Mental characteristics
Personal history
Yara is from the streets of Dekaron. This city built on top of sea rock revolves around a society of gambling and glamourous facade. Her parents were always absent for as long as she could remember. A tavern owner took her in as an infant but mostly left her to her own devices. She's had to learn to be independent from a very early age and learned to survive by scavenging and thieving from the casino drunkards and unsuspecting tourists. As she got older, her petty theft escalated to risky heists. One day she was noticed by Mr. Z and was recruited to join his company of organized crime, The Collectors Syndicate. There, she was raised to be an assassin and further honed her skills as a thief. Yara felt her life lacked purpose and was inspired to try to pursue a more upright standing in society and she leaves her life of crime behind. She left the syndicate after a failed mission and traveled to join the Golden Talons. Although she joined to do good, bad habits die hard.
Education
The majority of her childhood was spent without formal education. After being taken into the Collectors Syndicate, she had combat training and tutors to be able to be an undercover assassin in any situation. Though her combat skills and stealth prove worthy, her ability to recall any knowledge is very situational.
Employment
As a child, she led a group of fellow kids to scrounge for food and money. Then she was employed by the Collectors Syndicate as an assassin rogue. Currently, she's enlisted herself in the Golden Talons to embark on new adventures.
Mental Trauma
Naturally, Yara is fiercely independent because she's had to survive on her own as an orphan. Later as part of an organization of the Collectors Syndicate, she learned to work her skills as part of a team. However, due to experiencing incompetent authority, she detests hierarchy not based on merit. Authority and respect are to be earned from Yara. Social obligations and expectations don't hold any significance to Yara. Mr. Z and his consorts raised and guided Yara to be a skilled thief rogue and taught her everything she knew. Their teaching methods were strict and lacked any compassion. She much as she wants to leave them behind, she yearns to gain their approval.
Morality & Philosophy
Yara has trouble understanding noble acts of selfless righteousness. Her whole life depended on her being self-serving and opportunistic. She is against useless bloodshed.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
At first glance, her motivations look shallow. She'll jump on the first opportunity for extra coin and luxuries. She'll openly defy heroic self-sacrifice in word but in battle, her body will move to save her friends.
Savvy rogue with sticky fingers. She's always down for a good time and comes in clutch for her party when it counts. Dark as her past may be, she'll just give a little shrug and down another drink.
