A lithe wood elf with leaf-green eyes, sun-browned skin, and dark hair tied back with copper thread. She dresses in quiet leathers stitched with forest motifs, and her gear is kept meticulously clean despite a life spent on rooftops and muddy back lanes. A thin white scar crosses one eyebrow, and her ears are decorated with small bone charms that click softly when she turns her head.

Quick-witted, wary, and surprisingly gentle with the helpless. Saelith speaks with dry humor and keeps her promises with near obsessive care. She is slow to trust authority, but once she believes in someone, she becomes fiercely protective.

Saelith was raised at the edge of an old forest where the deer paths met the mud roads of trade caravans. She was expected to learn patience, memory, and respect for the old ways, but she found herself more fascinated by the lives passing through than by the trees that had watched them go. By the time she could loose an arrow straight and silent, she was already slipping into camps to steal back trinkets from gamblers and smugglers who preyed on travelers. She told herself she was borrowing from the wicked, but the first time she used her skill to expose a corrupt toll collector, she realized she liked helping people more than she liked taking from them. A fence in a river town noticed her talent and offered her work as a runner, scout, and lock-picker. Saelith learned the habits of thieves, the weight of secrets, and how to vanish into a crowd with a smile that never reached her eyes. Yet she never stayed cruel for long. When a job turned toward hurting the innocent, she broke with her employer, stole back a ledger of blackmail names, and fled with only her bow, her blades, and the memory of the people she had failed to protect. Now she wanders from town to town, hunting for worthy causes, and trying to repay old debts one careful lie at a time.
