Appearance

Physical Description

A little on the scrawny side but athletic and super toned. When in stealth mode, Kit can even look graceful – a gift from her elven ancestry.

Facial Features

Her facial features are delicate but more human than an elf - except for the high cheekbones and the pointy ears. She has a small scar on her left cheek in the shape of a teardrop.

Identifying Characteristics

A mane of red hair that is normally tucked under a hood. When her hood slips and her hair catches the light, it is a deep fiery red.

Physical quirks

A splattering of freckles across the bridge of her nose (when she was younger, she would try to scrub them off).

Apparel & Accessories

Kit dresses in glamoured studded leather that fits like a second skin and often falls asleep with it on. She tends not to wear jewellery much. If she does, it is functional and not for show. Unless she needs to don a disguise…

Special abilities

Sneak attack, Fey ancestry, Cunning action, Fast Hands, Second-story work, Uncanny dodge, Thieves' cant, City secrets, Darkvision.
Kit can also whistle really loudly.

Personal history

554 | Kit was born to a human mother and an elven father In the Free City of Greyhawk. She does not recall her father and assumes that her mother had a clandestine relationship with him. Her only memories of her mother include the smell of baking in her childhood home, being hugged with her face cushioned in her mother's ample bosom, and her mother's joyful laugh. Kit was a bright inquisitive child, and she knew she was loved. Around the age of five, Kit's mother died, but Kit was never told how.
 
559 | Kit was dumped at the City Orphanage in the Thieves' Quarters. What follows was a time she would gladly forget. Degradation, beatings, bullying – kids can be very cruel. Kit lost a lot of her inner light during her years at the orphanage, but she did learn to hide, make herself scarce and avoid attention.
 
566 | At age 12, Kit ran away from the orphanage to go live on the streets. After stealing something to eat one night, she was beaten up badly and left for dead. This may have been the end of her story if not for the kindness of a stranger who treated her wounds, gave her some food and a small bag of coins (Debt of Kindness 1). She later meets Bud, a fellow street kid, who helps her navigate her way around Greyhawk and teaches her to survive (Debt of Kindness 2).
 
567 | At the age of 13, Bud and Kit are recruited to the Thieves' Guild in the Thieves' Quarters, where they are trained in the ways of the thief. Kit discovered she has a natural gift for stealth and sleight of hand. She learnt some tracking skills – enough to find out the identity of the stranger who had shown her such kindness and used her new skills to keep tabs on him. She also befriended Cook (the cook at the guild), who taught her to read and write (Debt of Kindness 3).
 
572 | At age 18, Kit was asked to train new recruits at the guild in the art of lockpicking and pickpocketing. Kit also had an intimate relationship with Malone, the mistress of a noble. Tired of sharing Malone, Kit gave her an ultimatum and Malone picked the noble.
 
574 | At age 20, Kit met and married Jer Veruga, a forger and a fellow member of the guild. Bud and Jer's mother (Zia) were witnesses at the ceremony. Jer was good to Kit and for the next 18 months of her life, Kit considered herself happy …until Jeremiah was killed in a dodgy deal one night. Kit was distraught.
 
576 Present | Kit asks the guild for time off. Reluctant to let her go, the guild initially says no but she convinces them by promising to be back with treasures. Kit hears about a recently discovered Cairn in Diamond Lake that still holds riches and, after saying goodbye to Bud and Cook, she heads out to try her luck. Staying at the Feral Dog Inn in Diamond Lake, she befriends Jamis over ale, a deputy with Sheriff Cubbin's office. After an unsuccessful week of prospecting, Jamis puts her in contact with Mr Allustan who asks her to find Sheriff Cubbin and bring him back unharmed. Heading out with a mule, Kit tracks him down to a nearby abandoned mine just outside Diamond Lake. After bopping him on the head, she puts him on the mule slumped face down, gags him, and ties him down with a rope which is wrapped a few times around the mule and ends in a kind of messy bow on top. Heading back to Mr Allustan's house, the Sherriff falls from the mule a few times and eventually regains consciousness. Kit keeps bopping him on the head to keep him subdued and looking at him, she hopes she will still get the coin she was promised as he is looking a little rough. He has a couple of lumps on his head and some decent grazes on his face from falling off the mule and being dragged for a while…

Social Aptitude

Kit will never be the life of a party unless it is a role she has to play. Crowds make her skittish and being the centre of attention embarrasses her. One on one though, she can hold a conversation and does enjoy getting to know someone. Especially someone who has lived life and travelled.

Mannerisms

If she is bored, Kit will play with her dagger...throwing it in the air and catching it, spinning it on a table or sharpening it on a stone. It can be a little intimidating to watch.
Mostly reserved, she has chatty days where she will ask a lot of questions – on those days you may wish for the reserved Kit to reappear.
