ZILVVRAE DEGHYM
"Velkyn"
Age: 70 - 95 ; I want her to be young, inexperienced, easily manipulated. Still developing too, so as to give her more room to plausibly develop in the guild.
Class: Spy.
Alignment: Chaotic neutral ; I really hate the idea of "evil". It's so tacky. I am far more attracted to the idea of amoral selfishness rather than flat-out immorality.
Religion: Vhaeraunite.
House: Qu'ellar Deghym.
City: Au Shindaguo.

The Physical
Petite, shapeless, unremarkable. Built for stealth. She's the perfect spy. Not even vaguely attractive, and yet not so unappealing as to stick in the mind. She's just commonplace enough to slide from your memory, a passing face. Average, flat white hair in a perfectly straight bob around dusky black skin and sickly gold eyes alight in the middle od sunken, bruised sockets.
Zilvvrae: Short, slim, scholarly. She looks like the archivist she is, with paper cut calluses on her fingers the closest she seems to have to battle marks. A solid five foot even, with understated muscles and unremarkable attire, usually subdued tones. Even when in red and purple, it's a dusty, faded shade. Still though, she has that same marked drow narcissism and preoccupation with sexual attraction that often makes her unafraid to put her body on display. In other words, she often dresses like a slut. A tarnished pair of silver pince nez, though anyone who knows her intimately will realise these are for show, are almost constantly perched on her pointed nose.
Velkyn: Skintight off-black clothes - you'd be surprised how well flat black stands out in shadows - and a low hood over her pale hair and bright eyes. The only loose thing she will allow herself. Anything else that has a danger of catching is discarded as superfluous. The glint of metal - her weapons - are sheathed in black leather or coloured black to disguise their shine. She goes as unadorned as possible.
Weapons: A small, compact, one-shot crossbow, a short sword, a collection of poisons for application, a blowpipe.
Items: Pending.
Weakness: She's a spy, above all else. She's been trained in stealth techniques, not fighting. Her goal is to get in and out without being noticed. Against a trained warrior, she has no chance. Against a warrior still in training, she has a good chance of defending herself and getting an opportunity for escape, but little chance of winning a prolonged battle.

Past and Powers
Power: Basic ; "most drow nobles develop the ability to detect magic, levitate, or sense the nature of other beings through sheer force of will." Source.
The only extensive magical knowledge she has is in concealment. Dampening magic against scrying, stealth spells and the like, with no battle application.
Knowledge: She is, first and foremost, a scholar. While she has extensive theoretical knowledge of a variety of fighting forms, she is scarcely physically trained in them. This is the main motivation as her working as a spy - and more than that, as a glorified protector of Deghym secrets.
She has expansive and sprawling knowledge covering all things. In theoretical work, she is a genius. She has shown prodigal potential for memory retention. She is quick to memorise and never forgets. Everything said to or around her is stored away in a neat mental filing system. She has learned, in her trade, that even the most superficially superfluous knowledge can prove vital at a later date. And as a spy she has been tutored, the hard way, in keeping that information to herself, no matter the motivation to get it out of her. She has even been fed truth serum in gradual doses to build up an immunity to all but the rarest and most potent.
