Makeighla Farstrider

Family: Born a second daughter to Aradin and Corrine, Makeighla’s elder sister Tarra seemed to overshadow her. Makeighla’s parents are full time adventurers and part time parents. Aradin is a ranger and serves the elven realm along with his wife Corrine, a cleric of (healing and nature-don’t have the deities book to reference). They are well known adventurers in the elven lands.

Makeighla and Tarra were raised primarily by a great aunt who helped them with their studies and teaching them how to develop their talents. When Makeighla finished her studies, she left without word to anyone and headed off on her own to adventure. Tarra went on to follow in their father’s footsteps as a ranger and started making a name for herself with a few tales of her adventures making small note with a few bards in the towns she helped.

Background Information: Makeighla doesn’t stay in towns too long and tends to travel under assumed names from time to time. She sometimes picks up jobs in town, like helping in the kitchens, dancing/singing, laundry, errands and other menial jobs as she learns the layout of the town and the who’s who. She is patient and can take her time when gathering information. Makeighla likes to make sure that she has whatever information is needed before going headlong into a situation, especially if she is working alone. Once she pulls off a job, she tends to lay low and wait for things to settle down again before leaving a town and setting off for new adventures. If she is found out, bribery and trickery have helped save her from the law a few times before. She has traveled with other groups of adventurers from time to time, but stays distant and reserved. She only stays in touch with her family only by the occasional letter and keeps her class hidden from them since they wouldn’t approve of a thief in the family.

Makeighla Farstrider is a private and reserved elf who is opportunistic. She isn’t greedy, but she will try to gain an edge when she can. She likes to take advantage of situations whenever possible, like distracted team mates doing a search in a room while she is opening a locked box of treasure. Makeighla can’t stand people who don’t carry their own weight in the group since they are taking a share of the profits as well. She is a team player, but mostly for the sake of adventuring. She doesn’t care for leadership and would rather follow since she doesn’t care about how things are done, just that they get done and that she gets her share of the treasure. Her adventurous nature, patience, curiosity and independence are things that make her good at her job. She has self esteem issues when it comes to her family which is why she avoids contact with them since she left to adventure.

Physical Appearance: 133 years of age (middle age), 5’4, with blonde hair and blue eyes. She is great at disguising herself and uses ready made aliases when needed.
