The metal is heavily tarnished to prevent it catching any light while the wearer sneaks around.Showing under her armor is a dark green hooded jacket, and pants of a heavy beige fabric. Her boots, with simple designs stitched into the sides, and her wide-brimmed hat, are characteristic of herders at the edge of the desert, her adoptive family.History:Shen knows little about her parents, except that they were driven from their home by some kind of conflict and forced into human society, abandoning her there; whether they died of wounds, or sickness, or couldn't condescend to live among humans, Shen isn't really sure. She never knew any of this until her late 20's; she didn't know she wasn't human until other children noticed her ears, and still figured she was half-elf until it became clear she didn't age quite like everyone else. At that point, her adoptive family had no choice but to explain what little they knew of her past.Her adoptive family were butchers, tanners, and herders, a tradition she continued as she cared for her aging parents. They eventually passed, and her brothers and sisters were fast turning gray, while Shen stayed the same. She soon left town to broaden her experience. Having known nothing else, she lived with the same energy and quickness of a human, tiring of one occupation after a decade or two and moving on to something else. Every 60 years or so, when something big happens, she calls that a "lifetime" and moves on, forgetting all the baggage of her old identity and going somewhere new to start a life she's never had before.Her first lifetime went until she was 65 and her brothers and sisters started having grandchildren; not wanting to wait around until she lost all of them, too, she struck out alone.For her second lifetime, she wandered across the country, falling in love with nature, and experiencing different lands and people. Of course, friendships made this way tend to end abruptly or just fade away. When she'd had enough, she settled down in a city to the northwest of Is'Merith.Her third life found her tending animals again, outside a big city. Eventually its people came under attack and, being able-bodied, headstrong, and dim-witted, Shen was fascinated by the thrilling and terrifying life of a front-line soldier. Not soon enough, though, she recognized the folly of the war and countless friends' lives wasted fighting it, and she deserted.Tired of losing people, she started her fourth life searching the forests for signs of elf clans. Maybe one would even recognize her, or her name, or something. And find them she did. Not "her" clan, of course, but her people nonetheless. Or, so she thought. It was lonelier in the clan than anywhere else; always so quiet, except for the weird dancing festivals, and no contact with anyone but the same people every day, stuffy meditation practices, disapproving looks when she mentioned card games or beer or anything fun...Still, it was supposed to last, yet even that had to be cut short. Drawn by stories of a sacred staff the clan held, some strangely-robed people appeared while Shen was away; when she returned, there was no staff and few survivors. Furious, she left the last of the clan behind to track down the attackers and take revenge. Apparently they were part of some cult, as Shen was taken by agents of an opposing church as a guide. She continued in a hate-filled fog until one fateful day, when the group stumbled across a griffon. Shen realized too late that the seemingly-monstrous creature was just defending its nest and a lone egg. Horrified at her own callousness, Shen wrapped the egg up and brought it with her. With something else to live for, she fulfilled her promises to the church and left them to their mission.That was a mistake. For once, her old life wasn't content to be left behind. Not a year after the griffon hatched, Shen found herself in a desperate fight against assassins of the cult, send to tie up loose ends. She's not sure how she survived, but apparently she did. She was the only one. They must have wanted to send a message.That was the end of her fourth lifetime. Within another year, she'd begun the fifth, this time as a simple bounty hunter with no home and no attachments, restarting far away in a town called Is'Merith, the kind of place she wouldn't miss when it came time to leave.[/sblock]</blockquote>
