{{{
Wickered> Man, I love the name Foxglove. Maybe Oleander for mine? Maybe a street magician.
 <Reese> What got them involved with the RIS?
 <Bryce> That's fine. I imagine that's the sort of thing that leaves you wanting another gig sometimes :D
}}}
{{{
Wickered> Maybe an informant, performed in clubs where things went down?
 <Reese> And they're some currently unspecified type of bat?
 <Wickered> Eventually stopped getting gigs at those kinds of places, though, and now part-times with RIS between guerrilla performances
 <Wickered> I dunno enough about bats to pick
 <Reese> Fair enough.
 <Bryce> Fruit eating, nighttime bug eating, or really big and fruit eating?
 <Wickered> Not really big, not intimidating, easy to overlook if she isn't intentionally in someone's face
 <Wickered> Man, Foxglove has such a cute and simple design.
 <Bryce> How about a Pipistrell? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipistrellus
 <Wickered> maybe
 <Bryce> We can just say "bat" for now if you want.
 <Reese> Aye.
 <Wickered> Also chews bubblegum. Maybe a bright yellow jacket like Jubilee, only it's black inside and reversible.
}}}
{{{
Wickered> So the name's Oleander, she's in her mid 20s maybe, college dropout? Is college a thing in this setting?
 <Bryce> Yes
}}}
{{{
Wickered> She does street magic and performances in clubs and bars professionally. Is good at both being noticed and not being noticed as needed. Acts as an informant for supplementary cashflow.

||'''Age'''||||20||

Background: Growing up a pickpocket and a street rat, she eventually was press-ganged into the illegal drug trade as a mule and dealer, her both figurative and literal flighty nature allowing her to sense a bust before it could happen and get away scot-free. After a friend of her's ODed, though, she became an informant for RIS and leveraged her talents for sleight of hand into street magic and performance. Together, it was enough to make a living, and one by one she delivered the majority of her contacts into the hands of the authorities.

All good things must come to an end, though, and it eventually became too risky for her to keep contact with people she had to bide her time with, watching them destroy lives while she tried to find the perfect chance to sell them out. Now a formal member of RIS (while still maintaining her performance side-gigs) she's become a valued member of the team.

Strengths: Flight, sleight of hand, stealth, knowledge of the criminal underground, street magic, decent with a switchblade

Weaknesses: Minimal physical strength, not very threatening, terrible shot, still looks and comes off a bit like a criminal even on her best days

Gear: Bright yellow jacket that's reversible and black on the inside, a pistol, a switchblade, deck of cards and a few other street magic paraphernalia, and lots of bubble gum
