Mika Roost
Mika is a perky and adventurous girl who is more than she lets on. She enjoys spending her time playing her violin in taverns and around town squares to earn some money, sometimes hitching a ride with caravans with promises of accompanying music and songs for the duration of the trip in exchange for a free ride.
Having been more or less raised in a brothel, she's shed all traces of being shy. Though she hadn't once worked as a wench in any capacity, being surrounded by men and women who simply breathed confidence did wonders for hers. Getting her flustered is a feat that precious few managed to accomplished, and she will push personal boundaries if one does try to duel her in the art of flirting.
She wasn't raised in a brothel for nothing however. When she was little, she would be the little helper running along behind the walls and through secret entrances to find some items people might have lost. Now normally this would have been bad for business, but the people running the place had garnered a reputation for its lost and found, and she wasn't their first or only scurrying rat.
Eventually, she met with a new talent that played a variety of instruments who started tutoring her on how to play, with the violin being her favorite because playing it made her feel a sort of comfort.
Her new friend started to bring her out to the city to play music, and eventually even brought her to different cities to perform, and to also apply some of the skills she'd learn while being a little rat in the brothel. She had a love for travelling ever since.

Personality
Outwardly, Mika is a perky youngster with a clear carefree attitude with a reserve of energy that simply couldn't wait to be released. Yet spend some time with her and she'll surprise people with her reliability.
With her happy and outgoing demeanor, she's easy to approach. With her time living in a brothel, she's hard to fluster. Personal space is a foreign concept to her as is personal property, however she is a good judge of who is an easy person to pickpocket from, not that she does it frequently, but there are times when fingers move on their own.
As one might have guessed by now, she is a lot more than she lets on. She is the observant type, though often she's seen as just another performer looking for an audience. And she isn't shy about it either.
