Appearence

Standing at 5'6, Riley has short black hair and matching eyes. This is hard to see due to her preference for black trenchcoats over a black slacks and top. Alongside her trenchcoat is a matching hood and mask she wears over her nose. She wears a ruby ring that was a gift from her parents on her left pinkie. She has a small cut along the right side of her lips.

Personality (Major WIP)

Despite her look, Riley is very outgoing and friendly to anyone she meets. This makes her very trusting and to a point, naive to others to the point she seems unaware of her surroundings. Because of this, Riley is able to confuse or disturb others, making her unorthodox and out there. While outgoing, this allows Riley unusually perceptive and seem unassuming, but also childlike and highly immature for her age. This has likely mellowed out by her second job.

Riley also has a soft spot for children and animals, despising bullying and harm. When it comes to helping those she generally likes, she can surprisingly stop being an airhead and show open malice and preparation to kill if someone she cares for is in danger, as well as show maturity and a willingness to talk to others who are feeling down. By the second job and rather it's due to the serious nature of the job, or instincts, she can show a high distrust to anyone she meets, often due to the serious nature of the case,

She’s also not a picky eater, partially due to being raised by goblins and viewing all meat as meat, and not eating it before it goes to waste as disgusting and a waste of perfectly good meat. Because of this, she can partake in cannibalism or eating other sentient races as well as someone who would eat a hamburger and not see an issue with it. Despite this, she refuses to kill another sentient being for food. Despite this, watching someone die in front of her can be truamatizing and make her freeze in place.

Riley also has a distrust for wood elves, as her adoptive parents were killed by wood elves. She however, rarely allows that to get by when money is an option or something important is going on and views High Elves in high regards.

Backstory (Spoilers and Major WIP)

Raised by less-than-bright but well meaning goblins after wood elves attacked her family’s carriage, Riley was raised by a growing family which expanded from a single mother and father to 20 siblings. At some point, 18 of these siblings were slaughtered or died of natural causes, her parents as well. Mistaken for a stockholm shocked child, Riley was brought in and raised by a small family of assassins and spies. Teased and mocked for being known as ‘The Goblin Child’ and a mark on her head from a head injury, Riley was used to having food thrown at her and pelted with pebbles or even poisoned and attacked by her own new family.

By 16, the young woman would leave, aiming to find a new life in Meadowcraft. She’s been searching for the village ever since, even at the ripe age of 24.

Equipment

Riley typically dresses light, but is outfitted with a few daggers and a rapier for offense, a shortbow, and her family ring. She also carries a tent, bullets (despite lacking a firearm), as well as rope
