Character Attributes
Character's Full Name: Telalin Tovanen Fea (Tel for short)
Status Desired (Red Tower, Royalty, or Citizen): Citizen of Tarabon (Born and resides in Tanchico)
Home Country: Tarabon
Age: 24
Appearance:

Height: 5'4''
Eye Colour: Dark brown
Hair Colour: Dark brown with lighter brown and blonde streaks
Complexion: Even toned, and tans in the sun. In wintry climates has a healthy glow.

Telalin has no distinguishing marks or features. Her heritage is not easily placed; she has no obvious physical attributes of any particular people or country. It is hard enough to try and distinguish her when you can see her properly, but most of the time she hides her small, round face and hair colour (often dying it), even hiding her small stature and sex underneath her layers of clothing. In warmer climates this is harder to do; her home of Tanchico often forces her to don the veil and Taraboni robes and style of dress, something she deeply detests. Nevertheless she also often passes herself off as a boy as she is quite flat-chested (flat enough to strap/wrap her breasts tightly to fool most people). She has a plain face that might be reasonably pretty, if she wasn't trying so hard to not look feminine most of the time. Her small nose, beady eyes, thin lips and small ears give her a mousy look which a mirror rarely sees, let alone a member of the public.

Her hooded cloak and scarf cover her face and hide her body, which is generally clothed in brown and black slacks, a cotton shirt, and a long black and weathered travelling coat. Light suede boots shod her feet and her hair is cropped in a deliberately uneven bob that levels our around her ear lobes.

Her plain appearance is the perfect canvas for her disguises. Her face is easily changed and even though she hates looking feminine, she knows full well how to transform herself with the right clothes and make-up. Her hair is short enough for wigs, and the perfect colour for dying.

Character Details
Personality (at least 2 paragraphs):

Tel is only ever out for herself. Most of the time she works alone but when she does enlist the help of others it is very rare for them to know the full story behind the ‘job’. She is greedy and wants whatever is stolen for her and is not beyond treacherous acts to get it. She will go to any lengths to make sure she comes out with the better deal. She is ruthless, selfish and has a deep resentment for the rich and those whom are better off then herself. This fuels her thievery. When she is not being impulsive, she will seek out employment. Her immoral nature enables her to be hired by the most dubious of people, and take on even the most questionable and morally unsound of jobs.

She is cunning and adaptable, somehow always managing to find what she needs. No matter how impossible the job may be, or how elusive the object may seem she is versatile enough to make most things work in her favour to get what she wants/needs.

She has no sense of loyalty or honour and no close ties. She is elusive, changeable, one minute a hot head, the next as cold as ice. It is impossible to tell whether or not she is telling the truth, or indeed what she is thinking or feeling. She is impossible to read, pre-empt or trust because she is so adaptable and so sly. If emotion is registered upon her face it is most likely a lie and a ploy so do not trust it.

Likes (at least 5, with a sentence for each):
Shiny things: particularly rings.
Boats: This may be a result of her growing up in a port, or merely the fact that she has been on some impressive crafts, but being on a boat makes her feel like she is getting away with/from everything.
Mead: She loves her mead but her slight frame cannot handle too much of it. After only three flagons she is drunk
Heights’: considering her occupation this is a definite plus.
Cards: One of the many things she plays to pass the time in the worst taverns in the world.


Dislikes (at least 5, with a sentence for each):

Veils: For someone who likes/needs to hide her face, you’d think she’d appreciate this object of clothing. She hates it though. As with it comes revealing, feminine clothes and certain ‘expectations’.
User’s of the One Power: She has no particular hatred for them, she is merely jealous of their powers.
Rainy days: this is more understandable when you take into account the amount of times she has been on the road and slept in storms without any shelter.
Women: She is not kind when talking about her own sex, they annoy and frustrate her.
Relationships: Not the most reliable of partners, Tel normally takes what she wants and leaves in the dead of night. This can be applied to shiny things as well as men.

Character History
Family:

She lived on the dirty streets of Tanchico, and cannot remember her family. She may have been abandoned as a child, are orphaned. Either way she has no relatives, and no friends. No ties, and no loyalties. As least, this is what she claims. The truth of this may be something very far removed. It could be she ran away from home, and has a very loving family. There is no way to prove this one way or the other as she changes so much it is hard t recognise her from one day to the next.
Personal History:

Tel grew up on the streets of Tanchico. She was a street rat, a petty thief. She stole to live and lived to steal, that was her life and still is. Her memories of her early life are either repressed or she does not wish to talk about them. Either way there are few people who know her true origins, if anyone. She has no distinct features, so it is hard t tell if she is even a Taraboner, it is possible she is though, as she has a love for the city that only a native could possess. In her early teens she begun her travels, and stowed away on various vessels to bring her to such places as Ebou Dar, Tear, Mayenne and Saldaea. She hitched rides with merchants and pedlars to see such cities as Cairhien and Caemlyn and has even been to the Borderlands. She steals and sells on the road and outside of Tarabon is always moving, moving, moving.

She is currently on the road and heading for Tar Valon, with a petition to the Amyrlin Seat. This however, is a cover, as she plans on gaining access to the White Tower in order to steal from it.


Personal Goals and Philosophies:

Her main personal goal is to steal something rare enough so when she sells it on she can retire wealthy.

Her second, more risky, goal is to steal from the White Tower. Something from the Age of Legends and made of cuendillar is her ultimate object to steal.

Her philosophy is that there is no greater good, she does not care about status or rank - whether it be a Amyrlin Seat or Queen of Andor she has neither respect nor reverence for them, nor the beggar on the street. They are one and the same to her. She does not believe that anyone can be faithful or be true, and she believes there is no such thing as an unselfish good deed, so she may as well take what she wants and not feel guilty about it.
