Biography:
0-15
Child of two elves, an elven craftsman of jewelry and a weaver/seamstress. Raised in a comfortable home in a moderate income family, not lavish but certainly not poor. Annabelle started learning her mother's craft at an early age, which helped her develop skills that she now has, despite her lack of using them.  Annabelle was able to quickly adapt to that life with the amount of income her father earned selling and appraising jewelry.

15-27
Annabelle lives with her parents until she gets engaged at 17 to her now late husband, Geoffry G'Eldruc the Greater, Lieutenant of the Aegis Guard. He was, at the age of 23, one of the youngest lieutenants to ever grace the Guard, until his fame was given to another a couple years later. She moved to his home and lived with him when he was away from duty, usually in month-year-month intervals that had him away often. In the mean time, Annabelle learned various home keeping tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and even took it upon herself to better her clothing craft abilities. The amount of time she could devote to this rivaled that of a monk in religious activities, given her hermit attitude at the time.

27-44
At 31, Geoffry achieved the rank of Captain in the Guard. While not exceptionally more talented than any other guardsman, he was very experienced and given the rank with special honors that very well could have been used to further his career. Being married to such a renowned captain gave Annabelle plenty of leverage in starting her own clothing business, which took off due to her eye for clothing and the crafts in general. This consumed her time, fueled her passion in the year between seeing her husband, alongside making and repairing chainmail as well as delving into making some for herself. In her twenty-seven years of marriage, never once did Annabelle or her husband consider children. This was a problem for Annabelle when she was greeted at the age of 44 with the grave news that her husband had gone missing after attempting to retrieve two subordinates from the Wilds, both of whom had also disappeared and were presumed dead. The only thing that had been recovered was his helmet, left near some bloodied foliage.

44-53
Two years were spent mourning the loss of Annabelle's husband, where she stopped working and lived on saved funds and donations from former customers. Taking on the role of the average innkeeper, Annabelle tried out a less esoteric job, mostly out of boredom for her seamstress work. This gave Annabelle the insight on working with people that would eventually allow her to start her work in investment.

53-70
Annabelle sold off the home inherited by her late husband, used the money to start investing into businesses, which now sustains her financially.

Skills:
Seamstress (Vocation) By far the first and longest trade she has been in, Annabelle is more than worthy of the title of seamstress. Though she used to do it for profit, Annabelle only does it for sentimental reasons nowadays, such as making wedding dresses for brides-to-be and close friends on special occasions. Her waiting list for pieces had been about three months in advance, with her payment usually being enough to cover the three months she took to make the piece, allowing her to live comfortably but not extravagantly.

Chainmail Craftswoman (Vocation) Aside from the chainmail pieces Annabelle crafted for her belated husband and herself, Annabelle hasn't done much in the way of this craft. She does show lots of talent though, having made her own and improved/repaired/overhauled a few sets, between her late husband and herself, often over the course of around thirty years.

Swordsmanship (Martial) She was married to a captain, but she doesn't have actual practice short of handling his weapons for cleaning and sharpening them. She could handle them well enough not to cut herself by accident, but she can't be expected to know immediately how to fight with one.

Commerce (Vocational) Former business owner and current investor, Annabelle is fairly well versed in the flow of business. She has even gone so far as to help some businesses take off, which pay her dividends regularly.

An early portrait of Annabelle in an early version of her chainmail. She's brandishing her husband's gift sword to her, which still has not seen use and is locked away in a safe.

Deity: Sylandra
Weaponry: Straight steel dirk (Letter opener)
Apparel: Self-made custom Steel chainmail outfit (Priceless, Not for Sale,) Gold and diamond necklace (single .5 carat diamond, 20 carat gold chain) Gold wedding ring (Heirloom, 22 carat gold,) grey shirt, grey pants, blue undergarments (use some imagination, if you must,)
Miscellaneous: Coinpurse with some inexplicably paltry sum of money not befitting her background at all, but nerfed so she doesn't go and buy half the town's businesses right off the bat.

Dirk:

Okay, I'm just waiting to have my stuff torn apart. Come on already. No need to lube up.

I really like this concept, man. Interesting, detailed backstory with some unique skills.

Also yay for Aldinor. I'll move you out of approval, eh?
