Traits:
	[hider=Traits]
.	Shadow Stealth- Grey can become invisible to the eyes of any accustomed to the light, any who do not live in the shadows. She hides in plain sight, and remains perfectly hidden until the moment she attacks. 

	Shadow Sight- Grey can see the slightest changes in the shadows, be they cast on the wall or from the folds of a face. She has adapted to have incredible reflexes to these micro-aggressions, reacting with fantastic speed. In addition, she can see through the dark, just as well as others can see in the light. In bright lights, though, her senses can be overloaded, and her reactions are slower.

	Shadow Illusions- Grey can sing from the shadows illusions, like folded paper become beasts. The longer she maintains them, the more real they become. In the beginning, they are mere wisps which can be blown away by a breath of wind, but gradually, they will take on more physical effects, eventually becoming actual beasts of shadow. She may also summon weapons, and shields- she is partial to dual-wielding daggers. They can be dispelled at any time, but only by Grey's hand. They only obey her will. If she cannot sing, she cannot summon or properly command and maintain the shadows.

	Shadow Dance- Grey can travel between shadows that she can see. This can be used as a long distance teleportation method, or, she may simply flicker between the shadows as though dancing, to distract or confuse opponents. While teleporting, she is ethereal, and cannot be touched- but she cannot touch others, either. She cannot bring anyone with her through the shadows, but her Shadow Beasts may follow her if she so commands.

Physical Description:
	From her elven father, Grey inherited her dark eyes. Her hair twists in tiny ringlets, surrounding her face as though a halo of brown and gold. She has the knife ears which betray her taboo half breed existence, though she hides them beneath her mass of luscious hair. Her human mother granted her dark skin, and a propensity towards freckles. Her height is also lesser than most elves, tending towards the human female average.
	In casual situations, Grey wears a long, grey robe, which covers her entire body. The fabric is silk, and devoid of any designs or runes. Its sole decoration is a hood, which casts a shadow over her face, allowing her an automatic invisibility of sorts, so that she may blend in, or slip away from any crowd. On quests, and especially during battle, Grey wears a black cloak, over a grey dress. This grey dress, composed of some silk-like material, is enchanted such that it seems to blend into the shadows. The black cloak bears the symbol of her bardic college on its back, a matter of pride, rather than protection.
	Her one deviation from these plain dressings is her propensity towards flowers. Occasionally, she can be seen with white flowers in her hair. They are the buds of spring blossoms from the Broken Isles, and no one questions how she obtains such things. The petals dot her hair like the freckles dot her skin; careless, and natural, a mark of nature upon her visage.

Personality:
	Grey keeps to herself. An outsider to the worlds of both of her parents, without a real family as a child, she has come to see the Guild as more than a home than most. They are the first to accept her for herself, despite her strange identity as a half breed. She is quiet, and solemn, seldom smiling. Her one joy in life is her music- when no one is around, she will practice the oud, and sing. She does not like loud things, or bright things- they overwhelm her senses, due to an unfortunate combination of synesthesia, and agoraphobia. In such instances, she will retreat to a dark corner, and meditate in the shadows. She does not trust easily. She can watch a man die, and not blink an eye, but she cannot stand to see nature harmed. Men have always despised her, while nature has always welcomed her. 

Extra Details:
	Grey plays the Oud, and quite well. She graduated from the Elven Bardic College of Garelm at the age of twenty with high marks, but had her credentials revoked when her status as a half breed was revealed by a rival.
	Grey has never met her mother. She owns one tiny painting of her, made by her artist father before the woman tragically died.
	Grey has never been accepted into either the human or elven communities- both regard her as a lesser being, even those who consider all races equal, as interbreeding is highly frowned upon.
	Grey owns few things- her only three real belongings are the painting, her oud, and her graduation cloak.
	Grey sleeps during the day, and wakes at night; she switches her sleeping pattern when quests demand she must.
