Appearance:
Malhonne is of obvious mixed heritage, the cast of her eyes and the contuors of her face are not quite human. Few would guess that she was actually the product of a an orc and a human. She lacks the heavy muscle, tusks, warts and greasy hair associated with her orcish blood. Instead she has a nearly irresistable animal magnetism, the more demanding and virile orcish blood dominating the timid and sometimes thin blood of man. She is of average height, but has very eye catching hips, and breasts. This combined with her good muscle tone mark her a step above the either underfed, unyielding whores and the pampered, plump, soft slug-like courtesans.
Background:
Malhonne was raised by her father, an orc. Her mother was taken as a trophy during a border raid, and a few months after returning to the clan freehold, her father discovered one of his tent slaves was pregnant. Since he was the only who had touched her, he surmised correctly that he was the father. Malhonne’s mother died during childbirth, even though her father had tried to intervene with orcish medicine.
He raised the young girl until she was nearly of age. Compared to the other female orcs, she was much more graceful, and lacked the courseness inherint to orcish kind. Many of the yonuger orcs desired her as a wife, and she recieved many gifts, and her father many challenges for her hand. Her father knew that the live of an orc-wife was not the place for her, her human side that made her desirable would not stand such treatment. The fact that he had treated her differently did not help matters any as she was disgusted by the often filthy orcs who petitioned her father with the sole interest of getting her with child as quickly and frequently as possible.
Her father sent the young girl to a nearby human city, in the care of another half orc, along with a measure of treasure to set herself up properly in the new city. The half-orc stole the money, and escaped, leaving Malhonne completely destitute in a strange place.
She found herself in a new situation. The men were much cleaner, and they had gold in their pockets, and they were not so cautious as the orcs were. Thieves among the orcs were often hacked to bits for the audacity of trying to take by guile what they should have tried to take by honest force. These human men lost themselves in the throes of passion while she was able to easily steal their valuables. Most never noticed they were even gone, even when they were robbed more than once.
Malhonne now lives as a freelance thief in the city. Her half blooded nature makes her an outsider in the moderately racist Thieves Guild. (Moderate in that they openly dispise her, and refuse her membership, but not extreme in that they are hunting her down to kill her for her mixed blood) She makes a comfortable living in the trading of information, and robbing men who come to her for her strong feminine charms.
Roleplaying Notes:
Malhonne is a strong and self-sure woman. When she has to play the submissive to get what she wants, she is willing to do so, but only for a time. She is much more interested in crashing the parties, and drinking the expensive wine. Sometimes she dresses like a man and goes out looking for fights and other times she wears next to nothing for the shock value and the extra gold she gets for that one last peak. Life among the orcs is often brutal and celebrating life is a daily thing. Malhonne lives in this manner because despite her skill, her wild and dangerous ways make each nay possibly her last. (Slight exaggeration, but you get the idea.)
Plot Hooks
Standard Thief Hooks - Malhonne has something the PCs need, perhaps a piece of information or a map taken from a careless courier who stopped for a bit of fun. The PCs have to get it from her somehow.
Daddy Dearest - Having had a change of heart, Malhonne’s father, the orc chieftan (SURPRISE!) has decided that he wants his baby girl back. Orcs have begun raiding the town looking for her, but as an experienced thief she vanishes with ease and has no idea why the orcs are raiding.

Likewise, amongst humans, exceptional results may be born where blood mixes, so why not in fantasy?
I will use Malhonne in my current campaing... she fits perfectly.
Thus a 5/5 from me.
A side thought - how would a dwarf/elf look?

I am reminded of a tale from the American Revolution where a young woman... ummm... plyed her charms against an English General. She was an American spy and was both passing information on AND keeping the English general occupied when he should of been out on campaign.
If some of her customers are "men of importance", she could pass on intelligence to the Orcish nation. In addition, should the Humans try and "wipe out the Orcish threat", she could work the same kind of "charm" and do more damage to the Human Campaign than a mob of Orcish warriors.
side thought: ugly

A roleplaying setting could be much like the real world. I do not know about you guys, you might be puritans or activists for the rights of females, but in this world there are alot of sluts, whores, dirty old men with lewd comments and so on. I see no reason why such characters should not exist in a fantasy setting too. Yes, she is a slut. So what?
I'd wager people like her because they see the contrast between being a half-orc and not being totally disfigured (as most half orcs are wont to be). A half orc that could serve as a spy, an assassin, a thief, a whore, a slut... She opens up new possibilities to the boring and cliched half-orc pattern (zugzug, me KILL). Many plots can conceivably be built around her as opposed to the heavy chested standard fantasy litterature cover girl.
I say: Cleavage for the sake of cleavage could be bad. "Cleavage with a cause" can be good.
(And, BH, wherever did you read that she was a better fighter than men? Did you accidentally read about Red Sonja before posting?)

But seriously, folks... Harmony, you must be 13 years old or something. Look realistically- she's using her advantages.
And as for the Horde... # 1, Beautiful women do get what they want. It's been proven by studies. Sorry we aren't all equal, but it's true. # 2, AG's right, where are you pulling that from? I see no mention of fighting at all.
Let's get realistic, girls. Not every woman is an incorruptible goddess, and some are more beautiful than others.

Now I'm a rather reasonable guy, not driven by my hormones 100% of the time, but: guess whom I lend my books more often, offer to learn with her and even help shopping... Bingo.

The thing that surprises me is that many people substitute game events for real life experiences. A co-worker regularly espouses his nightly games of Madden 2K5 as if he himself were actually on the football field, kicking and recieving each play. Is this a call sign of Gen Y?

Every NPC hereis a GM tool. Of course that most of the visitors of this page have had or will have a bad experience with a 'slut' they fell/fall for - but that does not concern this post. Of course her character is flawed - but then, we'd not be able to post any villains here if we posted only characters whose personality we like.

We may argue on the morals of this woman, or other women... but just see how many comments this character has generated. ;)
