Despite this she never misses a chance to make an entrance and her favored mode of dress (Pants and cuffed shirts like a man and, her pride and joy, an impressively plumed hat with a broad brim.) only make her stand out even more. Born the second child and only daughter of a wealthy and respected gunsmith she grew up learning to shoot and fiddling with springs, small gears, and bits of wire at an age when most girls were playing with dolls. She was quite happy with this life and was soon entertaining her whole home village with trick shots and automatic coin flippers. It wasn’t until she began to blossom around age 16 that things went wrong. She knew that many men had come to her father seeking her hand in marriage, just as she also knew he refused to marry her off to any man but the one she chose, but it was still a shock when she came home one day to find her father and older brother being led away in chains and a nobleman with armed guards grabbing her and dragging her off saying that she was to be his wife. She spent the day locked in a bedroom in his mansion and almost frantic with worry and confusion, for no one would tell her anything, before finally escaping by using a piece of wire from her pocket to pick the lock. Upon reaching the town she found out that her father and brother had been arrested for the murder of a Knight that had lived nearby and sentenced to life imprisonment. Since the knight in question had been both a friend of her father and an enemy to the noble who had claimed her as his wife she knew it had been a set up. After sneaking past the guards around her fathers workshop, and the only home she had ever known, she quickly gathered everything she could image she might need, but could still carry easily, and set out to clear her family’s name and bring the true villain to justice. Knowing she would need the aid and patronage of powerful people to uncover and prove the truth she traveled to Paris where she soon made a name for herself with her outrageous behavior, clever inventions, and the finest marksmanship the city had seen in years. Shortly thereafter she was approached by the agents of the Duc du Masque.<br/>
