Name: Niix Race: half elf Occupation: pick pocket Age: 18 - recently had a birthday

Niix was born to a human mother who was really nothing more than a simple farm girl. Her mother took over the family, being an only child, when her own parents died. She worked long hard days and went to town only on market days to sell her goods; vegetables, livestock and some hand-crafted items. Her favorite past time was whittling, a skill she began to teach her daughter.

Her father was, obviously, an elf. Her mother said a high-elf though that was never actually confirmed. He was probably a wood elf given that Niix herself was only around five foot three or four inches. Possibly taller if she ever wore shoes or anything with a heel.

At the tender age of six, Niix’s mother died after a long battle with a disease that caused her to cough up blood. The healers that Niix could coax into coming to the farm were not able to cure whatever it was her mother had caught so they made her as comfortable as possible, often administering drugs so the woman could sleep with the hopes that rest might cure the ailment. Niix was very young when her mother died. As such, she was unable to tend the farm and take care of herself. That didn’t stop greedy land owners nearby from laying claim to her lands and home. Niix was tossed out into the world without so much as a copper to her name.

So began Niix’s life of crime. She wasn’t old enough to ply the oldest trade in the world, but she was quick and had nimble hands. It was a very traumatic time in her life to be sure, but Niix wasn’t going to let that get her down. No, she was going to find her father even though she hadn’t a clue who he might be. So, after burying her mother in a pauper’s grave, the child set out on her mission. Getting better and better and picking pockets as she traveled. Apparently she wasn’t good enough because one day she managed to get her hand into the pocket of someone who was bigger and quicker than she was. It was sort of like Oliver Twist in a way. She was caught and taken in to a Boss’s network where she learned to pluck a wallet from even the tightest pocket. She learned to use slight of hand to divest a lady of a precious bracelet or ring with out her noticing. She learned to use her feminine whiles in other ways with the gents, leaving them in rather compromising positions while she rifled through discarded clothes for purses and other valuables.

But still, her need to find some semblance of family was not assuaged by this group of merry robbers. So she told the network Boss that it was time for her to leave. She left alright, with barely a coin to her name or clothes on her back but with plenty of bruises and ringing ears.

Somehow she made it to Kelay; mostly starved and not at all pleasant to be around. Baths weren’t exactly high on her list of priorities. She had heard rumors of elves and thought someone there might know who her father was; so far Niix hasn’t had a chance to ask around. She did lift a rather pretty pocket watch and shortly after ran into a lady (little ‘l’ not a big one) who says her name is Eleanor. Niix isn’t quite sure that’s her real name, but she seems interesting if a little scary. Maybe Niix will hang around and see where things go for now. Who knows, maybe she’ll even run into her father.
