Nicknames: Ro, Roan, Roany
Date of Birth:
Age: 25
Race: Iksar
Sex: Female
Appearance: An exceptional beauty among her kind Roana is a small figure of an Iksar with a agile, svelte build. Her scales are a varied array of greens and browns, possessing almost all of the colors of the jungle within their smooth sheen and her eyes are a soft blue like spots of sky seen through breaks in the leaves above. Almost draconic in appearance, two darkly colored horns curl back from her head above the flowing fins that adorn the sides of her face.

Place of Residence: Freeport, but flits around almost anywhere
Place of Birth: The Dreadlands, Kunark
Known Relatives: Maranko Nyoka (grandmother), Venaro Nyoka (grandfather)
Religion/Philosophy: Have fun and live life to the fullest. Beyond that she really doesn’t care too much about religion despite being raised to strictly follow Cazic-Thule like the rest of her tribe.
Occupation: Assassin, mercenary, shameless flirt

Guild Affiliation: Open Hand Trading Co.
Guild Rank: Alts

Enemies: She does not choose to stay in one place long enough to keep true enemies, although there is a list of victim’s families who would eagerly put themselves on this list.
Friends: Whoever has coin at the time or is cute enough to warrant being company for the night. She does not try to hold lasting relationships with anyone.
Likes: Drinking, gambling, the city life, flying, sailing good food and good jokes

Favorite Foods: Almost anything, she’s grown fond of Halfling cooking in her travels
Favorite Drinks: Wine, champagne, chardonnay, top-shelf only

Weapons of Choice: Knives, daggers and swords, anything light with a sharp edge
Armor of Choice: Chain and leather for work, but likes to dress up when out and about
Hobbies: Loves exploring, wandering and strangely has a soft spot for reading and learning languages. Despite her flighty nature she loves the hustle and bustle of staying in a city. Her current past time however, consists of giving those who would chain her the slip.

Physical Features: Very flexible and keeps her scales immaculately polished and shined.
Special Abilities: Picks up on new languages fast, and has a sharp eye for a quick get-away
Positive Personality Traits: Warm, friendly, reliable, good sense of humor, patient
Negative Personality Traits: Flighty, greedy, short-sighted, never has a plan and prefers to play everything by ear.
Misc. Quirks: Although she seems friendly and open she is very closed and spiteful of her past. She sees her people as uncivilized and barbaric and wants to live a free life without having to worry about spirits, gods or other mumbo jumbo.
Theme Songs: (( Comin soon ))

History:
Born from a small, but sturdy egg, she was the only of the clutch to survive, hatch and grow. Even at a young age before her first molt, the women of the tribe were stricken by her beautiful earthy coloring that they assumed would fade with time. It did not however, which earned several offers of marriage from the parents of many of the tribe’s youthful males when she was only a toddler. Despite their standing as strong, but lowly ranked hunters, her parents were astounded when they received the offer from the high shaman to bind her to his own son. They did not hesitate and eagerly agreed to the arrangement when she was but seven turns old.

It was once she was ten and one seasons that fate struck, and outsiders found their tribe, decimating nearly a forth of their numbers. Both of her parents were among them, leaving her to the care of her stodgy, traditionalist grandparents who ruled her life with a heavy hand. She lived with them for four years, growing bitter the entire time about how determined they were to live in the dark, ignorant of what things the greater world held. Once she turned five and ten seasons, she beseeched the chieftain of their tribe to let her travel abroad and learn how to protect them from further intrusion by the outside world. Under the harsh tutelage of her grandparents she had made a name for herself as a swift, silent hunter that could never be found in the jungles unless she wished to, which was enough to convince the elders to go along with her plan.

As she was about to depart, the boy that she had been avoiding her whole life gifted her with a rare black flower from the more dangerous regions of the tribe’s lands. Not a word passed between them as she accepted it, and went along on her way. Part of her felt bad for the young man that watched her leave, but the rest of her was looking forward to what the world held. As soon as she was able to barter passage to the Commonlands from the docks in the plains, her deceit was complete. She was free, and would never return to the oppressive harsh life in the wilds.
