Character Profile: Svahnnah.

Name: Svahnnah Meyhers.


Place of origin: Ilê De Papillon.


Gender: Female – and damn proud of it.


Birthday: 26th July.


Age: 17, although nobody ever guesses correctly.


History: Complicated; but she was taken into the thief takers after been found - by Jarvis - lying half-dead in a pile of bin-bags. Jarvis has acted as her surrogate father ever since (although Savv refuses to allow anyone to become her mother figure).


Appearance & Personality: Savv has blood red hair, originally shoulder length but now cropped to just below her ears (when one day, she suddenly declared that she wanted to be a boy, but forgot about said deceleration once the cut was done). There are two large, long bangs at the front of her hair though (something to do with "not losing her entire female identity"). Think Sakura, from Naruto. Her favourite accessory is the coloured contact, of which she has an impressive collection. Nobody truly knows what colour her big, kitten-esque eyes are.

However, the first thing you'd probably notice about Svahnnah is that there isn't very much of her. Nobody knows how much she weighs, but 100lbs would be a little generous. She's of an average height for her age - 5'8" - but that's where anything "average" about her abruptly ends.

She holds the wisdom and experience of a fifty year old woman, and yet is known to act as immature as a five year old boy. She can share a silver lining with anyone she meets, and is never slow to compliment something she thinks is worth complimenting, but sees herself through clouds. She wears fantastically outrageous outfits that she - and only she - could ever manage to pull off, while deeply sensitive about drawing attention to herself. There is a reason much larger than simple insecurity as to why this sensitivity exists, but none of the Thief Takers know the full story behind this.

Savv is friendly with everyone, and quick to trust; perhaps a little too quick. She's also extremely loyal to her friends, which can make her very fierce toward people who (in her eyes) breach that loyalty. Those who've known her for a while would describe her as "that strange girl who's never short of a smile"; and this is one of the few things she is proud of.

She's not all good and golden, though. She gets jealous very easily, be that of things and/or people, whether those feelings are necessary or not (for example, an on-going contempt of Aran for challenging her position as the "baby" of the group). She also gets hyperactive very easily, and as the other members of the group are a lot older than her, it normally doesn't go down too well. Unless, of course, they're all hyper too. In which case, things get very interesting. (But they would, wouldn't they, if you had a group of five hyper-active friends in a room together.)


Ability: Svahnnah is the weakest of the team, mainly due to the fact that you can only store so much muscle on a not-quite-100-pound frame. This vulnerability is - almost - made up by her bizarre ability to memorise images to the finest detail. This ability could easily be used to remember a suspect's face, even while standing amongst a crowd. She can do the same for sounds and voices too, able to put recordings to faces without missing a beat.

Due to earlier gymnastics training - Savv doesn't like talking about this much, though - she also possesses amazing agility unrivalled in the group. She doesn't use it much (she says it upsets her) but when required, she'll quite happily scale a building or jump a wall with ease. Coupled with her miniscule frame, she can be smuggled into places no ordinary human could slot. She was once hidden inside a roll of carpet to get information on a certain smuggler from the inside, and it is - to this day - the most successful mission she's ever pulled off alone.

There is a final ability, though, that tends to be exploited more than the other three. Her happy-go-lucky aura, along with the huge kitten-esque eyes and a convincing 13 year old's voice, make her the perfect little "lost damsel in distress" should they ever need to distract any security personnel (and quickly).


Other Skills: Can scream - very, very loudly. Also has two puppies which, when provoked or put in situations where Svahnnah is in danger, fight like demons. (They are generally very timid, though.)


Weaknesses: As aforementioned, she is very weak, and is also bruised and broken easily (both physically and mentally). This fragility could cause the team un-necessary hassle had their opponent done their research; if she were ever to be held hostage, the Thief Takers would - literally - have no choice other than to comply with the kidnapper's requests. Indeed, there is the other option of simply allowing her to be killed, but for some reason - despite Ralkin's constant complaints about her uselessness - Jarvis violently refuses to let this happen. Nobody fully knows why this is.

Svahnnah is also too quick to trust people, and this often lands her into more trouble - outside missions, that is - than the thief takers would like. She has been known to leak classified information to people directly linked to cases they are trying to solve, and once disappeared for four days under the pretence of "going out to lunch with a friend" without any warning. The long weekend remains a Bermuda Triangle, but she didn't return in a state of any sort of shock or anguish, so it was politely forgotten about.

Oh, and - if this counts - she cries too easily.
(That's generally to be expected from a hyper-sensitive 17 year old, though.)


Puppies: As mentioned, has two puppies - Indie (a pre-teen Akita with one ear brown and the other ear white) and Jazz (a black Shiba Inu puppy with enough energy to power a nuclear reactor, much to the annoyance of Ralkin). She can often be found talking to them, although what she says nobody understands - she's speaking in the little-known tounge of Paplonian. This skill is useless however; she is most likely the only person on their continent who speaks it. She's trained the dogs in Paplonian, so nobody knows what she is ordering them to do, either. It makes for some interesting television.


Other: Has a soft spot for shortbread, and eats it with a reverence no priest could ever rival. It's one of the few memories she has of her mother - being treated to shortbread on a hot, musky, morning in April, along with a pretty blue glass full of homemade lemonade. Her mother's picture is carried in a black plastic locket (her family weren't rich enough to afford the standard gold or silver), along with a picture of her two puppies. Has polyphobia.

Finally!
And she really sticks out of the rest of the group, again. She'll make for some interesting turns in the plot this time, too.

Plenty of interesting and mysterious stuff in this profile. Good work!
