Background:
A Gullykin local, Molly Longshot was given her first crossbow on her fourth birthday by her worldly grandmother. The baby hin took to shooting things in the backyard for fun every day. Her proud parents provided a never-ending supply of targets; bottles, cans, dolls, fruits, precious gems, and more were all given to "our little sharpshooter" to encourage her adorable hobby.
Soon, however, Molly grew bored with stationary targets. Squirrels and chipmunks soon learned to stay away from Molly's house . . . or die. Her family soon grew to miss the sounds of wildlife outside their windows.
At the age of sixteen, Molly joined the Gullykin militia, thinking that she would be able to find bigger and more exciting things to shoot there. She was thrilled to be given a standard-issue militia crossbow: a "grown-up" crossbow. She named the crossbow Leigh and they were pretty much best friends forever.
Sadly, Molly soon found that the Gullykin militia did not provide her with large and exciting targets on a frequent basis at all. In fact, there were a lot of things they would NOT let her shoot. The local squirrels were probably relieved.
Still, Molly served in the militia faithfully for several years. She practiced shooting religiously, and became a truly skilled sniper under her drill instructor. Molly even got to kill a few wyverns that wandered a little too close to town.
Eventually, however, Molly grew too restless to stay in Gullykin. She left the militia and set out on her own, determined to find exciting things to shoot every day.

Goals:
To find exciting things to shoot every day. Upgrading Leigh and making her the best that she can be.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
Molly is reasonably proficient at picking locks, as are most Hin. However, she is almost hopeless with traps. In the militia, Molly's superiors figured that she would always be nestled safely in a sniper's nest, far away from any traps. Hence, she received almost no training towards disarming them.
Leigh has gone through an extensive series of upgrades. She is now in her fourth iteration, and sports many magical features. Molly is very proud.
Molly can swim.
Molly is very excitable. But if she can be persuaded to pretend that she is in a sniper's nest, she can remain perfectly still and silent for hours.
She isn't very savvy when it comes to people.
Molly and Leigh don't like the undead.
Molly does enjoy life, and sometimes thinks about converting to Lathander. It sounds fun.
