Here's my character story I'll send the portrait later :)
Wandesii Trickfoot
Appearance
Wandesii is 25, barely a young adult for a halfling. She has black hair, brown eyes, and a distinctive mark on her face, a reminder of the human owners she once had. She is about 3 feet tall and slim for a halfling. She is normally in her leather armor, carrying a beautiful quiver engraved with pictures of plants and a finely-made bow. She purchased these items with the money she acquired when she escaped.
Background
She was born a slave in the city of Kantaria in Cheliax. The halfling served in her master’s hunting lodge in the forest of Barrowood. As was common with other slaves, she was tortured and branded. Three simple rules were etched into her young mind: 1) Do not steal from your master, 2) Do not try to escape, and 3) Obey your master’s every whim. Her master made an example of her sister as a warning to any who would ignore these rules. A simple accident while serving dinner to some guests cost her sister a beating that forced her to limp the rest of her miserable life.
With a heavy heart, Wandesii decided to abandon her sister and seek out a better life. She stole a few pieces of jewelry from her master, including a precious ring and left that very same night. The halfling knew that she’d just forfeited her life and anyone in Cheliax would turn her in for a reward. Her fellow slaves told her to head east where she would find help but she had 500 miles of dangerous country to cross. So she stayed off main roads and limited her contact with people, forcing her to live of what she could scrounge from the land. She endured many days without food and barely drinking water from questionable sources. At last Andoran welcomed her tired feet.
While in Andoran, she came to embrace her new found skills and hired herself out as an outdoors guide. She honed her skill with a bow and put her natural stealth abilities to good use. It was in one of these outings that she met Professor Lorrimor. She served as his guide in the Arthfell Forest. With the professor being an ardent anti-slavery supporter, he became very interested in her first-hand experiences as a slave. In turn, the professor taught her about other lands he’d traveled to and their particular history [Teacher’s pet: Kowledge (History)]. They struck a friendship that lasted many years. It was with a sad demeanor that she received the news of her friend’s passing.
Personality
Years surviving in the wilds made Wandesii a tough Halfling who can speak for herself and doesn’t need people to look after her. In contrast to her former slave life, she doesn’t let small things ruin her fun. She believes that her former master has sent people after her to recover his precious ring and so is a bit paranoid near new people. She never sold the signet ring fearing people would recognize it and seize her on the spot.
One of the few positive things to come from her slavery is her cooking skills. She’s a bit annoyed when people stare at her ‘slave’ brand on her right cheek.
