Background:
Daughter of a Lightfoot adventurer and Strongheart Innkeeper, she grew up working the dull job of a inn attendant in the secure city of Neverwinter, hearing of excitement only from her nostalgic father's stories.

Despite in looks taking more after the mother, she wound up with the same burning desire that led her own father to become an adventurer. Having learnt of many would be adventurers dying by her father's side without proper training, she wound up joining the city millitia at the twilight of her childhood, finally leaving the boorish family business to practice and learn the way of the bow and sword.

As a rather small member of a mostly human fighting force, she ended up tasked with being a lookout more than fighting. None the less, the time spent practicing gave her a good foundation to follow later in life

Just like innkeeping, she grew bored of being city watch, and after her unofficial retirement, not planning to sit out the contract, she took to the road and over time banded with the occasional vagrant and built up her skills as a hunter, finally taking a taste to big game hunting.

Goals:
  • Learn to effectively combat all the common and rare monsters threatening good people.
  • Master both the close and the distant fighting styles.
  • See sights no one else has seen.
  • Make a name as the Halfling slayer of great beasts
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
  • She's probably not very welcome in Neverwinter due to desertion, although the severity is very miniscule.
  • She ended up purchasing an exotic arctic wolf for no small sum as her companion.
  • Some of her books were borrowed. She didn't do it officially.

Edit: made her 27 after some consideration.
