Clarissa Garneman

Clarissa Garneman is a female Thief/Rogue NPC for Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition in the Original Trynser Campaign ran by Michael Lee Viviano.
Clarissa is a female adventurer from Trynser City. She was a neighbor and a close childhood friend of Timien Griffonmane during the brief periods that he would live in the Outer Riding Ward in Trynser City. Living a comfortable lifestyle, she embarked on a career of adventure for the thrill and to fight for an elevated but skewed form of justice. She honed her craft in climbing, swimming running, opening locks and springing traps.
When Emperor Artemius VII sent Timien on his worldwide mission, he chose Clarissa to accompany him. Soon afterwards, they became intimate, each other's first partner. However in short order, Timien got infatuated with his other compainion Feyannyha Lacourbeshay and his reationship with Clarissa was doomed in a few weeks. Fortunately for Clarissa, she fell in love with Timien's good friend George Tulwyn soon afterwards and enjoys a more durable relationship with him, eventually marrying. On the other hand, Timien's relationship with Feyannyha imploded in a matter of weeks. Despite everything, Timien seems genuinely happy to see his friends happy together.
When the group moved on from Delternas, George and Clare decided to stay, and they parted ways from the group.
Mike's note: My idea at the time was for the Player Characters to have a buddy of the opposite gender, and maybe Central Casting had something to do with it (I don't remember). Clarissa was supposed to be Bryan's (Timien's) friend. However, her character never came alive for me, nor I imagine for Bryan. When Lyus arrived, he took over the rogue responsibilities with much more panache, and Clarissa was quickly relegated to interesting background material. On the other hand, Lyus' buddy Kristara was very successful.
