Name: Ruosalki Tevoun -Akli or Rou
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Species: Marten
Occupation: Very skilled thief- her main means of survival. Rumored to be involved in an underground black market type organization and the slave trade.
Physical Appearance: Alki on the larger side for a marten. She is tall, slim and lithe in structure with a lean torso and stands with quite regal posture- as if she thinks very highly of herself. Her face is triangular and pointed at her nose. She has large bright eyes that are dark chocolate color and a large set of wide pointed tipped ears. Her tail is long and fluffier at the tip then at the base.
Mostly her body is light brown, dusted over with a bit of a darker color. Most of her face is lighter and her ears are white but rimmed in darker brown and her chest is dappled in the same light color as her face. The top of her nose is a bit darker and the color continues in the stripe up her face and down the back of her neck ending between her shoulder blades. Her paws and the tip of her tail are significantly darker then the rest of her body
When not in her ‘professional’ garb Alki actually enjoys dressing up a bit. She regularly wears earrings, jewels, dresses and the like if she is simply enjoying herself. However this is very uncommon and she is more likely to be seen in a black shirt with half-length sleeves that reach to where her paws become dark and black trousers that reach to the same point on her legs. Her shirt is short, exposing most of her belly and tied in a short bow on her mid back but it continues far up her neck to hide the lightest spots of fur it also has a hood that she uses to cover her white ears. On occasion the tufted end of her tail is tightly braided down- she does this to give it a slimmer appearance so that she may be mistaken for a ferret or weasel. She also wears a belt around her waist that holds nearly everything she carries with her in many pockets and containers.
Alki has also been known to alter her appearance in slight ways, using dyes, charcoal etc. to give herself noticeable but fake markings if she knows that she will be seen or has to speak with others during a theft.
Possessions: Alki owns a home near the shore- she is a bit of a hoarder and has an eye for shiny expensive things and most of her items that serve no purpose to her occupation are kept there. Her home is generally useless to her but she does stay there from time to time.
What she carries is a reflection of her current employment status. Normally she has an arsenal of burglary supplies such as lock picking kits, small saws, rough file-type blades, small shaped and cut rock pieces (used to carefully jam a lock), vials, rope and other odd items. She also carries a few small balls of thin cloth that are filled with a variety of things, most contain a mix of finely ground hot pepper and ground up dried clay creating a powder that fills the air and is quite painful if it is inhaled or gets into a creatures eyes. The remaining few are filled with shattered bits of glass, dusted in non lethal but quite painful poison. In a pinch she is able to throw these small weapons against the floor, creating a burning dust cloud or an extremely painful walking surface.
As far as weaponry goes she tries her hardest to be as light as possible, thus she carries only twin daggers (that sit on her belt along with all her other supplies) and two small sets of six sharp throwing needles (one that is tucked into a strap around her right ankle the other in a strap around her left wrist). She rarely ever needs to use them but when she does she is not quite professional with her weaponry but good enough to at least defend until she can catch an opportunity to escape.
Anything else she needs while out in the world she feels it her right to simply take it. She lives off stolen food and wears stolen clothes if hers become worn or dirty. She does not carry anything else because she is not keen on being weighed down in anyway.
Personality: Alki is quite a creative and contemplative creature. She enjoys her alone time because it allows her to think clearly. She enjoys her own thoughts far more then she likes hearing others voices. She enjoys puzzles and solving problems to nearly any situation which is why the strategic careful career as thief was always appealing to her. She is easily intrigued and quite curious when something is brought up that she knows little about.
In a way, Alki is uncomfortable around others. She is a bit of a loner, with few relationships outside of her profession and a distant way of greeting others- she simply does not emit a friendly ‘vibe.’ This social awkwardness is unconsciously hidden by her sarcastic belittling of those around her, her sharp wit makes it quite clear she is not out to make friends but in all honestly she simply does not understand the ‘getting to know you’ process. That is not to say that it is impossible for her to form a functional friendship, she has had a handful of quite wonderful ones. This inability however does not stop her in any sort of complex thievery scheme. She can switch into work mode like an on/off switch and sweet talk herself into where she needs to be.
She is a hard-hearted beast, not at all hesitant to kill to protect her identity or what she has taken. She works regularly on the more vermin side of the line, although occasionally she does switch over and has even stolen live prisoners from hordes. She is a bit impulsive when she wants something, and quite pigheaded. She gets what she wants one way or another and because of her lack of friendships she doesn’t mind double-crossing nearly any beast. Morals are not her friend, she knows them well, but chooses to ignore them for the most part.
Strengths:
Extremely successful and skilled at thievery.
Very creative and innovative
Dedicated and therefore passionate about her occupation
Quite agile, very fast and an expert climber
Weaknesses:
A bit socially awkward.
Still in the process of learning combat.
Can become obsessed or transfixed by objects easily
Will behave recklessly at time to get what she wants
History: Rousalki had a fine upbringing until her mother died of sickness when she was four. After that her father continued to raise her. Her upbringing was not quite stereotypical, she was not an exceptionally social child, because after her mothers death it seemed to her that she brought bad luck to those she became close with. She was distant even with her father, who was too busy wallowing in self-misery to notice anyhow. However her lack of relationships with others did not affect her as it might some beasts.
When she was about thirteen her father left her without notice, she may have felt the sorrow of losing both her parents- one who chose himself to leave her, but it has never shown. Perhaps despite how she truly felt she took her fathers absence quite well and shrugged it off. A few days after he left her she abandoned their home and went in search for a life style of her own. Her first encounter was with a rowdy bunch of young vermin- they were pillagers and murderers, she found the actions quite distasteful but took away with her the ideas of thievery.
She moved onto a large village and began to steal small odd things just for herself, to test her ability. However she lacked a challenge and that frustrated her. When she was in her late teenage years she offered up her services for free to a ferret she had overheard speaking of taking from a rival his prize weapon. A free attempt was too good an offer to be put down but she was attempting to become known among possible employers. The theft was far to extreme for her considering her knowledge at the time- she did manage to take the sword from it’s owner but was quite nearly shot down in the process.
However the success paid off and her nickname (she uses ‘Rou’ among employers) became well known in the vermin community. She taught herself all the tricks she knows, invented her own methods and tools and has become quite successful. She has also made many enemies, but very few are able to recognize her and thus she meets little confrontation when she is out and about among others.
