Appearance: Ann is not an imposing woman by any means. She is around average height and build and has an innocent grin when combined with a bat of her blue eyes can disarm people in an instant. That's when she strikes picking pockets and snatching food from stalls. She generally wears loose fitting clothes for better movement in a fight or running away. This entails pants, a cloak to hide her face, and a loose fitting t-shirt, but she loves clothes especially shawls. The only jewelry she has are some bronze bangles and some gold earrings. She bears a blue tattoo on her left shoulder and one on her left knee as well. Ann has a toned figure from living a rather hard life a thief on the streets. Her most defining feature are her white wings that are hidden underneath her outfit. They are normal sized wings hardly any different from a normal Skypian's wings, but they clearly mark her as different.

Personality: Ann is generally calm and enjoys life. She revels in creativity and often sits down to enjoy a relaxing book when she can find a secluded spot away from prying eyes. If manageable she'll find a kitchen to make a dish with what she has stolen or in rare cases earned. The creations aren't that great and Ann doesn't have many cook books in her possession. Thus the creations are often rather unappetizing and sometimes down right painful to ingest ,to everyone besides the cook. Thankfully, she doesn't feed the new concoctions to too many people. While she does steal a lot to survive she doesn't take from those who can't afford it. in fact she goes after overpriced rich food sellers since their obviously ripping people off. Despite being fairly easy going most of the time if provoked Ann has been known to hunt down certain people and beat them to a pulp. Station does not matter nor does faction since she has beaten a crooked Marine when he leaned on a local tavern owner for protection money. Of course this means she has to constantly move around to avoid being cornered so it makes her a tad nervous. She constantly looks over her shoulder to make sure she isn't being followed. This also has made her a light sleeper and she constantly has nightmares of one day being caught unaware.
Likes: Food, reading, animals, tropical areas, wealth, and traveling.
Dislikes: Hunger, the cold, Marines, Bounty Hunters, and cruelty
Motivations: Need to escape constant heat from the law, acquiring wealth or food, and wanderlust.
Fears: Starvation, burning, capture, and sea kings.
Behavior/Habits: When not stealing, cooking, or reading Ann tries her hand at painting. When not doing that she helps out the local street urchins by giving home cooked meals. Few things set her temper off instantly, but seeing unnecessary cruelty will often cause her to attack instantly. Ann doesn't like to kill either which is why her main weapon is her body or bo staff, but anyone can kill if pushed far enough. She dreams of finding any remaining relatives on Skypia, but she doesn't know where to start or even if they care. Part of her is afraid of finding out they don't care at all, but the other part wants to know them even if they turn out to be horrible. This thought often keeps her up at night wondering if anyone would have feelings for a relative they thought dead for fourteen years.
History: Despite being born on Skypia Ann has lived on Ilusia much of her life. Around the tender age of four her parents had taken her with them on a trip to attempt to trade goods with the people of the surface world. All was going according to plan until out of the blue ,literally, a seaking appeared and attacked the lightly armed trade vessel. The battle was short and bloody resulting in the destruction of the ship and the death of all those aboard save Ann whom the sea king didn't even deem worth eating since she was so small. Half dead she floated on the wreckage of the ship for almost a day till a passing vessel plucked her out of the water and dumped her off at an orphanage in Ilusia. Any family she had left in Skypia assumed she had died with her parents so no one came looking for her.

Life at the orphanage was atrocious despite how nice the place looked on the outside inside the children suffered. They got just enough food to live off of, but not enough to be healthy. The clothes where tattered and worn, the hygiene was almost nil as was the meager schooling they got, and worst yet some children where even sold on the black market. Finally a few children had enough and simply chose to take their chances on the streets. For a time they did a little better. However, it didn't last long. Children made for easy targets and other homeless often stole what little they got from begging or stealing. The only place they could get a decent meal every now and again was a small church, but more often than not the small church would run out of food before the children got their share.

One by one her friend succumbed to illness, starvation, or assault from another of the poor. Ann almost died when she was caught filching food from a stand by a pair of Marines. The sadistic men beat her nearly to death and left her for dead and if not for one kind soul finding her she'd have died broken in a back alley. An old pirate named Robert nursed her for several days in an abandoned warehouse. Once she was back on her feet he taught her how to survive the harsh life until she could make something out of herself. Sadly Robert didn't live for long and died a year after finding her. After a certain point a normal life in Ilusia became impossible for her. No one wanted a thief working for them.

Wanted by Marine and bounty hunters and too poor to afford a way off the island has left the unfortunate Shandian stranded for now. Perhaps one day soon her fortune will change and allow her to escape her prison and try to find her way back to her homeland or just somewhere far away from the heart ache from Ilusia.
