Charity

## Description

The young tiefling is graced with silvery white hair that is often kept manageably short for practicality's sake. Twin horns sprout from the top of her head, smooth and sleek, curling down and outwards to their tips. Her keen eyes are a vivid shade of teal blue and her skin a dusky purple specked with silvery white freckles from the tips of her pointed ears to her toes. Her spade-pointed tail is often a visual indication of her mood.

Her current occupation is centered around the Cuddly Cactus Tavern as its main proprietor and cook, though there are rumors of a recent partnership to ensure the establishment's financial success.

### Armor

Charity tends to wear lighter leather for the sake of easier movement but often carries an array of pouches and kits on her person.

### Arms

Though Charity isn't one to scrap or fight without good reason, she has a definite fondness for different gadgets including an impressive looking hand cannon that she has named "Big Burp".

## History

It was things such as ‘Monster’, ‘Demon’, and ‘Hellspawn’, usually voiced with some manner of profanity and revulsion as people backpedaled away from her that filled Charity’s earliest memories. Left behind by a traveling caravan of performers, Charity had no idea what she was until taken into the care of a human sorcerer adept and he gave her the name of her people. She served him in gratitude and good faith for many years, learning bits and bobs about tinkering and cooking while keeping his household and person in tidy order.

Her death was sudden and unexpected. Never much of a hand at magical arts, Charity hummed a merry tune while her beloved sorcerer fussed about with one of his circles, drawing his runes with scribbling haste while she stood still and patient in its center. It wasn’t until she felt her lifeforce begin to fade from her flesh that she realized that something was dreadfully wrong. She begged and pleaded with her master for some reckoning of the wrongs she had committed and was ignored completely, the last gasp whispered from her lips unheard as he stole her spark.

### Skills

Charity has an exceptional skill at building and repairing various mechanical objects. She is also an excellent cook and true to her blood, she is adept hand at surviving in most environments.

### Vices / Flaws:

Blindly loyal and trusting of those she considers friends has often come with a great price. She does not tolerate cold temperatures well and will suffer greatly without some kind of protection from the frigid element.

## Personality

Charity delights in taking care of and looking after others, though she is inherently gentle in her pursuit, proving herself true to her chosen name. It is not her nature to stand idly by when it is within her power to give help of some kind. She is a peaceful and pleasant creature, intent on avoiding violence and conflict.

### Beliefs

Charity is unaffiliated to any deity though she suspects that Kaizen has indeed led her into a cult of some kind.

### Relationships

#### Jastre

The handsomely mustached monster fighter has been a breath of fresh air in her relatively lonely existence. She appreciates his good sense, pleasant company, and willingness to try her culinary creations.

#### Lialxa

The fierce goblin woman is a force to be reckoned with and isn't someone Charity would ever want to tangle with willingly. Fortunately for her, Lia is as smart and kind as she is fierce and the two have sparked a friendship that may lead to other opportunities.

#### Kaizen

The monk is a surprising mixture of contrasting elements and mixed signals that Charity often doesn't know what to make heads or tails of most of the time. She sees him as kind and unfailingly generous, even when it is at great cost to himself, and feels that he may be a kindred spirit. There's also the possibility of the cult thing but her trusting heart hasn't guided her wrong so far.
