Aspen

Category:Non playable characters
Category:Sanguine Saviors
Aspen is an aarakocra wizard and Valkyrie who invented Chronurgy, the highly heretical practice of manipulating time through magic. She works with the Sanguine Saviors quite typically, and has accompanied them on many of their adventures. 
==Description==
===Appearance===
Aspen is an aarakocra of average height and build. Her fascination with sanitation dictates that she keep herself preened and proper at all times, her feathers typically immaculate, alongside her clothes, save for her traveling cloak, as its lower brim is constantly marred with light stains of dirt. Aspen wields a long wooden staff, though she has never been seen using it in combat, even to cast spells.
===Personality===
Aspen is a very prim and proper individual, obsessed with personal cleanliness and affording herself what comforts she can on the road. She has been known to lie once or twice to achieve her goals, but she claims to not be very good at it. However, she's grown into a much more loyal individual, at least to the party, over the course of the story, maintaining consistent contact with them and even opening her 'workshop' to them to use and develop alongside her as a home and base of operations. Through the interactions Aspen has shared with the party, however, it's clear that she knows much more than she lets on.
==Biography==
===Before the Final Days of the Fifth Age===
It is implied that Aspen's quest for Aethel and her investigation into the nature of the gods has been ongoing for some time, and begun before the events of the story.
===The Final Days of the Fifth Age===
Aspen appeared initially to the party in Tord, where she posited a lie about their oncoming doom after they shared a dream about Frostbound Lake. She later noted that she did not create the dream, and though they aren't the only people to have dreamed of it, it's exceedingly rare for individuals to have dreams of the place, which is what originally caught her attention, though she didn't elaborate on how.
Aspen later sent a letter via her steed, Polymeux, to the party explaining that she'd been captured by Nastrea Arctis and her associates, asking for help and apologizing for lying to them. The party chose not to help her, but she escaped anyways and rejoined the group. While initially hurt and frustrated at the fact that they'd abandoned her to likely die, she came to let it go, especially after digesting the gravity of the lie she'd spun them on earlier.
Aspen accompanied the party from Spireport to Malinn, where they'd united with Bocc and Xyr Povolo, to the Fallen Aethel Terminal, through the showdown with Mortimer, to the second meeting with Dromis, and through the Mountains until ultimately returning with the Saviors to the workshop, where she stayed after the group took on another task for Dromis.
