Listra da Silvia

Listra da Silvia (a.k.a. Lissie)

Listra da Silvia ([?] li·stra·dá·sɪl·vi·a) is a Terani gypsy who gets caught up with Fibriel and the others during the events of Sword of Dreams, and later goes on her own adventures to combat her fear of lonesomeness.   Though raised as a "social survivor" and consequently a habitual pickpocket & kleptomaniac, Listra is sweet and empathetic, and refuses to steal things that people need more than she does. She also leans into "charity theft" similarly to Robin Hood, and like all proper Terani, will never steal anything from a friend - though she may briefly confiscate things with the full intent to return them later.   A delicate dancer, Listra favors "war rings" similar to chakrams, which may be used at melee range or thrown at mid-range. The phenomena allowing them to faultlessly return to her when thrown remains a mystery, though they will not return if caught or knocked out of the air.   Listra has a condition rendering her sensitive to light, and prefers dim or dark environments.  

Appearance

Form

Listra is a ~5'4" (~162cm) Terani resembling, from the human perspective, a cute skunk gal.   Due to her condition, her eyes are pink amethyst and her coat is largely monochrome, though with a subtle warm or cool hue depending on her surroundings. Her primary color is a dark gunmetal grey with pale white highlights for her cheeks, belly & undertail, arms, and legs. Her hair is raven black, and goes down to around her mid-back. Her bangs are usually styled in two major strands with two smaller strands in between and a single cowlick.   Listra has two white stripes running down her back, including along the top of her tail. The bottomside of her tail has an additional dark "flame" within her white highlights.  

Clothing

Listra dresses lightly and, on her "off days", fairly casually. While she's modest, she isn't ashamed to show a bit of skin and may dress as lightly as shorts and a tank top.   Her "canon" ensemble worn during Sword of Dreams is - while under frequent revision - defined mostly by an ankle-length skirt, open on the left side. She also wears a loose corset top, isolated transparent sleeves, and a small mantle.   Listra often has ribbons on either side of her hair, right behind her ears. These may be color-matched to her hair, or any other color she feels like at the moment.  

Persona

Listra is capricious and often seems airheaded, but she is very street-smart and has excellent reflexes. She is upbeat and likes to see the bright side of things, keeping friends' spirits up when things aren't going so well.   She is very appreciative and incredibly sweet and supportive to her friends and loved ones. However, Listra fears lonesomeness and can be clingy. She is prone to anxiety if someone is late or seems to be missing and is easily hurt when friends are angry with her or mistreat her.   She is very grateful when people consider her, such as by remembering she has sensitive eyes before turning any lights on, sharing nice things with her, etc.  

Talents

As a Terani, Listra is used to acrobatics as necessities of daily life; she is very agile, but not such a good swimmer, and has mastered the use of chakram for a versatile, partially-improved fighting style for both close and mid-range.   A talented thief, Listra can move quickly & quietly and swipe any sets of keys, wallets, or gold teeth that may be needed for some other purpose. Of course, she is also incredibly naturally charming and can work this into a more upfront pickpocket scheme, though she finds this a bit too deceitful and doesn't care for it.   Most mundane locks are little issue for Listra. She's been burned enough times to identify a very advanced or magical lock and knows better than to try to pick one.   Alongside these more questionable talents, Listra is a lovely dancer, though she is easily embarrassed by compliments and particularly by more perverted attention. She is also just as good at appraising and moving legitimately acquired loot as illicit goods.
