Minalyse Harker

DESCRIPTION

Coming in at an imposing four feet tall and seeming to weigh about as much as an average child, likely the first time anyone would see this little one when she comes riding into town on a big slobbery hound, hat tilted down and pistols on her sides in the early morning. Her clothing is simple--rustic even--consisting of a large wide-brimmed felt hat, a dusty-brown coat that trails to her knees, a pair of chaps over forest green trousers, and a forest green shirt decorated with patches. Certainly mysterious, but perhaps just a traveler down on her luck.

It's when she pulls off the hat and coat that her full beauty is revealed. Deep red hair that contrasts wonderfully with her apple-green eyes flows from her scalp down to the middle of her shoulders, and is often tied back with simple twine. Her green eyes twinkle with cheerful honesty--as well as a deep hunger that ignites into bright green fire when she spots something she finds desirable. Her face is cute and round, tanned from the sun yet still carrying the lightest dusting of freckles, with full lips that either seem to be smiling infectiously, or giving silent promises as to what she can do with them.

While short, her figure is nicely rounded under all that leather. Her breasts aren't particularly spectacular, but her chaps grip her well-rounded hips and butt enticingly, particularly when she walks with that strange swagger that comes to those who spend a lot of time in the saddle. Her legs are similarly well-formed, with strong thighs and calves. Her arms are somewhat small in comparison, but still carry some small definition from her tinkering skills.


BACKSTORY

Born from one of the occaisonal trysts between the halflings and Fey of the Glaevh Forests, Minalyse Harker was raised by her village as a happy gift. As a child, she fed on the stories of the knights errant; wandering men and women who spread justice, love, and lovers everywhere they went. Naturally, the combination of her fey and halfling heritages made her incredibly curious; if she wasn't reading or playing pretend, she would often tinker with various items, creating the spectacular (if mostly useless) multi-utensil and the non-functional automatic stick thrower. When the time of her adulthood came, her curiousity got the better of her, and she fled her home quick as she could upon the riding dog Lucylee to have her own adventures.

Of course, this was hampered by her tiny stature. Being a thief wasn't in the cards; instead, she went to the city of Deeprest and spent some time amongst the arms makers and pirates there. After a year, she came up with her single greatest invention thus far: a firing mechanism using flint and steel as opposed to lit matches, affectionately named the 'flint-strikers'. These are, of course, her most treasured secrets, and she often refuses to allow anyone else to handle or study them.

With a pistol and musket completed for herself, she went out into the world again, a mysterious stranger halfling that solved problems with guns and charm; several small villages and towns now have tales of the strange red-headed little halfling, including some daughters and fiancees.

However, there's only so far that a single halfling and her loyal riding dog can go. After all, there are many things out in the world that could do all sorts of unspeakable things to a single beautiful halfling...
