Time for Thief!

Hello there! long short of it, I just finished my spellblade White Mage Valkyrie build (Charge Weapon, Celestial Form, Whirlwind, Lunar Aegis, Aurora of Valor with Str, Wil and Agi fully invested), and I'm looking for something different... a Thief with a more neutral outlook. Where my Valk was in it to do the "right thing", ending the demons by any and ALL means necessary, killing them to a one and ending the scourge, even genuinely harmless and repentant ones. Did the entire storyline up until the end of Act 2!

So now I want to try something different. Edelweiss the Valkyrie was a generally Lawful Good Paladin type that traded the expected defense for incredibly strong hybrid attacks to generally deal with everything that didn't immediately click Dragon Breath for 400+ damage. Not shaming. Not naming names. I'm not petty.

My thief (currently unnamed) will be more chaotic good, with some neutral leanings. She'll be interested in filling her pockets and keeping her soul bound only to herself, generally distrusting of nobility and royalty (unless they actively improve the lives of their subjects), and having a big heart towards commoners and other smallfolk... but also not afraid to do a little graverobbing. I mean, hey, those guys are already dead, right? It's practically not a crime! But enough about her personality, I'm looking for how to make her effective.

What does a Thief want stats-wise? Background and race wise? What skills should I take as I level, what weapons and equipment should I seek out to 'come online'? And which allies should I bring with me? Hexblade Cait AGAIN or should I... diversify this time around?
