Karen "Elle" Hibiscus

Proprietress Assassiness
Karen 'Elle' Hibiscus is the proprietress of "The Faded Rose," which serves as a saloon, gambling hall, and hot-springs. She also is a renown performer and will occasionally dance for her loyal patrons. Though she may first appear as a refined and gentle woman, she is actually quite tough and a shrewd business woman.

Ms. Hibiscus is commonly found in the company of her two bouncers, Gregorio and Bernard, who serve both as her bodyguards and lovers.

She is in her late 30's, has golden eyes and dark brown hair that is usually tied up in a tight bun, save her bangs which are draped loosely, framing her face. She often wears a fanciful mask that obscures parts her face. The parts of her body that she chooses to show are hauntingly beautiful. Elle is clever and quick-witted, but dislikes societal norms and the Empire of Parlais. At every opportunity, she enjoys taking full advantage of other's stupidity. Elle, while having no care for bums and people unwilling to stand up for  themselves, has a kind heart, especially for poor children. She also seems to have a soft spot for cats.

Recently, Hibiscus has taken the guise of The Thief Lord, guildmaster to the Den of Thieves. Due to the rapid influx of refugees and orphans from Parlais' invasion, a new chapter of thieves was needed and Hibiscus took head, naming themselves The Mockers.
