To my partners; apologies for the lax responses, I just split up with my boyfriend so things are a bit crazy.

Apologies for the delay in responses; I kinda quit my job for a whole host of reasons, so needless to say, things are hectic.

Not completely finished, but first draft of my character for you to have a look at.
Name: Corina ‘the Wicked Lady’ Sydow
Physical Attributes: Corina is cagey about giving any solid information about herself away, but she is clearly a woman in her late twenties-early thirties. She stands at 5’8” and had a lithe build from her work as a highway woman. Corina’s hair is a shade somewhere between dark auburn and chocolate; it reaches her waist and is almost always tied out of the way in a long, single braid. Her skin has pink undertones and, despite her time outside, due to the clothing she wears it is still pale. Her eyes, which are often her only visible feature, are hazel in colour and probing. Corina only wears dark shade clothes and chooses comfort over style; she always has a cloth tied around her neck that she will use to cover her lower face when committing a robbery.
Mental Attributes: Corina is not necessarily a loner, but she trusts no one so would not regard anyone she knows as anything closer than an acquaintance. She is self-reliant and determined, a sneak and con-artist. She is not the kind of person you would trust with your dog, let alone your life. Corina sees opportunity in everything and is not afraid to get her hands dirty to come out on top. Despite everything, she has a wicked sense of humour and is surprisingly open to chat in social situations (just don’t believe a word she is saying).
History: Corina was born to travelling merchants. For the most part, she lived a peaceful childhood; however, she also felt that it was incredibly dull. One day, during her teens, Corina was traveling with her father from one town the city over when their carriage was hijacked by a highwayman. Corina could not help but fall in love with the adrenaline and danger of the situation. She ended up bumping into the highwayman when they had finally arrived at the city, penniless but with their lives; instead of turning him in, Corina absconded with him.
Corina lived with this man for several years, learning all of his tricks. Slowly, her infamy grew, for she was as ruthless and deceptive as any who had come before her. The one thing her partner had always taught her was to trust no one; unfortunately, he did not listen to his own advice. The highwayman fell in love with Corina, which she played to her advantage for years before handing him in to the authorities for a sizable bounty when the time was right. This betrayal earned her the moniker ‘The Wicked Lady’.
Corina was travelling to Temnorapool as she was considering upping her game, from holding up single carriages to trains. To do this, she knew she would need other gang members, but also to experience the journey first hand, so she knew it’s routes before she might attack.
My first thoughts were something a bit like the ability to see when someone is going to die (because, original, ey?), but because the character has some sorta Munchausen by Proxy type thing and they wanna play the hero by saving everyone they know is close to death.
But also I'm not convinced by my own idea, so there's that.
◇ Older twin to her brother, Aerin. ◇ One half of the ‘Demon Knights of Death and Hellfire’; she is ‘the Death Knight’, while Aerin is the ‘the Hellfire Knight’. ◇ Aeris’ father died when she was sixteen; her mother succeeded the throne in his stead. ◇ Aeris was the only sibling who could be married for the alliance; Aerin was already married to a noble from another Kingdom, while Xeriph is a high priest and thus ‘married to the Church’. ◇ Aeris and Aerin are army majors, jointly commanding the cavalry squadron known as 'the Mercy Dragoon'. ◇ Aeris lost her right arm when she was eighteen and she was still a Lieutenant; her platoon was ambushed and she was one of only four survivors.
Qaeltine Royal Family
◆ (43/52) King (deceased) Calyx Volinix, the 'Martyr King' ◆ (45) Queen Kelis Volinix, the 'Warpath Widow' ◆ (25) First Prince Aerin Volinix, the ‘Demon Knight Hellfire’ ◆ (22) Second Prince Xeriph Volinix, the ‘Hallowed Prince’
Heyhey! Just posting so you know I have read this! Nor responded yet because my head is really stuffy and I'm struggling to write anything decent.
Quick query though; is my reaper already human at this point? Or is Lee's near death the catalyst (or, hey, time can work differently for reapers so could be both).
