    Equipment: Levia gears herself appropriately for the virtues of stealth, swiftness and pragmatics. Over her basic pale brown sleeveless tunic comes a tough breastplate of black leather strapped firmly to her figure. Tied to her waist by a black leather belt are two brown pouches, one set on each side of her hip and each containing a supply of crossbow bolts, mini bombs, stolen Rupees, and whatever else she needs to hold if she can afford the space. Her forearms are wrapped with ragged bandages that reach her elbow and cover most of her hands with the exception of her fingers. Her feet are wrapped with the same bandaging over her shins and instep, but also come equipped with knee high black leather boots made thin for quick movement. All of this comes underneath a voluminous black hooded cloak that she uses to conceal herself and her tools. The cloak's length stops at the top of her knees, leaving her legs and chin the only things visible when wearing it.

    If combat becomes inevitable, Levia prefers a long-ranged approach. Her weapon of choice is a wooded crossbow that appears surprisingly well-maintained for someone of her background. However, her favorite tool is her trusty Clawshot, of which she uses for quick getaways, snatching objects from afar and, when her crossbow isn't enough, brutal long-ranged grapples. The device is made mostly of metal, save for the leathery guarding around the trigger, and though obviously cared for and maintained its age is rather apparent by its visible wears.

    Levia wears a common black eye-patch over her right eye that serves no other purpose than to make her look tough. In fact, that was the idea behind her entire outfit. The tougher she looks, the more intimidated adversaries would be and the less likely she would be forced into hostile confrontation. At least in theory.

    Appearance: Underneath her formidable apparel is an image you would not expect to be fit for cutthroat criminal activity. With light skinned, straight dirty blonde hair cut down to chin length for practicality, a rather attractive feminine face save for a rough expression and a minor scar or two, she would almost seem out of place in a room full of greedy, brutish bandits. Her most prominent feature, however, is her bright emerald green eyes that seem to glimmer in the presence of something she desires and the fierce determination that came with it. It was this gaze that earned her the nickname "Rupee-eyed Raider."

    Levia is built with a lithe, leggy build, stands roughly 5'5 feet and weighs a little over 100 pounds. Though she isn't physically adept by any means, her strongest asset is her long legs and her ability to run and sprint rather swiftly for the average Hylian. Levia is confident in her lower body strength, and when long-ranged combat isn't an option, she has no qualms with using deadly kicks for melee combat.

    Personality: There are many rumors about the Rupee-eyed Raider that may often concern the common folk of Darunia. Some claim that she is a soulless woman who would riddle you with arrows just for a few spare Rupees. Others claim that she was a fearless and cunning bandit who was skilled enough to even rob trained soldiers with ease. One of Levia's favorite rumors is where she's known as a harbinger of death who lets no one leave her sight without payment of riches or one's very life.

    All of these claims are false. Completely false.

    In truth, Levia isn't as cutthroat as she would like others to believe. Though feisty and short-tempered, she is anything but a cold-blooded murderer, preferring to sidestep such confrontations altogether if possible and will run from a fight if convinced of an absence of rewards for a victorious outcome. When that is not an option, she'll rely on her cunning and creativity to best an adversary, though she's hardly confident enough to attempt to mug trained warriors. Levia is often sarcastic and snide, usually mistaken for being naturally apathetic and harsh. Behind her distant words, however, a genuine kindness and concern can be detected through her tone to the right kind of people. She is just as motivated by guilt as she is by greed, and will go out of her way to aid someone even if it doesn't benefit her, albeit begrudgingly.

    Lying in the darker corners of Levia's heart is a hatred and jealousy that drove her to the path of thievery. She'll have no problem targeting and inconveniencing the more fortunate even when the reward is nothing more than the satisfaction to spite them. This bitter envy often clashes with her innate kindness and unwillingness to harm others if she doesn't have to.

    Background: With no recollection or knowledge of her birth parents, Levia spent much of her childhood at an orphanage. Reserved and awkward around unfamiliar people, she had little hopes for adoption. Even when she went out of her way to seem helpful with tasks such as tidying the establishment, she could never seem to grasp anyone's interests. Levia had little friends in the orphanage, but even that small number began to diminish as she watched the other children around her be loved and adopted by wealthy families one by one. Even at such a young age, she felt bitter and hated the good fortune she felt denied. At the age of 8, Levia grew tired of waiting and ran away from the orphanage and into the Lost Woods.

    It was there, out in the wilderness, where Levia found an adoptive parent.

    A grizzled, eye-patched bandit by the name of Colton, also known as "One-eyed Colton," armed with a hand axe and a deadly Clawshot stumbled upon the lost little girl one afternoon, tired and hungry after just a day of hiding out in the dangerous woods. Upon approaching Levia he became curious as to why a child was all alone in such a formidable area. After learning she was a runaway orphan, Colton felt pity for the child, but initially wanted nothing to do with her and attempted to leave with a bid farewell. However, he was followed, and soon found that Levia's stubbornness outmatched any attempt to scare her away. With the thought of maybe using her for some sort of ransom, Colton reluctantly adopted the girl and took her with him to the Fortress of Thieves; the place where Levia would be raised and trained in the ways of banditry.

    Though Levia was happy to have a father figure and someone to cared enough to feed and house her, Colton was harsh and cruel and denied her any sort of affection much of the time while she was under his care. If she were to live with thieves, he would say, she would have to live like thieves. By the age of 14, she was considered a competent highwayman and was outfitted with a deadly crossbow. Though it was a rough way of living, Levia loved the freedom to take what she wanted, especially from the wealthy. She found she had quite the knack for it, impressing her peers and her adoptive father with her cunning and determination. It wasn't long before she started to get along with the other thieves and Colton himself started to warm up to her and treat her as if she were his true daughter. However, on her 17th birthday, Colton had fallen ill and passed away. In appreciating sentiment, Levia dawned his eye-patch and Clawshot and continued her thieving career. However, when her competence with the Clawshot grew, she began to consider what other treasures were out there for the taking aside from those found in unsuspecting pockets...
