Dhianna Khaleel

Work in Progress
==skin deep==
Dhianna is short, but proportioned well for her height and young adulthood. Her skin is a dark golden brown, slightly rough from the wind, but still with a delicate touch of youth. The rogue's eyes are a milk chocolate brown, almond shaped and generally half-lidded. Her skin is unblemished for the most part, with the major exception of around her wrists, where there are indented scars in the shape of large bands. The scars themselves are several shades lighter than her normal skin tone and slightly shiny.
The young rogue has a slight accent, around the same type of accent of that of Arabic or Middle Eastern language speakers. Her hair is a dark black with the natural complementing brown highlights that falls in slight waves to her brush her shoulders. Dhianna height is a cause for annoyance for her, and she tries to keep her posture as straight as possible to keep herself at 5 feet tall because she worries about being mistaken for a child. Her chest and hips, inherited from her much taller and more graceful mother make that unlikely.
Her clothing is generally clean and well cared for, with a few noticeable patches or seams, she isn't a very skilled seamstress despite her mother's best efforts. Sarah Timberlain in Eastvale Logging Camp has become sort of an angel in this regard, always offering to repair rips and tears for free whenever Dhianna stops by.
(Wolfskin bracers are played as scars around her wrists in the shape of brands or manacles. )
===city outfit===
One of Dhianna's few changes of clothing, she keeps this cleaner and less patched than her adventuring leathers. It consists of a quarter-sleeved powder blue linen shirt with a dark blue brocade vest over it. The raised designs are a darker blue than the vest, just barely standing out against the main fabric. The designs themselves are nonsensical, twirls and loops intertwining. The vest is usually unbuttoned and the buttons themselves are a silver-colored cheaper metal.
The rogue's belt is a simple black leather belt, always with the sheaths of her two twin daggers on her hips. Her linen pants are blue, with the same silver colored loops running down the outsides of both legs. Darker blue cord is criss-crossed through the loops to form 'X's down the sides of her legs. Her soft linen boots are also laced up the front, to keep them tight against her knees all the way down her calves. She favors linen inside the safety of the cities because of its ability to breathe.
She rarely wears gloves inside the city, since they interfer with the activities she comes into the city to accomplish, eating, selling her delicate herb wares, showing off the texture and suppleness of the leathers she's collected, and eating. So the scars on her wrists are one of the first noticeable things that people remember about her appearance.
==more than meets the eye==
Dhianna is soft-spoken, painfully polite, and shy when it comes to talking about sensitive or sexual topics. Despite her childhood as a slave, and her seemingly meek manner, she does not lay down in a fight, or bow submissively to authority. When comfortable with people, she reveals a good sense of humor and a dry wit.
