[Lunar Maiden]

----------------------------------
Birth Name: ???
Usename: Doesn't have a preference; most recent stagename - Iki. She's also been called 'Rogue' by those who can't appreciate her talents.
Gender: Female
Occupation: Player/performer, thief
Age, Date of Birth: Estimates herself to be in her early twenties, Unknown
Race: Human
Position: Storyteller, musician
----------------------------------
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 121lb
Strength: Slightly above average.
Hair: Long, thick, raven black; typically worn in a loose braid. Occasionally let down.
Eyes: Golden yellow
Voice: She typically sings as a mezzo soprano, but she's more than capable of reaching notes outside her range. Her speaking voice is of moderate volume, though she can project it if she needs to.
Skin: A warm color similar to that of pure, dry sand.
Disfigurements: Her left earlobe is torn. A scar runs from the upper right edge of her jaw to the tip of her collarbone.
----------------------------------
Weapon(s): She can hurl daggers and throwing knives over several yards, and her aim is deadly. Though she prefers these, she will wield twin broadswords, if the situation calls for it. She's been known to beat people with her lyre, if nothing else is at hand.
Clothing: Loose, collared, off-white shirt, the top couple buttons undone. Baggy black pants. If she needs to wear shoes, she selects nondescript tanned leather sandals.
Accessories: A few small gold hoops in the upper cartilage of each ear; three on the left, two on the right.
----------------------------------
Due to her graceful curves, men have often mistaken her as a plaything. Those men now boast splendid sopranos that even she applauds. Contrary to what her gentle, feminine appearance implies, Iki fights, drinks, and swears as boldly and skillfully as any man you may come across, her habits betrayed only by the taunting glint that often flashes across her eyes.

Though she's always good company, be it listener or conversational partner, you'd be hard pressed to get her to talk about herself. Somewhat annoyingly, she's able to change topic without you even realizing she's done so until long after.

Her first memory is of finding her lyre in an alleyway. She isn't able to recall what city she was in, but the lyre was there among some trash and rubble. After cleaning it up, she began teaching herself how to play. She listened to the bards that would come and go, their sound her only guide. Eventually she began writing songs herself, performing them, and even taking up acting and storytelling. She's briefly traveled with troupes in the past, but gradually began performing solo as she found herself thieving more than before. It was skill she found talent and joy in not long after the discovery of her beloved instrument. It was actually this that led her to join Silver's crew. That, and it was getting a bit difficult to balance both theft and musicianship, what with her face becoming better associated with her villainous side than her bardic side.
