2022 Character Creation Challenge - Day 26

Originally, I had planned for some Gangbusters! but I am a day behind and there is no letting up this week (I am the last non-COVID person on staff, so it's me in a building), so B/X it is.

11, 11, 15, 16, 12, 16 - this might be the best set of 3d6 I've rolled in my remembered history.  Could be a Cleric, could be a Thief.  A Thief is ever-so-slightly a stronger choice, maybe.  

I can combine some recurring themes from this month, and Thin Lizzy, the B/X Thief is what we get.

History: Lisbet is actually the child of a noble family, but as a youth, she dreamt of a spirit dragon, who warned her to leave her house.  Terrified, she listened, narrowly avoiding the mass assassination of her family.  Rightfully fearing for her life, Lisbet disappeared into the shadows and soon into another city.

The dragon spirit comes to her in dreams, and offers advice, which Lisbet generally heeds.  Over the years, she has adopted several aliases in several cities, establishing contacts and allies in each place, all in a life-quest to retake her family lands and exact revenge on those that killed her family off.

Within the last year, in her guise as the Black Rose, Lisbet has discovered the people behind the plot, and now works to first discredit, then destroy them from within.  As the Fox, Lisbet has been orchestrating a series of targeted robberies to pauperize the same people.

All the while, the dragon spirit waits in the shadows, providing enough guidance to push Lisbet into unknowingly accomplishing its inscrutable goals.

This may all suggest that I am huge Thin Lizzy fan.  Don't believe it; I am just treading the line of 'inspired, yet not too drunk to be silly and unfathomable.'
