Bard

Description/Personality:
She is medium in build, but very fast. Her face is aquiline, heritage of her southern ancestry. Her skin is dark, especially in northern Valdemar. A scar runs from her right eye to the bottom of her mouth. The eye has partial vision.
She is a friendly person despite her foreboding appearance, to some. She delights in using the "barbarian" image to play with courtiers and will sometimes dress in very odd, non authentic clothing, for fun. People often say she is too fond of food and drink. This may be so but she doesn't let it interfere when someone's in trouble. It is bandied about that she isn't as loyal as she could be. Jiran shrugs these rumors off, chalking them up to still remaining bad feeling to her father's people.
History/Background:
She was born on the Border between Karse and Rethwellan to a Karsite father and a mage from one of the towns on the edge of the Plains. They were serving as mecenaries, and expected her to join teh company when she got old enough. Unfortnalety, the many of the company were killed in a battle between nobles. Her parents were among the many dead warriors. The company slowly dissolved. She stayed on for awhile, running errands and doing odd jobs, but eventually traveled to Valdemar, without checking in with the government as she was ignorant of the customs and laws.
She figured to make it as a stable worker, or possibly a fighter in the gaurd. Finding job oppurtunities for a fifteen year old girl who couldn't even speak the tongue was a little difficult so she settled for theivery as a trade.
She was dissauded from this idea by the untimely jailing of her partners in crime. Instead, she took a gittern, convenitenly left on the ground, albeit in front of a music makers'. From there, she learned that she had an aptitude for the thing. Unfortunately the owner of the instrument got the gaurd and within months she was in jail. She was realeased when a Bard heard her singing angrily, to annoy the gaurds. She has been at the collegium since that time.
