Name: Alystrix
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Physical Description: Short by human standards, moderately athletic build. Light pink hair and equally light blue-grey eyes. Favors a variety of clothing, relying on more revealing attire when working in the bar.
Alystrix ( or Aly as her friends call her ) is a city girl at heart. Adopted at the age of two from the orphanage in the northern part of Divinity's Reach, she has lived an average ( but rowdy ) life in the care of her merchant parents. Over the years, she has learned various tricks of the mercantile trade: trading, haggling, negotiating.. skills that when combined with her natural charm have helped her talk her way out of some fairly ugly situations. It helps that she had also developed a talent for elemental control which has given new meaning to the phrase "giving the cold shoulder" to more than one unruly customer who's hands wandered too far below the counter.
Now the age of eighteen, she works as a serving girl in the Busted Flagon tavern in order to help her aging parents with home expenses that have started to crop up. She also employs her elemental talents in a more artistic manner. Her affinity for ice has caused her to seek out a mentor in the art of sculpture and her work is usually the centerpiece of conversation in the tavern on the nights she actually presents something to the public. She is by no means a savant, however her work is "good enough" to generate some interest in the locals.
Being born and raised in the city, she has no illusions or mask over her eyes as to what really goes on in the darkened alleyways and behind closed doors. The recent rise in banditry and thievery in the area has begun to show it's face a little too close to home. With the already overworked Seraph spread too thin and the "city guard" conveniently showing up late, "Aly" has begun to see the old adage of "If you want something done right, do it yourself" becoming more and more of a reality for her.
Personality:
Alystrix is for the most part easy going and laid back. She tends to be a bit on the defensive and guarded side when approached by men, due to her experiences working in the shop and in the tavern. This tends to result in a snarky or sarcastic tone of voice and attitude until she decides if the source is genuine or just trying to get to the after hours special. Comments and remarks about her height from others of her race will illicit a similar response (She's well aware that -everyone- is short to a Norn)
