History
Naika Rustyfangs was born in the Slups. Fortunately her parents, while poor, could manage. Her father working at the docks while her mother was tailor's help. Naika and her family had to deal with decent amount of speciesm from as long as she remembers. It was her father that taught her both basics of defending herself and also lying. After all, saying some things could save your hide from beating. And saying them was free, you didn't even have to believe in them.
That beiing said, when the civil war wrecked the region, her father was murdered by a bunch of Vulpine suprematists. Naika was devastated as she had very close bond with her father. Now she also had to drop even the little schooling she was getting to help her mother with to provide for themselves. She worked at the shops, using her skills to sell things to people. Markeing was lying and she was great at it. That also allowed her to learn basics of commerce and... pickpocket or steal a good bit of money. In her mind, the foxes took her father. She didn't care for them haviing to suffer from her little paws.
Her mother meanwhile, kept working and raising Naika, but she herself found a new lover. Naika wasn't too fond of her new step-father due to him being very subservient to the local fox population. She considered him weak but ultimately, she tolerated him. That is until her mother became pregnant again. Naika was just thirteen at the time when her step-father just dissapeared. Naika didn't care if he died or run away, she was just angry. Angry enough to stop caring much about her job or her life.
It was her father's advice again that helped her come back to senses. She just lied to herself. Telling herself that things like that were fine. Unfortunately, it was a bit too late. Her mother due to very difficult pregnancy had to stop working and was forced to give up all her wealth to peddlers and pawnshops to get by. In the end, she died by the birth.
Naika was left alone with her newborn sister. Her mother dying was crushing but... she now had a responsibility. Her fussy fit costed her mother ability to enjoy her last months of life, instead having to pawn everything just to pay for food and rent. The little kitten in her paws made her feel strange. And the seed took deep, making Naika soon believe she was the true mother of the little one. She was the only family this kitten had for sure.
After naming her Mariel, she had to get back to work. She couldn't also wait for any salary and... being a child she wouldn't even get enough to live. So the only feasable option was again stealing. It didn't took long before she realized that pickpocketing was difficult on the streets where everybeast is suspicious of every urchin around. She tried robbery but she lacked any good skills for it. With prospect of starvation and a kitten she was willing to give up everything for, Naika turned to try anything.
And at some point luck helped her, as she was running away with a stolen bun, she fell over a sack of sugar, it fell into the nearby brazier causing a lot of smoke, helping her escape. With that in mind, she managed to steal some sugar and started burning it to cover her escapes.
This helped her tremendously as she now was able to steal more and do so more brazenly. She even started liking doing it as her situation improved enough that, while homeless, both Naika and her sister weren't starving anymore. Then however she started making a bit of a name for herself and thus was welcomed to the criminal world that was very interested in her skill. She had no remorse at this point, stealing from anyone who wasn't her species was fair game to her.
Thus she begun to participate in more combat oriented heists. Herself providing support with both smoke and poisons she started to make. With time she became quite knowledgable in making and using them as well as throwing darts to take down and wound targets alike. She was earning enough to both provide for herself and make sure Mariel had everything.
But Mariel was in need of a lot of attention, as a kitten does. Once Naika got enough money, she left the group she was running with and used her little fortune to open a trading house. Finding that she does have both skill and smarts to run it successfully. It provided her with money and work that were safe and allowed for Mariel to both get all she needed to play, learn and be safe.
And while Mariel was growing up, Naika was... growing impatient. True she was very happy raising her sister as her daughter, but she lacked that adrenaline she had before. Being an adult now, she also had a severe lack of any fun in general. Her sister was the only person she cared for, she ever only spoke to her employees about work matters, she had no real hobbies past making more concoctions and honing her fighting skills. On top of that, she was far too afraid of anyone connecting her criminal persona with her buisnessbeast persona. She was jumping between identities, being a mother, a criminal, a trader and dozens of more. She slowly started losing herself among it all.
And that is why, she decided to reclaim her rusty skills and once more delve into the world of Heists and crime. Her former callname, Speedycat, still meant something and with assured future for her now teenage sister, Naika was to allow herself to enjoy her life again.
