Post Mue Saraka
Note in advance : My apologies for the insane length, I just couldn't stop writting. Let me know if it needs shortening!

I used Tonan's character sheet as reference for the formatting. Sorry if it's wrong.


'''Name:''' Mue Saraka
'''Age:''' 17
'''Race:''' Human
'''Place of Origin:''' the Stacks, Anaxas

!!!'''Backstory:'''
Deemed worthless and abandoned at birth merely for being female, Mue was left in a basket in the alleyways of the Stacks to die. Days passed and her unheard cries grew weaker by the hour, until fortune smiled upon her in the form of an Osta.

The feline, intrigued by the sound of a dying newborn human, seperated itself from it's master to investigate. Upon arrival, the Osta crept up to the basket and peered inside.
Instantly the cries halted, and the Ostas eyes met the newborns and locked for a full minute, before the tiny humans' strength faded and she slipped into unconciousness.

The Ostas' master, a middle-aged man named Senite, had found his companion dragging a basket along the floor, and was surprised to find Mue lying unconcious inside.
Since that day, Senite had taken the role of Mues' father, and teacher. Caring for her, nursing her back to strength and teaching her the ways of the world.
Senite invested many months into finding her real parents, but to no avail, and once Mue turned 5 years old, he gave up the search and fully accepted her as his daughter.

Money was hard to come by during this time given the ruthless taxes laid down by the galdori, and Senite struggled to keep both himself and Mue fed, clothed and sheltered. He eventually fell into a deep amount of debt, and was forced to make Mue help with his work at the young age of 8 in order to help them survive.
And work she did. Mue spent every day delivering letters to various people on behalf of Senite, and collecting money from them in return. The content in the letters, however, was never known to her. Until one day, at the age of 11, Senite gave her an envelope and told her it was very important to deliver it as quickly as she could, saying that it should take her no more than 10 minutes. The blood-red colour and the mind-bending patterns on the envelope sparked her curiosity, and she quickly ran off to "deliver" the letter.

The reason Senite had so much faith in Mue for fast delivery, is because of her many days playing with Senites' Osta companion, Furhloc. Furhloc, being a feline, was naturally athletic and very good at jumping/climbing. Mue spent countless hours trying to mimic him, and usually failing. But over the years, she eventually became somewhat proficient at getting around, under or over obstacles as if they weren't even there. This talent, coupled with her knowledge of the winding alleyways of the Stacks, proved very useful for taking shortcuts unknown to most, and ensured a fast and smooth delivery of the package.

Instead of delivering this curious, blood-red envelope, Mue ran in the opposite direction. Deep in the alleyways of the Stacks, where she knew no-one would go, she tore it open, eager to see what secrets it held. What she found was something she could not comprehend; a Resistance Pamphlet, a letter, and a small silver pendant. Mue wasn't very good at reading, not many humans were. After all, the galdori prefered to keep the humans labouring instead of learning. So the words on the letter were very long and complicated to her.
What she did manage to decipher, however, was a message about an underground society, a movement against the galdori, a way to free the human race.
A small gasp escaped her lips, even someone as young as her knew what this meant. If this letter was found by the galdori, the whole resistance would be exposed, putting the human race under even more pressure than it already was. And more importantly, if the letter was traced back to Senite, he would be executed immediately. She stuffed the letter and Pamphlet back into the envelope and eyed the pendant for a time before pocketing it, then slowly walked through the alley, lost in thought.

After several hours wandering the streets and pondering what to do with the letter, she decided it would be best to take it back to Senite and ask him what it meant. With a nod, she turned and headed back home.
From that day, her life was changed.

Upon arrival, she found the door not just broken, but shattered. Inside, the house was no longer recognizable. Furniture, or what was left of it, was torn to shreds and scattered everywhere, bits of stone and mortar from the walls and ceiling were littering the floor, books and shredded paper lay strewn across desks, entire chunks were missing from the floor, creating deep, black holes. It looked like whoever was here was looking for something.
Whilst eyeing the reckage, her eyes were drawn to a pool of blood on the floor, and a trail of blood drops leading into the back room - Senites' study.
Shaking, she followed the blood trail and peered into the study. There, she saw the form of Senite collapsed on the floor, dead. Presumably because they did not find what they were looking for.

Several years later, upon seeing how easily life can be taken away, she sought to better herself, so as to not share the same fate as Senite. She had taken Furhloc, the family Osta, as her companion and moved deeper into the Stacks to live with one of Senites' close friends. There, she began to train in the use of daggers as self defence, and quickly became proficient to a degree. At the age of 16, during a routine training session, she was attacked by a group of 3 armed men. Knowing she wouldn't stand a chance as she was, she fled.
Since then, she has been attacked repeatadly, sometimes as many times as 3 or 4 times a week, by the same group. Each time she has used her agility and athletic ability to avoid their grasp.
Mue has spent 1 year avoiding her persuers, not knowing why they are chasing her, and not asking anyone for help incase the resistance is uncovered.

During this 1 year chase, she has been forced to sleep on the streets, or in various inns if she can afford it. She continues her message delivering in Senites place, and usually obtains enough money to feed herself and Furhloc, but sometimes has to resort to sending Furhloc to steal bread from the Half-Moon Bakery, and other food from various inns around the Stacks.
She no longer has any place she can call home, and is on the verge of being driven out of the Stacks.

!!!'''Personality:'''
As a child she was a cheerful, talkative soul. Always willing to lend a helping hand, and always wanting to play. She was loved by all who knew her, and was eager to learn.
Upon Senites' death, however, her attitude changed. She realized the harsh truth of the world in one heavy blow - life was precious, and could be easily taken away.

Since that realization, Mue has turned from a kind, playful little girl into a strong, independant young woman. She is suspicious of everyone, but never shows it. She does not fear crowds, but prefers not talk in public and will not do anything that draws attention to herself.
She is the type of person who can blend into crowds, be invisible whilst being right under your nose. Unless she speaks, you will not give her a second thought.

When she talks in public, she is constantly glancing at passerbys, as if worried they might overhear, and speaks in a low voice. In private, she speaks more confidently, with a relaxed and gentle voice. Either way, she cannot keep still, and often paces around whilst talking or thinking.

Under the rare occassion that she draws unwelcome attention and needs to fight, she does so with her primary weapon, a medium-sized dagger sheathed across her lower back. She fights with the blade held horizontal, prefering to inflict numerous fast cuts instead of powerful, lethal swings. If at all possible, she will dodge attacks until she sees an opportunity to run, relying on her agility and athletic ability to get her out of danger.

!!!'''Description:'''
Being 17, she has not quite hit womanhood yet. Her chest, while developed, is nothing to boast about and her figure is not as attractive as men would hope. All of this is obselete to her, however, as she shapes her body to be practical rather than attractive.
Her figure is small and thin, but not malnourished. Being just a little over 5 feet tall, she doesn't draw attention to herself. Due to her thin form, she is very fast and agile, and quite athletic - being able to traverse most obstacles as if they were not even there.

She has deep green eyes, and long black hair, flowing just beyond her shoulders. Her hair is usually left to roam free, but she sometimes holds it back with a brown leather headband to keep it out of her face.

Her body is scarred in only 2 places, which proves where her skills lie - avoiding and escaping from conflicts. One scar appears as a long, narrow white line running down her left forearm, aquired from one of her pursuers whilst she was backed into a corner. She managed to escape, with this scar as a price.
Her newest scar was gained whilst fending off a group of attackers, when she refused to go back home with their leader for a "good time". She managed to fend off all 4 and escape without taking any lives. However, she aquired a long gash stretching from the middle of her chest to the top of her right hip.

Actually, you're good, no changes necessary. Let me know if you want to discuss the secret group that's chasing her or the silver pendant, so I can help your character figure that stuff out.

You're approved, have fun :)
