Born to parents Nohli and Cesa Ode, Larkin’s birth was never wanted. After acquainting himself with some shifty people in the time of war, Cesa had found herself indebted to a Hyur slaver by the name of Solvarr Bailey. The price of crossing Solvarr was simple - a life for a life, and the life in payment was Larkin’s. Sold to the slaver at only two months old, Larkin spent the first fifteen years of her life as a slave.
Solvarr was a gluttonous, greedy oaf who lived up to Larkin’s worst expectations. Raised in voice lessons, the pale Miqo’te was made to be a personal songbird at for the master of the house at a very young age, singing in skimpy clothing as Solvarr and his accomplices sat and gazed upon her. When not entertaining the behemoth and his monkeys, Lark was often cleaning (never to standards) or hiding, where another slaver friend of hers, Akaumi, would sneak her paper and a pencil so she could practice her sketching.
Lark endured this routine for years, the routine only becoming worse and worse as she grew older. Accomplices of Solvarr would take Larkin to training grounds and push her physically, keeping her in peak form both for Solvarr’s pleasure and for protection purposes in case anybody were to come for the house. Because Lark showed promise as a monk, the accomplices made note of this to Solvarr.
A bandit troupe often visited the slaver home at night and freed Solvarr’s slaves one at a time. Many slaves believed they wish they could free more, but feared the troupe would suffer harsh consequence if they did - And suffer harsh consequence they did. Solvarr used Larkin and another slave to quiet the problem, sicking them on seven of the troupe’s members in the night to send a message. To this day, the bandit troupe has not forgotten Lark or her friend despite the command against her will.
In her fifteenth year, Solvarr’s slaves planned a revolt. Lark had been focusing on her training with the accomplices more than ever to be an asset to the quiet uprising - An uprising that meant everything to her, but would be nothing more than sounds of a domestic dispute inside a large mansion outside. During the rebellion, many of Solvarr’s accomplices put an end to Larkin’s slave companions, and it was clear they were not on the winning side of things. Akaumi, Lark’s art supplier, gave passageway for Lark to run, and run she did.
Running for two days straight and discovering the aid of her grandmother, Cora Ode, Larkin Ode escaped from Solvarr and began a new life in the Gladiator’s guild. She now lives job-to-job, body guarding part-time, commissioning couple’s Ceremony of Eternal Bonding portraits, and assisting Cora with her inn.

Likes
Art - She’s an artist herself, so she admires anything and everything that has to do with art. She grew up painting and drawing and will happily do it for anybody close to her. She’s often studying art in textbook form as well.
Physical Activity - Because she picks up body guarding every so often, she has to keep herself in peak physical form. She’s a big fan of weight lifting, dancing, and running.
Stories - Of any kind. She loves to read and will often pick up books, but she likes verbal stories more. Sit down with her. Talk to her. She’s a good listener.
Coffee & pancakes - If you bring her a triple cream coffee or a stack of pancakes, she’s going to love you forever. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
Dislikes
Overly arrogant people - You’ll never make her want to fight more instantly. These people practically bait her. They’re LarkBait.
First glance judgment - Lark knows she can be a lot to take in at once, but she’s got a heart of gold, and dammit if she isn’t trying her best.
Slavers - I mean, it feels self explanatory at this point.
