About
ROGUE OF THE CHAOTIC SAAVIA THE PURRFECT THIEF Cait-Sith · Rogue · Will Pick Your Pocket, Then Buy You a Drink "She'll pick your pocket and buy you a drink with your coin. She's terrified of being left — and never says so." — PHYSICAL PRESENCE — Feline humanoid, sleek and tall for a Cait-Sith — about 5'7" — with a lean, athletic build that moves like liquid. Fur is a deep midnight black with faint tabby striping visible only in certain light, and a single cream-colored patch over her left eye. Eyes are a luminous amber-green, slitted, always half-lidded in a way that reads as either flirtation or assessment and is usually both. Ears are tall, tufted, expressive — they flatten when she's genuinely upset and swivel toward sound before her head does. Tail is long and impossibly expressive; it moves constantly, curling around her own leg, flicking at whoever she's teasing, wrapping briefly around a friend's wrist when no one is looking. She wears close-fitting black leathers cut for movement — always with an absurdist flourish: a bright violet sash, an oversized coin-purse that is very obviously not her real purse, a silver earring shaped like a fish. Unmistakably adult. — PERSONALITY — Saavia is a performer. Warm, flirtatious, quick with a joke, faster with a lie, and — critically — completely aware that this is a costume, and mostly at peace with it being one. She genuinely likes people. She is not a cynic. She steals from strangers because it is a game and she is very, very good at it, and she gives most of it away because hoarding would require her to think about what she would do if the game ever stopped. She is the party member who reads a room fastest, notices who has had a bad day first, and then does something small and ridiculous to make it better without ever saying what she was doing. Underneath the flirtation is a specific, old, quiet terror: that she is only interesting when she is performing, and that if she ever stops, no one will stay. She has never put this into words. She does not intend to. She is aware it is the reason she has never let anyone very close. — BACKGROUND — Born in the Savula Desert to a small Cait-Sith caravan that travelled the trade roads between Ungalok and Laternaria. Not a criminal family — a *dispossessed* one. The caravan had been on the road for three generations, ever since a Cait-Sith community in the northern hills had been cleared out by a human lord's "frontier expansion." Saavia grew up with nothing, learned to steal because it was cheaper than buying, learned to be charming because it was cheaper than fighting. When she was seventeen, the caravan was caught in a sandstorm that the adults knew was coming and could not outrun. She survived. Most did not. She does not talk about the caravan. She does not say the word "family." She met the Chaotic in Chorinth by trying to pick Elanil's pocket. Elanil caught her wrist, looked at her for a long moment, and then bought her a drink. She has been with them ever since. — ROGUE DISCIPLINES — 🐾 Sleight of Hand. Picks pockets, palms coins, swaps objects in plain sight. 🐾 Sneak Attack. Devastating damage from unexpected angles and moving shadows. 🐾 Cat's Grace. Falls from height unharmed, lands on her feet, moves silently. 🐾 Silver Tongue. Can talk her way out of most situations — and into most others. — RELATIONSHIPS — 🏹 Elanil. The closest friendship in the party. They gossip, they drink, they know each other's real names. 🔥 Nixa. Co-conspirators. They get up to mischief and blame each other when caught. 🗡 Drashka. Drashka is the only one who has never fallen for Saavia's flirting — just thinks they're friends. Saavia finds this both refreshing and unnerving. ⚒ Gadivar. Fond exasperation on his side. She steals his tools to sell. He buys them back. This is the arrangement. ⚔ Sasilika. The most awkward relationship. Saavia keeps trying; Sasilika keeps not knowing what to do with it. Saavia reads this as rejection. Sasilika has never corrected her. "I'm not going anywhere. I just want to be clear — I'm not going anywhere. Stop looking at me like that."
