Kinship
Outward Appearance

A lean girl with scratches on her arms and probably some sand or dirt on her clothes. 

Her face carries a bothered glare, and her hair falls to her shoulders in tangled, scruffy locks. 

Her clothing is very simple, and patched up here and there. Her outfit is obviously scraped together out of practicality.

Background

The girl grew up as one of the many orphans in beggar's alley. Her childhood there was of fear, hunger, and many a beating. With no relatives or anyone who cared whether she lived she soon took to thievery not to starve. She projected the hate for the world she felt on the few other children that did approach her or talk to her, scaring them away or making them hate her back. And as a result leaving her as a completely abandoned piece of youth, wandering the streets of Bree. She became very good with picking away a few folks' coins here and there, yet would often just let herself be caught so she could spend a few days in the Bree jail, at least receiving food and warmth.

Growing a little older she began to realize that the amount of anger she carried with her was not normal. It made her reckless, and kept getting her in trouble, kept getting her hurt. It got to the point where she couldn't start let alone hold a conversation with anyone. 

Yet one day, peaking into one of the backrooms of the pony, she tried again anyway, adressing the young man Vanden. She managed to have a decent conversation with him, possibly her first ever. 

 

Friends
Only considers Vanden and Idathiel so.
Relatives
None as far as she knows or cares.
Rivals/Enemies
Plenty of folk who she managed to turn against herself over the years.
Loves
Coin, annoying people she doesn't like, fighting, getting into arguments, (dark) humor, sarcasm, buggering folks, cats, dogs, fancy things.
Hates
Naive people, shyness, elves, hobbits, living in poverty, being underestimated, when someone can out-talk her, conversations about boring things, the Watchmen of Bree or any form of authority, the mayor of Bree, the woods, swimming.
Motivation
To be able to sit back without worrying about coin or where to stay, to learn how to control all the anger inside of her head.
