Birth Name:
Katrina Raven Smith

Assassin Name:
Raven (Also her nickname to close friends. She doesn't like being called Katrina for  she has no memory of that name, and it has no significance to her.)

Age:
17

Rank:
Ex Assassin / Healer Trainee

Physical Appearance:
She has long straight Raven locks of hair, which was why her parents gave her the middle name. She usually keeps her hair straight down her back or in braids. She is average height, around 5'4'' with blue eyes and a light tan complexion. She is nothing special, and not overly pretty, but she has a sort of mystery about her that intrigues a lot of people.

Personality:
Raven is full of confidence, and with that comes her competitive nature. In her old trade in order to survive you had to be competitive, so she thrives on her competitiveness. She has a very spitfire attitude, nothing gets in her way and if you insult her, you will never hear the end of it. In her new home she is slow to trust people. She is still very unsure if they will accept her, and she is very secretive of her past.

Brief History:
Raven, was born Katrina Raven Smith, though she has no memory of her former family. She was born to a young couple in Rethwellen. Her parents owned an antique shop in a small village far outside of the capital city. They made it by, but didn't have quite the luxuries that some did.

One day when she was nearly 5 years old her father took her to Rethwellen's capital city to sell some antiques at a stand he had set up for the county fair. He left her to mingle about at the shops while he set up his stand, and before she knew it she was being pulled away by two elder men. She tried screaming for help but she was gagged before a sound came out of her mouth. She was then sold to a middle aged man named Kestler. Kestler was an assassin in his younger days and now worked training younger assassin's to keep the trade going.

Keslter had another apprentice along with Raven named Jeff. Jeff was also Ravens same age and stolen from his family by kidnappers. Jeff and Raven became fast friends during their training with Kestler. Kestler was not a mean man by any means. He treated his apprentices well. When they achieved their missions they would be fed well, and they were given their own rooms in an inn on the poorer side of town, yet they were still rooms.

Raven loved Kestler, and she grew to love Jeff even more. The two of them bonded so firmly one could say it was as close as a lifebond. Though one night on a mission of theirs, something went horribly wrong. Raven was caught on her way escaping by the families dogs sounding the alarm, and an elder man came running out of the house. Jeff came back to help her escape and he managed to get her free. They both climbed the fence but as soon as they reached far enough to get away Jeff was shot by an arrow almost right through his chest. He fell to the ground gasping for breath and Raven panicked.

She fell down to the ground with him holding his hands. "Jeff Jeff, please don't die.." She begged as tears fell down her cheeks. He just smiled up at her with those loving eyes. "Raven, I love you."

A sobbing Raven, held his hand in her arms and prayed to all the gods that they help her heal him. Suddenly she felt something in her body stir. The blood on Jeff's chest began to lessen, but it was too late to save him. She could tell by the look on his face that at least the pain had decreased and she wondered if the gods had answered her prayer somewhat.

She dragged him over to a nearby tree and laid him down and ran as quick as she could to see the village healer. She fell down at the doorstep exhausted as she looked up panting for breath the healers gazed at her with awestruck faces. "Child quickly come with us, we will send someone out for your lover. You have the gift of healing. We need to get you trained. Haven is the only place you will go that can train your strength of gift. We will make a proper funeral for Jeff. For now just rest."

A few weeks later she was transported by a Healer caravan to Haven. It was a long journey from Rethwellen and everything she knew. She was afraid, but somehow she knew she would do what she had to.

Gifts:

1) Maybe find her parents again. She is still wary of her past before Kestler, and not sure if her parents would even want to see her after the things she has done.

2) Master her healing abilities so she can move on with her life

3) Master herself, She doesn't know if she can even make the transition from assassin to healer.
