|---|---|
| Residence | Bree-lands and Lone Lands |

| Outward Appearance | ![]()
Race/Ethnicity: Native to Bree Names: Cisel is her natural born name given to her by her brother Alex shortly after her birth. Many in Bree know her as Pup, a nickname given to her by Aeonid when she was 14. Out in the Lone Lands she is known as Rowan. Many may not know her real name out that way. Skin Tone: Slightly tanned from time spent in the sun with bits of freckles down her arms due to sun damage. Her skin is rough with thick callouses on her feet and hands indicating her living a life of poverty where she had to work instead of having others attend on her. Height: Fairly tall for a Breeland maiden, although still shorter than the average Gondorian or Rohirrim still Build: Muscular for a woman implying she may have done some sort of manual labor most her life Eyes: Green with hints of gold specks near the pupil Hair: Dark brown hair that is fairly short and is poorly chopped on the ends leading to fuzziness. Tattoos, Piercings, Marks, Scars, etc.: She has many cuts and scars across her body and freckles on her face and arms. One notable one is on her left thigh. Often she sports a few bruises here and there although rarely anything terribly extreme. Appearance: Cisel's age is hard to determine from her face and voice, but it is clear after watching her for a little while that she is more youthful than she initially appears. She is surprisingly muscular for a woman of her stature. Her face is covered in freckles, her hair a dark brown color, and her skin is a tanner shade. She typically wears dull grey or olive clothes that clings with baggy, loose-fit pants. Bits of leather leather is often mixed in with her boots and gloves to serve as a bit of protection. Her hair is almost always tangled, despite Cisel's desperate efforts to smooth it out, but the choppy cut leaves her frayed ends. She has no clue how to properly cut and style her hair in a way that keeps it from puffing out. In some areas such as the Forsaken Inn, Cisel is known as Rowan. There, she is often seen wearing a tattered overcoat and a cloak that often hides her womanly figure. With her shortly cut hair and mud scattered about her cheeks and chin, and the more gender neutral name of Rowan, many often mistake her as a man. When this occurs, she happily speaks in a more masculine tone instead of correcting them. Education: You may not hear much about her save for perhaps her fighting skills (can be regarded as good or bad depending on how sober she was when she was fighting the one telling). She is adept in many skills. She seems rough around the edges, but as one begins to talk to her, she seems to have taken to studying more as she's gotten older. Languages spoken: Western and vague amounts of Rohirric. When she speaks, normally she has a heavy Breeish accent; however, in some cases she can fake a different accent. Over the years her Bree accent has softened save for when she's drunk. She also has mastered the imitation of a rough man's tone that she uses at times. Weapons (if any): Upon meeting her you'd see that she openly carries a thick mace, a few knives, and an old bow with a small set of arrows attached to the saddle of her steed. However, do note while she's within Bree, she does not carry her mace. It is often on the saddle of her horse instead as is her larger dagger. The only weapon she carries within Bree is often a few knives concealed away. Occupation(s): You can ask her but you may not get a straight answer Special Abilities/Skills: She doesn't flaunt most of her skills, the only one that may be noted by some around Bree is her ability to steal (although you might question that due to the times she's been caught as a kid) Serious Problems/Flaws/Addictions/Disorders/Disabilities: Cisel is has attempted to soften many of her old temper issues. This has led her to try to be more serious and sometimes a bit heartless. When she is drinking though, her temper does flair up again.
"As ya get ta know someone, then whether they be a wise ol' man or a childish fool will be revealed. Or 'n some cases, ya find em a mix o' both. For me, you'll just find me semi-insane and a whole bunch o' confusion. At least that's what I've been told, I think myself as perfectly normal." |

Background

If you wander around looking for Cisel, you'll find many different accounts for the girl. Sometimes they ask for a description of the lass and if you give it to them, they'll give you a response varying depending on where you are. Down below are the various responses you receive when asking for Cisel:
An elderly man sitting along the cobblestone path in Beggar's Alley peers up to you. When you ask for Cisel, he thinks for a moment scratching his balding head. Then suddenly he grins his toothless grin and barks out, "Cisel? Oh tha' wee lass who lived around here a few years back! Don't know where she been up to since her siblin's passin, but her mum was sure a looker. Bet she'd grow up to be fine herself. Although if she turned out more like her brother she mighta been offed by them Watchers or some other criminal by now."
Walking through the markets of Bree, there is a pretty middle aged woman with soft lines along her lips and her fading hair pulled back into a neat little bun. She chats with a few friends before noticing you. Raising a brow at the name Cisel, she seems to grow agitated and rub her hands on the apron of her dress, "Oh that thieving little brat. She ran with all them lowly boys back in the day. Bet she got knocked up by now or killed. Hope she never comes back, I lost good money to her and her friends. You better not be one of them pickpockets or I ought to grab me broom and swat you out of here."
Leaning against one of the tables of the Prancing Pony, a younger man sits with his one mug of ale in his hand. He seems to take longer to recgonize the name of Cisel and asks for a description. Then he sits up and smiles a little bit as he says, "Oh I remember. I didn't quite get the name Cisel at first. Most around here called her Pup. If I remember right, she was that one lass who used to try to sell goods to patrons. Used to get shooed off by Barli when people started to complain. Cute kid, always wondered where her parents were. Had to intervene a few times when she ticked someone off. It's been years since I've heard anything about that girl."
After a long journey out of Bree, you rest at the Forsaken Inn. A rough looking man leans behind the counter. Tilting his head, he smiled a bit the moment you offered a description. "Cisel? Don't recognize that name, but that description sounds awful lot like a lass named Rowan. She's tha' one lass tha' traveled with tha' odd band o' ruffians. She ain't always too friendly, but never causes problems. Accordin to some folks they're great at huntin down some bounties. No clue where her lil group disappeared off too though. She's been alone the last few times she's popped by. Iffin ye lookin for her, she tends to pass through once ever week or so."
Finally you make it out to Ost Guruth where a middle aged woman eyes you suspiciously. Regardless you approach and she seems to turn away from you a bit. When you give her the description, she lets out a low grunt and says, "Don't know no one by the name Cisel, but yer description sounds like a bloke who comes by these parts by the name of Rowan. But pretty sure 'e ain't a lass. I'd sure be wary of him. He's a wee bit mad in the head. Probably some criminal exiled from Bree that ain't gonna last very long out in these dangerous lands."
