Lady Lark of the Lanes
| Age 31 |
| Gender Female |
| Origin City of Fools |
| Occupation Minstrel |
She is the daughter of an infamous con artist, a man known as "The Hollow Man." His real name, Elias Veyne. Few ever knew if they had truly encountered him until it was too late. Elias has made a name for himself weaving lies and illusions so intricate that even the most discerning nobles fall for his schemes. He specializes in elaborate identity frauds, convincing entire cities that he is a lost heir, a foreign dignitary, or an upstanding merchant.... only to disappear with coffers full of stolen wealth. His greatest deception was swindling an Arshakan noble house out of an entire estate, a crime that left bounty hunters and praetorians alike desperate to bring him to justice.Anira never wanted for food, shelter, or affection. He taught her how to read people, spin a story, and the power of charisma. But while she adored him as the father who spoiled her with toys and beautiful dresses, she could never shake the guilt that eventually later came with knowing how many lives his deception had destroyed.
As she grew older, Anira realized she did not want to follow in his footsteps. Instead, she sought truth and real knowledge, real stories, and a way to use words that did not leave ruin in their wake.
| Build That's a nice decollete |
| Hair Honey blonde |
| Eyes Blue as robin's egg |
Despite her best efforts to distance herself from her father’s legacy, his reputation follow her like a shadow. It doesn’t help that she carries too much of him in her features. His sharp green-blye eyes, his smile. When some people look at her, they don’t see Anira at all. They see the blood of the man who ruined them.
Personality
As all bards, Anira is quick to slap her heart out like a steak up on a cutting board. The best songs come from suffering and aching hearts after all...
Her father made sure she grew up to be a resourceful and cunning woman. He also taught her how to use a silver tongue and charm to turn situations in her favor. But unlike him, she refuses to use those skills for deceit... at least, not for the kind of cons he built his life upon.

Skills
"One must play the part, even if the role is temporary."
She uses her skills mostly on stage, to dazzle and enthrall her audience. Singing and playing her lute, but it can be a great skill for, let's say.. distractions.
