A Tale of Guns and Bullets

Appearance

Azura is a women of obvious beauty. She is unquestionably not human, her skin almost as white as the snow, a stark contrast against her long, black hair that fades to blood red towards the tips. Her eyes lack pupils and glow faintly of green. A woman of medium height she looks relatively young, although this can be difficult to guess considering one might not initially know her race. Dressed in a wanderer's clothing of sturdy leather over a light chainshirt, her capacity for adventure is somewhat hidden, if you disregard the revolver sitting in its holster at her hip and the musket rifle hanging from her shoulder. Hanging from the butt of each gun is the holy symbol of Desna, supplementing the plethora of symbols and other paraphernalia that is suggested to bring luck.

Family

Brother – Deceased, died in epidemic during childhood
Parents – Alive? Azura has not heard from them in a long time due to her adventuring. She escaped the shadow plane at a young age to get away from the tyranny of the umbral dragons and has since only seen her parents very briefly later in her life.
Extended family – Relatively unknown. Has a grandmother on her father's side that was a skilled warrior, something she has heard through stories. She became something of an idol and rolemodel for Azura.

Goals/Motivations/Personality

Short term, her goal is to survive and avoiding becoming a slave like so many other fetchlings under the umbral dragons' rule. Azura holds a certain amount of hate towards dragons at large due to this – mostly towards those of Chromatic ones, but she doesn't trust the Metallic ones either – as well as slavery in general, which can sometimes cause conflicts in areas where it is common with slavery.
Long term, her goal is to become as famous – or even more so – as her grandmother and showing the world that you can commit great deeds as a woman, that it's not just men that can. To do this Azura has acted as a mercenary to spread her name, which has provided her with contacts, friends as well as enemies.
Despite the fact that Azura's moral compass not always points north she usually wants to do good, but can sometimes do morally questionable things for money or for her own benefit. She does not usually dwell long on such things as laws and rules, instead trusting her own common sense. If someone intends to hurt her, she has no problem with killing that person before they can do anything.
Azura is also somewhat superstitious and takes a number of sayings and myths about luck completely seriously, something she maintains has saved her live on numerous occasions.

Background

Growing up in the shadow plane is rather dull unfortunately. As all other fetchlings on the shadow plane she grew up under the umbral dragons' rule, something most fetchlings seem to simply accept and make the best of it. This was not the case with Azura. She was always something of a rebel and tried to do as she pleased as much as she could, not wishing to do someone else's bidding. This lead to a number of punishments, sometimes simply house arrest and others actual corporeal punishment. Eventually she got enough and found a way to escape, still as a little girl, to the material plane. Here – without any family or anyone to take care of her – she had to fend for herself. This she did by playing the innocent little orphan girl – not all that far from the truth – and by stealing. She quickly became very good at it. In the end, a good-natured woman found her and decided to take her in. It was thanks to this woman that Azura later started down the path to become a gunslinger. The woman told her stories of things and deeds that she had done in her youth, since she was now too old to continue her adventuring. She was however not too old to teach Azura how to take care of firearms and how to use them.
Rarely did Azura return home – once a year at the most – and not always to visit her parents.
