Appearance: Tall for a woman she has a build that is slender enough to make her look more delicate than she is despite her height. Her hair is a deep blue black, the blue-ish highlights of her hair visible only under certain lights.

She has a thick scar going across her right wrist and walks with a slight limp. Although time has allowed her to adjust for this and her motions are fairly fluid.
When it comes to clothing she prefer darker shades along with classic black. While she is a fan of high quality cloth, she prefers cuts that are made to allow movement and practicality rather than simply being decorative. They are however richly embellished if one looks at them closely enough. Fond of jewelry she tends towards silver settings with dark toned stones in them. To cover the scar on her wrist she almost always wears a thick silver bracelet on her right wrist with a dark red setting and wave like design etched into it. To keep her hair under control her default style is a single braid kept fairly tight which reaches to the middle of her back. Soft soled shoes tend to make her steps light unless she is out of doors for extended time in which case she prefers hard soled boots which reach to the middle of her calves.

Character History She had what she thought was a comfortable childhood. Her parents were fairly indulgent and she was given most of what she wanted. She and her siblings were allowed for the most part the run of the family compound. Not the most lady like of a child at a young age she spent most of her time playing rough and tumble games with her siblings, cousins, and children of the household staff. Her mother shook her head at the antics but wrote it off as the games of a small child.
As she got older, some of her freedom came to an end, at least in part. Her mother decided she was to old to run free and do what she liked, she was given over to tutors who did their best to impart some degree of manners and acceptable social behavior to her. Something they were able to do with various degrees of success. She did come to release she was a girl and being covered in mud and dirt was not something young ladies did. This did not stop her from indulging in the same games from time to time when no one was looking.
Her life was fairly idealistic, but sooner or later things were going to catch up to her or more to the point were going to catch up to her family. While her parents had a good name most of the money they had revived was from less than legal activities. In an effort to keep his family from falling into some form of genteel poverty her father had, amoungst other things borrowed money from the wrong people, as was wont to happen. When he could not pay it back the loan shark took offence.
He sent people to take the money back, as was his habit of dealing with late payments. Her father had enough security staff to put up a fight, which was the worst choice he could have made. Seeking to make an example of him they attacked the family and she was caught in the fray. While no one sat out to harm her, she was still not an adult she was in the wrong hallway and standing there attracted the attention of one of the attackers. A blow to the head sent her falling to the floor, she landed wrong and felt her leg give out from under her she was hauled by her arm to be moved out the way.
What happened after that was vaguely remembered flashes and smoke. The smoke as it turned out was from the house it's self, putting everything to the torch was a good way to show an example to any one would with hold money. Fearful of what would happen to her she was sent to live with relatives on her mothers side of the family, it was thought she would be out of the way and safe. They were not cruel to her and treated her well enough but the fact she would have to rely on herself was impressed upon her, they had enough money to raise her well but the inheritance would go to their own children.
With this in mind she paid attention to the social graces and skills she would need to support herself until she was able to make her way into a better life. Not willing to allow a woman and their own relative to be cast out and left to her own devices, she is given a small strip tend to live on, although it is enough to keep her from starving to death, there is not much beyond that. As a result, she makes do preforming mostly domestic work as befits a well bred lady who is improvised, while keeping an eye for any chance to climb the social ladder.
