Thief 02 Character Skeleton

Character Overview
thief

Name of Character
Filah

Character Traits
bold, unexperienced, angry

Age & Gender
12, female 

Physical Description
Filah has a small frame which makes it easy for her to slip in and out of places unseen. Her skin is fair with a large number of freckles spreading over her nose and cheeks. Her cheeks are round, making her look more innocent than she really is, but her dark, almost black eyes hold a flash of anger deep within them. Her hair is dark brown, appearing black in certain lighting, falling away from her face in waves, parted down the middle. Her hands and feet are scarred and calloused despite her youth. She's also got a fair number of scars along her arms, legs, and back. Her eyebrows are as dark as her hair, almost darker

Clothing & Adornments
Simple clothes are Filah's favorite. They don't get in the way and don't get caught on things when she's sneaking in and out of places. She tends to wear dark clothing that covers as much of her skin as possible so she can hide easily in the shadows. While she has stolen several pairs of shoes, she tends to prefer moving around barefoot. Not only does it give her a better sense of her footing, but the sound of flesh against anything is quieter than the sound of the sole of a shoe against it.

Physicalities
Filah tends to walk in the shadows, hunched over to make herself seem as small as possible. Her feet are nearly silent when they touch the ground as she walks on the balls of her feet in an almost tip-toe sort of fashion. Her movements are fast and sudden, jerky in a way. When forced to stop moving, she tends to seem nervous, jittery and anxious to be on the move again. Her brows are almost always furrowed in frustration and anger.

Backstory
Abandoned at birth, Filah was raised as an orphan by the church until the age of seven when she ran away. At that point, she tried begging, expecting the people outside the church to be as nice as the ones who had taken care of her. They were not. Finding only cruelty out in the world, Filah turned cold and angry at the world, taking out her frustration on anyone within reach, stealing whatever she can from them. 

Emotional Arc
When the player meets Filah, she is trying to steal from him. The player catches her and she is obviously angry. If the player helps her, she will become slightly less angry with the world, thanking the player character for helping her.

Gameplay Element
Filah is an optional quest for the player.

Environment
Filah lives in a modern medieval world. It's a world based heavily on medieval culture but with most of the modern technology we have. It's a world similar to that of the world in A Knight's Tale with more technological advances.

Job/Work
thief - Filah spends almost all of her time on the streets, living and stealing to stay alive.

Speech Patterns/Dialect/Accent
When she speaks, Filah uses short, terse sentences. Her words have an angry snap to them most of the time. Despite her age, she is no stranger to using harsh language and often swears as much as a sailor.
