Name: Roberta (Robin) Mercedie
Age: 22
Race: Human
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Silver
Height: Average
Weight: Light
Occupation: Adventurer/Thief/Treasure hunter
Language(s): Tradespeak and some Aleraran
Personality: Appears fun-loving and slightly dizzy to those that just meet her but while she are quite cheerful of personality underneath it all she is very cunning and manipulative, ruthless in the pursued of her goals. She is highly intelligent and observant and thus is very good at planning and finding her opponents weakness but is for the same reason easily bored and will often do things spontaneous just to make them more interesting. Absolutely loves challenges, as well as proving her skill and intelligence. Extremely confident, to the point of being overconfident and arrogant when she is not carful of it, a flaw she is quite award off for all the trouble it has caused her but has equal with trouble laying off.
She is very much an extrovert, outgoing and social, and is quite happy to help out people if she likes them, but tends to insult and probably rob those that she for some reason don`t. Have some morals that she sticks to but not as many as law enforcers would like. Have no problem steeling for fun and profit if she feels her victim can survive it and isn’t above bragging or flat out lying if the situation calls for it, but will generally stick to any bargain she makes. Her humor mostly depends upon her mood, usually quite lighthearted but can turn to the sarcastic when she’s grumpy or dark gallow-humor if she gets gloomy enough.
Loves reading of all sorts and is always looking out for new and interesting books on her travels that she can acquire. She is always eager to learn new things, but she generally don’t have much longtime patience unless she finds something abnormal interesting and thus will throw herself over new subjects but abandon them when she feels she has learned enough.
She always takes pains to remain calm and rational, especially in situation she actually finds terrifying (such as small, dark caves as she is somewhat claustrophobic). When working on problems she is methodical logical, not that one would notice from her constant jokes and off topic comments. She can be extremely talkative, something she dose deliberately both to have people underestimate her and keep herself detached from situations.
Her weaknesses are that while her easygoingness helps her get acquainted with people easy she quite easily dismiss people that she think is less intelligent than herself and thus end up just as easily underestimating people as often that they underestimate her. She also has a tendency to overestimate her own abilities and jump to quickly into new situations and as such get into trouble far over her ears. Her arrogance also tends to antagonize most people after her initial charm has worn off and she very few truly good friends, yet those she have she is very loyal to and will do almost anything for.
Appearance: Medium tall and lightly build with shoulder long black hair that she normally keep tied up and very clear silver grey eyes. Her skin is tan and she has a pale scar running down her underarm and a coppering on her left hand. She dresses commonly in dark traveling clothes with a grey traveling cloak.
History: Grew up as the youngest daughter of a wealthy merchant. Her parents, being very conservative, expected her to grow up into a nice and well-mannered lady, designated for a marriage to some other wealthy merchant’s son or possibly minor noble. They were not expecting much of her and to busy caring for their older children anyway so she was left largely on her own with nothing much to fill her time beside the occasional lesson in etiquette or writing and tea parties with other girls of her age. She was very bright already then and the lack of any sort of challenges or meaningful activities bored her immensely. She started making up her own activities; self-study in the library, exploration and amateur alchemy. Her family found this fascination with what they considered common work very odd for a young lady and continued to be quite dismissive of her efforts. She grew frustrated by it all and left home at age 16, not leaving her family more than a short note.
Life on your own was however far more difficult than she had anticipated living a essentially sheltered life with wealthy middleclass parents and in her first year on her on she soon ran out of money and luck, getting jailed once for pickpocketing and having to flee town on several occasion. Compare to her dull life before however she still found the constant challenge preferable still and was far too proud to turn back anyway. She lived off her wits and became after a period of trial and error a skilled thief, relying on her quickness and smooth tongue to get her out of trouble. Her fast progress however soon made just stealing for a living to repetitive a lifestyle and she started seeking out other challenges. She started traveling far and wide, seeking out fabled places and treasures. While at it she also started honing her fighting skills more and learned swordsmanship to better face whatever trouble she couldn’t talk her way out of. She took as easily to it as she did intellectual challenges, even if she isn’t more than averagely strong she is very fast, and started loving proving her skill in battle as much as her intelligence.
Currently she is rooming the word with no higher goal than seeking challenges and adventures, hopefully with some nice treasures in the end.
