## Description

### Appearance:

Lione LaBelle is a 5'7" curvaceous half-elf woman with light skin and dark brown hair, which she typically wears loose to conceal her pointed ears. She is the only primary party member known to consistently change her clothes, though she is typically depicted in a long-sleeved silk shirt and corset, with traveling leggings tucked into thigh-high boots. She is never seen without her signature red gem necklace, which she uses to channel her magic, in lieu of a staff or similar weapon.

### Personality:

In conversation, Lione is confident and self-assured, using her charisma to persuade others to share her values and goals. She heavily flirts with everyone she can flirt with, in an attempt to manipulate them into liking her more from the get go. She also finds that she gets what she wants in an even easier way when she uses her beauty and shape to help her get what she wants. At the end of the day, if you have something Lione wants, she’ll do whatever she can to try and get it from you, and have you thank her for taking it off of your hands.

Lione believes that beauty and physical appearance are the first thing that people see, the first impression made on anyone, and therefore, it’s important to her to always look her best. This is in part due to her wealthy upbringing, and in part her own personality. She goes nowhere without multiple outfit changes, and loves to sleep and be in the most luxurious accommodations.

For the party, Lione serves as the de facto leader, assuming command in stressful situations, often to the chagrin of others. Her straight-forward, no-nonsense personality often makes her the most goal-oriented of the group, and she is quick to remind party members of the reason they're together in the first place.

## Biography

### Background:

Lione comes from a noble family of old money. The LaBelles are a legacy family, rich through the years because of a successful mining operation generations ago, and land dealings across the country. Now, it’s because they own a large portion of the upscale magic shops in the Capital city, and glean additional riches from that.

Lione doesn’t know much about her elven father, but, as she is the only person in her family with "the Gift", she knows her Draconic bloodline comes from her father’s side of the family. Her mother, Luciana LaBelle, and her grandmother, Leonida LaBelle, make deliberate choices to never speak about the man that Lione shares half of her blood.

While the LaBelles will always come first for Lione, she knows she has enough room in her heart to fight for more family, and she wants that to be her father. Lione wants to know why her father left, if he’s even still alive, and where her magic comes from. Lione feels like she’s stumbling blindly when it comes to her father’s side of the family. She finds it difficult at times to have abilities that no one in her family can relate to, and feels like she missed out on an important part of being a Sorceress -- learning from the person who passed it down to her. In her search for power, she wants to be as skilled of a sorceress as she can, so she tells people that she’s looking for her father so he can teach her the ways of Sorcery that he knows. However, she’s also looking for her father so she can try to understand why he decided his life would be better without her in it.

Her desperate curiosity as to her heritage leads her to hire a private investigator, who promises to meet her with any information he finds at the seedy Knock-Kneed Ass Inn, where she meets her future party members for the very first time.

### Development:

#### Season One: The Maiden Voyage

##### Episode One:

Our story begins with Lione entering into the Knock Kneed Ass, a tavern in Eylas that she would never regularly frequent. She takes a seat and is soon surrounded by Galen, who she assumes is trying to steal from her, Ariadne, who she isn't sure how to read, and Gris, who seems sweet but lonely.

After a brief meeting with Garrin Reddleton, a private investigator Lione had hired to help her find someone, she is told to head to the Library of Frelyn. They may have more information there.

The party overhears a few drunken men speaking about a Dead Man walking, and after investigating together and questioning some Life Clerics, Lione encourages the party to head to Frelyn. They follow, knowing one part of why they're going, but not the other reason Lione is eager to go.

##### Episode Two:

In Frelyn, a young elven nobleman greets Lione and the party. Gabriel Laneiros invites the group to a soiree later that night to celebrate the engagement of his sister. Lione knows of this family, and Gabriel claims to have written letters to Lione's mother, so she agrees and heads off to the closest tailor to buy some fancier clothing for the party.

The group meets Reyfiel, a middle aged elven tailor, who Lione immediately loves. They design clothing for everyone in the party, and Lione tries to get as much information about Gabriel as she can from Reyfiel. It would be rude for her to say no to the Laneiros' family invitation, and it would be stupid of them to hurt another noble, but Lione feels like Gabriel is a little too sweet on her for her own liking.

They arrive at the party and as Lione entertains the hosts, the rest of the team disappears. Galen, meanwhile, steals a dagger from a room that the three stumbled upon. Shortly after, a wave of exhaustion hits the party and they're led to their rooms.

As Lione settles into sleep, she's grabbed in the dark by unknown hands and taken from her room.

##### Episode Three:

Lione spends the first portion of this episode kidnapped by Gabriel Laneiros, his sister, and Alexandre Valreith, her betrothed. When the party arrives to save her, Lione sees Galen leave the room and come back. Only capable of casting message, Lione angrily encourages them to get her.

Gabriel and party discuss how to kill Lione without their special dagger, and keep saying "Golden Blood for Golden Causes", something Lione doesn't quite understand but knows that it doesn't sound good.

The party fights and repeatedly neglect to untie Lione before Gris finally does. Galen kills Gabriel and stabs him with the dagger he stole from them, which Lione takes, feeling like it's important.

The party naps outside of the Library of Frelyn before being awoken by a middle aged elven man named Valdithas. He welcomes them into the library as they as about reference books on dead men walking. Lione casts message and asks him to speak to her in private. Valdithas, subtle and not even reacting to the message asks Lione to look in a different stack of books.

Lione tells him that she's looking for her father, an elven sorceror man who she has never met. Valdithas encourages her to read a book on the Elvish families and assures her that she'll find what she's looking for in there.

Sitting at the table Lione notices that Galen has listened to everything her and Valdithas spoke about. She feels gross about it, and hates that he felt it was right to eavesdrop when he barely knows her, but she takes this as a chance to get to know him better and trust him. They discuss her potential father, and they stumble upon the Aurelian family, who is most well known for the Gilded Sorcerer, a man who betrayed the Elves in the war and rained Hellfire upon Eylas.

##### Episode Four:

The party heads out towards their next destination, based on a prophecy that Gris found. Ari, ever stoic and secretive, recognizes the location and leads the way.

Galen begins to struggle with his secret addiction to Sundrop, and nearly dies. Lione helps carry him to the water and joyfully gets to push him in. Payback for him soaking her with water their first night on the road.

The party travels and arrive at a glade, where Ari finds an overgrown grave. They won't say who it is, but their name is Theo. Ari gets their back up when Lione asks who it is and what the bag they just grabbed is.

The episode ends with the party saying kind words at Theo's grave, Lione places a flower and they head to the next space.

##### Episode Five:

The party stumbles upon a fairy circle and a stone crypt and as Galen jumps on it, it begins to descend. The party climbs on and descend into a dungeon.

Surrounding them are multiple doors, which Lione tests using magehand. One door opens, and as Galen enters the floor gives out below him. Ari manages to grab him and stop him from falling into the abyss.

Lione is compelled towards a door where she recklessly walks in, possessed. The room is barren aside from blue luminescent writing on the walls in a language only Lione can read, it says "Golden Blood for Golden Causes".

The party concerned about Lione's strange outburst moves forward and finds a descending set of stairs. They can barely hear each other as they descend from what sounds like incredibly loud breathing. Lione stumbles and falls to the bottom of the stairs, unharmed, and the rest of the party meet her.

They enter into a large room where a stone giant wearing a crown sleeps. On the walls is more bioluminescent writing that only Lione can read. It says:

Betrayal's Progeny, Heir To Hell's Throne, Remove the Sleeper's Crown of Stone.

##### Episode Six:

Galen is gravely injured which leaves the rest of the party to fight the Stone Giant alone. The three defeat him and Lione takes the crown of stone, realizing that the more she's learning about her father, the more this may be something she needs to find him. The three, with Galen in tow, head to an inn where they meet Lili, the tavern owner of the Wildflower. After healing Galen, they discuss next steps at a large map Lili keeps on the wall. She let's them know that the "Hell's Throne" that Lione read on the walls could be referring to Hell's Portal, the volcano in the Knives. Lione and Gris resolve to convince Galen together that they must return to the Knives, and therefore his hometown of Aquara, in order to find Rhys. Lione is finally putting together that her father may be intertwined with this story as well, and between that and the dreams she's having about a fiery place, she begins to wonder if she should start to share with the party about what's going on and how her father might relate.

##### Episode Seven:

The party stumbles upon a small town in the Viri Valley, and with the inn closed, makes their way to a farm where they meet Maxilla Osteoclast. Maxilla offers to have them in her home, and as the party sits, they see Travis, the bartender from the first episode, who seems to be Maxilla's boyfriend. Galen runs away and eventually comes back, and as the party discusses their next steps, they realize that the Osteoclast farm has been dealing with a pest problem. The party agrees to help, and they set out into the forest where eventually they stumble upon a Wyvern who is guarding eggs. Lione, speaking draconic, tries to talk it down unsuccessfully and the party begins to fight. As the fight continues, Galen jumps in to grab one of the eggs which causes the Wyvern to react with fear for her babies. Lione strikes a deal with the Wyvern, have your babies in safety and then leave the Osteoclast lands. The Wyvern agrees and the party returns to the Osteoclast farm to sleep before heading back onto their journey
