(Abandoning Hoodwink and Ruse and making it/them an NPC to interact with later in a future story. If I could get a name change to Whirda and my other joining thread deleted, I'd sincerely appreciate it.)
Character Name: Whirda Windstrom
Character Source: Original, Forgotten Realms

Traditional utility knives, both about twenty inches, with inwardly curved blades designed to turn away enemy weapons and deal shallow, agile attacks.
Cyclonic Prison: 300
Whirda strikes the target with her kukris, summoning a cyclone of buffeting winds around them, preventing them from moving for a few seconds. This move does no damage and is primarily used to facilitate positioning or escape. Requires disable proficiency.
Gust: 300
Whirda strikes the target with a kukri, summoning a gust of wind. If used on an ally, the gust can propel them quickly forward or knock them to safety. If used on an enemy, the gust can knock them in target direction if they are light, or hold them back momentarily if they are heavy. Requires disable proficiency.
Reincarnation Point: The Nexus
Character History: Born in the city of Waterdeep, the daughter of an influencial lord and his mistress, Whirda's life has always been a study in contrasts. On one hand, bred for a life of genteel aristocracy, schooled in politics, history, and etiquette, taught the final art of charisma and social engineering from a young age. Her father was protective, not of his daughter, but of the blow to his reputation she represented. She was cloistered, and told little of her past. She never knew the lord's wife, the woman she called her mother, was, in fact, not.
When Whirda was fifteen, and her father was embroiled in an election threatening to see him dethroned, the secret finally came to light. Her mother, an accomplished mercenary and battle-mage, returned to Waterdeep to see her daughter freed from a life of hollow pomp and circumstance. The illusion shattered, Whirda's father lost the election and descended into shame and social rejection.
When Whirda met her mother, she was enchanted. The sharp blades and battle-pocked armor, the complex spells calling the very wind to her mother's command, all of it fascinated her. Furious with her father's deception and desperate to escape the quiet refinement of life in Waterdeep, she chose to go with her mother to her home in Luskan, eight hundred miles to the north.
In Luskan, things were different. The city was ruled by pirate lords and thugs, a place of constant battle, suspicion, political treachery. Her mother taught her the way of the sword and of simple magic, and she proved almost prodigally apt. By seventeen, she was the agent of a powerful pirate lord, flitting over the rooftops of the city to carry out missions and deliver messages, often with a heavy dose of violence. She was in love.
Whirda and her mother, both separately and as a team, soon garnered a reputation as two of the most cunning, able mercenaries in the city. Still in her early twenties, for Whirda this was a blessing and a curse. She loved the notoriety, but it brought with it a fair share of envy and desire for vengeance from competing agents.
On her twenty-third birthday, disaster struck in the form of a poisoned crossbow quarrel. Whirda survived the attack, barely. Her mother did not. She was killed, and Whirda was forced to flee the city, cast into exile by the very reputation she fought so hard to cultivate.
She plans to return to her home, to the city, to topple the house of the lord who took her mother, to kill his agents and see his head on a pike on the city walls. For now, though, she answers a call to the Omniverse, to see what adventures lie in store for her there.
