Name: Anisha Coquelicot
Age: 20
Race: Colloquially known as “Halfling” due to their small stature.
Powers: (MUST PUT WEAKNESS AND LIMITS)
Acrobatics: Anisha can, despite her height, jump far on her own, and even farther with environmental assistance. She makes good use of this ability to get where she wants to go without passing in range of enemies. However, she can only go so far, since her jumps are far only relative to her stature. Standing, she can only go about 6 feet, with a bit of momentum, she can hit about 10, and with environmental assistance, she can go a little over 20 feet without touching the ground, and only glancing off other objects.
Sleep Presence: One of Anisha’s defining features is her ability to fall asleep almost on command. While she’s sleeping, her presence disappears, almost, if not completely, out of existence. Without having her in direct sight, it would be nearly impossible for anyone to know that she’s even there. Of course, while this would be useful for her non-commercial work with some black-market vendors, it only occurs, while she’s asleep, rendering her unable to make any actions while she’s hidden.
Weaponry: Anisha has two weapons, a rapier and a short sword. She’s had her rapier for several years, while the short sword is a recent acquisition. She can wield both simultaneously, her rapier in her dominant right hand, while the short sword is in her left. They’re sized for someone of her stature, and because of their reduced weight, she can use them rapidly after the other. Of course, on the downside, since they’re made to work with someone her size, their length isn’t impressive, requiring her to get within close range to utilize them. They also rarely cause critical wounds on their own, and need to strike multiple times to wear down the opponent; her rapier is named “The Toothpick” partially for this reason. Her short sword doesn’t have an name, although while using it she tends to yell “I’ll show you handle animal!” leading some to believe that’s the sword’s name.
Date of birth: March 18th
Home: An Unnamed Country inhabited mostly by halflings. She has no idea where it is, or how to get back there, and presumably hasn’t come across it during her travels.
Alignment: Neutral
Relationship: No
Job: Whatever she can get. She tends to stick to odd jobs, simply because they carry the least risk. However, if the pay outweighs the risk, she’s more than willing to participate in jobs with questionable legality.
Appearance: Anisha is short; she stands at about 2'8". She has reddish hair, which naturally falls flat, except for a small tuft on the back of her head. For the most part, she wears an oversized vest that functions as a one-piece outfit, tied around the middle with a simple sash. Simple clothing allows her to blend in more easily around the typical outdoor bazaars and markets she frequents. She usually carries her swords in a bundle on her back, the cloth of which can double as a blanket in emergency sleeping situations.
Personality: Anisha is very reserved, since her habit of sleeping at various times doesn’t afford her a lot of time to socialize with other people, or even be found by them. She also tries not to interact with others too much due to her tendency to fall asleep and wake up in a completely different area, with no idea how to return to her previous location. Her size also plays a role in how she’s treated, and in new places she’s often offered a job out of amusement, and continues after producing results. Most of her acquaintances will recognize her if she happens to return to the same area, due to her memorable size.
During her adventures with her party, one of them gave her a pat on the head, in the same manner as many adventurers use to try and handle animals. She quickly grew fond of these pats, even becoming jealous when the party member, in an act of compassion, gave one to an opponent who had just seen his cohorts crushed by the party. Upon the opponent’s death (who happened to insult the party member in question and was killed by another in reprisal), Anisha promptly looted the body out of spite, taking what has now become her secondary weapon from him. While she has since left the party, the interaction left a lasting impression on her, and she can and will warm up to someone who can emulate those head pats in the same manner.
History: She lived in a country mostly inhabited by people of her kind. At one point though, she just fell asleep (as she tends to do) in a pile of crates. When she awoke, she found herself in a foreign country, lying amongst the crates in the marketplace. Seeing as there was little else to do, Anisha began working around the market, although connections eventually lead her to the black market. She’s been known to take on some more shady jobs when necessary, as she just ends up wherever shipments in the market take her, due to her sleeping habits. Thus, she lives on what’s on her back, and won’t pass up on an easy payday.
One of the major things that happened to her was that she started to have a recurring dream. While there was nothing terribly bad about it, that was the problem. It wasn’t a good dream, it wasn’t a bad dream, it was the only dream. Experiencing the same dream, over and over and over, with nothing changing was slowly wearing down on her. She tried her best to get the dream to do something, anything, but to no avail. The same sequence of events with the same objects every time. Because of this, she decided that she needed something new to try and at least have some more to do during her waking hours, and at one point joined with an adventuring party (of course their reward wasn’t too shabby either).
