For Traits, ideals, bonds, and flaws. It's good to elaborate on the character and background here. Most backgrounds include a d6 to help randomize those.
Trait may be something like this:
I try very hard to erase the deeds of my past.
Truthfully, I miss the work.
I want to save anyone forced into prostitution like I was.
Ideal may be something like:
Honor: I will never overstep my bounds and never cheat my client.
Freedom: Everyone should do what feels good to them provided the only harm done is to them.
Privacy: Everyone's privacy should be resepected even if it's illegal. (Chaotic)
Bond may be soemthing like:
I will never forget the people I met.
I keep a special locket a client gave to me.
I work to protect my sibling who is also in the trade.
Flaw may be something like:
Because of my treatment I could never trust people the same way.
I'm not afraid to lie, cheat, and steal, in order to get my way.
I hide a terrible secret that would be my ruin if it were revealed.
Imagine your character's place in the world, imagine what her life was like before she became an adventurer and how that has affected her.
For features and traits, I'd copy/paste some of the description text in the .txt file for ease of use. Provided you're using acrobat, the text scales. If not, don't worry about it.
For gold points, you should subtract the gold spent on the items you own from the total. You'll still probably have like 50 gold or so.
For treasure you may want to roll a trinket, they're random as hell but my help elborate the story.
For cantrips/spells. Cantrips may be good for combat as well, but since you're fairly proficient in finesse weapons you should be fine. Cantrips use an action in combat but not a spell slot which makes them fairly useful for first level. I don't know if Bard has access to any cantrip spells that would be useful for combat, I know my 5e sorcress I use with my friends has an ice beam for frost beam or whatever it's called that does 1d8 + (bonus damage) frost damage.
You're fine with presigidation and minor illusion though. They can be used in combat to distract. I basically just wanted to put that bit out there that cantrips, because they don't use spell slots, are incredibly neat and useful :3
That's it I think!
