Tristram Vaas

Tristram is an NPC first appearing in Episode 28 of Heroes of Legend. 
== Appearance ==
Tristram is a thin and dainty looking half-elven girl with long brown hair and violet eyes. She stands just barely five feet tall, and is very skinny and delicately built, with protruding ribs and spindly arms and legs. A fact that comically contrasts with the fact that she is incredibly and unnaturally strong considering her petite frame. Every inch of her pale skin is covered in intricate scarlet tattoos. She wears a beige, over-sized, and extraordinarily ugly Robe of Useful Things. Underneath her ugly robe she wears leather armor and the most obnoxiously bright fuschia and purple leggings that have ever graced Teshol.
When she materializes her pact weapon it takes the form of a comically massive sparkly pink greatsword that looks as if it was drawn by Lisa Frank.
== Personality ==
Tristram is affable, charismatic and excitable - seeming to have a fondness for weird morbid tokens and magical items in particular. The party has often chastised her for her hoarding of dead animals and other oddities. Any criticism of her behavior is blithely ignored, even when she endangers herself. 
She has a poor understanding of morals and behaves in ways that are often impulsive and illogical. Tristram is here to have a good time, even when she really shouldn't be.
She loves her girlfriend, Grim, despite the tiefling gunslinger being a enormous bitch.
== Backstory ==
The party discovered her mid-escape attempt from a Cult of the Dragon dungeon. The party helped her fend off the Cult, defeated her captor Aisling, and convinced the witch to stay with the group rather than flee into the Underdark alone. 
Tristram asked the party to help her look for her girlfriend, a tiefling named Grim. They both lived in Tamvrien before being captured and taken to the underdark. 
Tristram has claimed that the white wyrmspeaker, Tenebrous, is a friend of hers and her girlfriend's and is really "Very Nice." It turned out that Tristram's "capture" by the cult was really Tenebrous ordering Aisling to safely extract Tristram from Tamvrien before Val's invasion of the city. 
== Other Interesting Facts ==
* Tristram seems to have quite a few ridiculous and goofy magic items at her disposal - a Robe of Useful Things, Slippers of Spider Climb, a Bag of Beans, a Deck of Illusions, and has been confirmed to draw from a Deck of Many Things at least once.
* Tristram drew Euryale out of the Deck of Many Things and her saving throws are all horrible.
* Tristram's blood magic seems to function similarly to Grey's, but enables her to dramatically increase her physical strength to ridiculous levels. She has been shown to be able to lift Vahlka in full plate armor over her head like a feather.
* Trist's animal symbolism is a Magpie.
* Tristram is an D&D OC of Rachel's adapted as a Tesholan NPC.
