Lleweira
Appearance
Although Lleweira is perhaps not the most stunning nor the most striking character one will come across on their adventures, she presents herself as a friendly and pleasant person to be around. Often times, she will be found wearing neutral coloured, comfortable clothing, though she might dress-up on special occasions.
Warmly toned brown hair, that is occasionally streaked with sun-bleached strands, frames an oval face with quizzical, amber-brown eyes, almond in shape. Lleweira has high cheekbones, and while her ears are the same size as the average human's, they come to a slight point at the tips.
Llew is on the shorter side, standing at about 5'2, though she is not petite and appreciates good food and drink.
Her feet are not hairy like a full-halfling, but they are long and narrow, and more oft than not, are enveloped in a pair of comfortable, dark leather boots that have a slight heel. Overall, her frame is well proportioned, balanced, and more nimble than it might appear.

Skills and Abilities
Lleweira is a woman of many interests, and as such, she has a wide variety of skills at her disposal; a jack-of-all-trades, almost-master-of-some if you will. Being on the road for a few years, she has learned a multitude of simple trades, is skilled with her hands, and is a quick study when she is challenged with something new. She is rather creative and resourceful and will find ways to create most tools that she needs with whatever is around her. During her upbringing, she was taught a variety of survival skills; hunting, fishing, tracking, basic knowledge on edible & medicinal plants, cooking, how to make temporary shelters, and other bushcraft skills, to name a few, along with other skills she has picked up since hitting the road.
Llew is naturally gifted with a warm, even seductive, alto voice, with which she can sing well enough to earn some coin, along with excellent senses of sight, hearing, scent, and taste. She is also blessed with luck, though it can have a round-about, and odd way of showing itself.
Melee-wise, Llew prefers to keep some distance between her opponent(s) and herself, or even avoid conflict all together, since her small stature lends itself to being easily over-powered. However, there have been times where she has been pressed, and as such, she has learned her way around a bow, as well as staffs and spears. Still, if Llew fails to keep her foe at a distance, she knows how to wield knives and a dagger in a pinch.
As a bonus, she is capable at manipulating a few spells, such as boosting her reflexes and senses, casting small illusions, concealment, and for a short instance, curse bad-luck on another being. It must be said that her control over some of these, namely the curse, can be shaky at times, often in relation to her emotions.
By no means has she mastered all of these, but for the most part, she is adept enough to get by and to squeeze herself out of almost any tight situation she might wander into.
(*note: she has yet to learn that her price for using of magic is that her memories slowly fade as a result. The rate that her memories fade depends on how much magic she uses, small everyday amounts go unnoticed, such as forgetting minute details.)

Personality
When it comes to interacting with others, Lleweira is the kind of person who likes to observe first and keep her reservations for later. Although she may be cautious, she is considerably open-minded due to her upbringing in Bhathairk, the home of many things and people who are out of the norm. Her status quo is being friendly and caring, and she can also be extremely patient should the situation call for it.
Llew is intuitive with whom she warms up to, however the downside is that once she is attached to someone, she can sometimes be a bit naive and can be a bit too empathetic for her own good, despite her better judgement. That being said, she is still instinctively cautious and will listen to her intuition if it tells her that something is not quite right.
She is a good listener and easy to confide in, but finds it difficult to talk about herself and express her own troubles.
Although she will do anything possible to avoid lying, as she herself does not appreciate lies, she may stretch facts and speak in partial-truths should she need to.
Her goal in most settings, is to make those around her happy and as such, she has a strong dislike for conflict, and will go out of her way to either fix or avoid the situation, whichever works best. Most of the time, Llew is quick to make decisions and just as quick to question herself, however once she truly sets her mind to something, it takes a lot to dissuade her or make her give up.

Biography & Lore
Lleweira's memories start from an early age, when she was found wandering the streets of Bhathairk's Great Bazaar. Although the half-Orc woman, who eventually took her in, searched for her family, they were never found. When asked, all her young self could remember was her name. J'vaika, Llew's adoptive mother, estimates that she was around five years old at the time.
Being raised in Bhathairk gave Llew a great appreciation or many walks of life, and the different peoples she came across there, and also being a city known for strange sights, she grew accustomed Bhathairk's the oddities and quirks. J'vaika, did not shield Llew from any experience, and encouraged her to learn as much about the world and the people around her as she could. As such, when Lleweira, curious about tales of vast forests, looming mountains, and other cities that she had heard from travelers visiting Bhathairk, decided that she wanted to see those places for herself, J'vaika did not hold her back, though she made Llew promise to visit whenever she had the chance.
