Moira

Moira is my character on ExaltedMUSH. She is a mortal - not even a godblooded mortal, just a mortal.

While the Dragonblooded quarrel and squabble, and the Immaculates meditate and meddle, she makes a quiet living finding things and bringing them to her employers. Sometimes those things must be borrowed from other people before she can bring them anywhere else. (Whatever isn't nailed down is obviously abandoned and free for the taking. Whatever can be pried loose is obviously not nailed down.)

Background

Moira's father is a brave, handsome Terrestrial Exalted. Her mother is a charming, beautiful Terrestrial Exalted.

Moira is merely a mortal. She's charming (if she wants to be) but not beautiful, or even particularly pretty. She's not so much brave as reckless - she's an adrenaline junkie, pure and simple.

Her non-Exalted-ness embarrassed her parents, and made her uncomfortable around them or her former friends... so she ran away.

Fortunately for her, she hadn't even been in Greyfalls for an entire day before she met an man a few years older than herself. Ogron had been a thief for five years before 'making it big' and deciding to become a honest individual.

His new respectability was boring, though, so he took Moira under his wing, teaching her street-smarts (something she was sadly lacking), how to survive a brawl, and how to be a skillful thief. He also connected her to a variety of shady merchants, who would buy from her the things she stole.

When she'd convinced him that she wouldn't get her hand chopped off within a week, he 'hired' her to 'work' in his laundry. This was convenient both as an explanation for what she did with her days and occasionally as a means to transport stolen goods (no one really wants to investigate dirty laundry!).

After having been in Greyfalls for a couple of years, Moira was hired to steal an expensive donation from the local temple. The theft was successful, but she was later caught and interrogated. She spent some time on a river boat, but after a month came back to the city, only to find herself still not feeling particularly safe from harm. She fled to Saffron Lotus Town, upriver from Lotus Crown City, and spent two years there as a moderately successful burglar, having mostly given up pickpocketing as too inefficient.

However, now she's heading back to Greyfalls, where the risk is greater and the rewards all the sweeter for it.

Description

an image of Moira (image from elouai.com)

Moira is a young woman, slightly shorter and thinner than average. She has straight black hair, which she usually wears braided tightly to her scalp. Her features are fairly unremarkable: nose not too long, not too wide; unremarkable grey eyes; small ears.
She wears faded brown trousers, a green blouse that's a little too big for her, and well-made leather boots--though she tries to hide the quality of her boots by keeping them scuffed and muddy.
She doesn't wear any jewelry, and has no obvious weapons, though a small, sharp dagger is usually concealed in one of her boots.
