Thadian Mercer
D&D Half-fiend Fighter

"I love her! Thanks so much for all your work."
"Thadian Mercer is a female human, 5 foot 8 inches and c. 135 pounds. On a less scientific scale, Thade is a woman with indelicate features, auburn hair usually pulled back in a french knot or a ponytail, with various pieces attempting escape at any given time. "Indelicate" is not to imply that she's not attractive, by any means, but that she's never been the shrinking flower with a fine nose and big, wide eyes. In fact, her eyes are what set her apart from most. Casual observers would swear that they were pure black, irises and all, if they didn't know that humans can't have black eyes.
Thade is curvy, which is both hidden and accentuated by her choice of clothing. The only distinctly female item of clothing visible would be the arms of a linen blouse, which trace down to small silver bracers on her wrists. A chain mail corset is attached to understated leather epaulets on her shoulders. She wears her burgundy velvet tights with a pair of brown knee-high, flat, undecorated leather boots, and her waist is encircled by various and sundry belts and wraps either knotted tight around her pronounced waist or draped low across her hips.
Although in social situations she's a wallflower because she feels like an outsider, on the battlefield Thade has learned not to take **** from anybody, and her normal facial expression communicates that quite eloquently. Although she hasn't yet discovered it, she's half-fiend, and her black eyes betray her lineage. Her only other physical attribute indicating her heritage is the perfection of her nails, always at a medium length, perfect for clawing."
