•Appearance•
There is something timeless about Pixie's appearance. It's almost as though she's completely resistant to the cruel poison of time. The hands of the clock seem to have little effect on this woman. She radiates a strange combination of innocence and maturity, something that makes her age hard to place. Her face is yet to be tainted by wrinkles or imperfections, and often it seems the passing of years will never have an effect on her beauty.

Her eyes are an almost luminous green color, filled with mischief and wonder. Her smile sometimes seems to be a permanent fixture on her full lips, and shines just as brightly as her eyes. Her facial features look younger than they are, though not entirely childlike. Her appeal is more traditional than the unconventional attractiveness some possess, but she catches one's eye nonetheless.

The expanse of her skin is sun kissed and golden, as though she's been bathed in honey. The surface seems nearly immaculate, excluding the few minuscule nicks, scrapes and scars on her arms and legs from missions. Pixie is freckle-less and free from any major blemishes, which only adds to her agelessness.

She is somewhere between an average height and being tall. Her stature is rather slim, but still decently curved and quite toned. Pixie has a tapering figure, though not an exaggerated one. She comes across as feminine in both looks and general aura.

Her hair is dirty blonde in color, with waves running through as a result of her close proximity to ocean. Her locks reach her waist and is usually left un-styled, even when she's sent out on missions. Her eyebrows contrast greatly with the rest of her hair, prominent and dark in color, though they do not steal from her allure.

Pixie adores pretty things, and will often reject practicality for anything and everything with visual appeal. She likes wearing garments with patterns and embellishments. Her wardrobe is varied and not entirely her own. The colors of all her clothes are soft, and the fit is always elegant, but the where she gets it from differs from garment to garment. For missions, her apparel is more suited towards the cause, but in her everyday life, she likes a little extravagance.

Pixie is always one to accessorize. She adorns her hair with all sorts of shiny and delicate things simply because she finds joy in it. Her neck and collarbones are rarely bare. However, her un-pierced ears stay clear of her collection of jewels, pearls and flowers. Pixie is a woman who truly believes in the sentiment that she can never be overdressed. Her feet are the only other body part that seem to stay bare.

•Personality•
Pixie is someone who completely lacks ambition. She has no motive, and is like a child in the sense that she does only what she's been taught. She lives a life with no goal nor reason, besides the fulfillment of her own needs. She has no vendetta against anyone, mainly because she is void of any kind of memory of her life before she was 21.

Pixie only knows that which she was taught by the other assassins of Rèvma. They are the only family she can remember and she trusts them wholeheartedly. She's deduced that her real family either didn't want her, or they're dead. But she isn't one to dwell on the past she can't remember. It's almost like she was reborn, still very much an adult, but without any real knowledge or fully formed memories of life before being an assassin. She's been rewired, a blank slate at 21 and now a gifted assassin at 30.

Pixie shares the morals and beliefs of the assassins. Her core values aren't her own, and is something she follows very loosely. She's obedient to her "family" for the most part, but is the kind of person that does what she wants solely because she want to. She acts on instinct and often carelessly. She's entirely impulse. Pixie can be very reckless, mostly because she can't see when she is acting in such a way. She simply goes on without a care in the world, happy to have home and people willing to supply her with necessities.

She isn't necessarily murderous, but enjoys toying with people. The killing isn't the fun part for her, playing with her victims is what gives her the biggest thrill. She's a master of deceit and a talented manipulator. She might not be the most intelligent person, but she certainly knows how to push someone's buttons. Pixie lost any kind of sense of right and wrong along with her memories, causing her to have a very skew moral compass. She doesn't see anything wrong with her actions, because no one she trusts has ever really told her otherwise.

Pixie is playful and giggly; a generally happy person who finds a lot of her joy in tampering with the feelings of others. She is fun loving, and her reason for doing anything is "just because". Pixie is a very lively person and a bit allover the place. Playing games and using her assets to her advantage gives her a high that she can't seem to stop chasing.

She is a busy body, loud and incapable of sitting still. Not only does she lust after other people, but she is constant in her lust for adventure. Pixie cannot stand being bored or staying in one place for too long, she has to constantly be moving and doing things to keep herself occupied. This can make her annoying and completely overwhelming a lot of the time.

Pixie, though both childish and vivacious, is also stubborn and highly protective of what she cares for. She is prone to obsessiveness, therefore if she likes something or someone, she'll go to any length to protect it. Perhaps she can be considered loyal to a fault, but having her on your side is quite beneficial.

A strange and often times dangerous woman, Pixie isn't one to mess with. She fully intends to stay without a vendetta and will therefore take care of anyone before they can even find themselves on her personal list. To Pixie, life is a game, and she loves being a player. But be warned, she isn't bothered by playing dirty.

•Background•
The fact that she has no recollection of her upbringing and early adulthood doesn't bother her in the slightest. However, you might be curious, so here it is:

The first born of a young, lower class couple, Poppy Marshall came into the world healthy and screaming at the top of her little lungs. Sh was a bit of a handful since the get-go, but loved and cared for nonetheless. Alice and Henry were stablehands to a high class Lord in Exousiá, and though poor, planned on giving their new born baby the daughter the world.

It was only nine months after their golden child was born, that the Marshalls welcomed their second child. Poppy was too young to properly comprehend the presence of the other child, but was obsessed right away. Her younger brother, Fern, was her new favorite plaything and she adored him. But only four months after her siblings birth, he passed away in the dead of a warm summer night. Alice and Henry were devastated, and poor little Poppy just wanted her obsession returned to.

After two more tragic deaths of two more young children in the following few years, the Marshall's began to consider little Poppy their miracle child, because she was after all, the only living one. Poppy couldn't understand why every time she was given a biological friend, they were taken away and this took a toll on her. She despised being alone, and having no one to play with.

Finally a month after Poppy's seventh birthday, a tiny brown-haired bundle of joy came into her life. Marigold Marshall was born without any ailments, a completely healthy baby girl.
Marigold was everything to Poppy and she intended on keeping her forever. Possibly a bit obsessed, Poppy spent every waking moment with her little sister ensuring she stayed very much alive. And for five years, the Marshall family was a happy and content one.

However, one night, after Marigold had been misbehaving, her father (a loving man, who also sometimes loved his alcohol) beat her. It wasn't anything too serious, but Poppy saw and  something went off deep within her. He hurt her favorite thing in the whole entire world and she wasn't about to let him get away with it, even if he was her father.

Henry Marshall was found dead due to a head injury the very next day. Alice Marshall was now without a job, because her station was only as high as her husbands. And a dead man has no station. The three girls were without any kind of means of a comfortable life and for four years they struggled. But Poppy was happy, because Poppy had Marigold. Alice Marshall passed on four winters after her husband's demise, an aged and ill woman given over to the clutches of death.

Poppy and Marigold were on their own and forced to spend their time scavenging for food on the streets. But Poppy was still happy, because Poppy had Marigold. Soon, sixteen year old Poppy discover another way of getting by a little easier and lived with the label of whore for a good few months. And when autumn came, and the cold winds brought opportunity, Poppy was forced to accept.

A man simply named Mr. Witherspoon, took notice of the young blonde's pretty face and offer her a job as a showgirl with his "traveling, entertainment based brothel". With the negotiation that her little sister be taken care of, Poppy agreed and told Marigold she had joined the circus. They two sisters were moved to Zestasía, where Poppy worked under Mr. Witherspoon for many years.

They lived rather peacefully with the warm desert plains as the brothel's headquarters. Poppy was allowed to bring Marigold wherever the "circus" travelled. And though her job had her shamed by the general public, Poppy was happy because Poppy had Marigold. Poppy gained many skills during this period, and noticed that Marigold did too, though much quicker. Poppy soon realized just how smart her little sister really was, and vowed that Marigold would lead a better life than the one Poppy was living.

Poppy was barely 21 when she got into an argument with Mr. Witherspoon who wanted Marigold to join the business. Poppy refused, knowing she had promised her sister more than the life of a whore. In his anger, Mr. Witherspoon pushed Poppy overboard their ship traveling back to Zestasía after completely business in Pali. It was assumed that Poppy Marshall drowned.

She opened her eyes a day later, and with a throbbing and bloodied head, she was no longer Poppy Marshall. In reality, she was no longer anyone, just a shell of a woman with a hell of a headache. Alone on a beach, the woman went searching for help. She didn't find help for weeks until an assassin caught her skillfully stealing some food from a merchant bewitched by her beauty.

The pretty woman was welcomed into the assassins of Rèvma's home, and trained as an assassin herself. She couldn't quite recall where she learned the art of seduction, but she was grateful to her former self and whatever she had spent her time learning. Her skillset made for a wonderful killer as it would turn out. The doting elder sister became the memoryless mischievous assassin. Poppy became Pixie.
