Amanda Dime Profile

Name: Amanda Dime (assumed name, Elvish name unknown. Many other names and faces have been used.)
Race: Changeling (Elvish subspecies)
Age: Unknown, but assumed to be teenaged by Changeling standards.
Sex: Female
Height: Just under 4'0", when not in a fake body.
Weight: Surprisingly light.
Eye Color: Brown
Hair color: Silver-Grey
Complexion: Olive
Birthplace: "The arse-end of the Old Oak Countries", apparently.
Birthdate: Around March or April, making her an Aries by the human calendar. Her real age, however, is unknown, as she subscribes to the Elvish calendar.
Physical Characteristics: Thin, but wiry, and unusually strong despite her small size. Her usual attire is confined to a ragged, toga-like sheet around her body, with form-fitting "trunks" underneath. When in bodies, however, she tends to go for clothing that would fit the role she wishes to take on. When forced into battle, she dons traditional Changeling war-gear, which consists of a lot of metal and leather straps, a feathered headdress and retractable steel claws.
Temperament: Somewhat self-absorbed and abrasive. Her thoughts are often concerned with her next scheme - or at least, the results of it. Prefers to scheme and wheedle her way through conflict, looking to gain some advantage for herself. Extremely distrustful of those who appear wealthy, and has a rebellious dislike of authority figures. Easily annoyed, and often sarcastic and blunt.
Ability/Strengths: Naturally speedy and slippery, able to duck and dodge through difficult situations. Bears the ability to modulate her voice in an aesthetically-pleasing manner - not hypnosis, but more akin to mental persuasion and prodding - as well as imitate a wide variety of voices and sounds. Especially good with numbers and figures, despite having no formal schooling. Her most notable ability, however, is the creation of fake "bodies" that she can use to adopt new identities, adapt for various challenges and blend into unsuspecting communities of rich idiots.
Weaknesses: Although a meticulous planner, she often fails to look at the big picture and cares little for consequences. As a result, she may not plan for the fallout of her actions, which has screwed her over more than once. Outside of a body, her small size means she relies on Mr. Crank to do the majority of her brute force. Her worst weakness revolves around body creation - it takes a lot of effort and time to create one, and she can't risk being caught whilst forming one. Worse, if she is forced to eject from her body, she emerges starved and dehydrated due to the amount of body fat and fluids used to create it.
Social Class: Low-class, but seeks to better herself through her crimes.
Occupation: Con artist, thief and Robin Hood-style outlaw.
Religion: Has none, but refers to aspects of Elvish religion - usually when cursing.
Political Preferences: Extremely liberal, with hints of anarchistic/Marxist tendencies. This may be due to her upbringing, and should also come with the caveat that, more often than not, she'd rather have the money herself.
Parents: Her father was lynched by High Elves for a crime he didn't commit. Her mother's whereabouts are unknown.
Siblings: No siblings - Amanda was an only child.
School: She received no formal education, due to spending most of her life in a slum area. Many of her skills were learned on the streets, but her aptitude with numbers and figures comes from the creche of like-minded street children she fell in with.
Failures: One of her worst failures was an incident where, for a hefty sum, she was attempting to retrieve a priceless family heirloom for a Czar. However, the entire caper proved to be an elaborate trap, and not only was her partner of the time killed, but Amanda herself was framed for murder and treason. The Czar in question escaped with money and heirloom, whilst Amanda spent many months in jail under poor conditions. This has caused her to become suspicious of anyone offering her a deal - she hates being the conned one.
Quirks: Thinks very highly of her appearance, and is quick to check herself out in a mirror - usually after transforming. Used to play a flute as a child, although she has not done so in a long time. Terrible singer, with a voice like a cheese-grater on violin strings. Has a very good head for organizing, timing, schedules and money. Enjoys getting drunk, although she ends-up with terrible mood swings whilst under the influence. Something of a hoarder, and always carries a bag of useful items, such as string, lock-picks, ink and more. Good memory for where she left things.
Favorite Food: Any kind of meat, especially spit-roasted or cooked, with venison and chicken being her favourites. Also has a liking for seafood - an oddity in the wood-bound elven species. Pies are her favorite dessert, usually blueberry or meat. Likes to snack on berries, acorns and chestnuts.
Favorite Color: Green, as a reminder of the green trees of home.
Trauma: As a child, she suffered much prejudice from High Elves, taking the form of insults, spitting or kicking. She was also forced to watch her father being lynched by a kangaroo-court under false charges, the mob being paid-off by High Elf nobles looking to cull the Changeling numbers. This has made her bitter, and was the start of her long-standing grudge against the privileged, wealthy and influential
