Constance Fay

Constance Fay is one of the player characters for The Rise Of The Island, she is the party's Rogue and is from (the elf kingdom).

Physical Description
A short athletic woman. She has pale skin that clearly does not see a lot of sun. She has very little skin exposed other than her face. Her eyes feature bags under them making the gray irises even more striking. Her long wavy blonde hair is often kept in a braid running down her back. She still wears her city watch investigator uniform with pride even though the badges showing her rank have been stripped off of her.

History
She grew up in the family of a decent off merchant and was raised with traditional values such as law and order. She took that to heart and seeing the corruption that surrounded her father's job disgusted her. She saw the harm it was causing and just how little the people that were doing it cared. So she started stocking up on info and learning alternative ways to get info. She wanted to uncover the evils of the world.

Her family relationships weren't so good (especially with her father Marius) so she spent little time at home. Instead she’d sneak out and look for rumors or investigate whatever caught her eye. She got involved in the games of intrigue the local gangs were having and with her wit and perceptiveness she was able to gather evidence to give to the local guard.

She kept doing similar so as she became an adult they just offered her a job as an investigator so she’d have the proper resources. She happily accepted and used her first paycheck to get herself out of her hellish home life. It was tough goings at first but when the going gets tough she gets tougher.

Early into her career she was introduced to Frédéric Bonnet while on a case involving one of the churches of Bahamut. At first he was frustrating but his rogueish charms did start to make her warm up and the two continued to work together. Perhaps flirting with each other along the way.

Frederic was sure a little jealous and prone to mind games and demanding her time but she honestly thought he loved her and she earnestly fell in love with him. They were married in the early spring, snow still on the ground when she was 24.

Work was hard and at home it was a game of who could outsmart who (with the ever dashing Fred always seeming to win) so her enjoyment of alcohol did turn into full blown alcoholism. Not helped by her husband's abuse of the substance.

Four years after they were married Frederic insisted he wanted kids and couldn’t wait. She reluctantly agreed just to get him to stop bothering her about it. The nine months she was pregnant were a hell for her of withdraw and a sudden onset of depression.

And then her baby boy Robin was born. She loved him so much and didn’t want him to experience any of the pain her family put her through. But she also faced a large amount of postpartum depression and alcoholic spirals. Her and Frederic made the wise decision to hire a nanny, Grace a friend of Fay’s from when she was a teenager.

A year after Robin was born was when she returned to the field and that helped her mood greatly. She wasn’t stuck at home under Frederic’s thumb and instead was back in the action. While on a case for bribery she got a lead about the captain of the city guard, Captain José Chevalier and his involvement in the assassination of two lawyers and the intimidation of several law makers.

For the next four years it became her main case, all while staying off the books. She’d take cases hoping they’d have a lead for it all while covering her ass about knowing. Because she knew if she didn’t she’d at best be arrested or at worse be “disappeared”. Her journals were written in Common-Elvish and hidden under the master bed.

Her luck ran out though. She got impatient and broke into the home of one of the captain’s biggest supporters. But what she didn’t know was that it had been noticed she could have picked up on the plot so the captain approached Frederic asking him to tip them off if she was going to do anything and testify against her in return for giving her a “light” sentence.

The court found her guilty and breaking an entry, theft, conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and slander. For her crimes she has been sent to the island of the damned.

Personality
They are a no nonsense person who puts their all into everything they do and expect others to do the same. Their humor is dry when it does appear and can verge on mean. They aren’t overly emotional and can come off as aloof, although when it comes to matters of the law or their family their passion burns white hot.

They are orderly and law abiding verging into athoritain at times. They are naive in believing that corruption is rare in places of power and most folks in charge truly want to do the right thing. They are strict but can cope with others being more chaotic if it helps them in their goals.

They are very blunt and direct, seeing little reason to dance around issues or try to manipulate others. But also they won’t fake politeness or cushion their words. They dislike lying and avoid it as much as they can. But they do understand the occasional need for secrets.

Involvement
Constance Fay is one of the four people sent onto the island from the same boat, the others being Second Chance, Luakini & Amethyst.
