"You need to ask -_-?"
Appearance: Lynx stands at about 5'3. She has an athletic build with pale skin and light blue eyes.

Lynx has short choppy hair, with her bangs bound together by a circular clip. Lynx wears clothes built for easy movement. Most of her wardrobe is made of leather since it offers more protection than just cloth.
Lynx always makes sure to cover her arms because she has a unique scar on her left arm. The scar is made of two parallel slashes that run over her her elbow. Lynx also has several bruises on her back. Lynx favors her left hand, something that has made it very tiresome to conceal her appearance, as there are not many left handed people and it is often considered the mark of the devil.
"Aren't I purrrrrrty?"
Skills: Lynx is a master of stealth and fighting. She's particularly skilled at using dual knives and long swords. She has a reputation for defeating scores of armed guards and somehow escaping. Using an array of ropes and grappling hooks Lynx is able to lasso distant object and fly through the air on ropes.
Another thing that helps her escape is her knowledge of disguises. She knows what plants can be used to color hair, how to change her gait, who sells weapons and doesn't ask why you're buying, and how to change inflections in you're voice to sound different. As a result of a years of disappearing and changing who she is Lynx is a skilled liar. She is so skilled she sometimes looses sight of the truth.
"All the skills a fugitive needs."
Weaknesses:

"Just because I have weaknesses doesn't mean I can't kick you're butt."

"In short, I'm one of the most amazing people you'll ever meet."
Brief History: When Lynx was young she was daughter of a very poor man whose wife had died at the hands of a few corrupt young soldiers. Her father was desperate, he turned to thievery. One day he went out to steal something and never came back. Lynx lived on her own on the streets for a few years, before she was noticed by a noble man and woman who could not have children. They took her in, fed her, clothed her, taught her in fighting and scholarly, and eventually she killed them. For though the life they gave her was a charmed one, it was a life in a cage, and not only was it a life in a cage, it was a life filled with the upper class whom lynx blamed for the death of her parents.
From the moment she killed her foster parents Lynx became dark. She stole, she lied, she did whatever she had to in order to stay free. Her hatred for the upperclass, and her crimes in themselves became almost legendary. She became lynx, a fugitive who remained at large in the city, someone who would be quite a prize if caught. She has lead the police forces on quite a chase for 8 years without guilt until now. Now she has started to have terrible dreams. She fears these dreams may be her own guilt, or a punishment from some divine force bent on punishing her. But, in her stubborn nature she refuses to change her ways, thought the fear still lingers at the back of her mind...
