Backstory:
The details of Shula's birth and childhood are too horrific to detail, but she arrived in Absalom chained to the bowsprit of a Minkai ship, in place of a figurehead at the age of five. One of the crew set her free after a long night's terror listening to her descriptions of what she would do to him, and his family, and his friends and their corpses when she found her way free. The ship's captain hung the man as punishment for releasing Shula, but the story tells that he died with a smile on his face.
She quickly made a name for herself as a thief in the docks district, and by seven had been adopted into one of the thieves' guilds of the Precipice Quarter. At the age of nine, she joined a second guild, saying only "I won't be treated as a child." Of the members of the former guild, only one was ever seen again, a blind cripple begging in the docks, but he remembers nothing of his former life.
In the ten years since then, Shula has been arrested twice by the guard. Once, she escaped the prison through a long forgotten tunnel, and the second time she was released after a night with the city's torturers. They will not speak of what happened, but the guards on duty said that instead of howls of agony, they heard laughter and sighs of a more intimate kind.
She specializes in assassinations, but is not above thievery when it is called for. She no longer belongs to any one guild, but takes contracts where ever she finds them. She is called upon by those who are not satisfied with simply killing their enemies, but want to know they died slowly, in such pain and terror that they welcomed death.
