Nicola Maythorn

Appearance
Soft brown hair falling in waves to her shoulders frames a gentle, lightly suntanned face. The expressionable curve of her brows is as dark as the lashes above the hazel coloured eyes, a slightly upturned nose and full, unpainted lips. Combined with high cheekbones and the smooth round line of her jaw, she will probably be considered quite beautiful, for a freelander. Of average height, this slim twentysomething holds herself with easy confidence, straight of back with curves in all the right places, accentuated by clever choice of garments. Hands are slender, the nails are kept at a practical length. She's dressed in a simple but elegant caramel coloured gown, the flower embroidered bodice form hugging, the dip at the front revealing without being vulgar. The widening skirt falls smoothly over her hips ending on leather clad feet. When at work in the shop, there's usually a pin cushion attached to her waist. When outside she's known to wear a dark brown woolen cloak.

Occupation
Runs the small shop Pins and Needles, making garments for a both male and female clientele, both in store and on location, confidentiality guaranteed.

Previous affiliations
Learned the trade from her mother, Anke Maythorn.

Family
Nicola was born the youngest of four siblings. Her mother worked as a seamstress and Nicola assisted her from an early age. Her oldest sister died as an infant, the other two older sisters were send to work as maids with more fortunate families. Her one brother, Meikan, third in line and seen as heir to take over his father's carpentry shop, was cast out when he was found to be shadow touched. Rumours now place him somewhere in the Shadow District. Her mother has since died, her father handed the reigns of the store to a nephew, and still lives.
