Description:
Daria is a Halfling, at 2ft 9 and 28 lbs. However, possibly by some genetic chance, some typical features of her race are missing. Her ears are only very subtly pointed, and her feet never took to growing hair. In fact, she looks very much like any human child would. Taking advantage of that, she dresses in a childish fashion, has wild, untamed brown hair and eyes that always seem to look for the next opportunity to play a prank. History/Background:
But that childish look is just an act. In fact, she's a travelled and very smart Halfling woman. But she soon learned that more often than not, it can be a boon not to be noticed. People get careless. She grew up among human children, and back then it annoyed her that adults did not seem to take her seriously when she grew older. But soon after she left home, she discovered that it was very easy to take advantage of this. People let their guard down when only children were nearby. She stole, she blackmailed, she cut purses. Most of the time without any problems, and the one or two times authoritys picked her up, she managed to get away with a slap on the wrist, being the poor street child that only wanted food. This all turned sour when a Blackmail attempt on her part went wrong big time. Unknowingly, she attempted to extort money from a local crime boss. When she went out of her hiding spot to pick up the money, she found some of his man were waiting for her under magical cover. They brought her to him, and he decided Daria had too much potential to kill her over this. Henceforth, she was forced to run errands for him. Smuggling illegal goods, digging up dirt on local leadership, all kinds of things. She disliked this work, her payout was low and some of the things she was forced to do really hurt good people. While she had little qualms about taking what she needed by trickery and finesse herself, this felt utterly different. Killing a puppy to send a message? That had nothing to do with living free. But the crime lord had assured her that his resident mage would be able to track her down if she ever left, and there were other ways he could turn a profit using her, chained to a wall in a cellar. Not wanting to even imagine what he meant, she did as she was told, but kept a close watch on the mage whenever she could. She always enjoyed reading about faraway places and old stories, but now, she also started reading up about magic, hoping to find some way she could make sure that old fart would not be able to track her if she left. She also pondered getting herself arrested on purpose, or turning herself in. But she did too many things, was in too deep, to hope she would come out of this unscathed. So her errands and her research went on for several month, and crime became so prevalent that the city was forced to bring in reinforcements. Among them, a young human Captain that happened to be from the same village as her, a former childhood friend of Daria. When soon after these soldiers arrival she got an order to slip poison into the barracks food, to make an exempel of them for any future would-be meddlers, she instead secretly met up with her human friend and told him her story under cover of confidentiality. He reported upwards asking for a deal for this crown witness, and together with his superiors a plan was devised that would bring down the local crimelord and his closest henchman.
That is how Daria came to Quantium, and came to work for the City Watch there. They also quickly found that her ability to infiltrate and work undercover was incredibly helpful. During her off times, Daria learned and learned in the Archives and Libraries. She had not yet really found friends here, and many things seemed alien, but books, they were reliable everywhere. It was ...good. Not how she imagined her life to be, but no real reason to complain. Then, one day, she got told she would be transferred to another department. Personality:
Daria is a very smart person, but out of habit, is not always acting the way, sometimes being slightly impulsive or not thinking things through properly. She is very helpful towards others, especially towards collegues that her life may depend on. She knows that in a battle, she will only just barely pull her own weight(as little as that may be), and thus makes sure to contribute as much as possible outside of these confrontations. She is generally a good sport and can't hold a grudge over small things. During her off-hours, she will usually be found in a library, or spending her salary on books.
As she often is out on the streets pretending to be a child, she also kept a very playful nature. This includes gambling with colleagues- |
