Aell von Glitz
Aell is my second long-term character on the Disc. She's an Assassin - formally a member of Black Widow House, now Mistress of Raven House - and is from Uberwald. I roleplay on her a lot and she is a member of the roleplaying clubs Roleplaying (of which she is the president) & Practical Roleplayers.
Description
This quaint, young girl has a strong look about her, despite being only 18 years of age. Her Uberwaldean heritage is obvious, her features traitorously betraying her. Supported by a pale, lithe frame, Aell looks extremely fragile, although it is suspected that there is more to her than meets the eye. She stands a little over 5'6", with piercing grey eyes, and brilliant venetian red hair that dangles tidily around her shoulders - if there were any signs of roots it might look dyed, but the colour appears to be natural, although no hair this colour appears anywhere in nature.
Personal Story
Born in the small town of Glitz - a town deep in the heart of Uberwald, with rich nobility - a young abandoned Aell was found on the doorstop of a local washerwoman. Unfortunately, Aell's new guardian treated her unkindly, forcing her to perform difficult chores and providing poor living conditions. Once she reached 12 Aell decided that enough was enough, and - packing all her belongings into a small pack - ran for the forests. Days later, when she reached the next town, Aell heard rumors of a washerwoman from Glitz who was found stabbed to death in her bed.Over the next few years, stories passed through the Ramtops of a girl with hair like fire, who crept into houses at night and would steal valuables, and kill anyone who got in her way. Aell slept in fields outside the towns, and would move on when the locals chased her off. She continued her looting until she was finally caught one night by a man dressed in full black. Instead of handing her over the townspeople, he took her to Ankh-Morpork, where he enrolled her in the Assassins' guild.
