Dima

In a different life Dima was a skilled assassin in ancient Damascus. A stout woman, she was a skilled grappler, she was also able to tap into secret blood arts that made her an unarmed menace to any target. During one mission she had a crisis of conscience and the target got a way. Turns out with her heart not in it, both metaphorically and physically, she could no longer call upon her blood arts. Her client was furious, so after dealing with him permanently Dima decided it would be a good idea to leave the city. It's been ten years and these days middle-aged Dima calls a small town her home. Feeling directionless she has gained a good bit of weight and let her fitness go. She lives in an inn and spends most of her time in her room staring at the ceiling. She earns her room and board each evening by listlessly walking down the stairs and giving a half-hearted belly dance routine for a small number of regulars. One fateful evening she sees you in a losing altercation at closing time.
