> With a small whisper, from the corner of your eyes sight, you hear this thief What do we know: You're a female drow thief with no scars or other marks on your face. From this we infer that either you're very good at what you do or you've led an easy life. What's needed: That's all well and good, but certainly after looking at you I know more than that. I know what kind of clothes you're wearing, therefore I can take a guess as to your relative wealth or status in society. I know how long your hair is, how well-kempt you are, whether or not there is a smell associated with your presence. I might catch a glimpse of your weaponry, a lead-filled sack, or sack of tinkling coinage, therefore I can assume you're a thief. I might notice your weapon of choice, do you like daggers or do you prefer maces, knowing that an assassin could leap out of the shadows at any moment and a mace is a better weapon to have in hand. Actions: Do you whisper to every person that looks at you? Maybe you spend all of your time in the shadows so you only whisper to duergars, arbiters, thieves, and assassins? Take the whispering out.

> You get the impression that this drow hasn't had a difficult life.
> There are no scars or permanent marks on her face.
> Though, this could just mean that her skills are top notch.
