Database: Perina di Bastian

Venetian Hellequin
Born in Renaissance Venice, Perina was a daredevil burglar and con artist who adored flamboyant disguises and loved being the center of attention. She was particularly talented at misdirection and sleight of hand, which, when paired with her elaborate costumes, raised her cons to an art form. The carnival-like atmosphere of Venetian masquerades, during which she often wore a Hellequin costume to easily blend into the crowd, were her favorite hunting grounds, wherein she could prey on the partying nobility.
Perina has always had a penchant for being the center of attention, and so preferred to work alone. She was never one to share the limelight.
However, during one of her long deceptions, she found Antonio de Magianis, leader of the Venetian Thieves' Guild, working the same target. There was some conflict and both of their cons failed as a result.
While at first annoyed with her interference, Antonio quickly realized that her unique abilities had immense value. He invited her to join his Thieves' Guild. Perina initially refused, but Antonio kept a close eye on her activities. When one of her jobs was about to go bad, he stepped in and helped turn it around. She then realized the value of having co-conspirators.
She joined the Guild willingly, and became a close friend of Antonio. Perina's flamboyant personality was a constant source of entertainment for Antonio, and she often flirted with him by claiming that his luxurious mustache had captured her heart.
