Main character and protagonist from the Widdershins Adventures series by Ari Marmell. iddershins Adventures is a series of Fantasy novels focusing around, well... the adventures of Widdershins, a seventeen year-old street-thief-turned-aristocrat-turned-master-criminal, in the Galicien city of Davillon. Once known as Adrienne Satti, she is the sole survivor of the cult of a foreign god, Olgun, who uses his powers to enhance her own physical abilities and alter probability in her favor. The first book, Thief's Covenant, was published in 2012.

From the first book: Once she was Adrienne Satti. An orphan of Davillon, she had somehow escaped destitution and climbed to the ranks of the city's aristocracy in a rags-to-riches story straight from an ancient fairy tale. Until one horrid night, when a conspiracy of forces--human and other--stole it all away in a flurry of blood and murder. Today she is Widdershins, a thief making her way through Davillon's underbelly with a sharp blade, a sharper wit, and the mystical aid of Olgun, a foreign god with no other worshippers but Widdershins herself. It's not a great life, certainly nothing compared to the one she once had, but it's hers.
But now, in the midst of Davillon's political turmoil, an array of hands are once again rising up against her, prepared to tear down all that she's built. The City Guard wants her in prison. Members of her own Guild want her dead. And something horrid, something dark, something ancient is reaching out for her, a past that refuses to let her go.
Widdershins and Olgun are going to find answers, and justice, for what happened to her--but only if those who almost destroyed her in those years gone by don't finish the job first.
