Pei

Comic

* Chapter 1

## **Pei, the Trickstress**

Pei is short girl with long white hair with single pink stripe. Her skin is very pale, almost white and she can't get tanned no matter how much time she spends in the sun. She has single scar under her right eye, made by Eleya. Pei is physically very weak, but has a lot of stamina and can run faster than anyone else in Nirai. Pei suffers for slight memory loss due to splitting her soul countless times and losing some of her soul clones. That causes her to forget less important things like exact layout of places she visited, names of some people she meet and how to write some words.

Despite her bad financial situation Pei is surprisingly positive. She is often rude and tends to (quite literally) run away from all her problems, not caring about the consequences of anything she does. She doesn't want any help from anyone, believing she can live only at her own and in the past has rejected multiple offerts of help from various people. Still, she sometimes takes jobs in her field of expertise - stealing artifacts.

## **Story**

Many great discoveries and secrets were lost after The Age of Death. Entire cities stay abandoned to this day, infested by hungry undead and full of ancient treasures. There are entire organized guilds looting old ruins for magical artifacts... and there is also Pei. For a someone living in slums looting dangerous ruins for money with only blunt knife to defend herself was only way to even survive. Day after day she ventured into darkness to get old books, tools, weird magical artifacts - whatever she could carry and sell. Day after day she risked dying to some forgotten traps, being killed by stray undead or caught by not necessary friendly ruin raiders. Her sad life was suddenly changed when she found secret chamber deep underground and dice-shaped Soul Prism, lost artifact able to split one's soul into perfect copies. That little dice forever changed how she approached her adventures, as she no longer had to hide in darkness and be prepared to escape all the time. Soul Prism allowed her to trick and manipulate anyone who she meet on her way, no matter who they were. Undead, Guard, other thieves - everyone chased her copies as real Pei could do whatever she wanted to.

And nobody will ever catch her.
