Valyssa

Name: Valyssa

FC: Senait Gide

History:
Valyssa is the bastard daughter of a Terrisman seeking forbidden temptations in Elendel and the younger daughter of a medium house of the city. As such, her birth was very much considered a potential scandal waiting to happen. Especially since the blood heritage of her mother was already of…questionable status.
(Table flipping may have been involved on account of her grandfather. His wife’s infidelity proved to be the gift that kept on giving as he saw it)
Unsurprisingly, she was thus given away to a family in the employ of her birth. Her adoptive family was well meaning, but given that it was *very* obvious they were not her birth parents, this eventually resulted in a bad case of teenage rebellion, finding her in ill-reputed gambling dens and other places where adolescents may find bad influence.
What was the final straw that broke the Koloss’ back for her was when she snapped, revealing herself to be a Leecher. The day after her snapping, her Grandfather arrived at her ‚Parents‘ house…and offered her a job. Not recognition, not an apology, not reconciliation.
Just a job. Because suddenly she was useful.
She reacted….poorly.
That night, she packed her things and vanished from her ‚home‘, intend to make it on her own and without anything that came from her ‚family‘

Appearance:
Valyssa is about 24 and very slender, almost skinny, of build. She has dark skin, marking her Terris heritage (despite her mother being darker skinned as well). Her green eyes are somewhat light-sensitive (assumed a birth defect), causing her to wear shades during the day. Her fashion choices seem to run almost off-standish male, consisting on three-piece suits with Cravats and shirts, despite mixing them with Roughs-style riding booths. The only real ‚female‘ piece of her outfit is a black silk choker on her throat, hiding a chromium band. Under her shirt, one can further find chromium bracers on ankles and wrists.
She carries a single revolver on her hip, figuring that if she didn’t wear it openly people would suspect her of carrying derringers and might accidentally find her Metalminds.

Skills:
Valyssa is a accomplished Gambler and Con Woman. She can read tells and bluffs with great skills and has a nigh perfect poker face. if she wants to, she can hobnob with Nobles of Elendel all the way down to the upper crust of cities out in the Roughs as well as the criminal societies of the same. She is experienced in dodging the law and angry people if necessary, but prefers to charm them instead of having it escalate to physical confrontation. She can pick locks and sneak around if need be, though she is by no means a trained burglar
And while she prefers even the barest levels of urbanity (no gambling without at least a saloon), she knows the basics on how to survive in the Roughs.

In general Valyssa is a good shot, a very good shot, but she prefers not to *show* it. Instead she prefers people to assume she is a ‚lucky shot‘ instead, on account of underestimation being an advantage.

Powers:

Leecher - Chromium Misting
	By burning Chromium she has ingested, she can burn out another Allomancer’s metal from his body by touch.


Spinner - Chromium Ferring
	She can store Fortune in a Chromium Metalmind, causing her to be unlucky in situations of chance while she stores it, but have the dice turn into her favor when she taps those Metalminds.

„Thief“ - Chromium Compounder
Allomantic Compounding: She can burn the Fortune stored in her Metalminds, resulting in a greatly enhanced Luck in her favor. A normal Spinning would merely make her very luck. A Compound Spinning makes it look like the universe is trying to be on *her side*
Ferruchemic Compounding: She can ‚store‘ Leeching from burning Chromium in her Metalminds, calling it out from them even without having ingested Chromium. She can even call forth more than she would normally be able to burn, allowing her to create a ‚Leech Bubble‘, leeching away the metals of all Allomancers a few meters around her.
