Hope I've got the theme/timing right and haven't waffled too much ^^. Let me know if there are any parts that don't fit with this RP

Appearance:

Age:40
Name: Annie Ford
Nickname/Alias: 'onest Annie (accent optional)
Gender: Female

Personality: Caring to those she sees as hard done by but can hold her ground against some of the meanest looking thugs when she needs to.
Biography: TLDR; She was married off to a rich lord who then killed her family, she took her opportunity when their carriage was attacked by bandits and made off with the finery and one of the bandits - selling the goods and buying a tavern in Luthias. For the past twenty years she has been carting ale for sale around the city, listening to gossip and picking pockets as she went.
Annie grew up out in the country, her family farm was often the subject of raids. After one particularly bad winter raid they were left with so little food Annie's father made a deal with a local lord that, in exchange for food and guards he would give a portion of all future profits to the lord and his daughter's hand in marriage. 

A year into an unhappy marriage (understandably for a teenager married to a fifty year old with four other wives) Annie discovered the worst. Two years ago, in a feud between himself and a neighbouring lord, her husband had taken on a mercenary group and promised them land he couldn't give...until Annie's father asked for protection. The mercenary group had gone in under the guise of guards and killed the family as they slept, taking the land for themselves.

Between the boiling anger and paralyzing sadness Annie hadn't known how to act. Six months later, however, their carriage had been waylayed by bandits - a battle between the guards and bandits left Annie, the lord and one wounded bandit. A well placed dagger later and only Annie and the bandit remained. The two made their way to Luthias, a city they could get lost in and, with the money from the lord's finery, carriage and horses, bought a tavern.

Annie and Bolen married but his injured leg kept him from a life of crime. Annie, however, was only just getting a taste. She often takes to the streets, ale for sale in her cart, and under the guise as a seller and advertiser of their wares slipped into all areas of the city (few guards say no to a sip of ale during a long shift) and keeps her ears and pockets open. Twenty years since and she has quite a bit of experience under her (now sizeable) belt.


Skills: Reading people, sifting gossip for important information, pickpocketing and her stout frame won't make her the deadliest fighter by a long shot but she isn't to be discounted.
Equipment: The dagger she used for her first kill has never left her side since.
