>Appreciate the effort and creativity shown here. Did you craft this character around the thread task, or was she pre-existing and just fit well for it?
Pre-existing character, fresh write-up and image gen for the dialogue. She was an NPC for a homebrew game I ran that began in a small floating town in Elemental Air. The PCs began at level 7. In the first session while one PC was wandering around the town on her own, she got pick-pocketed by Sultana, losing 3d6 coins (out of ~500)
Thing is that even in the Elemental Planes, most people only tend to have copper or silver coins. The PC only had gold. So a couple seconds after realizing she'd been pick-pocketed, she heard, down an alley, a kid exclaim "holy crap, foreigners are LOADED!"
Sultana was the daughter of what amounted to the leader of the thieves' guild in the city, but was beginning to feel stifled and restless. Her mom used to be a smuggler, she used to travel the planes, she wanted to do that again.
She was kidnapped during a slaver raid on the city (long story), but managed to escape herself and was picked up by the PCs while they were chasing the slavers. Stuck around on their airship. Basically was the cabin girl for their time in Elemental Air.
I liked her a lot. Every now and then I contemplate writing up a short story starring her that begins with her standing at the edge of a floating island and considering jumping off. Which in any other context sounds suicidal, but in the context of Elemental Air is more like standing at the edge of a railroad track waiting for a train to roll by so you can hop on it and start wandering.
