Dessa Coyle

Half-Elf, Bounty duelist

Loud, fast, laughs before the joke lands; slurs when excited, not just when drunk.

The Real Client. She'll name the person who ordered a killing if someone matches what silence is currently worth.

Hire Me. She wants work, straightforwardly, and will take almost any job that pays coin up front.

Appearance

Rope-thin, knuckles scarred white, wears three rings taken off people who lost to her.

She saw who actually ordered the killing she's blamed for, and hasn't said because the true culprit pays better than justice would.

Orders drinks for people who didn't ask

Flicks a coin when thinking

Brags reflexively

Genuinely fearless

Coin. She'll say it to your face: she fights for money, nothing nobler.

The dead man's sister, who Dessa now feels obscurely responsible for.

Talks about violence she's seen like it's gossip, alienating people who should trust her.
