Vestele Whisperwind

A seamstress turned adventurer turned militia member, Vestele is probably the most reliably useless character when it comes to expecting competency. But she somehow keeps going, and somehow keeps showing up asking for people to make her things or fetch her things at the most inopportune times. The equivalent of a rigged d20, there are indeed some choice times that she's actually done a lot of good for the denizens of Leydford. . .
=Attributes=
*Major - Model of Health: With a strong immune system, a balanced diet, and probably something to do with genetics, the half-elf is unlikely to contract diseases, become poisoned, cursed, or remain generally unwell for long periods of time.
*Minor - Too Pretty to Hit: Vestele isn’t above prettying up and flirting with her customers to keep their business. After all, a more attractive employee will draw more of a crowd. She’s surprisingly gotten out of a lot of harm’s way just by having a pretty face.
*Minor - Weaver: Vestele is skilled with the needle, able to create a number of garments at modest quality from even subpar materials. With enough time spent on a project, she is able to create higher quality clothing.

*Major - A Pocket to Owe: As a result of an outfit mishap, she now owes House Godefrey a significant sum of money and free services. Most of her earnings go to the nobility, and she often closes up upon the mention of their name. Some ill hearted nobles may claim to be good friends with House Godefrey in an attempt to get free or heavily discounted orders.
*Minor - Scapegoat: For some reason, even when she's asleep, Vestele looks like she's up to something. She's always the first to be assumed when something goes wrong, and it's definitely somehow her fault, we just know it.
*Minor - Gambler: The only thing Vestele likes more than beauty is gambling, and she’s quite awful at it. But hey, you only need to win once to come home rich!
=Backstory=
Born to Treth Whisperwind and Ayrith Naerona, it was decided that Vestele should be raised in Arilaand rather than Eshma Thalis. Being somewhat wealthy, the Whisperwind’s lived happily in the walls during Vestele’s childhood. It was there that the young half-elf was able to grow and learn with little inconvenience. But, it wasn’t long before comments about knife ears rang about playgrounds and friend groups. Vestele did her best to ignore the racism, and focused on her education, at the cost of most of her friends. It was later her mother who taught her to drink, and her father, the needle. Vestele grew from sewing dolls to sewing simple aprons and jerkins. From there her parents paid for her apprenticeship with a master seamstress. Showing much promise, Vestele held a bright hope for her future. Her newfound pride brought a new change in how she held herself: making new friends and business partners.
Although her parents were nothing but kind, the work with her mentor was slow. Ending her first year with nothing to show, Vestele needed to make a change. The half-elf would eventually open her own place, proving herself to new clients day after day. The pay wasn’t optimal, especially not with the cost of materials and having to price competitively, but the work was honest and it made Vestele happy. She would later take on more daring projects with nobility before squandering her chances to make it big.
