Disposition:
Drew is extremely cocky as a thief and believes that there are few targets which she cannot succeed at. She is extremely intelligent and does carefully examine what it takes to succeed at a job. Generally, she only goes after the most wealthy of targets. She prefers to go after targets who can afford to lose what she takes. If at all possible, she avoids fighting when on a job although she will fight if she must. In some cases, she will do after a target on her own while at other times she will perform a job on commission. Technology and valuables are both fair game. Seduction to gain knowledge is a tool which she uses only sparingly but she considers that sometimes it is an extremely effective tool.
While she will work around the Coalition, she does not like working around them. Their hatred of magic makes it so they will shoot anyone suspected of being a spell caster and ask questions later. In most cases, she use the chance to ask questions to escape. Their hatred of magic causes her to fear them although she also fears those who she considers to practice the dark arts. She does not consider herself evil in any way.
Like most thieves, she is not a big believer in following society's laws. Even so, she has a sense of honor and fair play. There are targets which she will not go after. She will not take an assassination for any amount of money and will never kidnap anybody. If someone tries to commission her for either job, she will get an anonymous note to the target of the assassination or kidnaping. Rescue missions are different and she has actually performed a few rescues for no payment.
Drew has had many relationships and is incredibly skilled at both seduction and the actual art of love making. Most are fairly short term, a couple of weeks, although some have been a bit longer. Several men have fallen in love with her although she tried not to break any hearts in her relationships. She prefers that they stay her friends when the affairs end. Friendship is very important to her and she is extremely loyal to her friends and companions.

About average in height, she is slender built although her figure is quite feminine with wide hips and a lush bosom. He skin is a moderate Caucasian and is virtually flawless. For makeup, she mostly wears a bright red lip gloss and a bit of dark highlights around her eyes. Of course when she uses her enchanted hairpin, she can look like virtually anything she wants and is a mistress of disguise even without it.
Domino likes to dress is all black. Her favorite armor is a black jumpsuit which looks like it is made from black leather but is in reality made from high tech armor materials. In some cases, she will wear a black jacket over the top which is also made from high tech armor materials. When not in her armored jumpsuit, she likes to wear black dresses with fairly high heels.

Background:

Drew's mother is an extremely skilled master thief who went by the name of Sable. Incredible tale were told about her and there are few can equal in skill. Most people think of common hoodlums when they think of a thief but she was far more than that. In addition to her skills as a thief, she was incredible beautiful and is said to have lived an extremely active sex life. Some though that she had her face sculpted by an expert surgeon but the beauty of her daughter would seem to indicate that it was hers from birth. Her background is unknown and even her daughter does not know where she came from originally.

In addition to all of her other abilities, she is a major psychic and liked to use a variety of techno-wizard magic items. This is how she met Drew's father, the techno-wizard who made most of the techno-wizard items she commonly used. She only used the best of techno-wizard magic items. They had an affair when she was between jobs and Drew was the result. It is possible that she wanted a child but this is unknown. Whatever the case, they never married and Drew's mother has had many affairs since.

While Drew was growing up, she was mostly raised by her father with her mother constantly on different jobs. Her father taught her the magic arts of techno-wizard. At the same time, Drew's mother often visited and spoiled her only daughter. She also taught her the skills of a master thief and showed to be natural in many areas such as prowling and picking locks. As such, Drew grew up learning both her mother's and her father's art. Drew was able to meld the two skills into those of a techno-wizard.

In many ways, she grew up to be more like her mother than her father. Like her mother, she grew up to be extremely beautiful and has a roving eye for the men. Her features are extremely similar to her mother although her eyes are blue-green instead of dark blue and her hair is more reddish blond where her mother's hair is more of a golden blond.

One advantage she had over her mother is the ability to make her own techno-wizard items. As well, she has the ability to provide energy to power her magic items as a techno-wizard. As such, she can keep her items charged for far longer than her mother could through her psychic energies. She also has the ability to make new techno-wizard items as she needs them and can often use spells on the fly which she does not have items to do the same job. Her first couple of jobs as a thief were working with her mother but afterwards she decided to go independent. In many ways, they are too much alike and never worked all that well together as a result.

Her working name as an independent is "Domino." Working independently, she quickly got a reputation for being just as good as her mother and there started a rumor that she was not just a thief but in reality a Psi-Ghost. With the spell of Mystic Portal she can often make it appear that she can simply pass through walls. She created a wide variety items which she used in her jobs as a thief including a pair of energy swords which use the spell of "Light Blade"but glow a black light instead.

Fairly early on, she got several offers both for kidnaping and assassinations. These, she always refused and struck back by making sure that the target was warned about what was planned. Once, the attempt was made to kidnap her to perform a job but she was able to escape through her wits and the use of magic.

While she never liked working around Coalition controlled areas, she has performed several jobs in and around their territory. One of the jobs she performed was to rescue the daughter of a working family who had been kidnaped by a powerful gang lord in the Chi-Town Burbs. It was a job which she got little pay for although she was able to make up part of her "losses" by robbing the Gang Lord.

After that, she fell in with a temporal warrior who was first a team mate and ally and later became her lover as well. They stayed together for quite some time and it was one of the longest affairs which she has had. In addition, they traded items created by their magic and knowledge of spells. She created for him several techno-wizard magic items and he helped her make a phase belt as well as creating a number of dimensional pockets for her as well. Eventually, they broke up and continued adventuring their separate directions.
