Aether

Aether is a drow rogue and woman of mystery from Bisau. She is beautiful, sassy, bold, and extremely eager to knock out and/or shank people at the slightest provocation. Little is known about her past and capabilities at present. She has been described as an assassin, but unlike Claire is not a spellcaster.
==Capabilities==
Aether is really, really good at shanking things. Even golems. She can evade enemies and move quickly by swinging around on her whip. Her faithful spider mount, Nyx, sometimes accompanies her into battle. 
==History==
Aether was romantically involved with Flapjack, a drow attempting to rebel against the high council of Bisau. At some point they broke up, and he now follows her around, attempting to rekindle their love. She has also had some sort of unpleasant dealing with the docks at Bisau, where she is unwelcome, but the party is not privy to the details. She left Bisau while very drunk in about 1442, and missed its destruction at the hands of The Annihilator.
==In Eon==
Aether, scantily clad and dual-wielding red and blue swords, appeared in one of Leilah Maloch's dreams. Aether herself suddenly appeared in a barrel on the Jade Kracken III as The Company was negotiating customs in Nyasa's Reach. She traded the information that the customs agents were actually robbers for a place in in Bona Fortuna, Inc., and shortly thereafter proved a great help in navigating her hometown of Bisau.
She accompanied the party on their unintentional journey to Mechanus and cheerfully shanked a lot of golems. She was powerfully affected by the emotion stone of despair in the storage matrix, and injured herself before being talked down by Leilah. During the party's battle with Xenteroth, she was killed by Horrid Wilting after dealing the alhoon several powerful blows. Leilah resurrected her immediately after the battle. 
While on the Sirius, she was a principal figure in the mutiny against Ashra. She purchased from Tiemp Hiss the egg which would grow into her faithful spider companion Nyx. She also accidentally caused an international incident by drugging and robbing Coriander Highrun after he made some racist remarks about drow. She was smuggled off of the ship in a barrel.
Aether was with the party during the Awakening, and together with Cicero she adopted and named the halfling orphan Hemera the Loved. She and Cicero provoked a group of pirates through a lethal barfight. Aether was part of the group which defeated Orcas, though injuries early in the battle forced her to retreat.
