Your Name: Cass
Character's Name: Siena Dell
Age and Birthday: 31, her birthday is July 21st
Race: Half Tortallan, half Barzun, her mother is from there.
Social Standing: Upper Middle Class
Profession: She is a prosperous seamstress who has nobles as customers, but she is also a member of the Court of the Rogue as one of their informants.
Place of Residence: Patten District, with a shop in Upmarket
Magic (if applicable): Weak and red. All she can do is light things on fire. She respects other mages, and learned from a village hedgewitch. She doesn't mind having power or the lack of a lot of it.
Family: She has a large family, most of whom have moved back to Barzun with her mother when their father died. She has three sisters and two brothers. In age order there is Rossa, who is thirty five with her own family, Nea, who is Siena's twin, Arbel, her younger brother who's twenty nine, Jemas, who is twenty seven and Cine, the youngest girl who's twenty five. Her mother is fifty and named Clover. Only Cine and Jemas have stayed in Tortall, both are Rogues.
Siena has one six year old daughter, the product of a fling with a rusher when she was twenty five. The girl is named Tamar and looks like her mother but with the brown eyes her father had. Her family doesn't really show any opinion on Tamar.
Physical Description: Siena has tanned skin and olive green eyes. She has wispy brown hair that is always braided and pinned up, although some pieces fall around her face. She has calloused hands and a birthmark like and overly large freckle on her arm. She's sturdy and stocky, with a height around five foot nine. Her stomach is slightly rounded because of her child.
She dresses simply but well; whatever cloth is left over from her orders she uses for herself. She has a set of amber beads given to her by her mother that she wears every day.
Personality: Siena is exceedingly patient with people and her work. She is very kind towards children. She has a slow temper and rarely ever gets mad, when she does she lectures instead of yelling. She has a few nervous habits: constantly chewing on her lips and tapping her foot.
She likes men fine but has accepted that none really want a woman with a daughter. Even though she is unmarried she hadn't turned against the opposite gender or become clingy and demanding. If she thinks that she might be in love she'll do it, if not she'll break it off. She ended the fling that resulted in Tamar because she felt that they were drifting apart, she actually found she was pregnant a few days later. She told Tamar's father, she felt he had a right to know. She trusts her instincts and is quick to befriend others.
History: Siena was born in Tortall and then moved back to Barzun with her family when she was five. After a year there they moved back to Tortall again because her grandparents they had stayed with wanted to get off a farm and move to a city. She grew up happily and learned to write, read, do basic math and learned history. She was constantly watching younger siblings with her two sisters helping her. When she was nineteen her father died and her mother went back to Barzun with all of her children but Siena and Nea. Siena joined up with the Court of the Rogues for the excitement of it and started a seamstress business with Nea that she still runs, only now with her sister Cine. After Siena had her baby when she was twenty five Nea went to Barzun to be closer to their mother and Jemas and Cine came back to Tortall because they found Barzun tiresome. They stayed with her for a while and then got their own place although Cine works at the shop.
Role Play Sample: Siena knelt by Tamar. The girl was trying to hem a skirt for the doll Jemas had given her. She was wearing a thimble but had already pricked her finger a few times.
"Here," Siena said, and took the bit of cloth. Tamar watched as her mother showed her a more efficient way to work the stitch. Tamar watched a little bit longer and then took it up herself. Siena smiled fondly at her and then took up her own order.
