Background: The youngest daughter of a minor noble from the region of Cormyr she would often manage to eek time to herself after the more normal pursuits expected of a young lady. She spent this time with the master of arms and in amongst the stables where she quickly learned to handle a blade and a horse with ease. She progressed in all her studies regardless if they were widely known or not until such time as she turned 16 and was informed by her mother she was to marry.

As the youngest daughter it was her duty so she was told to improve the finances of the family. Her betrothed was three times her age, fat and ugly but also a rather rich merchant wanting to improve his social standing. Horrified at this prospect she begged her father not to make her got through with it. When it became apparent that she couldn't get out of it she made the hard choice to run away.

Disguising herself as a boy she ran as fast and as far as she could, managing to pick up work helping care for the horses on various trading caravans and eventually progressing to being a guard. She continued to hone her skills and learn new ones and after a few years she stopped travelling with the caravans although she still passed herself off as a man. She settled in a town and found herself occasionally capturing and handling in minor criminals amongst other guarding jobs.

She continued to do this for a few more years learning as she went, careful to judge her jobs well and not over extend herself past her skills. She also continued to pass herself off as a man and one of a lower class that she was. While the odd person likely suspected no one outright challenged her on this.

One fateful evening she found herself having drawn the attention of a couple of braggarts who left her with her throat slit in a back ally having bested her. As her life slowly trickled away a man called Zelan came across her. He managed to heal her and prevent her from dying and took her to a local tavern to try to heal her more. During this he discovered she was not the man he thought and in fact was a woman passing herself off as a man.

While she lay recovering he used his contacts and such to dig into why a woman might be passing herself off as a man. He has come right out and stated he knows who she is but she refuses to answer questions on it. They are both very tight lipped about what has exactly lead to them now travelling together but she feels beholden to protect him with her blades. As they moved town as soon as she was well enough and having had someone discover her real sex she now travels as the woman she is.

Goals: Her goals at present are rather simple. To keep herself alive, to keep Zelan alive and to not get her true identity discovered.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts: She has three older brothers and two older sisters. Her original name is Jasmine Morler. When acting as a bounty hunter and guard she travelled under the name of Nick Silverhorn.

Possible plot hook of any member of her family or the merchant still trying to track her down for running out on the marriage. Possible plot hook of any of the criminals or their friends and family she turned in for the bounty wanting revenge although of course they would be looking for a man. Possible plot hook of the event between her and Zelan which led them to travel together.
