Appearance:

Aspis has a recognizable and rather notorious appearance. Mostly due to the efficiency she does her job. She stands at around 5'7", with a slender and muscular build. Giving her a slight advantage in her field of work. Her lean stature and lithe abilities allowing for her to slip in and out undetected. With a unique quietness about her, Aspis' movements mimic almost that of a snake: silent and precise.

Despite her deady nature, she has a soft beauty to her. With raven black hair that has a blue sheen in the light. Complimenting her pale skin perfectly. Cobalt blue eyes stare back with an eerie vividness to them. Sharp, naturally angled brows sit atop peircing, upturned eyes. High cheekbones and a sharp jawline make the outline of her face. Her lips are full, with a raised cupid's bow. Preferring a palette of blacks and blues to compliment her complexion for her usual attire. She is often seen wearing her typical leathers and a mask. She is usually rather wary about where she pulls her mask down at.

Personality:

Aspis has been a warrior since the moment she could walk. She never knew who her family was, nor did she seem to much attention to the idea of knowing them. She was too busy training. Her mentor ensured she would be prepared for the job at hand. He taught her everything he could. The ways of fighting, using your given abilities to your advantage, being mistrusting of everyone, and always make sure you get paid. She'd always been observant, though. Watching people's every moves like a predator waiting to strike. She was excellent at all aspects of an assassin. Quickly becoming rather infamous amongst her travels.

She grew up in isolation and when she finally did leave... well... was forced to, she never quite learned how to interact with people. Her deeply mistrusting nature partner with a prickly attitude made it quite difficult for her to make friends. She wasn't even sure she knew what a friend could be considered. She traveled often, never staying in one place for too long, went wherever her jobs took her, and always covered her tracks. Although her name and skills were always a whisper away, she was very secretive about... well... anything about her. She rarely let anyone see her face, always keeping her mask around her face. Never stayed in one spot too long. And always seemed to know when she was being watched somehow. Her time alone led her to be quite resourceful. She kind of had to find out how to do a lot of her own cooking and patching when anybody that could help her usually chose not to due to her sharp tongue.

Overall, Aspis is a grouch with hardly anything outside of her job. Anytime she is confronted with having to actually do something besides stalking someone and eventually killing them, she shuts down and becomes rather defensive. She isn't even sure what she likes. She likes her knives? And her horse? But what else is there besides her work? There were always people willing to pay to have someoned killed without having to get their hands dirty.

Skills:

~ Combat: She's trained to be an assassin since a young age. She excelled at her training and is a formidable fighter. Her skills rely on quick, precise, and stealthy movements. She's not the strongest fighter, but she makes up for it with her affinity for agility.

~ Blades: Her preferred weapons are a bunch of small, slender daggers. Stashed in numerous different places across her clothing. Her fighting style best matched for the diversity the small blades allow.

~ Resourcefulness: Lots of hours spent alone on the road traveling far distances would drive the need for her to be primarily self-sufficient. Sometimes she could go days or weeks without seeing a village if she was traveling a particularly barren piece of land. She had to learn how to catch and forage for food, build fires, do patches on her clothing. Unfortunately, her increased independence only seems to fuel her loneliness.

Weaknesses:

~ Apathetic: Aspis can be kind of rather apathetic. She was never really taught empathy. If she wasn't getting paid, should she really care?

~ Grumpy: Aspis is in a bad mood more often than a good one. She never quite learned social skills and most often she responds with sass or sarcasm. Which makes for poor company sometimes. At least most people think so. But was Aspis really okay with this? Or does she just not know any different?

~ Mistrusting: Aspis is a deeply mistrusting person. Whether it was trained into her or she was just born with it, she wasn't sure, but she can always remember being like that. She's never allowed anyone to get too close to her, keeping her walls up literally and figuratively. Sometimes this can lead her to dealing with her own consequences though. Someone who could have genuinely helped and she turned them away could result in a worse outcome.
