Background:
During a visit to Neverwinter as a Child, Charlene's parents were killed by thieves, She managed to flee and hide while the theives took what they wanted from her parents corpses. Stranded on the dangerous and cold streets of neverwinter she wandered alone. By luck she encountered a group of Children like herself (orphaned) and befriended them. She was taught how to pick pockets,pick locks and surive on the streets. As a halfling she was much smaller than the other children and her Innocent face and behavior earnt her the nickname "little Dove".
As she and her new friends grew older they became quite infamous on the docks of neverwinter (a Group of child pickpockets don't go unnoticed for long) and due to banditry,war and diesease their little group grew and they even found a abbandoned building to claim as home. Charlene began to notice that the younger children seemed to have a easier time getting gold and food due to the fact adults felt pity for them. Although older and begining to physically Develop she was still the same height if not smaller than most of them so she decided to Disguise herself off as one. As she walked the streets begging that day she earnt almost double what she was before she was disguised so she decided to maintain the disguise every time she went onto the streets.
one day as Charlene (now 18) was begging on the streets still disguised as a child a Noble Noticed her and how she blended with the enviroment,being ignored by most. He began to watch her and eventually found out she was Not a child (Due to a building in disrepair (// holes and cracks) and a bad choice of changeing room on charlenes part) and that she had a kind heart. A day after he discovered her true race he approached her in the street and claimed that he knew she was a halfling and that he had a Job suitable for her skills. With some consideration and a slight reluction she decided to hear him out. He took her to his home and told her that he wanted her to Spy on another noble for him and offered her a Large ammount of gold for doing such. She accepted
She started her new work straight away,Aquired her target and began to descreatly follow him, Finding out his House Symbol, How many guards he had,which places he frequented and who he met with, All of these things she was instructed to find out by the mysterious noble that contacted her. She began to notice her targets odd behaviour such as meeting shady looking men and handing guards large ammounts of gold. One day she decided to follow some of the men he met with. They went to the nobles home and after a brief talk and a exchange of gold they went arround the back door and picked up a tightyly wrapped bundle and threw it on a cart. She decided to follow it to the location it was heading to. It stopped shortly after leaveing the city at a large River. gently dropping down from under the cart (which she had clung to) she watched as the men took the bundle from the cart and threw it into the river (while they were distracted throwing away the bundle,charlene snuck to some neaby bushes to hide. As the men left she followed the river down and found the bundle washed up,looking arround she snuck up to it and unwrapped it, As she unwrapped it she noticed blood staining the fabric. Plucking up all the courage she had,she unwrapped some more to reveal the Face of a Young Woman,her throat had been slashed. With widened eyes she stood up and ran back to the city.
Upon Arrival she went back to the Noble that hired her and gave him all the details of what she had found. The nobles face grew grim and with a nod he began to speak. He told her that he used to have a wife,One day some men broke into his home,knocked him unconcious and took his wife,before he passed out he Noticed a symbol on one of the men,the symbol which Charlene had confirmed to be of the Symbol from of her targets house. With this Evidence the Noble begged her one more favor,just one more...To kill the Noble she was spying on.
He explained that the Noble pays men to kidnap women and deliver them to his home,after he has his way he kills them and has the body disposed of as Charlene had witnessed. He goes on to Exsplain that His wifs body was Found a few days after she was taken,She was killed in the exact same way the others were. He didn't trust the guards to deal with this matter as many of them were already in the employ of the corrupted Noble and that Only blood would suffice as punishment for his Evil. Charlene agreed to kill the Noble to make the place safer for all and to avenge his wife. Tears filled her contacts eyes and he thanked her for her kindness as she left he said "Go now, Child of Shadow, And bring Light to the darkness"
Charlene prepared for her task, Chageing into Black leathers and concealing her face she hid in the shadow of a alley in one of the areas her target frequently visited, As she exspected he came but he had Two of his guards with him. Muttering a curse word she continued to follow him in shadow until he seperated from his guards to answer the call of nature. This was what she was waiting for,she slipped past his guards and up behind her target as he was attending his buissness. she raised her dagger and plunged it into his back swifty multiple times, Her target managed to utter a screan before he died, he guards heard this and came running, Noticeing charlene they attacked. Rolling under their legs and severing one guards foort tendons as she passed under him she fled, the other guard in hot pursuit yelling to any other guards in the area. Now hunted by every guard in the city charlene Found a tunnel that the children had created as a bolt hole and hid. As things calmed down she changed back into her child disguise and left the Tunnel.
The Guards were still running arround searching for a Halfling Dressed in black leathers ,she slipped past them with relative ease and returned to the noble who hired her. Upon seeing her he let out a large sign of relief and hugged her. With Sorrow he appologised that things turned out the way they had and exsplained that neverwinter was no longer safe for her. He told her that he would arrange safe transporation out of neverwinter for her and to the City of Baldurs Gate. After saying her tearful goodbyes to the children she grew up with and went to the docks disguised as a child and met with a Sailor under the pay of the Noble who hired her. he helped her sneak aboard the boat bound to baldurs gate he was sailing on.
The Journey was cold,dark and lonely,stuffed in a cargo crate below deck. Charlene thought of her friends and her parents with tears in her eyes. eventually crying herself to sleep. She was Awoken when the crate she was in was moved,carried off the boat. After what seemed like hours it was pryed open by the sailor who snuck her on board. With the help of the sailor charlene climbed out of the crate and looked arround at the docks of baldurs Gate. After handing her some gold the noble had left for her the Sailor told her she should take some time to learn about the city and area as it was her new home. He left and a few hours later the Ship she came on was bound back to neverwinter.
So here she was. Once again alone in a big city, She walked off into the town,thinking of how she was going to make a new life here.
What happens now?:: Charlene Kept her child disguise and also her Child of Shadow disguise. She also decided to come up with a new one,So Amelia was Created. She Works as a Infomation Broker for good people in order to make the land a safer place for all.
