Appearance / Personality: A dainty silvery shawl is draped around a rodentia's neck, as her dark-furred form runs upon pink claws in the night. Born to an urban nest, to a waterside clan of ratfolk and their pets, she is a creature well adapted to tight corners, secret holes and sections of architectural conglomerations rarely spied. Her long pink ears perk up and twist, to the sounds of a streetside wagon rattling along. Her tiny nose twitches, at the smell of a passer by's pie-in-hand.

Perhaps, unlike many ratfolk, young Jixel has retained more of her verminious heritage than most. Rather than being observed as a hairy mouse-headed human, she is more of a typical rat, though oversized and capable on two feet.

Her rounded body sees no purpose to the benefits of garb. Instead, she completes her tasks equipped more with tools, than with the comfort of clothes. A belt and dagger. A small leather case gripped in a tight clawed hand. The other, holding a long leather strap, attached to... yes... a chicken. Peekee is her best friend in all the lands. An avian creature once destined to be dinner, is now this ratfolk's path to survival and maybe even a vestige of power.

Background: Born in Estaby to a poor family of harbour rats, some of Jixel's older siblings quickly found themselves unknowingly assisting the Tyrants. Small and alert, perceptive and shrewd, her kind were perfect low ranking workers in a greater outfit's corrupted and criminal machine. Estaby, a known haven for smuggling and tax evasion was surely a worthy place for The Tyrants to take care of less Throneport-centric affairs. Who better to take responsibility and blame for some mundane yet risky tasks, than cash-strapped and oblivious locals? Without knowing, Jixel became part of an illicit, dangerous business.

She grew to be quite good at it, being a criminal and all. Mainly because she was smarter than most might assume. Knowledge and understanding were paramount, as was an ability to read between lines. The ratfolk girl was soon to be a true agent of The Tyrants. The practice of some of her family's traditions played a role in determining her future too. Jixel did her very best to learn the basics of alchemy, magic artifact operation, and even augury. It was the latter, that would eventually lead her to Throneport, and Peekee. Though unboastful and easily ignored, Jixel had proven her worth. She was offered a better future, and the prospect of "more valueable" work, should she relocate to The Tyrant's true capital.

Potential Hooks:
* She is caught up in a new mission for The Tyrants, that she does not fully understand. If she were to unravel the truth of her current operation in Throneport though, she would be presented with a challenging realisation. Perhaps her actions are indirectly harming her kin in Estaby? It could be about land aquisiton, simple exortion, or something else.
* One of her family might have recently gone to the "authorities" in an attempt to become a double agent. This brother or sister may have fled Estaby, and is actively looking for Jixel to warn her that some in The Tyrant's ranks, would see her dead, merely through association.
* Peekee is the ex-familiar of a powerful witch, who transferred her soul into the chicken at time of death (perhaps a murder in Undercliff). Peekee desires to bond with Jixel to a point that is strong enough for her to request some favors (centered around a proper burial for mortal remains, and a bit of revenge).
