Her family was part of a coastal town in Siltvelt which was attacked and raided by the soldiers of Melromarc. The people, including her parents, were taken and sold into slavery. When Cleo was born, she was taken away from her mother and sold to the highest bidder, which happened to be a noble. This noble kept Cleomine in a fish tank for the longest time and often had her sing to entertain him during the day. Whenever she tried to remain silent, the noble often threatened to do harm to her. The noble had believed that Cleo wouldn't be able to walk or live on land at all, so he often threatened to cut off her tail and just let her die out of the water. It's also because of this belief that he never bothered to put a slave crest on Cleo. One night, Cleo inadvertently learned that wasn't the case. One night, she had accidentally fallen out of the tank, and found that her tail had changed into human legs. She was able to move as she pleased and the noble would be none the wiser! She wanted to run and flee! But she knew that it would be folly to just leave right away. She may be sheltered, but she had heard of monsters and other dangers outside of the noble's home and the fish tank. So, she bided her time. She often remained in the tank during the day, and explored the noble's manor during the night when he was asleep. She honed her stealth during this time as she had to avoid the guards spotting her. During these explorations, she got a lay of the land, gathered some gold that the noble won't miss, and learned of the other slaves that were held here and what was done to them. One night, she was caught stealing a rapier from the noble. He woke up and in her fright, she stabbed the noble before running away. She wasn't sure if she dealt a deadly blow to him, but she wasn't about to stay and find out when she could be captured. She ran to the nearby river as fast as she could, and dove. From there, she swam as far form the manor as possible. It turned out she was a faster swimmer than she was a runner. She reached the capitol city of Melromarc by morning, and was able to take shelter in a kind seamstress's home. If the noble was looking for her, it wasn't apparent during her time in the Capitol City. Thanks to the Seamstress, she learned how to make various disguises so that Cleo would appear human to the citizens. She spent 8 quiet years in the Capitol City with the Seamstress. During her time there, the seamstress introduced her to the violin, and of course, Cleo took to it like a fish to water. With her singing and violin playing skills, she was able to earn some extra gold by performing in the tavern. During her time in the tavern, she heard rumors that the four cardinal heroes were summoned to fight off the Waves. Cleo resolved to fight alongside the Shield Hero if given the chance after hearing that.[/hider] --- [b]Preferred Weapon(s):[/b] Rapier [hider=Appearance of Weapon][img]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0UD0dY8fH9Y/TmgYJURq8sI/AAAAAAAABBQ/d5JlEFswXeA/s400/gemtail_rapier.png[/img][/hider] [b]Abilities of Weapon:[/b] None --- [b]Skills/Abilities:[/b] [hider=Level 1 Skill: Lesser Inspiration]Name of Skill: Lesser Inspiration Abilities of Skill: By giving a slight performance (examples: Words of encouragement, a simple joke, or a small ditty), Cleo can give an ally a slight boost in their attack, in a skill, or in their ability to avoid harm.
