From that, Syra was made to live in an orphanage for a short time until her father received word and returned to claim her. She spent most of her life travelling around as her father and older half-sister went from job to job; often left in the care of her half-sibling while their old man was out doing his thing. When she was about 8 or so, their father left without a word and disappeared, presumably having fallen victim to someone or something stronger than he was or some other circumstance. Leaving the 15 year old and 8 years girls to their own devices, the two of them quickly taking up the mantle of thieves, robbers, highway "men" all under the guise of young boys their ages. That was until they "developed" too much to conceal their genders for any longer.<br/><br/>Her sister set off after their father to finally either drag him home or find out what happened after ten years of living as thieves in sometimes poverty, sometimes as members of a guild. Syra currently has no affiations with any guild; for whatever reason these guilds were always broken up by authorities or fell apart from bad leadership.<br/><br/>Knowing no other life; she relies on her fast hands and faster reflexes to get by. She isn't "evil" but she is very "amoral" and has developed kleptomania as a result; partially out of the opportunist instinct she developed and partially out of need.  She receives word from her half-sister regularly though which helps keep her out of serious trouble and moderate her sometimes thoughtless/reckless actions.  Due to this moderation; Syra is able to maintain normal relationships with people once they accept the fact that if they leave loose change around her; it's going to disappear faster than a virgin in the red-light district.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Syra is exceptionally intelligent though she tries to conceal it under her equally impressive personal and social skills; even then she hides THOSE under a veneer of crass and rude behavior. The fact is, she embraces her heritage as a half-elf and enjoys being part of neither the human world nor the elven one fully and thinks herself beyond the laws of both. Though she is cautious to avoid causing too much trouble and landing in really hot water beyond a day or two in a jail or holding cell.  When she was younger she was given a job as a scout which she learned self-reliance from as well as the need to be trustworthy and reliable which she actually values.<br/><br/>After all, it's hard to swindle someone that already suspects you. She'd never intentionally rob a friend or comrade of valuable supplies, weapons or the like but everyone else is fair game to her. She's hamstrung more than one merchant caravan in the past by slipping in at night and filching the weapons or arrows from the guards.  She prefers to act first and think later, trusting her luck to hold out; but if a situation requires it Syra can back off and take a more intellectual approach.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">alternate full body pic</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/37300000/Raynare-raynare-37300159-436-479.jpg)<br/>She doesn't have wings like in the pic, it's just to show off her physique</div></div><br/>
