Physical Description:

Sherrin is a young woman of average height and lean build. She has red hair, brown eyes, and pale skin. She prefers to wear dark, loose-fitting clothing so as not to stand out and to conceal her knives and leather armor. She speaks softly and tends not to overshare. When she enters a room, her eyes go first to possible escape routes and second to whatever valuables are around.

 

Backstory:

Sherrin life of thievery began in Suzail, a bustling port city and capital of Cormyr, where from a young age she displayed a knack for getting into places she wasn't supposed to be and slipping away without a trace. It wasn’t long before she caught the attention of Oaks, a seasoned rogue who recognized her potential and took her under his wing. Together, they became an effective team of burglars.

Their partnership eventually led them to target a warehouse belonging to Bozman, a powerful crime lord who holds sway over the city's underworld. When the job went south, Oaks ended up in prison and the crime lord went after Sherrin with a vengeance. After Bozman’s men burned down the boarding house Sherrin was staying in. She escaped the fire, but lost everything she owned. Fearing for her life, Sherrin made the difficult decision to flee the city and seek refuge in the Borderlands. It was there that she found the Silver Hawk Company.

 

Personality:

Light-fingered and fleet-footed, Sherrin is a natural thief. She does not care for the law, nor does she care about the consequences of her past crimes (mostly limited to burglary and larceny). Her most noble quality is her loyalty to her friends, from whom she would never steal. Although she is pecuniarily-minded, she will happily share her pickings with others in exchange for friendship or a favor, for that those are worth much more than gold. She prefers making friends over enemies, especially after making an enemy of Bozman back in Suzail.

 

Knives

• Sherrin can’t go back to Suzail, at least for now. If she does, she’ll be caught between the city guards and Bozman’s gang. She’s not thrilled with being exiled to the Borderlands.
• Sherrin feels the absence of her mentor Oaks, who is currently in prison. Although she can communicate with him by letter, she feels lost without his guidance.
• Bozman, one of the most powerful bosses in Suzail, is actively seeking vengeance against Sherrin for her role in a failed heist against him. Sherrin’s put a lot of distance between her and him, but she feels she’s not out of the woods yet.
• Sherrin also wants revenge against Bozman for burning down her house; she lost everything in the fire (even the stuff she didn’t steal) and had to leave town out of fear.
• Acorn is another disciple of Oaks, who also participated in the Bozman job, and fled Suzail along with Sherrin fled. She, however, continued to be a thief when Sherrin joined the Silver Hawks.
• Sherrin is grateful to find “honest” employment with the Silver Hawk Company. She is excited for the security the mercenary group provides. She’s even considering giving up thievery if this job works out.
• Completely lacking any talent for magic, Sherrin is distrusting of it and is dismissive of those who rely on it. She takes pride in using mundane tools and her own natural talents to get the job done. She wouldn’t refrain from using a magic item if she found one, though.
