== Backstory ==
===Early Life===
Born in Barrowrock Edge, a large town north of Val-Adin, Aileen was one of fifteen, with seven other brothers and seven other sisters. Aileen was well-known around Barrowrock, and not for the right reasons. She was known as a renegade and troublemaker, getting into fights daily with other children and pranking her teachers. Aileen's parents chalked it up to wanting to stand out amongst her community, but most importantly her siblings. The Locket's lived a comfortable, modest life, and the peace and quiet left Aileen wanting more. More than a quiet homebody life.


To pull her own weight around her household, Aileen quit school and took up a job mining for the Barrowrock Coal Mining Company. Coal and minerals were one of Barrowrock's largest exports, so they were in constant need of around the clock workers. Aileen fit right and within a few months was in charge of her own mining crew. The years spent in the mines were some of the most fulfilling for Aileen, who grew into a stout, chiseled woman by the time she left. One of Aileen's crew members, talked about the world outside of Barrowrock. A world outside of hammering away at hunks of rock and ore. When Aileen was old enough, she decided to hang up her pickaxe and hat and explore this world.


===The Circus Kid===
Aileen took up various odd jobs to pay for all the traveling she did. Eventually she settled down with notorious entrepreneurs, Barnaby and Theodore Bixton, Bill and Ted. The Goblin brothers were running a circus with a few friends and had enough run-ins with bandits on the road they decided to hire some bodyguards. Aileen was one of three bodyguards for Bill and Ted, and since her hiring, very few even thought of robbing Bill and Ted. Lest they tussle with the likes of Aileen's tree-trunk-like arms. On the side, Aileen trained in acrobatic acts in the circus with Bill and Ted's feisty circus bear, Wotjek. Aileen and Wotjek eventually went on to begin performing circus acts with one another, as the Circus Kid and Bear.


==Summary==
===Croak and Dagger===
Aileen joined Croak and Dagger after she and Wotjek were separated from the circus troupe during the events of Cataclysm. After she found out that one of her oldest traveling buddies, Barbatos, had joined their ranks earlier, Aileen saw it as a sign that she should too. With Croak and Dagger, Aileen found her calling. Aileen's feats of strength and bravery in the face of even the most terrifying enemy, earned her the nickname the Shield, from her biggest fans. Aileen wasn't without fault, and made mistakes like any regular person. But she owned up to every single one of them. After a horribly one-sided deal between Shar and Clymene, Aileen saw her life ticking down. Given just 3 days to live, Aileen went on to drink, laugh, and dance her way until her very last day. With her girlfriend Sam holding her hand, watching the sun go down in a field of grass, Aileen passed away. But some say that's not where her story ends...


==Abilities==
'''Wall of Iron.''' Aileen displayed incredible feats of strength while under pressure. Thanks to her heavy armor and skills with a shield, Aileen was capable of withstanding even the mightiest of blows and locking down an area for her party members.


'''Circus Performer's Agility.''' Aileen's time in the circus gave her the edge she needed in vaulting, somersaulting, and mounted-combat whether it was in front of an audience or under pressure in the heat of battle.


==Relationships==


==Appearance==
'''Aiden''' - "Ahh... I know I talk a lot of shit about him and goad him on, but it's 'cause I like the guy. Aiden's got looks that kill, and I do mean that literally. He can be pretty boss and be up my ass a lot, but I know it's 'cause he cares. Don't underestimate him, Aiden's really nice when he wants to be, but fuck with us, and he'll tear your throat out."


Dirty blonde hair, though despite being a mountain dwarf she keeps herself well-maintained. If anything she's more like a normal human with how she presents herself if you disregard her shortness. Her height is of traditional average for dwarves being 4'4. She's quite fit and shows feats of having worked in mines for many years and furthermore for being a guardian of a carnival.
'''Andol''' - "Pretty Boy? Hahaha... oh man... if I had an ounce of style that Pretty Boy had? Watch out ladies. But the whole thing about underestimating Aiden? That goes double for Andol. He might be softer than a pillow full of feathers but he's smart. Crafty. I have got to get the name of his tailor...but anyway--- Andol has pulled my ass out of the fire more times than I can count. He just...sees and knows things...he's patient. I could learn a thing or two from him. Just, don't tell him I said that, yeah?"


'''Barbatos''' - "Big Green Meathead! Barbatos picked me up a few weeks after I left Barrowrock. He's the one who trained me in swords, shields, and being an all-around badass, so yeah. He sent me an invite a while before the whole sky opened up and said I'd find some good people with the group he was already with. Of course, by the time I got there...the moron up and gets incinerated. He's...He was a great friend. The greatest friend. If Barbatos found Croak and Dagger important enough to die for, then...then yeah I'll stick around for a bit. See if I can't do the same? Just...without the dying part hahahaha!"


==Personality (WIP)==
'''Bill & Ted''' - "Look, I know they come off as greedy little dirtbags. But trust me when I say, they're good people...goblins...whatever. Bill and Ted pretty much took me in when I had nothing, no food, clean clothes, or any talents outside of just smashing rocks. But they made it work. Found something for me to do, and never asked me to do anything I wasn't comfortable with. You guys see Bill and Ted the businessmen, I see Bill and Ted the brothers. The guys who started with nothing just like me. The guys willing to take a chance on a nobody. So, I love them, and if anyone wants to smear them, I'll smear you. We clear?"


Eager for adventure and optimistic in life! Though she wasn't exactly the happiest person back then. Her confidence had grown since working at the Carnival, though things have reset back to zero.
'''Charles''' - "What a big neeeeeerd, hahaha looooove you Charles! So yeah, Charles reminds me a lot of my dad. He's always doing stuff for people without asking for anything back. Doing stuff on his own. Sometimes...Sometimes pushing himself. A lot. Charles is my dude, the hookup for some sweet shit to cleave meatheads in two with. But he's also like...really easy to talk to? Charles never looks like he's judging you or anything...he just listens. Chill guy, super big nerd."


It's not difficult to see she's quite cynical during the events of the Catalcysm. With the loss of two close friends in a row when the latter could've been avoided. She's quite selfish and has a focus on self-interest, prioritizing her own survival several times and even hesitated to save someone at the cost of a weapon. She had thought endlessly that the world was against her and that people were frustrating, leading to quite a bleak outlook in life and an overall unfriendly at times vibe.
'''Omerok''' - "Uncle O! Omerok still remains the chillest, coolest dude. No, I'm serious, if you got beef with Uncle O, you got beef with me. I mean, no matter where we're at, no matter what we're doing, even if we're hanging from a freaking cable car over Hell...Omerok keeps his chill. There's not a single person Omerok hates, I don't think. Finds the good in people. Refuses to only see the bad and that's...that's just really cool you know? I have got to ask him one of these days to hook me up with a sweet t-shirt."


She has since then gotten better thanks to both inspiring words from Cloak and Dagger's finest members (all of them) and Logan's encouragement and the end of the apocalyptic event. She had moved from the way of striking back at those that are a threat to her, to instead wielding a shield to defend those who she can care for.
'''Clymene''' - "I don't think I've met anyone that's as hard on themselves as Clem is. She's like, really hard on herself. I wish I knew what to say but like...I don't know...you know? Clem was always super, super nice to me and building me up, and pulling me out of slumps. I wish we... talked more...? Like, we don't say much to each other and I don't know if that's because of something I'm doing...or something with her? She stares at me a lot and it's...I don't know. Ha...look Clymene, I wish you'd start seeing yourself the way you see everyone around you. That you'd find your center....and I think you will. It just takes time."


 
[[Category:PCs]][[Category:Fighters]]
===Generally===
 
Aileen is usually a passive person, finding little reason to join in on conversations unless forced to act. Though she is eager for adventure, much pressure and concerns had left her doubtful and hesitant to the call of adventure. She finds little reason to trust others unless exposed to them enough, even struggling to convey proper words to calm down an angry child and managing to make one cry. But to the people she know well, she finds them reliable and hard to distrust. She is also a money grubber though for the reason of sending it repeatedly to her family from her home village, having never once stopped sending her own earning to them.
 
Immediately panics if ever in the center of attention, instances being the debate to get the Conclave to aid them and even in the gift giving for Wintershield.
 
She dislikes being poor and wishes to help those who are suffering, if not for the fact that she and her family are not in a good financial position.

*'''Aiden Thorin''' - ???
*'''Andol Thorin/Andol the Magnificent''' - She didn't know why Barbatos gave him his belongings and holds doubt on his reliability as a person initially. That changed very very quickly. She thinks of Andol as a friendly and amusing person who had always found a way to cheer everyone up, and had always risen again and again from being struck down. She values his intelligence and thinks of him as an opportunistic but well-intentioned individual and has always been curious about the concept of Goar. She is both horrified and amazed by the fact that he tried to change his close friend familiar into a deity of some sort
*'''Barbatos the benign''' - Crush.
*'''Caelrogh Soledad''' - She greatly despises him upon discovery that he was the one who killed Barbatos. Though being struck down with a single attack from him shook her, she never lost her hatred against him. However, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of pity for ''Carlos''' fate.
*'''Charles Harper''' - Thinks of him as an immense nerd. An immense nerd who helped Barbatos and thus someone she is thankful for. Having been dealing with the shenanigans of the group for so long, she has much respect to him. With the discovery that Sam and him are siblings, she doesn't wish to anger him for dating his sister but a side of her does aim to troll Charles. She's also aware of the circumstances regarding William and their father, and has nothing more than respect for Charles and what he did for his family
**Wishes to find William
*'''Clymene''' - As one of the few who's been so kind to her and always concerned, Aileen is thankful for her but is self-conscious over whether she deserves that much attention from the elf. Though she thinks of her as a good person, Aileen takes note of how she's either surrounded by misfortune or causes some issues to herself. With how things are, Aileen wishes to be a shoulder for her to lean on after hearing everything that happened to her village and her overall life.
**A potential romantic interest perhaps
*'''Craig Firebrand''' - He's a friendly fellow. He really loves Wintershield
*'''Edgard Castille''' - No strong feelings
*'''Gulak''' - ''What the hell is this thing stay away from my money you parasitic Smeagle''
*'''Hildr Firebrand''' - She is not a fan of being the one who took off an arm of her friend and being someone who nearly knocked her down to the ground when mind controlled. However, she thinks of her as a cool person. Someone who's doing their best to remain a good individual despite everything that happened
*'''Logan Karstark''' - Thinks very fondly of him who helped her get her confidence back and be more positive against the world.
*'''Maribelle Blackpyre''' - Though she doesn't know Maribelle well, she thinks of her as a good person like any other Cloak and Dagger member. She sympathizes with a loss of a very close person to her and is more than happy to see her try to avoid death nowadays and even smile
*'''Marilka Thyrnmur''' - The person that made Aileen reconsider ever getting kids. Though off to a bad start, she doesn't hate the kid and is actually on the side that wishes to keep her safe with everyone rather than be left alone to herself with no role models whatsoever
*'''Omerok''' - The most levelheaded and friendly of the group. Just like many she thinks of him as the uncle figure of the group. If ever asked to describe who would be a true hero to her, Omerok would immediately be on the top of the list. Despite that, she wishes to get to know him more since it seems everyone doesn't know him as extensively.
**She hopes to give Godd to him in the case of any bad events.
*'''Quoruk Cluiekill''' - She only heard of him through Barbatos' stories but even that was minimal. She feels immensely guilty for not being able to pronounce his name
*'''Raiah Theron''' -
*'''Sam Harper''' - Sam is one of the few who stunned Aileen's worldview. She thinks fondly of Sam and considers her as a very friendly and nice individual and was frankly swept up by her nature. Though Aileen has cemented, through numerous stutters and near-fainting experiences, that she was only semi-ready for a romantic relationship, she certainly wouldn't mind in the future
*'''Sayrax''' - Thinks of her as the little sister of the group and someone everyone wishes to protect.
*'''Skulk Greymind''' - The dumbest and most sincere person she has ever met. Thinks very fondly of him
*'''Visera Malestorm''' - Has only heard from letters about Visera and a few chance encounters
*'''Ygrid Ironborn''' - She could only think of her as a respectable individual whose presence makes her too fearsome to approach. Further cemented by that brief 'spar' they had together.
 
 
==Trivia==
 
*For Halloween, due to not being able to afford pumpkins they have to rely on using large rocks for Jack-o-lanterns
*Incredibly horrible with names
**Even more horrible with kids
*Jokingly a few times she had remarked that Cloak and Dagger are great role models for kids. She currently regrets these statements
*She wants to go fishing somewhere and grab that boat that she dreams to ride on
*She once worked at a moving carnival with her bear, her objective being to become an amazing performer that would bring joy to everyone. It was a bit of a confident hitter to learn that she was a better guardian than her bear, and that Wotjek was a better performer than her.
*Has made a kid cry before

Mountain Dwarf, AKA ‘The Shield’

Appearance

Aileen was described as having well-kept, dirty-blonde hair and greenish eyes with an exceptionally tall, athletic build for a Dwarf.

Backstory

Early Life

Born in Barrowrock Edge, a large town north of Val-Adin, Aileen was one of fifteen, with seven other brothers and seven other sisters.
