A slight lightfoot halfling with sun-browned skin, quick hazel eyes, and a mop of dark curls always escaping a practical hood. She wears soft leather armor tailored to move silently, with hidden pockets, brass buttons, and a weathered scarf that doubles as both disguise and keepsake. Her hands are nimble and ink-stained, and she carries herself with the alert poise of someone who never fully trusts a locked door.

Cheerful, watchful, and difficult to surprise, Mira treats danger like a rude acquaintance she has no intention of inviting inside. She is generous with food, secrets, and favors for the downtrodden, but stingy with trust. Beneath her easy grin is a disciplined problem-solver who thinks three steps ahead and keeps a spare blade where no one expects it.

Mira Tumbletoe grew up where the city forgot to clean its alleys, in the tangle beneath a market district that smelled of rain, fish, and chimney smoke. As a child, she learned that a halfling could survive almost anything if she was small enough, quick enough, and polite enough to be underestimated. She sold returns, lifted purses, listened at keyholes, and memorized which tavern keepers left their cellar windows unlatched after midnight. Her first true lesson in thievery was not how to take, but how to vanish before anyone could decide whether to be angry. Her life changed when she found an old watchman after a warehouse fire, trapped under a collapsed beam and unable to reach the street. Mira did not steal from him. She dragged him out instead, and in return he showed her the hidden ways of the city guard, the load-bearing secrets of staircases, rooftops, and walls, and the value of knowing when to run across a beam instead of the floor. Since then, she has used her hands for safer, sharper work, opening locks for friends, slipping through windows to recover stolen heirlooms, and robbing cruel men only when kindness and warnings failed. She still keeps to the shadows, but now she does it with a purpose, to make sure the small folk of the city never stay helpless for long.
