Dianna Riggen had felt the thirst for adventure all her life. She had left home when she was 12, making her way in the world. Along the way she'd picked up many skills. She was a master with the dagger, thrown or in hand. She could move with grace and speed, being as silent as cat. She'd learned to pick pockets from a Gypsy, a skill she made her way by.

"I'm sorry Madame, you are inappropriately attired." He said.
Dianna looked down. She wore a white, fluffy sleeved shirt with a black leather vest over it. Below she had black riding britches leading down to leather boots. On her head she had a black three cornered hat, with her auburn hair tucked under it.
"Inappropriate? How so?" She asked in confusion.
"Here, women do not wear these things. Our customs require that all women must wear..."
