Name: Naeema Djem
She goes by numerous other names, most starting with an 'N'. Nancy. Nina.
Age: 19
Though, as any great thief, she can change her mannerisms and looks to appear older or younger.
Title: She's the Honorable Thief.
Appearance: (I'm horrible at choosing actual people references, I hope you don't mind I use some digital art?)
Small, flexible with nimble little fingers that are constantly in motion. She's nervous energy incarnate. Esmeralda doesn't stop moving, and if she's really excited, talking. She dresses for comfort, mostly. Loose pants, thin shirts. She keeps a little pouch at her waist, filled with nice little trinkets, keepsakes.
Personality:
Naeema is a fickle person. Sometimes she is playful, and steals your hat just to return it with whipped cream inside. Other times she's stoic, planning out her escape rout after stealing a jewel worth a fortune. She's kind and highly intelligent, despite her background. A life full if ups and downs has given her an older, more mature sense about her. She's cynical, yet holds herself to some code. She believes that people can be good, and while she isn't exactly a prized citizen, sees herself as a good person.
She's brave and Courageous, never backing down. She doesn't shy from conflict, but embraces it. Naeema is at her best when the world is at its worst. She functions best in chaos and calm makes her uncomfortable. She's a mixed up mess of mature and childish.
History!: (gosh I'm horrible at this! Tell me if it sucks!)
Naeema grew up poor. She learned to take care of herself. One day, she stole from an old thief. He took the girl under his wing and taught her the old cons, techniques and skills of the trade. He taught her the code of thieves and the honor in it. He died, eventually, though Naeema didn't mourn. He'd saved her, and now he was safe somewhere else.
So she moved on. Pickpocketing, doing smash and grabs and long cons. She pretended to be a nobles distant cousin for a month, before taking off with his gold. She also spent a few months in jail.
The girl traveled, doing as she pleased and living a dangerous, exciting life. She helped people where she could, always giving away the earnings from her stolen objects. Naeema didn't steal for money, or fame or to gain possessions. She stole for the rush of it!
