Description
Standing at about five three and built with supple, firm muscle just beneath her soft skin, Tawny is in incredibly good shape. Athletic, strong, and supremely flexible, she's got the body of a gymnast, and her acrobatics and are quite incredible when she shows them off. With a long, fiery braid and bright blue eyes, she has a bit of a wild look, given the perpetually disheveled look her hair is in virtually all the time. Freckles dot her face and shoulders in a soft, rather adorable speckling. Soft, somewhat thin lips feature on her face - she notably never wears any sort of makeup or cosmetic aids - but her face is so charming it'd probably be a bit of a step down, one imagines.

Her svelte frame is conservatively built to the point of perhaps being underwhelming in terms of feminine curves and alluring shape, but Tawny considers it a blessing. She finds the idea of using her body to extort or having it serve to draw attention to her rather unpleasant, so her slight chest and narrow, stringy limbs, wrapped in slight, firm muscle is much more preferable to her. She takes good care of herself, always fairly clean and she has any injuries she suffers dressed when possible.

Her clothing is simple and effective, cheaply made but easy to care for. Bound tight about her chest, a blue silk sash serves as the only real restraint and preservation for Tawny's modesty - Sometimes revealing a hint of shape beneath, and a bit transparent when heavily coated with sweat or water, Tawny doesn't find the top uncomfortable or exposing, and her chest is so small that it serves more to restrain what she has than to display it- it doesn't provide any support, but it doesn't need to. Buckled about her waist, matching blue silk (torn, she clearly replaces the top from time to time, with bits of this secondary skirt) forms an outer, trailing skirt over a more durable leather skirt worn down to her knees. Made of tanned animal hides, the skirt has a handful of scrapes along its surface where animal claws and short blades have struck it in the past, and there's even a patched-up puncture where an arrow shot past her leg once. At either side she wears a snug, light satchel with seemingly a handful of small items weighing either one down just so. At her left hip, she wears a curved long knife, a short-bladed sword for personal defense. Her shoes are soft-soled moccasins, silencing the sound of her step on virtually any surface, while providing enough firm traction to make impressive athletic feats possible without slippage.

Her right arm is host to a supple leather sleeve, and her neck bears a soft gold choker, and a crescent-shaped, ruby-inset pendant.

Personality
Full of a youthful sense of invulnerability and an adventurous, somewhat aggressive attitude, Tawny is energetic, competitive, and charming when she wants to be. As wild as she looks, she enjoys a good tavern brawl as much as she likes running the rooftops from the city guard or sneaking into a nobleman's manor to claim a treasure. She's a bit of a thrill seeker, much to the chagrin of her mentor, the famous magical thief Rune. Proud and spirited, she's  very much insistent on relying on herself - at least, to the extent that thieves do - ie, relying on their ability to take what they need from others. She's used charm and guile to do such things, but she considers direct and open seduction - and putting out for profit, to be degrading and beneath her - she doesn't like to bend to anyone's desires unless she happens to share them.

Gear & Talents
Tawny's short sword is well-made and resistant to damage, but it's not magical, just made of very hard, specialty-forged steel (thanks to her mentor's connections). Her choker is metal plated with gold, and completely mundane as well. her pendant is a warding amulet, designed to deflect most typical minor charms and enchantments - a precautionary measure, but not much good against anything terribly complicated, beyond the local village shaman or witch, though it can detect complex magic. Finally, the glove she wears is enchanted as well, serving like rather durable armor - it has the durability of steel, at least against metal weapons, and it's been  seen to turn aside blows in the past (though directly blocking and absorbing all the energy of a hit would likely just break the arm behind the glove.)
