Rider was born to a fairly well-to-do family in Kanemoria, and grew up with all the things a girl could want. She had pretty dresses, horses to ride, staves to wield, paints and musical instruments and a bedroom with pink curtains. Every opportunity a noble merchant girl could wish for was presented to her.

She chose to take up none of them.

When her siblings would be attentively sitting in lessons or out riding together, Rider, the youngest child of five, would be sneaking out of her room to wander the streets. The streets of Norey were ten times more interesting than her home, she reasoned, and besides that, there was so much for her to learn out there. She thought the things she learned on the streets were far more interesting than anything those stuffy old tutors could teach her back at home. How could she possibly apply math to the streets she walked on? How would being schooled in every form of Dentorian there was help her in the world that she claimed as hers?

One would think that such a girl, a daughter of a wealthy merchant, might have eventually fallen into trouble among kidnappers or thieves, but not Rider. When trouble confronted her, she fought her way out of it, albeit fairly badly, using a battered sword she'd gotten for a discounted price at a weapons shop. She learned how to pick locks and pockets, and soon enough found her name becoming the subject of rumors around Norey. Every night she went home became like going home to a prison, until at last, one day, Rider vanished from her family's household entirely.

She ended up in Colndor, and spent five years of her life there, refining her abilities until she could pick a lock with a piece of wire and pick a pocket with a wave of her hand, though she could never master swords. She reasons that she doesn't need her sword if she's fast enough not to get caught.

She returned to Norey one year ago, now 23 years old. The Rider that returned to Norey is six years older than the one that left, with a wilder personality and a different appearance. If anyone knows who she is now, they don't show it -- if they happen to see her at all.

Rider hates peace.

If there is anything in her life that drove her to become the person she is now, it was the constant dullness of the noble life. As a girl, she complained loudly that her family never did anything fun. Her siblings ignored her. Her parents scolded her. She, in return, made all the noise and mischief she could, until she was old enough to take to the streets on her own. She's a troublemaker by nature, and she likes her world a little chaotic because, come on, it's so much more interesting that way!

Rider is talkative and blunt, not hesitant to make a joke if she has the opportunity to make one. She's a free spirit and a bit wild at that, wreaking havoc wherever she feels like it. She's also a hopeless optimist, and can't see why anyone would voluntarily have a poor outlook on life. Life is for living, laughing, stealing, and enjoying it while you can. But she also tends to be vastly irresponsible and absentminded because of this devil-may-care attitude of hers. She also tends to be a bit of a pack rat, because she simply forgets to throw things away, not because they have any emotional value.

She doesn't have a whole lot of morals. Why bother? They make things boring. She'll steal what she wants, live and sleep where she pleases, and she's fairly promiscuous when it comes to sex. After all, it's just one more way of enjoying herself.

She's settled into a small, abandoned house, and keeps up a fairly good "business" there. She also feeds all the stray cats that come her way, and has named almost every one of them. She loves animals, and has a special spot in her heart for all the cats that she considers "hers."

Rider is tall and skinny, not very well-muscled, but what most men would consider attractive. She has very dark skin and slanted golden eyes. Her hair is long and dark, fanning out around her ears. She usually wears her hair tied back into a ponytail. Her clothes tend to be neutral colors, to help her stay unnoticed as she pleases. She has no regard for common rules of style or fashion.
