Appearance
A slight tiefling woman with dusk-red skin, small swept-back horns, and a narrow tail that flicks when she is thinking. She keeps her black hair cropped short on one side and braided on the other, with a habit of hiding a lock of silver thread in the braid as a quiet good-luck charm. Her movements are careful and economical, like someone who learned long ago that wasted motion attracts attention.
Mannerisms
She speaks softly and almost never repeats herself. When she is deciding whether to trust someone, her tail goes still and one horned eyebrow lifts slightly, as if she is weighing the cost of every word in the room.
Personality
Dryly observant, cautious, and quietly compassionate in ways that are easy to miss. She pretends she does not care about most things, but she remembers every debt, every kindness, and every lie that almost got someone killed.
Ideals
Freedom. No ruler, gang boss, or priest should own another person’s choices. Rules may be useful, but only when they serve people instead of trapping them.
Bonds
She still keeps a rusted brass token from her first crew, and she will not let anyone call them dead until she has found out what became of each one.
Flaws
She trusts plans more than people, and when a situation feels too emotional she gets colder, not kinder. She can also be stubbornly self-reliant, refusing help until the moment it becomes inconvenient for everyone else.
Quirks
Background
Neris Vex learned early that a tiefling born in the wrong alley is treated like a warning sign, not a child. She grew up in the margins of a river city, where locks were cheap, hunger was common, and kindness usually cost more than coin. By the time she was tall enough to see over a tavern counter, she already knew how to spot a purse, map a patrol route, and disappear into a crowd before a mark realized they had been seen. Crime was never romance to her, only arithmetic, survival, and the occasional chance to outwit people who believed the law would protect them from consequences. Her first crew was a loose knot of burglars, runners, and streetwise liars who taught her that the difference between a thief and a monster was often just who got to tell the story afterward. She was good at the work, quiet, patient, and unsettlingly hard to remember once she chose to be forgotten. When a deal went bad and the crew scattered, Neris kept the only thing no one could steal from her, the habit of planning three exits before entering a room. Now she travels as a rogue not out of loyalty to any guild or cause, but because ruins, vaults, and hidden doors all speak the same language, and she has a talent for listening.
