Order of Whispers

Lightbringer Tybalt Leftpaw “I've done a lot of things wrong in my life. But this one thing, I'm gonna do right.“ “I won't let you have them!“

Street Rat ("in the streets") — I grew up poor, on the streets, living hand to mouth. Every day was a challenge, but like I tell my ol' buddy Quinn, "If it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger." I've worked hard to change my luck, but I've still got a long way to go.

Personality: Charming - I'm charming. No one can resist me when I'm at my best. I know just what to say to lighten the mood or bolster courage.

Miss Elyssa is the alter ego of Lady Elyssa , abandoned at an early age and was forced to live most of her life on the streets with no luxuries aside from a hot meal if she was fortunate that day. Living each day as it came and taking from those more fortunate than herself that which she needed to survive. This is how she came to meet Quinn who become her childhood friend. Quinn also taught her how to fend for herself, she quickly learned the arts of subterfuge, stealth and sleight of hand that kept her alive on the dangerous streets. He would affectionately call her Missy.

When the call to arms came to defend Shaemoor from a Centaur attack she stood shoulder to shoulder with the common people and fought back hard, helping the injured even as they helped her when she herself stumbled. Some call her a hero, others are honored to call her friend.

Unlike her alter ego, Miss Elyssa avoids the limelight and is rarely seen and never heard. While many of her unsavoury associates strive for perfection Miss Elyssa has always stuck to what is tried, tested and true which despite the trials and tribulations of the world, have proved to be consistently effective, no matter the adversary.

For now she remains secluded to the shadows of liberty, patiently biding her time.
