Smiles

Smiles was a young, female Marine in Fiddler's 4th Squad, 9th Company, 8th Legion of the Malaz 14th Army. The name 'Smiles' itself was a pseudonym given to her by Master Sergeant Braven Tooth due to her disinclination to smile. Fiddler thought the remorseless chill of her eyes reminded him of Sorry, and he wondered whether there was murder in her past.House of Chains, Chapter 11, US SFBC p.413 She had petite features.House of Chains, Chapter 11, US SFBC p.415
She preferred attacking from stealth and was rather skilled with the two thin-bladed knives she kept on her belt.House of Chains, Chapter 5, US SFBC p.252-253
Smiles frequently came into conflict with her fellow squad member, Koryk.

==History==
Smiles was born on an estate near a small village by the seashore in Itko Kan. When the sea stopped providing a catch for the local fisherfolk, the hungry villagers resorted to old blood rituals. Smiles' twin sister was chosen by the elders to be sacrificed to the Elder God, Mael, because of the power inherent in a Mirror Birth. Her sister was drugged insensate with Durhang and left at the water's edge, bound and weighted down for the incoming tide and hungry crabs. Cursing the priests and villagers, Smiles fled to the great city to the north.The Bonehunters, Chapter 7, US PB p.428The Bonehunters, Chapter 19, US SFBC p.764
