Daughter of a seamstress who died in one of Arx's bitterest winters when she was seven years old, Needle was just another one of the street children of Arx's Lower Boroughs. Already capable of sewing a seam, she managed to get a few short-term jobs plying her needle; between those she begged for her supper or stole to survive, as many others did. When she was ten the Ulbran family took her in and started teaching her to be useful to them. After attracting the attention of some of the senior Ulbrans, she's come into adulthood in charge of a few of her peers, and with the certain knowledge that she has the potential for more. A lot more.

Dark of skin and eye, with hair that tends to tight ringlets if left to its own devices (which it generally isn't), Needle is a young woman who's below average height and with a frame that could be called athletic. Her movements are quick and precise, and she seems generally aware of her surroundings - and cynical - in a fashion at odds with her apparent youth.

Sharp as the implement she's named for, Needle is very much a go-getter with an eye on the prize. Smart and quick on the uptake, she's one of the Ulbran Family's up-and-coming youngsters - although navigating the line between up-and-coming youngster and threat to those above is always a tricky prospect, a fact of which she's well aware.
