Mental characteristics

Personal history

Grew up in Glentarvis with her elven mother and human father who ran a jewelry store in the city. Tadhg'elle's Mother, Kéy'wenis would craft the jewelry, while her father, Doran, would sell the items in the store which was the ground floor of the family's house in the city. While in Tadhg'elle's adolescence the family store was muscled in to and bought over by some more powerful merchants. The family was forced onto the streets and made to learn a living in any way they could where Tadhg'elle was more than willing to pull her weight.
It was while working and living rough that Tadhg'elle found Zerken Swiftwing, a thug through and through who saw the potential in Tadhg'elle and decided to take advantage of the poor girl. Zerken decided to take Tadhg'elle under his wing (his Swiftwing if you will) and trained Tadhg'elle in how to run cons, intimidate people and the basics on how to fight. Tadhg'elle found a liking to rapiers. They were long and pointed, perfect for fighting in the tight alleyways of Glentarvis where there was not enough room to perform strong slashes with weapons such as short swords. Running with Zerken did get Tadhg'elle in to trouble, however. She learned to disguise herself to go about unrecognized, or to set up scams. A favourite scam was to go into the richer areas of the city and pretend to be either a fictional barroness or a servant working for said barroness. Tadhg'elle had even made a ring and forged documentation to prove her fake identity. This went with other identities that Tadhg'elle had created for herself. Male, female, human, elf, half-elf, there was even a drow persona used from time to time when intimidation and fear was needed. Most of these personas had the forged documentation to support Tadhg'elle's claims to authenticity.
To help make money for her family, Tadhg'elle took jobs for Zerken Swiftwing and gave whatever she earned back to her parents, promising that one day they will have enough money not only to buy back their old shop and home, but enough to buy out the merchant that forced them on to the street to begin with. To keep her mind occupied Tadhg'elle on her down-time learned how to play the flute, the lute and the harp to provide entertainment to those she was friendly with, but also to make some legitimate money by busking on street corners and in taverns. Although Tadhg'elle learned to play the instruments she was not too comfortable with singing in public, but preferred to spin epic stories to entertain patrons. Tadhg'elle found that she loved to entertain people and as a result dabbled into illusionary magic to help a little flare to her performance. This also helped add to the disguises that Tadhg'elle wore when putting on a persona. This illusionary magic and Tadhg'elle's relatively playful nature allowed her to pull a lot of pranks and distractions that helped bring some joy (and some annoyance) to those around her.
Zerken Swiftwing was eventually caught by city guards after a heist went wrong and is now locked up in a jail somewhere or worse. The group disbanded shortly thereafter. Tadhg'elle is now wandering from place to place, making money however she can to get by. That would include scams, busking and being a travelling merchant.
