MISS DEMEANOR
Chiri Demeanor was born and raised in the Merchant District. For the first 13 years of her life there was never a reason to leave. Being the daughter of a prominent jeweler, Chiri had everything of want. She was in fact a typical snotty brat. With nothing but free time and no real grasp on the harsh reality of life Chiri passed the days doing nearly whatever she pleased.
Chiri’s mother is an ex-adventuring sorceress. She spends her days writing poetry and tracking down extravagant artwork. She is a devout worshipper of the lesser goddess Lirr. Chiri’s mom attributes her good eye for art, her spell casting ability and her fabulous good looks to the power of Lirr.
When Chiri reached her teenage years mom began her magical tutelage, but Chiri just didn’t take to it. She just didn’t have the spark that it took to control the arcane energies. Chiri studied hard to please her mother. One day while on task and concentrating hard to decipher a simple magical script Chiri prayed in her mind to Lirr, “Just let me please my mother!” POP! Chiri could read the text with ease. For years Chiri worked with her mother keeping her secret to herself. Doing things her own way on the path of Lirr, Chiri has successfully, yet minimally, passed her mother’s scrutiny.
Recently Chiri has started making trade arrangements and looking into lost manuscripts. She makes trips into all districts to these ends. She has even turned enough of a profit on occasion that her father finds her dalliance tolerable. He is always about the profit. In her many trips to the shadier areas of town she has made contact with a fun loving trader by the name of Laughin’ Jack. He has helped her locate and fence odd bits of art and occasional magical script. In trade he receives a cut and occasional healing no questions asked. Chiri has even gone so far as to hide Jack in her parent’s mansion when the heat was out for him.
Chiri has a giddy fling for Jack, but has done nothing to let on. Jack is older and seems not to have time for a “little girl” as he always calls her. Jack has taken the time to show Chiri the basics of using a crossbow for self preservation purposes when she looks for him in the Shadowshore district. He tried to show her the sap, but Chiri instead to straight to the simple morning star like a champ. He is comfortable enough to let her come and go as she pleases.
Chiri was distracted from her normal studies and trading by proposition. She has adventured with a reputable enough crew a few times and the loot is considerably greater than any trade deal she has ever closed. Chiri has not brought this new prospect up to her parents yet, but their questioning is becoming unbearable.
