Basics

NAME: Laura Kint
AGE: ~16-17 Officially declared herself 17 18 19
NATIONALITY: Nevarran
RACE: Human
OCCUPATION: Stabbing
TITLE/RANK: n/a
HEIGHT: 5'5"
BUILD: Slender, a lot of lean muscle
HAIR: Black, worn loose
EYES: Green
SKIN: Fair
BEARING: She's either mildly uncomfortable or ready for a fight or both
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: Laura has six lyrium claws, two in each hand and one in each foot. They only show up when she wants them to, as a general rule--at which point, they function similarly to a spirit blade spell.

Laura also has scars criss-crossing her arms and legs--some older, some clearly newer.
Status

DIVISION: Forces, to start with
PROJECTS: Laura tends to do whatever Flint assigns to her; she likes particularly to help the City Guard and go on away missions to investigate things. As someone with an excellent sense of smell, she's particularly useful for tracking down anything that needs to be found.

When she isn't fighting things, Laura lurks at the edges of conversations, goes out and punches muggers in the alleyways of Kirkwall, and looks for high places, spicy foods, and minor thrills to enjoy.

Reputation

• The claws--have you seen the claws? And worse, how she uses them. Never mind the bloodshed, she cuts her meat with them.

• Riftwatch has plenty of killers among its ranks, but Miss Kint is particularly notable, given the time a demand for her extradition was announced in the Gallows dining hall. Thirty-three people - but, of course, she was only a girl then.

• There are occasional stories of her hiding in shadows, crouching in rafters, climbing up walls, sneaking onto rooftops - it's not particularly easy to catch her eavesdropping, but it does happen occasionally.

• Strange as she might be - have you spoken with her? Maker, if you haven't, you'll understand as soon as you do - she's managed to settle in. Laura shares a room with a mage called Matthias and a cat called Biter, and has more smiles in her for them than she does anyone else in the organization.

• A polyglot? Maybe. It's possible, though rather difficult, to catch her speaking different languages to different people; she defaults to whatever the person speaking to her chooses, and most people use Trade, so...

• A bit of a mimic, too. Ask her to do her boyfriend's voice.

Hooks

• Give her orders. She needs missions and objectives, please and thank you.

• Please help her learn to be people. There are a lot of things she's only just finding out about, from Circles to oranges.

• Let her teach you about being people, specifically being people in Thedas.
