Miz
Miz (a.k.a. Mizeri)
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Miz is a three and a half foot tall ratfolk. Living on the streets for much of her life has made her physically weak, but agile and hardy.
Body Features
She is short and light, even for an ysoki her age, and her Cambion blood has given her short curved horns along the top of her head, and vestigial wings.
Facial Features
If one were to look very closely, they might notice that her teeth are a little sharper than those of most ysoki.
Apparel & Accessories
Miz is almost always wearing a dark armored cloak, and intentionally leaves it unfastened to show off her physical peculiarities. In her words, she has nothing to hide, and they make her look quite badass.
She sometimes wears a mask shaped to look like an ysoki skull to bolster her intimidating visage.
Mental characteristics
Gender Identity
Miz is confident in being a girl, though she doesn't place much value on traditional femininity.
Sexuality
She finds both men and women attractive - she favors relationships and friendships with other women, and had a girlfriend back in Magnimar, but physically prefers men.
Miz has a very casual view toward sex, having no proclivities toward sleeping together with someone she just met as a bonding activity - especially so after learning that her demonic blood rendered her infertile.
Failures & Embarrassments
While walking the streets of Magnimar in her preteen years, she was once captured by traveling performers and put on display in their show. As such, she has an aversion to such groups.
Mental Trauma
Miz still has internalized distaste for her appearance, and certainly notices the glances she gets from strangers. This often causes Miz to lash out if she's feeling judged.
Intellectual Characteristics
Despite a lack of formal education, Miz is fairly quick-witted. She sometimes feels self-conscious of her lack of knowledge on a subject and will try to feign understanding.
Morality & Philosophy
Miz is generally good-natured and values the lives of other people, but due to her upbringing views the law generally as more of a list of guidelines than actual rules. She knows how tough it can be to not have anyone on your side, and often jumps in to defend the underdog even if she doesn't fully understand a situation.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
While Miz is primarily motivated by money in the short term, she's also a hero at heart and wants to put more good into the world than bad during her life.
Likes & Dislikes
Miz likes drinking, favoring cheap halfling beers, and despite her size isn't easily intoxicated - this has been a major source of some of her income on the road, challenging unsuspecting men in taverns to drinking contests. Miz also enjoys the company of people who don't judge her by her appearance, people with whom she can turn off her boastful act.
She dislikes those who would hurt others or allow them to come to harm for their own gain. She's also wary of circuses, due to an unfortunate childhood incident.
Virtues & Personality perks
She is very caring with those that she's close to ("motherly" if you want your eyebrows singed) and will often put other people above herself as she did with her siblings growing up.
Vices & Personality flaws
Her caring nature can easily become overbearing, especially so if she's convinced she's right. It's not uncommon for her to butt heads with her family and friends because she thinks she knows what's best for them.
She can be slow to warm up to people given past trauma, and is quick to violence if she feels threatened.
Personality Quirks
Is left-handed. When thinking, has a habit of running a small flame between her fingers as bored students would a pen.
Hygiene
Due to growing up in the Magnimar slums, she is fastidious about her cleanliness, as that was imperative to staying healthy growing up.
Social
Family Ties
Her parents and two siblings still living in Magnimar whom she hopes to help move somewhere safer and nicer
Religious Views
Miz isn't overly fond of any of the core pantheon worshipped in Varisia, but does have a reverence for fire that borders on spiritual, and in times of doubt will meditate holding a flame and seek guidance in its warmth.
Social Aptitude
Miz is a bit wary of strangers, as she never knows what prejudice someone might bring to the table regarding her appearance, and as such there's precious few people outside her family that she allows herself to get close with.
In conversations she's prone to sarcasm and light taunting if not full on insults and intimidation, as she gets a rise out of angering those she perceives to look down on her.
Hobbies & Pets
Miz enjoys games of chance, card games above all else, and tries to always keep a pack of cards on her person. Even if nobody else is willing to play, solitaire is always a good way to pass the time.
Speech
She tries to make up for her size with loudness when the time calls for it, sometimes too much so. When being sincere, Miz can have difficulty asking for help directly from others, often causing her hinting to be lost on the other person.
Miz is a young adult Ratfolk who wields the power of fire as a Kineticist. She wears an unfastened cloak for armor, indicating that leaving her Nephilim heritage exposed is very intentional.
The Rat Queen (self-appointed)
Dragon - She was called this in Magnimar - both affectionately and to mock her - due to her horns, wings, and talent for fire.
Common, Ysoki, Pyric, Varisian
