I know it is more sci-fi then fantasy but I care more about essential characteristicks of River. Extremly gifted and talented, unpredictable and - against her will - a deadly assasin created by some weird experiment in Academy. Probably a magical experiment in D&D world.   I was thinking about Rogue (Assasin) class but I also like elements of Monk (Shadow). I read about Psionics in Unearth Arcana which would be also very background-ish for her. Or even some arcane class like Melee Wild Sorcerer? The Background is also a challange. Something like good-minded Criminal with uncontrollable surges of evil-minded Criminal?   What do you think?

Could make for an interesting and/or amusing quest. What intelligence score would the man they call Jane have?

But it is missing "Also... I can kill you with my brain." stuff. Some wise multiclass with Mystic or Walock is probable the way to go fo PC.
