Wet work, espionage, sabotage, and assassinations are all activities of spies and thieves. Requiring stealth and cunning to perform, everyone expects those that commit such acts to be small, lithe, and non-descript. This particular Argonian does not meet any of those traits but is successful none the less in all contracts she accepts. Certainly people expect them to come into a city through the sewers, entering a person's house through the windows. But when they see Leslie walking toward the front gates with a large glass axe resting on her shoulder, they think more of an adventurer than a rogue, more likely to get into a bar brawl than to slink through the alleys. This makes perfect cover for her, they expect that large sack of supplies to contain a lot of meat. Not knowing it contains her second set of gear that has been worked and enchanted to help offset her natural stature. Not that she does not have such skills, having the mind of an ambush predator, she was naturally drawn to subtly. This is what makes her so successful, she has the mind and skills of a crafty spy with the physique of one who wields massive axes. So if a sentry does spot her, she has the strength to crush them into silence swiftly. Misdirection is her biggest tool, and she wields it with an artistic finesse.

Her focus is on assassinations though, as killing possible witnesses is a regular act. What really makes her actions memorable though are that marks are treated to a special kind of execution. A dart, arrow, or blade with a proprietary toxin of her own design leaves the target mentally acute. It works on the nerves in a similar manner to Parkinson's where they just cannot control their body easily, taking actual conscious effort for voluntary muscle control. Leaving them easy enough to gulp down without them raising an alarm or much struggle so they can stew for a while in her belly. If the contract wants to leave a mark, she certainly can leave a pile of one.

Personality wise, she is a manipulator. Walking around in her heavier armour and weaponry, she is boisterous enough to what people would expect but not draw great attention to. She drinks, argues, and brawls just enough to keep from being a nuisance. If someone in town with a contract needs help, she is that "nice Argonina" who helps round up stray cattle, takes care of a pesky fox attacking fowl, or seems quite handy with a hammer as well as her axe. All the while as they invite her into their homes some things may go missing, a bump against them as she is busy working might see their coin purse a few septims lighter. She might even help her mark with a task, what easier way is there to case an estate than helping with the firewood for the kitchen? Her words chosen carefully, a compliment not too far from the tip of her tined tongue, or astute observation to help a guard with a patrol. Everything she says and does has a purpose, one to further her own well being. Everyone is just a sucker to lift from, a potential mark, or opportunistic meal when hungry.

Basic stats: Stands 9'8", tail roughly 12' long. Here is a shoddy made size reference.

Leslie as an Argonian, same temperament and memories. Increased appetite due to a faster metabolism.
