Name: Mirael Sala
Nickname/Alias: Eight
Age: 25 years
Race: Mix Blood (elf+shapeshifter)
Height: 163 cm (5'4")
Weight: 59 kg (130lbs)
Occupation: Travelling freelancer
Personality: Self-assured and mannerless. She thinks much of herself, despite usually being quite self-aware. Though occasionally prone to making more or less playful jabs at people, she prefers to finish any business interactions with minimum fuss, and doesn't usually stick around for long once done with what she came for.
Distantly interested in people, she likes watching them and trying to mentally pick them apart. Has a sense of humor that can be both twisted and immature. She is detached from society, and cares very little for its norms. Prone to oddball obsessions.
History: Born as a half-blood bastard, she was unceremoniously exiled from her blood-purist clan of origin, and dumped on the porch of a certain, now long-gone orphanage before she had her first birthday. Growing up knowing nothing of her shapeshifter clan heritage, she formed bonds with the other children within the orphanage.
One night, the orphanage was set on fire, and though they survived, the orphans that lived in it were left without a roof over their heads. They became a street gang, every now and then having to resort to petty theft and other crimes to get by. This was when she started learning how to handle small, bladed weaponry.
As years went by, the gang slowly dispersed, every member spirited elsewhere by their individual goals, and the desire for a better life. She was eventually left by herself, the only one to haunt the streets. In the end, even she left the area, however, finally rising to the challenges of the larger world, and the societies within.
Needless to say, this didn't come without its own shocks and failures. Suddenly, she found herself in need of things like linguistic skills, and the ability to read at a level beyond her grasp. Initially reluctant, she started trying to learn, and discovered she isn't half-bad at learning spoken language through practice and repeated exposure.
Writing and reading have been beasts of their own. While she has managed to become decent at reading, her writing skill could definitely use work, even still.
Appearance: Fair and of average height, she has some tone on herself. Her fingers are ever-so-slightly longer than should be proportionate, as are her legs. She has pointy ears. Her arms, hands and fingers are littered with small scars born from mishandling of knives earlier in her life. Her hair is light blue and purple, around shoulder-length, and her eyes are an eerie light green.
It's uncommon to not see her wearing her high-collared, offensively red cloak, which may make her seem like more of a mage than she is. The rest of her outfit - her shirt, vest, pants and boots - are black and red.

Abilities:
Good Hearing - Thanks to her mixed lineage, she possesses sharp elven hearing. It makes her able to hear things such as people speaking in lowered voices around a corner with no trouble.
Speed - Her speed lets her dodge twice as fast as an average man would, while she can strike thrice as fast. Slippery as an eel, she moves the best in enclosed or cramped areas. She's capable of sprinting very quickly for a few meters.
Shapeshifting - Being a half-blood shapeshifter lets her change her appearance. This is limited to humanoid transformations. As such, she cannot shapeshift into an animal. While she can change several things about her appearance, including her sex, she is incapable of turning her skin or flesh into anything like rock or metal. She cannot grow extra limbs, nor can she retract any of her limbs to mimic amputation.
Equipment/Weapons:
Two iron daggers (one visible, one hidden)
Five iron throwing knives (concealed)
Light padded cloth armor
