Last Name: Undisclosed
Aliases: Acorn; Lemon; Stop, Thief!
Appearance
Very often clad in featherlight leathers with natural colourings, this rather enigmatic hin keeps modest track of her appearance. She is hardly extraordinary in beauty, having only a rugged, well-travelled exterior evidenced by her weather-hardened, sun-kissed face and neck-length crop of auburn hair. Her hazel eyes are attentive, sharp and cautious.
She has a clear penchant for portable property, given the number of necklaces, bangles, rings, earrings, noserings, jewels and other bling she has on her person at any time, although the most of it is discreetly hidden away beneath leather gloves. She does not often wear exposed jewellery, like bangles, when she is out on a job because of her bracers take pride of place on her forearms.
Her two most distinguishing features are her Turmish accent of trilled Rs and throaty Zs, and her shortbow which never more than arm's reach away from her at any time.

Personality Profile
Acorn is vocally reserved and wary, her keen eyes ever on the prowl for her next pocket to pick, or perhaps one of her previous victims, in which case she will slink aside into a crowd or vanish into a dark alleyway. She is an excellent skulker and occasional sulker, not always being appreciative of attention sent her way. She has a penchant for risk-taking behaviours and deeds of daring-do.
She seems proud of her accomplishments in archery especially, boasting at times that she could outshoot even an elf. Where, exactly, she acquired her skills she has not yet revealed. As a bow-for-hire, gold is the language that speaks most to this gypsy hin.
General Health: Unknown Acorn claims to have been bitten by several wraith spiders during a foray into Durlag's Tower some months ago, although what actual effect it had on her remains to be seen.

Background:Claiming to have arrived by caravan from the region of the Vilhon Reach, this enigmatic gypsy figure keeps her cards close to her chest most of the time, except when she is gambling. The only person who seems to have encountered her with any great measure of frequency is the owner of the Friendly Arm Inn, Bentley Mirrorshade, who also has little else to reveal about the hin besides the fact she loves drinking brandy.

Misc Facts
When asked for her name she simply tosses an acorn at the asker, never actually answering the question.
Acorn defeated Thayan Knight Boris Vyacheslav in an orc hunting contest, a matter she refuses to let the knight forget any time soon.
It is rumoured that the gypsy rogue disappeared for a period of months after a (presumably failed?) venture to Durlag's Tower, claiming to have fallen prey to wraith spiders. How she actually survived is anyone's guess.
