Overview
[Type below:] Write a short (around 100 words) overview of who your character is. Content, written in orange letters like this, will not be visible when you are done. It's simply there to provide guidance]
Dealing in secrets and information, especially that which was overheard, has been Polyglot's life. She has followed Dominaria's tenet of thievery; not of material things (mostly), but of knowledge. Her obsession of learning languages that started early in life turned into an integral part of her business, learning mother tongues of races she wanted to do business with to try to curry favor with them. Though she is not a devout follower of Dominaria herself, Alexandra uses the information at her disposal to safeguard the faithful of Dominaria from those who might do them harm, as a favor to the parents that raised her.
Early Life
[Type below:] Where did your character grow up? What place do they
call "home" now? (could be the same or different.) [75 words max] The
locations don't have to be named. It can be described. Growing up
locations play a role on what your character knows about the area. Some
races might have specific locations they came from. If uncertain, ask the
DM.
Alex grew up with most essentials, and those she didn't have she learned to steal. Her family lived in a complex of many households, often interacting with other families who had followers of Dominaria, due to her parents. She put up with it. Running around between her different "businesses" is what she now considers home.
[Type below:] Who raised your character and how? What are these
people doing now? [75 words max] name at least 2 characters, preferably
3-4, that played an important role in your upbringing.
Her parents, Max and Beatrix, raised her, but were usually working and not at home to take care of her. Because of this, she would go around town talking to (and stealing from) various people, and trying to learn languages she was hearing but couldn't understand. She would often team up with other kids to play distraction while someone stole something. One kid she would do this with regularly was Niko, a human.
[Type below:] How did your attribute scores affect your
character? [175 words max] How did your strengths and weaknesses
formed your life? For instance, did a 20 STR push you into manual
labor, as you could handle it easily? Did a low CON make you often
sick and had to travel to the capital for medicine? Did a high CHA
make it easy to make friends?
While Alex was ok at talking to people, she would consider her strength is eavesdropping, stealing, and being flexible. When there was a difficult target, she would climb anything nearby to get a vantage point or better position to execute her plan. Due to this, she neglected her physical training, being weaker than most average people.
Defining Events
[Type below:] What made your character obtain the class they
have now? [75 words max] Why did you become a Fighter and not a
Barbarian? What incident pushed you to your class choice?
A combination of her love of learning languages, her self-taught skills of sneaking around and stealing things to get by, and overall using the nature of her race to trick and deceive people led her to the roguish arts. She was also hired and taught by actual rogues wishing to make use of her services so that she might provide better business.
[Type below:] What your character doing in recent years
before the campaign's start? [75 words max] In the last 2–3 years,

[Type below:] What motivated your character to leave their
previous lifestyle and become adventurers? [120 words max]
Nobody decides to endanger themselves without good reason. Were
you forced to leave your previous lifestyle? What happened that

adventurer?
Information of business to be had and riches to be made from overseas became too tempting, and Alex has decided try to capitalize on an opportunity afforded by Captain Monday to bring her business the mainlands.

to the other player characters? [175 words max] communicate

max] Communicate and agree on what agreement your
character has made to one of the two other characters (you
