[b]Bio/Summary:[/b]
	Szeren grew up as a nameless orphan in a fishing town on the southern coast of the empire. Anything she wanted, she stole. Even her own name was overheard from a foreign sailor by the docks. She knew that this life was anything but sustainable. Even so it was a means of supporting herself.The other orphans on the streets were her family and she shared with them what she took. It wasn't from some heroic outlaw fantasy but a means of mutual support. At any time it could have been her that was injured and starving. Through cooperation they neither thrived or withered away. It was years of survival on the edge of failure.

	Enlistment in the Imperial Army became a way out of that volatile life. She saw it as no more dangerous than life on the streets but with more regular meals and clothing provided. She used the last of her coin to craft a more acceptable appearance. Eventually a promising recruit was pulled away from a future as an anonymous grunt and sent off to the Cadenza Military Academy. As evidence of her former skill as a thief, nothing of a her past remained to follow her along to her new life.
[b]Vessel:[/b]
	Cloak of Shadows
		Standby: A pitch black cloak that draws the eye like a bottomless pit.
		Active:	The cloak becomes a mass of shadow than can be freely manipulated within line of sight. The amount of shadow is inversely dependent on the amount of light that falls on the area. In full daylight it covers the amount of area that would be covered by the cloak and full darkness unleashes an entire rooms worth of shadow.
[b]Abilities:[/b]
	Szeren's sole ability is the manipulation of her Vessel. It can be used remotely but is more responsive in contact with herself or her possessions. a touch can affix a portion of shadow in a more permanent way. The density can also be manipulated which affects the available volume as well.
Equipment:
	A pair of swords, one long and slender and the other shorter. Both can be used at once, but this is done only occasionally. Szeren also has a light crossbow when more range is needed.
