Shadliss Vinder

Shadliss Vinder is the younger daughter of Ven Vinder, after Katrine. She works in the Vinder General Store at her family's insistence, often being put in charge of making deliveries and other errands while her sister and father work at the store itself. Despite her relatively comfortable life, she hungers for more: she dreams of glamour, adventure, fame and wealth, of being swept off her feet by a handsome stranger who will give her the world, and of being more than just a girl in a backwater town married to a backwater farmer or merchant. Her rebellious nature is not appreciated by her father, who scares men away from her with the threat of bodily harm. 
Shadliss unashamedly propositioned Virgil, one of the heroes of Sandpoint, the day following the Swallowtail Festival. He reciprocated happily, despite that she appeared roughly ten years his junior and was quite a bit comparatively younger than that besides. Their first liaison was broken up by Ven, though Virgil's magic smoothed the situation and prevented any actual violence; from there they went on to have a series of furtive hook-ups. Despite both of their assertions that there was nothing between them other than sex, their arguments quickly began to ring hollow, particularly after the tragic death of her sister and Virgil's obvious attentiveness and support towards her.
Virgil offered to teach Shadliss some basic arcane techniques, as a way for her to escape her dreary life. In an unspoken exchange, she assisted with the training of his three adopted ravens, as she has a knack with animals. She named the three of them without his knowledge, and they follow her about town nearly as closely as they do Virgil; the lone male in particular, Romeo, appears to be rather taken with her.Category:Character
