Description: Born to a Rogue and a peasant woman, Iola's mother died giving birth to her, leaving her to be raised by her father. Her father had no idea about how to raise a child, and so from an early age Iola was taught all the things every Rogue needs to know. For the most part her childhood was the average childhood of any child born to a Rogue. It all changed when she was 10 years old, and her father betrayed the Rogues. His treason resulted in the death of several Rogues, and he was executed for his crimes. Iola was taken in by another family, and her childhood continued as normal.
Growing up to be a beautiful and intelligent young woman, Iola resembled her father and it was only a matter of time before someone commented on it. When she was 16 the widow of one of the rogues killed by her father's betrayal stopped her in the street and told her that the daughter of Darious Timper was not welcome. Suspicion and rumours sprang from that incident, and eventually Iola was forced to leave her home and find her own indpendence. She tried thieving for a while, and then turned to prostitution.
The trouble continued as she grew older, no matter how many times she tried to tell them she was not her fathers daughter. She resents her father and the legacy he has left her. Iola's reputation has been damaged by her father's treason and her profession, leaving her defiant and alone at times. She has her friends, but she doesn't often have lovers that are not customers. It doesn't help that she can be very quick to anger, and distrusting of everyone until they prove themselves. Despite her attitude, she has a good and generous heart, and Iola is nothing like her father. She is completely loyal to the rogue and to her friends, and will always go out of her way to help a friend.
Physical Appearance: If having a traitor as a father wasn't bad enough, many of the rogues remark about how much Iola looks like her father. Her hair and eyes are inherited from him. From what little Iola knows of her mother, she has been able to attribute her coffee coloured skin and nature of her hair to her mother. It falls down to just below her shoulders in a mass of thick dark waves, which Iola often uses to seem more appealing.
Her eyes are a striking shade of golden-green and are framed by dark angular brows. Iola often uses cosmetics to outline her eyes, emphasising their strange colouring. Her nose is small and slender, and her plump lips are often turned up in an inviting smile. She is a very beautiful woman from head to toe. She is of average height with a body that has generous curves and a bountiful bust. Iola loves to wear the most beautiful corsets she can find, and has a large collection of them. She also has several different chokers that contain charms to ward off disease and keep her from getting with child.
Talents & Weaknesses: Iola is skilled at using her charms and body as a weapon and very few people can resist her. Many are often suprised by her intelligence and cunning, and these talents are often over looked by those only interested in pleasure. She is usually treated like a common wench of little importance, giving her the oppertunity to spy on the nobles in the Castle and give vauable information to the other Rogues. Like most Rogues her skills of pick-pocketing and spying have been honed over the years. She is not the best in either skill, but she knows enough to get by.
Due to being born a commoner, Iola has little skills in the art of being a woman, a wife or a mother. She is an intelligent woman and was taught how to read and write as a child. This is the limit of her education though, and she has no special skills. All she has to offer is her body and the information she gathers.
