Nell is just learning how to read and write and write this diary as an exercise.

Nell.

Background

Later she has learned that she probably is a Foxglove.

Common Name: Foxglove
Latin Name: Digitalis purpurea
Height: to 10 feet!
Sun Light: Will grow in shady areas
Zones: All, Will readily reseed
Colors: Purple, pink and white
Bloom time: Summer
Soil: Not real picky, will grow in anything
Fertilizer: Any common fertilizer will do
Propagation: Seed, you can start them indoors if so inclined but they are so strong you can direct sow with no troubles at all
Description: Strong growing flower, will flourish in amended deeply worked soils. Perfect of the cottage garden, darker corners of the yard or garden. Every home over 1/2 acre should have these growing. Seeds and plant are poisonous so be careful around children and pets. One of the top ten heirloom flowers.


Nell thought she was born to poor parents in Magnimar and was one of eleven living children. When her father lost his job when the <workplace> burned down, several of the children had to work to help support the family. Nell was only seven years old then and did not take well to her new job. She ran away soon after.

She lived on the streets off alms and what she "found". When growing older it became less easy to get alms and she turned more and more to making use of things others didn't use... or left unattended.

She only once actually cut a purse and had a whole lot of guilt for it later. She knew that the victim wasn't that well to do either.

When she started developing feminine forms, she noted that that got her attention from men. She started to take better care of her looks and got men to freely pay for food and drinks just to have her around.

She found out that adventurers and well to do merchants was the best company and soon she had perfected her techniques. Sometimes she fell in love with her "victims" but it seldom lasted long.

She had seen how people acted when drunk and had always stayed away from alcohol, but one evening some months ago she got too drunk and was raped by a nobleman. When she complained to the city guards they dismissed her. A week later there was a break in and some valuables were missing, but the biggest financial hit was the enormous painting of the nobleman himself that had been slashed.

After that incident she was a lot more careful when choosing who she accompanied. Fortunately she had just come to some funds at that time and had a choice. After her run in with the city guards she didn't trust them and was constantly on the lookout for the nobleman. This was bad for business and shortly after she traveled with a merchant, Bassanio to Sandpoint.

Since then she has been flirting with the locals and living of the last of what she found at the noblemans house and the gifts that she got of Bassanio who was exceedingly generous after an unusually good affair he had done.

Description

Nell is a rather small human of mixed origin. She has dark blond hair but her skin doesn't have that a light complexion. She most often has a tan that let you see several slight scars showing as a little lighter lines.

She dresses provocatively in just enough fabric to be covered. She has two daggers on her back between her shoulders to be drawn downwards. They're usually hidden by her hair but when she expects trouble she puts her hair in a long plait to be out of the way. She also uses a sling that she wears wrapped around her left lower arm.

She smiles a lot which shows her dimples and flirts with most men she meets, but after spending time with her you might notice that she's troubled.
