Jayma is a small female gnome dressed in an impressive set of cutting-edge clothing of the latest fashion. The eyes are first drawn to her pixie-cut bright orange hair framing a beautiful, but strangely otherworldly face. They soon move to take in the multi-colored hooded coat covering a peplum bustier that barely conceals her ample charms. Her leather breeches and boots in coordinating colors complete the outfit. At her belt are two sheathed decorative daggers that show no signs of wear. Various pieces of jewelry can be seen attached to her clothing or on her fingers.

See Jayma in all her splendor

Moving unceasingly from one shoulder to another, occasionally diving into her coat or backpack only to quickly emerge elsewhere, is a white ermine with oddly intelligent eyes.

Persona Trait: Flirt
The public perceives you as the most romantic of the group, and you may be thought of as a seducer or vapid pretender who gets by on their looks and brings nothing of value to the party.

Jayma is a gnome noble princess from Brastlewark. A granddaughter of Drum Thornfiddle, King of the Gnomes. She is young, intelligent and beautiful, but with an awkward proclivity for magic and a wanderlust that conflicted with her duties as a gnomish princess. Upon the ascendancy of Abrogail Thrune II to the throne of Cheliax in 4709, Jayma found herself in serious peril. Only with the help of her halfling nanny and close confidant Astoria did she avoid an early death during the violent purge of non-Diabolists that followed. Astoria turned out to be an undercover Bellflower Agent, who helped spirit Jayma out of Brastlewark and then Cheliax. She ended up in Absalom where the vibrant theater scene appealed to her artistic tendencies. She's made a home for herself there, but can often be found adventuring around Golarion when the urge takes her. She's particularly fond of Osirion with its warm dry weather and has had many an adventure there. She generally avoids entering Cheliax, and absolutely avoids going anywhere near Brastlewark, in case she is recognized and returned to the court.

Courtly Graces Background (Noble)
You were raised among the nobility or have learned proper etiquette and bearing, allowing you to present yourself as a noble and play games of influence and politics. Unless you are intentionally presenting yourself differently, anyone who speaks with you will assume you are a noble or closely associated with the nobility (such as a prominent servant). You can use Society to Make an Impression on a noble, as well as with Impersonate to pretend to be a type of noble or a specific individual noble. If you use the normal skills in those situations, you receive a +1 circumstance bonus to the check instead.

Empathetic Plea ↺ L1: Ancestry
Trigger You are attacked by a creature that you haven't yet acted hostile toward. You must use this reaction before the creature rolls its attack.
Attempt a Diplomacy check against your attacker's Will DC.
Critical Success The creature pulls its attack, wasting its action, and can't use hostile actions against you until the beginning of its next turn.
Success The creature takes a –2 circumstance penalty to damage on the triggering Strike and all its Strikes against you until the beginning of its next turn. The penalty is –4 if you're an expert in Diplomacy, –6 if you're a master, and –8 if you're legendary.
Failure The creature's attack is unaffected, and the creature is temporarily immune to your Empathic Pleas for 24 hours.

Familiar (Ermine Familiar Twyl) L2: Sorcerer
You gain a familiar.

Dandy Dedication L2: Free Archetype
You become trained in Deception and Society; if you were already trained in either, you become an expert in it instead. You gain the Influence Rumor downtime activity.

Group Impression L2: Skill
When you Make an Impression, you can compare your Diplomacy check result to the Will DCs of up to 10 targets you conversed with, with no penalty. The number of targets increases to 20 if you’re an expert, 50 if you’re a master, and 100 if you’re legendary.

Adopted Ancestry (Halfling) L3: General
Choose a common ancestry or another ancestry to which you have access. You can select ancestry feats from the ancestry you chose, in addition to your character’s own ancestry, as long as the ancestry feats don’t require any physiological feature that you lack, as determined by the GM.

You can select four familiar or master abilities each day, instead of two.

Gossip Lore L4: Free Archetype

If you fail a check to Recall Knowledge with Gossip Lore, you get the effects of the Dubious Knowledge skill feat. If you have legendary proficiency in Society, you gain expert proficiency in Gossip Lore, but you can’t increase your proficiency rank in Gossip Lore by any other means.

Distracting Flattery ↺ L4: Skill
Trigger You observe a target’s attitude toward yourself or your allies decrease as a result of an ally’s behavior.
Make a Deception check against the target’s Will DC. Regardless of your result, the target is temporarily immune to your Distracting Flattery for 10 minutes.
Success The target’s attitude doesn’t decrease as a result of your ally’s social blunder.
Failure The target’s attitude decreases as normal.
Critical Failure Your attempt makes matters worse, decreasing the target’s attitude toward you by one step, in addition to any changes from the behavior that triggered this reaction.

You can reroll the triggering check, but you must use the new result, even if it's worse.

Advanced Bloodline L6: Sorcerer
You gain the advanced bloodline spell associated with your bloodline.

Acrobat Dedication L6: Free Archetype
You become an expert in Acrobatics. At 7th level, you become a master in Acrobatics, and at 15th level, you become legendary in Acrobatics. Whenever you critically succeed at an Acrobatics check to Tumble Through an enemy's space, you don't treat the enemy's space as difficult terrain.

Group Coercion L6: Skill
When you Coerce, you can compare your Intimidation check result to the Will DCs of up to five targets instead of one.
It’s possible to get a different degree of success for each target. The number of targets you can Coerce in a single action increases to 10 if you’re an expert, 25 if you’re a master, and 50 if you’re legendary.

Fleet L7: General
Your Speed increases by 5 feet.

Arcane Evolution L8: Sorcerer
You become trained in one skill of your choice. Additionally, you can use arcane arts to tinker with your selection of spells. During your daily preparations, you can choose one spell in your spell repertoire to be a signature spell that day. You can use the Learn a Spell activity to add more arcane spells to the list you choose from, but if you prepare a spell that isn't in your repertoire, you temporarily add it to your repertoire at the spell rank of your choice instead of making it a signature spell.

Dodge Away ↺ L8: Free Archetype
Trigger You are the target of a melee attack.
Requirements You're aware of the attack and aren't off-guard.
You gain a +1 circumstance bonus to AC against the triggering attack. If the attack misses you, you can Step after the Strike. If you're a master in Acrobatics, you can move 10 feet for this Step instead of 5 feet.

Adopted Ancestry (Human) Free L9: Ancestry (Cultural Adaptability)
Choose a common ancestry or another ancestry to which you have access. You can select ancestry feats from the ancestry you chose, in addition to your character’s own ancestry, as long as the ancestry feats don’t require any physiological feature that you lack, as determined by the GM.

Toughness Free L9: Ancestry (Cultural Adaptability - General Training)
Increase your maximum Hit Points by your level. The DC of recovery checks is equal to 9 + your Dying condition value.

Signature Spell Expansion L10: Sorcerer
You gain two additional signature spells, each of which must have a base rank of 3rd or lower.

Tumbling Opportunist ◇ L10: Free Archetype
Requirements Your most recent action was to Tumble Through or Tumbling Strike, and you successfully moved through an enemy’s space.
You attempt to Trip the enemy whose space you moved through. You can use Acrobatics instead of Athletics for this check.

Shameless Request L10: Skill
When you Request something, you reduce any DC increases for making an outrageous request by 2, and if you roll a critical failure for your Request, you get a failure instead. While this means you can never cause your target to reduce their attitude toward you by making a Request, they eventually tire of requests, even though they still have a positive attitude toward you.
