Personality: 

Adryanna is very reserved most of the times, only becoming a tad bit lively when she performs her duty as a bard. She's very suspicious of people, especially if she only just met them, and much rather have them out of arms length as much as possible. Calm, and seemingly aloof, many people try to steer away from her unless she's performing. She is very suspicious of romantic advances as her former relationships ended with them just using her or replacing her with someone else. 

When doing a con, she can be very confident, seductive, coy- anything that is needed to make the con successful but in reality, she is very insecure, would often compare herself to other women, shy, and is easily flustered. If she happens to have a partner, she is very loving, caring, attentive, and seductive.

She is also a neat-freak, and will clean a room as much as she could until she's satisfied. Sort of eccentric, but Latoya considers it as a part of her charm.

Abilities:

Due to her diluted bloodline, Adryanna did not inherit any of the magical prowess of her race (as far as she knows) but she did get their inhuman senses and tracking abilities as well as the infamous golden eyes.

She lost her parents at a young age and she developed her thievery skills as she's proficient in pick-pocketing, doing long cons, scaling walls, dealing with locks, hiding. and blending in with people. 

She is proficient with a crossbow. She is not particularly strong but she makes up for it with speed and endurance. 

Backstory:

Her great-grandmother, Eliora Aldigran, was a pure Va'aksna or a race of humanoids that could transform into one animal at will and are proficient when it comes to magic. The Aldigran clan was one of the most prominent families of their race and the most powerful among the those that could transform into wolves. The trademark of their family and the most noticeable physical feature that they have in both human and wolf form are their golden eyes, hence them being referred to by many people as the "Golden-Eyed Ones." 

Their family were purists, and could only marry within the clan or to other wolf families, so when Eliora broke their conduct and married a human, she was exiled and forced to leave their territory. After her, her children and grandchildren married pure humans, thus their bloodline through Eliora was diluted. 

Her parents were ordinary shoemakers and made an honest living in a small village, working their small shop.

When she was 26, her parents were accused of being members of a rebellion group by and underground trading organization just because they found out that one of them had the blood of the Aldigran and wanted them gone. Her father hid her inside a barrel when he saw that they were about to be taken so she managed to live. 

With nowhere else to go, she ended up living in the streets, learning how to survive. Adryanna found out that she had a knack for stealing. She also honed her combat skills and became extremely proficient in hand to hand and assassination. She was not particularly strong, but she made up with it with cunning and dexterity.

She was fifteen when she found out who had her parents killed, and in an act of revenge, she decided to pursue them, assassinating them one by one, giving her enough notoriety to have a bounty of twenty-seven million in gold above her head for her corpse, more if she was taken alive. 

Her killing streak was abruptly stopped when she was caught by a kingdom's military at age sixteen, and fully knowing that she had information of the underground activities, they tortured her for weeks with whips, blades, and dragons fire, resulting in both her back and torso littered with scars and burn marks. She was set to be hanged publicly, but was able to escape when a group of bandits tried to loot the carriage but was disappointed when they only found those to be hanged. In spite, they released the prisoners. 

She managed to reach the forests near Orovos but was nearly half-dead, hands crushed because the guards knew of her lock-picking skills. Latoya Magnus, a citizen of Orovos and local mage and shopkeeper, found her in a ditch and decided to nurse her back to health. In the end, she became almost like a sister figure to Adryanna and always welcomed her to her home. It was also because of her that Adryanna learned how to play several instruments: a lute, violin, and wooden pipes.

Adryanna travels alone and carries mostly a bag, her lute and her wooden pipes, and performs in towns, cities, or walled kingdoms. She usually steals (pickpocketing tourists, locals, and mostly the nobility or performing grand theft) and buy or trade some wares so she has things to bring to Latoya for her to sell or trade.
