Haughty, naughty, stout but graceful; Bathsheba is a beautiful yet vain dwarf far removed from the humble and hardworking lifestyle of her home village. To her, all the world is a stage, and its people her audience. A princess in her own mind, she'll take any opportunity to showcase her belly dancing skills, hoping to garner adoration (or at least attention) from whomever happens to watch. She never worries too much if someone doesn't pay her any mind; sooner or later, someone will.

Even in pitched combat, Bathsheba craves attention. Her particular fighting style concerns toying with her opponents. She provokes and evades in perfect rhythm, always keeping her foes just at arm's length. Her voluptuous figure provides a tantalizing distraction, leading her enemy into a sort of clumsy dance as she trips them up and disconcerts them. Then, when the time is right, she strikes fast with dual fans, always certain to finish with a flourish. Can't disappoint her audience, after all.

Offstage and off-duty, Bathsheba can be found dancing in the company of enamoured bar patrons eager to bask in her beauty. Despite appearances, she's been known to partake in rounds of stiff drinks and shameless braggadociery with perfect strangers in total comfort. If in a particularly good mood, she's also been known to spend long nights with one or more such lucky strangers...
