Hope

Hope is a young tiefling girl who was hired by the Aurum Order as a tomb raider.

Description
Hope is a short tiefling with fair skin that has a pinkish hue to it. She has thick and wavy dark red hair styled like a fluttering flag. She has big, round, friendly eyes that are like white orbs with a hint of warmth in the center of them. Her horns curl like a ram's.

On her shoulder, she has a tattoo of jagged teeth that she tries to keep covered up. She dresses in simple clothing.

Hope has a friendly demeanor and a great interest in history. She has low self-esteem and is jealous of 'normies.'

Background
Hope was born to a human mother and tiefling father. Her mother wanted nothing to do with her, and her father dropped her off with her biological grandfather, Chief, and his girlfriend, Makaria, in the town of Brushmoor. Chief named the baby Makaria, after her "grandmother."

Throughout her life, Hope was raised by Chief and Makaria. She never met her mother, and only saw her father on a few occasions. For all intents and purposes, Chief and Makaria were her parents. Chief was always abundantly kind to Hope, but Makaria was a strict authority figure.

As she grew up, Hope came to realize that her grandparents were grifters. It was by her adolescence that she started to become appalled at some of the things she realized her family was doing, and by her teens, her aging grandparents were trying to bring her into the family business to carry on their legacy. She did not want this life, but she loved her grandfather dearly, and she let his warm smile and kind words convince her that he was a good man.

Shortly after Hope turned 16, Chief died of old age. The following months were hell for Hope, as Makaria's means of mourning seemed to be becoming an insufferable dictator to the teenage tiefling. Before she turned 17, Hope ran away from home and cut off her family completely. It was at this point that she gave herself the name "Hope," ready to begin her new life.

However, Hope soon found that life as a tiefling would be lonely and arduous. Due to racism, job opportunities were rare, and friendships even rarer. As she traveled North East, trying to get as far away from Brushmoor as possible, she eventually settled in a city and found a gang of teenagers who brought her into their fold. They each had a tattoo on their shoulder, and soon enough Hope got tattooed as well. For the first time in her life, Hope believed she had friends outside of her family. However, once she came to realize that they were just using her and weren't good people, she left them as well.

By age 18, Hope wound up as a peasant working the land under a Farraji master. That was when she was found and hired by the Aurum Order.
