Personality: Mawiyah is clever and quick of mind with no shortage of low cunning to call upon, not entirely trusting of Gondorians due to the two cultures constantly clashing. Though her travels and time around the men of the west has tempered her dislike, knowing she could end up dead if she gave any reason a thirst for the world and no direction also keeping her in check to see as much of it as she can.
Story:Being that Mawiyah is quite alone and without company she is looking for any that will talk with her, using her sharp tongue and the information she has about the dark powers arising on rare occasion seriously. More often twisting it into a fable of sorts to entertain drunks while she swipes there valuables, and learns all she can about the customs and expectations of the other cultures.
Biography:Mawiyah was born in a Haradrim port city bustling with trade and baked by the powerful desert heat, the city drawing most of its wealth off of fishing and trade of spices with neighboring cities and peoples. She was raised by an average family her mother was a spice trader and her father a guard for the Lord whom ruled the city, due to the harsh nature of the Harad Mawiyah's father taught her skills necessary to survive; starting with hunting and tracking along with the use of a sword. When she became old enough Mawiyah joined the city guard like her father before her, the remote location of the city along with the vastness of the desert sparing her from any incredible battles or sieges. She dealt with pickpockets, assaults, theft and the like eventually becoming a dirty guard bored with the repetitive life and frustrated by the Lord living like a king while everyone else footed the expense. So she took bribes and looked the other way on occasion, earning herself a fairly steady pay raise also collecting from some merchants to take extra care of their stall's. A dark man cloaked entirely in black arrived one day, a poor color in the deadly heat as any could tell you, but he never removed the cloak and had an air of death and cold around his very body; something very off putting which frightened Mawiyah. Then not even three weeks past a strange man cloaked in blue was preaching to a huddled group in the dark of a tavern warning them of a great evil arising which would seek to use their people's strength, he was promptly arrested on the orders of the Lord and thrown into a cell.
Mawiyah was set to guard the cell along with others which rotated day and night in teams of two, the formerly blue cloaked man still talking with her when she cared to listen, his ramblings sounding crazed to her until mention of the black rider arose. He begged her to free him from the cell, and she eventually did one night when the palace slept she shanked the other man on duty with her convinced of the old mans stories. Using the cover of night to sneak the man from the Lord's palace an uproar spreading quickly just as they passed through the lower port gate, where he split off from Mawiyah giving her a small silver ring with a ruby stone set in the center. It always seemed to give her comfort since the moment she touched it, granting a feeling of warmth at night and soft cold during the heat of the day, obviously unable to return to her home city Mawiyah wandered north. Finding the forests nearer to Gondor and the warlike Easternling's whom occupied them to be her kind of people, getting work as a private sellsword for some time protecting wealthy merchants and other such nobles. Saving enough coin to venture into the west, running into a caravan on the way to Minas Tirith the supposed city of several dozen tiers made of all white stones in the side of a mountain. Something she yearned to see.
