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 listen 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 passionate, meticulous and stubborn not the type to give up on something once she gets started she will pursue a goal until it is completed to an ideal condition or it kills her. She has the tendencies of a martyr and sometimes needs some one to hold her back so she doesn't give up to much of herself in the goal of helping others.
