History
Many years ago, Vole's mother - a Neko - happened to reach a village, where she was immediately shunned. A human male, however, saw this and was disgusted by the intolerance of the other people of his village. He took her into his home where they gradually fell in love. A year or so later, the couple was blessed with little Volevoda; but with having her mother's traits as a Neko, she too was shunned by the people of her village.
It sounded like a happily ever after, didn't it?
Four years went by, and a raid was befelled on the village. The men were killed, the women were raped, and the children were rounded up for slavery. Little Vole, only four, hid until the attackers left - only faintly remembering their uniforms, but would not be able to describe them. She ran away from the burning village only to appear at an academy. She implored for their help, but seeing as she was too strange a creature, they - too - turned her away. But Vole was not to be swayed. She climbed to the top of the wall and practiced with the other children, watching them, but never interacting.
Sadly for this little Neko, she hasn't been wholly untouched. Raped twice at the age of 7 and 10, her heart was hardened by being near men, and is very difficult to get close to. Not that it's futile to try, but it won't be an easy task, either.
Vole did this for a few more years, practicing and honing her skills to become the assassin she is today. However, over time she became cold and heartless, killing just about anyone for any amount of money; becoming not an assassin, but a mercenary. One particular quest, however, changed the young assassin when she was paid nearly ten-thousand in her currency to kill a helpless babe - all for being the accident of a powerful man's affair. Once the final moment came, Vole found herself unable to do so. She took the child and the mother and stashed them away, taking a piece of the baby's clothing as evidence of its demise, taking the money with a grin. To her surprise, a few months later she was given the task to kill the same man who had offered her the ten grand. She gladly took the job and killed him.
Present Day
Now? She has found herself peacefully making frequent visits to The Jade Tavern and Inn. The woman has met an arsenal of strange and peculiar people, but all of whom she's grown fond of. While at first she had kept to herself, she is now a bit more open and personal to those she calls her friends. Beware, however; that doesn't make her any less dangerous or reserved when approached by a stranger. If comfortably coaxed, she will make pleasant conversation. One might be surprised how intelligent she truly is.
The One Who Captured My Heart
No one as of yet has been able to snag the heart of the young assassin, either being undesirable or difficult to catch - in her own mind. Little does she know, she is unaware of her own beauty and how she does indeed capture the hearts of those around her. She assumes all conversation is for business or pleasant conversation.
One must be forward in their affections towards the lone Nekomimi, a weakened approach easily putting her off and instantly discarded for consideration in any form of relationship other than friendly.
Do you dare try to win the girl's love? Her daggers are sharp, if one is brave enough to advance.
