Ingrid Vindlykke, known as Little Giant (or LG, which made her known to some as Little Girl), was a child assassin following in her father's footsteps. When her father died while killing, she felt the need to honor his death by finishing the job. Ingrid climbed a nearby tree and hopped over the gate to the home of her target. Sneaking up to the huge house, she wondered if anyone would still be awake. Even the guard at the gate looked drowsy. The little girl found a balcony on the back of the house and proceeded to climb until she made it there. Picking the lock to the door, LG found herself in some sort of personal museum dedicated to the owner's life. Every piece there related to the man she was about to kill. Learning about him just made Ingrid want to kill the bastard more. Here was a portrait of him and the slaves he keeps. There was a bust of him lying on a pedestal with moonlight shining on it. And there was her father's dagger. Her father's most precious possession. Checking for traps in and around the display case like she was taught and then carefully opening the case and lifting her father's--no, her weapon out, Ingrid felt a certain unease settle about her. Brushing it off as eagerness to kill the mark, she moved on to the next room. Nothing. Next room. There. The man was sleeping. Ingrid walked calmly across the room, raising her dagger to strike the man who killed her father. Just as she dropped her arm, her target's eyes snapped open and he rolled off the bed, shoving Ingrid into a wall. The two faced each other. Ingrid, short even for her age, was at least four feet shorter than the giant of a man before her. He laughed at his assailant, making his last mistake. Ingrid was so much shorter than her target that he couldn't even see her when she moved beneath his nose and plunged her dagger into his crotch and then into his heart. The man looked up at the little girl who killed him and noted how much bigger she looked suddenly while he bled out, slumped on the floor at her feet. Ingrid, also noticing this, took the name of Little Giant and began a career of assassination. She only ever took jobs marking targets at least two feet taller than her.
An aegisbane weapon does more damage to targets larger than the wielder. On a successful attack, the weapon deals an additional 1d8 damage for every size category the wielder is smaller than the target.
