"The rich steal from the poor, I steal from the rich, the cycle continues."
Name: Trish 'TJ' Jessimir
Age: 23
Race: Fey-Touched (fire)
Culture: Primarily Walljack but some Falstoner influence and a hint of Fireborne buried deep in there
Sexuality: Bisexual
Appearance:
A woman of average height and a smidge underweight. TJ has the body of an acrobat, developed primarily from her 'career' dealing with a lot of climbing, crawling, swinging and running. She sports rather long hair that has a ombre of black to grey like that of smoke from a dead fire, some is done up in a spiky pony while the rest is kept undone along with straightened bangs that frame her face. Dark red eyes that resemble either a deep pool of crimson in bright light and an endless black in others. Above her left eye is a scar that cuts the end of her brow in half, her upper lip has a scar from a cleft lip giving a glimpse to her teeth. TJ wears a myriad of piercings and tattoos, a lot of them not visible but of the visible is a silver septum ring, labret, random assortment of ear piercings and a sternum tattoo of a dragon breathing fire. Her hands have blackened fingertips with ombre painted nails to match her hair. Rarely does she ever wear anything outside of grayscale.

Story
TJ has been a bit all over the place, it's part of her career but that borderline nomadic life was actually something that she was raised in. Parents of the same fey curse but of different cultures, not ones she knows much about. In her early memories she remember the falstoners, the caravans, running around in rural fields, sometimes even her parents though their features have long faded from memory. Orphaned at a young age, an accident beyond her knowledge far too young to recognize or remember the loss.
Despite the accident her upbringing was boring at the worst and average at the best, a lovely little falstone life, a time she rarely speaks of and eventually strayed from in her teens. Constantly on caravans, constantly on the move, constantly hungering for something more to satiate her boredom. Even on the caravan, life was too safe and dull. Out of a petty frustration and rebel teen rage did she begin swiping things that weren't hers, every stop she'd take something small and minorly inconvenient, a pen, a clip, a single coin. Overtime what she took began to get bigger and more targeted, a sturdy belt, a dagger, new boots. She'd begin to even pedal them to shops, slowly learning what gained her the most crowns.
It was fun, it was risky, and she was good at it. Unfortunately the moment she started stealing jewelry the falstoners quickly caught on, a fortune settled far too soon than she was happy with so that was her last day with them, onward she set out to the wall with only the vaguest of a clue of what she wanted or to do. She picked off of travelers, bandit camps, hunting parties, anyone she could to get by and only being caught a handful of times, none of which were able to properly catch her.
Her story from then on is.... shaky, constantly changing, never the full truth, maybe she's hiding something or perhaps she just likes to be an annoyance. At some point though she wound of with the Walljacks, learning a many few useful skills from the crowd she stuck with, a slimy, scummy, but close knit few of thieves and bootleggers. She only got better and better at what she did, growing to be a torment across the wall, stealing from valks, duchy, and anyone unlucky enough to cross her path even sometimes a fellow jack. Jewelry was her main target, gems, silver and gold if unattended would be swiped in the dead of night, not a window cracked, not a door broken, as if it simply vanished.
There are rumors that she once stole jewels from King-Emperor Rayan IV himself but the topic is always quickly dropped when brought up to TJ. Maybe she's made it to the spire to run from a bounty on her head, maybe she's simply looking for a new place to pick clean, or maybe she's trying to turn over a new leaf, only time can tell and that time will be years from now if she has it her way.

Please keep in mind that at the moment there is no jewel wraith posters
within the spire nor is it publicly known TJ is the jewel wraith.
BUT those of Valk origin may have seen a Jewel Wraith poster before.
