kelseypoppen for Nora The Thief
Nora the Thief, a Drow rogue living deep in the slums of this accursed city. Anything and everything not nailed down is just a profit waiting to be made. Your friends have all but died or betrayed you, and now you're just looking out for number one. Except for one. A Cleric always trying to convince you of a better way, and one you've yet to rob. Nora sees herself as a dead woman walking, and so is always quite tired in her speech. Often times switching to a more sultry voice with said Cleric to act playful for "One last ride" in case today is your last.
You've been around the block. Seen the worst people can do, and the best, and now you're just too tired to care for petty ideals. All the matters at the end of the day is having enough coin for a new bottle of wine, and one more day.
Currently Nora is set to appear in one episode, but we're hoping your interaction with a fan favorite character will have you returning for more and more shenanigans.
"Oh aren't you sweet. But take a look around honey, bounty hunters raid my place, an assassin in my latest home, there's just no where safe to be. I'm afraid the clock is ticking, and I don't want to be held down somewhere, even by you~"
Context: Your safehouse was just raided, you've had a day of difficult work and near death from an Assassin, and your only "friend" of such is offering help. While you don't care for people, this is one you don't want in danger. Honestly? You're not even sure why. Do you like them? Are they a friend? Is it because they're the only non-violent interaction you've had in years? Who knows... But you don't want to risk it. Bit of playful flirting at the end there, but you know it won't go anywhere. It's just for the chuckle at this point."I told you before, Orion, I'm not looking to change... I'm just in it for the ride, so stop worrying so much will ya? Can't I just have a little fun? You're ruining my mood."
Context: Caught stealing something dangerous for the wrong people, you're not only caught by your "Friend" but actively being prevented from leaving without handing it over. You know it's 50/50 to get out without losing this, and while not angry or enraged, you're definitely more bummed and annoyed more than anything.
"I like that about you. No matter how often I say goodbye, you come falling back into my life like some kind of weird shooting star. I'll be keeping this, and I'll see ya around, Orion."
Context: Having just had a light scuffle with your "friend" you finally disarm them as they barely put up a fight, leaving them in the dust and holding up the item of interest you've stolen. Normally this would be the perfect time to say Goodbye, but you've been around long enough to know it never truly is. Remember, calm, tired, a dead woman walking vibe with this.
