Information

Appearance

Though claiming to be seventeen, the small girl who sometimes visits the Broken Dagger hardly looks a day over fifteen. Though her pale, barely-freckled features are striking, they have the unfinished appearance of youth, giving some hint that when she matures they may be perhaps even stunning in their beauty. Blue-black hair seemingly at all times held in a tightly woven braid that falls to her mid-shoulderblades, she does not fuss over her appearance as so many other females might. More often than not, the young girl might be found draped in over-large tunics and breeches that conceal a frame which seems completely devoid of any feminine curves. Even her hands are constantly concealed in dove-gray gloves of butter-like leather. Her eyes are a simple hazel, wrought of emerald irises interrupted by a starburst of nearly orange-gold about either pupil. Sun-touched eyes that seem to sparkle with good humor at most times, accentuated by a cheerful smile. If the girl takes anything serious, it is rare, and even more rarely seen by others.

Background

Very little is known about Maeve's background. She claims to have no surname with which to give to others in introduction, but none have asked enough to gain a better explanation. The simple peasant girl appeared at the tavern near the beginning of cultists attacks against the governor, Altias Bromn. With time, it seemed that the girl had some connection to the bartender, Mikhail, though it remains unexplained to this day. Considering the man's rather unsociable nature, that could perhaps be due to the lack of any wishing to question the man about why he sometimes acts much like a gruff older brother to the girl. Through the bartender, she has grown close to Molly O'Neill as well, whom she still sometimes visits when the scarred barkeep is not around. While claiming to have a fiancee named Glavain, and even having brought him to meet a few of the tavern's patrons, the girl is more often found on her own. What a handsome elven man might have found to love in a little peasant human girl with a heavy, and sometimes rather annoying accent remains a mystery.

Most Recently

Much to the distaste of Mikhail of late, the young girl seems to have found herself in a very different circumstance for living. Though she does not often talk about it, she has a far stricter cerfew and less time to spend at the tavern. Still, she is usually rather cheerful and without any regret for whatever it is that has changed her lifestyle, and can still be found wandering in from time to time.
