[Cadence Pruette]

Cadence Pruette Appearance Race: Human Gender: Female Age: 19 Birthday: Day 54, Summer, 494 AV Birthplace: Zeltiva Appearance: Cadence is a slender young woman with a toned body, yet you can tell that she has missed a few meals. She is around 5' 3" and weighs 113 pounds. She has a pale skin tone with a rough complexion, along with freckles scattered randomly along her face and arms. Upon her face is a slightly aged burn scar, reaching from her right cheek-bone to just above her jaw line. Her hair is a curly, crimson, mess, framing her face with strands pointing every direction possible. Her eyes are anything but magnificent, a dark brown shade that one might see any day. Character Concept Cadence is pleasant enough to the people she meets. She tries to stay happy and kind most of the time, but her past and her upbringing cause her to often settle into dark moods when no one else is around. She grows tired of mundane city life, and of doing her father's work. She mourns her late mother, and she practices with a dagger when she can. She has one goal, and only one goal. Get out of the city once and for all. Character History When Cadence was a young girl, she could almost be considered the happiest child in Mizahar. She was always smiling, and she loved everything and everyone she met. She lived with her mother and father in their home where her father worked on watches. They loved Cadence and did everything in their power to make sure she was happy. Obviously, not everything can last forever. When Cadence's mother fell fataly ill, her father began to stress. The quality of his work dropped substantially, and so did their income. Cadence was forced to watch as her entire life fell apart before her, and her mother's final breath blew the killing blow to her father. Upon awaking the next morning, Cadence looked in her father's room to wake him up, finding something unexpected instead. A note and her parents wedding rings. The note said that her father had left Zeltiva, and that he regretfully wouldn't be comming back. He wished Cadence the best of luck, and apologized for leaving her. After losing her father, she soon began to starve without the Mizahs or Nilo to get by. She eventually began trying to work with the watches her father left behind, unraveling the mysteries of their clockwork interfaces, and drawing upon all the times she'd watched him work the shop. As she worked, she began to understand, and eventually knew enough to make an alright living. She was no where near a master, but she was good enough, she just tried to make the money she needed without having to turn to less savory methods of monetary support. The longer she worked, the more she thought of her parents, the more she thought of her parents, the more she couldn't stand the work. She became angry with Zeltiva, but she couldn't leave, she didn't have the knowledge or the supplies, so she had to continue working, or else she'd starve and lose any chance to see the world and, maybe, find her father. Ever since she first wanted to leave, she's been honing her skills by navigating the city faster and faster, learning about every niche and cranny she can find. One day, later on in her past, she awoke to the burn of smoke filling her nostrils, and was soon fleeing the cottage she'd called home for so long as it burned to the ground, result of the small mistake of over-filling the hearth for the night. As she watched her life burn to the ground, she had a goal. Walking away, with nothing but her parents rings and a burn on her face, she made it her top priority that she would leave this city, by any means necessary. She began to practice cutting coin purses, snatching food from vendors and reselling it. Training herself in the ways of a thief, and living the life of one. She used her money to stay in a local inn, where she still resides.
