Karlin

Personal Information

Appearance

quite short in stature she is fine boned and carries little excess weight her hair is cropped just bellow her ears and is a brownish blonde in color. she wears a long skirt and a scarf covers her hair. Her eyes are are green but have been known to change in response to her mood She carries a small dagger at her waist, and also a thick book bound in black leather which if you glance inside contains a strange version of shorthand that would take a significant amount of time to decode (or atleast she hopes it would). she has a pencil which she carries usually behind her ear and unless it is activly pointed out she will not surender it as a weapon. after all only an idiot would think a pencil could surfice for a stake, far to fragile.

Smiles are not uncommon but usually she shows little expression though she keeps her head high unless in the company of one clearly above her such as the prince,the keeper of elysium or possibly the sheriff.

Personality

Quick witted and curious she exibits many of the traits of a good mekhet and a better spy but she is also very loyal to those worthy of her trust, and especially to those she considers family. She is quiet prefering to listern rather then speak but this should not be mistaken for shyness she will quite happily stand up if she thinks she has something to add to the situation or conversation. She is pasionate and meticulose not the type to give up on something once she gets started,and though she is not the kind to pick a fight, prefering to sit back and watch the outcome and tactics of the combatants she is not above leaving a dagger in someones ribs if the need arrises, preferably from the shaddows, though if it gets to that stage there is probably little chance of her surviving, she prefers the games of pollitics.

Mortal World

At the moment she has few connections after being forced to cut and run from her old identity.

Quotes About

"You may certainly have a word in private with my Childe, however as she is unreleased at this time, it is my duty to be in attendance for this private audience"

- Alim Al Rashid to his Grandchilde and Karlin's Nephew, Tybalt.

"She is quiet, and nervous, and studious. She wishes to go about her duty before the Most Merciful, and does not wish to attract attention. She's just like me, and thus every intrusion thrust upon her cuts me as it does her. I am sorry, little sister and daughter, for the burdens you will have to bear, but Allah needs you right where you are."

- Fatimah al-Mu'allima

"She's weak. Like Grayson, or Fatimah. But she's a Lance, and we need those like her for the pathetic sheep who can't turn back from fear, but need guidance from a shepherd. She better fight for that sire of hers though, because if she can't, I'll do it for her. And when that's done, I'll box her myself so she can think on her failure as a childe."

- Nyx

"We don't get wiser as we get older, our deaths have locked us in place. But, we do learn to avoid or raise a certain amount of hell. Depending on which we prefer."

• - Wait For It - Hamilton "My grandfather was a fire of brimstone preacher,But there are things that the homilies and hymns won't teach ya.My mother was a genius my father commanded respect. When they died they left no instructions. Just a legacy to protect. Death doesn't discriminate Between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes and we keep living anyway. We rise and we fall and we break and we make our mistakes.And if there's a reason I'm still alive when everyone who loves me has died I'm willing to wait for it."

Quotes

• "Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones." - Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus

• "Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God." - Hippocratic Oath
