Nura was a orphan, raised in Baghdad by a sucession of older girls who drifted away as they hit puberty. She learned to be unseen, take waht she needed, and listen carefully for unwelcome footsteps. Her lifestyle brought her into frequent contact with the underside of the city, in a literal as well as a figurative sense. While hiding from an angry shopkeeper in the city sewers one day she saw a strange thing. A rat was stuck in a cunning trap, doubtless set by the famous Von Trap family, the hereditary trappers of the Abbasid Caliph. A dashing youth appeared from the shadows and bent over the trap. d10 rounds later, the rat was scampering away, and the youth had faded back into the shadows. Nura was entranced. What a noble soul! He was kindness incarnate, and foxy to boot! She fell in love, hard. Her skills in hiding and sneaking served her well as she dogged TrapoII's footsteps wherever he went. She slept on his roof or his doorstep, she ate his leftover crumbs and drank water from his footprints. She had a collection of every trap he had found and disarmed, and she practiced arming and disarming them over and over, dreaming of the day he would fail a traps roll and she could step forth from the shadows and save him. The he would fall in love with her and they would get married and have little Traplets and Trapettes and be happy 4ever.

One day TrapoII left Baghdad after hearing rumors that the Pirate King Mamun was taking on recruits. Nura followed him, hiding on the Ayesha amongst the maidens and menagerie, trailing form the anchor chain in the balmy Nile, or sleeping in the crow's nest when no one was on watch. Then that jerk Harald got Teleport, and he started taking TrapoII away from Nura! The nerve of that loser, thinking he's all special just because he van travel a thousand miles in a instant. He probably doesn't even realize how ridiculous he looks with all those maidens towering over him. Nura snuck a sip of Harald's dimunition potion and hid in TrapoII's backpack right before he Teleported to Sicily. While there he got his own boat, and took on a crew. It was full of other girls, doubtless trying to steal her TrapoII! They didn't deserve him, those slutty pirate bitches with their eye patches and peglegs. Nura joined as well, sure that TrapoII would notice her soon and then leave all the other girls, telling them that he only needed one follower, and that was Nura. If he took too long maybe she would try and help him realize how much he loved her....]]
