Fev

Fev is a 17-year-old changeling thief. Kidnapped as a baby and ultimately raised by the members of the Highcrest Thieves Guild, she tends to be slow to trust others though she is also often very impulsive.

Backstory
Her parents, both changelings, made a living through identity fraud - taking on identities as different humanoid races, managing to place themselves in influential or advantageous positions in politics or in large industries or companies, and embezzling large amounts of money until they were caught - at which point they would leave the city, change their appearances and identities and begin again. When their daughter was born and kidnapped in Highcrest, still far too young to change her own appearance in line with her parents' aliases, they realized their identities as changelings would soon be revealed. They gave her up for lost and vanished, and when the guild realized what they had really obtained they similarly decided it would be more advantageous for them to raise the child as one of their own. As such, she was given the name Fev and lived at the guild, spending her time running around the city or learning from the various people who passed through the guild.

Like her birth parents, she was able to take on different appearances while pickpocketing or burglarizing the residents and visitors to Highcrest, meaning her ability to get away with the crimes depended only on her ability to get away fast enough to shift should she be caught. As such she's excellent at climbing and running and is very knowledgeable about the small crannies and alleys of Highcrest. As she approaches adulthood, however, she seeks to prove herself to her adoptive "family," and has left Highcrest for the first time in her life to seek her fortune finding what riches she can on the other side of the rifts opening up across the world, and in the cities that she passes on the way.

Personality
Fev is still young and, growing up as she did, has always been largely on her own in terms of figuring out how to function in the world. She has learned thoroughly the dangers of trusting others, though as small and vulnerable as she can be physically she has learned the benefit of having others to defend her. As such she finds herself torn between wanting to seek out allies and being wary of becoming dependent on others. Her general solution to this is to make herself as useful as possible so that she is indisposable to the group, but she knows that her real risk lies in how capable she actually is of avoiding the emotional bonds that lead to risky decisions.
