Famish
"Listen, Famish is just a cute nickname, my real name is...Are...are you even paying attention? ...Hello? HEY!!" -Bella 'Famish' Quickfingers
So what's the story with this cute, boisterous thief that doesn't look as if she'd be able to squeeze through a door let alone a tiny window? Well it starts when, to the surprise of many, Famish was a much thinner and lithe young woman who made a quick reputation for taking on jobs that no one else would dare to even consider. A brazen, albeit slightly overconfident, burglar who enjoyed the risk of the job almost as much as she enjoyed the coin she got from pawning off her stolen riches. As is often the case with such thieves though, Bella took a job that was just a wee bit beyond her level of skill and paid the price but was lucky enough that said price wasn't with her life! She was hired to steal a large, magical ruby known as the Eye of Aron from a particularly spiteful crone that had isolated herself from civilization to do whatever it is that crones do when not being bothered and Famish took the job without a second thought. She slipped the guardian demons that protected the witch's yard, shadowed the crone until she found a chance to steal inside, then grabbed the Eye of Aron when the witch fell to sleeping in front of the fire.
Unfortunately it seems as if the witch hadn't been as unaware as Famish might have otherwise hoped and noticed that someone had sneaked inside to steal her treasure. As the crone drew herself up to see what was going on, Bella panicked and swallowed the Eye of Aron in an attempt to play innocent...unwittingly destroying the artifact by the very act she took to protect it. When the crone discovered this, she decided that Bella's 'gluttony' deserved to be punished and cursed her with a spirit of gluttony that would ensure she would never, ever, stop eating until she finally burst from her over-feeding. Definitely not a very...pretty end, but there was a small silver lining to it all...the Eye of Aron was destroyed but not gone. It had passed on its magical properties to Bella and offered her a 'cushion' that was able to take the brunt of the curse's killing power and leave the young woman with a tendency to over-eat rather than the fatal compulsion that had been intended.
As one can imagine, she was originally rather distraught to discover her new, over-powering hunger and was very loathe to indulge in it for fear that it would be the end of her career as a thief. However there was no real stopping it and as her belly grew and grew...Bella grew more comfortable with it all. Sure she was quite a sight when packing away a banquet and couldn't do the high-profile burglaries she was infamous for anymore, but it also meant that guards were looking for the wrong person and it gave her a chance to broaden her skill set! Turns out that she's quite the charmer when she puts her mind to it and is quite gifted at utilizing the talents of others to work together in a cohesive manner. Now a guild mistress of her own ring of loyal thieves, Famish can live the high life that she's always wanted but without any of terrible risk that she was accustomed to. So she was pudgier now...so what? Honestly people seem to think she's cuter now then she had been before and her legacy is growing faster then she is! Sure there's the need to put away a ton of food, but what use if wealth if you can't use it for practical matters?

Member of the DoughyDamsels! Check there for more details on likes and stuff! Of stuff worth particular note is that I like verbose partners who are able to type well...not because I'm an elitist but because it actually bothers me when people don't capitalize or at least attempt to get the correct spelling and grammar. I mean obviously some people have problems with not having English as a first language and such, but I like to at least know my partner is making an effort! <3
