother not telling her much of her father. Her mother did not have a last name(she being a full-blooded Inarta, she possessed no surname) so it did not strike her as odd to only have a first name. Her mother told Whisper her father's surname some time during her mid-teens, but did not dwell on the subject for more than a day or two. Only a handful of people ever heard her true name(only her first name) since in her late teens she had picked up the cover name "Whisper", which is the name she answers to to this day, and the fact that she did not frequently have extended interaction with other people while growing up other than her mother who normally called her by her childhood nickname "Birdie". Any talk of her mother's non-existant surname was always dismissed quickly or deflected into another topic.
