Arto stands at 5'5", and has a very slender build. Thankfully she hasn't many curves and her chest is small, making her appear more of a delicate nature. Her eyes are icey gray and the only inperfection of her skin lies in her hands, which are cloused from her work as cabin boy. She used to have long hair, but she cut it short to a more customary shoulder length. Arto looks almost like a doll, thanks to the elf blood in her, she hides the fact that she is a bastard half elf by hiding her slightly pointed ears behind her hair. Her legs are long and agile.
Arto wears a loose white shirt and brown vest along with cloth too protect and tie down what little chest she has, she also wears loose pants and those slipper shoes as apposed to the normal boots.
Weapons:Throwing knives hidden in various places.
Although this isn't a weapon, it's still kinda important; a flute she can play beautifully
Bio:Arto was abandoned by a mother she never knew, and taken in by a band of money hungry gypsies. The woman that adopted Arto took care of several children, in exchanged for their services as little thieves. Arto took to her training well; she was a good decoy, and an even better pickpocket. Arto’s long fair hair and forget-me-not eyes entrapped passerby’s attention as easily as her smooth fingers robbed them. She became the leader of this little band quickly, making the band’s mother proud. Arto was even taught how to throw knives by the band’s mother, in case one of the other kids needed saving from a sticky situation. It was hard to catch a slippery kid with a knife imbedded in your hand.
The dream team could only last so long though, eventually they ran into some wealthy merchants who had gotten robbed more than once, and were smart enough to hire guards. They got themselves into quite the mishap, Arto got away, while making sure the other kids did too, but in the process she had to hide on a ship, and it took off before she could get off. Thinking quickly she cut her knee length pretty hair and dug up some cabin boy clothes. Luckily she stayed out of notice until hitting land again, she had only stowed away on a cargo ship.
Away from her adoptive family, Arto wandered around port, in search of someone with a jingling pocket. She ended up trying to pick pocket none other than a pirate, and was caught. He threatened to have Arto's head, which scared the bageeses out of her. The look on her face made the pirate laugh, and in the few seconds that he spent laughing, Arto wiggled out and ran for it. The pirate was surprised by her agility, and she managed to escape onto another ship. Her luck ran out, and she was on no simple cargo ship. She was on a stinkin pirate ship. The boatswain saw her on deck and questioned, Arto barely had enough nerve to voice that she was a cabin boy, and lucky her, there was an opening. Could she die? Maybe, but Arto didn’t want to make the massive man angry, and she could see the other pirate still looking for her on deck. Arto quickly nodded and accepted the job. Arto had no idea what she was getting herself into, all she had going for her was a good aim, theiving skills, and a flute she could play some songs on. If her disguise is found, she could be killed, raped, or thrown overboard, yay. Oh well, at least she has a steady job instead of being some street rat. She's been on board for a couple of months, and the work has been murder on her muscles and nerves. She is showing some promise though......
