## Description

### Appearance

Dahlia has long purple hair and brown eyes. She takes after her mother, sharing her purple hair. She cuts her hair short after joining the Ungodly

### Personality

Dahlia is a bit prejudiced as a noble against common folk, choosing often to not associate with townsfolk. But at the heart of it, she wants to prove herself. When Nym informs her of his engagement to Dmitri, she is heartbroken and is visited by Diaspro, the goddess of revenge.

After having Diaspro's hold broken, Dahlia returns to quiet and intelligent woman she used to be. She feels incredibly guilty and confused about how to reconcile her actions.

## Background

Born from a love affair between Ioun and Terrence Malmont, Dahlia was delivered to Terrence one night by Ioun. He asked his new girlfriend Anne if she would raise the child with him and she agreed. The two married and raised Dahlia as their own. Anne often kept a distance from Dahlia because she worried she would reveal the rouse.

She grew up in the court and feel in love with Nym as their two families pushed them together. Dahlia initiated a relationship when they were 14 and Nym eventually ended it.

Dahlia sees herself as above the commoners, choosing only with those with positions, titles or talent. She uses it as a coping mechanism for how her parents hold her at arm's length. Nym was one of the first people to actually be interested in being her friend.

After Dahlia was dumped, she received an anonymous gift; a journal. It is a journal cursed by Diaspro who uses Dahlia's emotions to manipulate her. Dahlia was much nicer before Diaspro has slowly corrupted her. The final blow that may bring her to the dark side will be Nym's engagement.

## In the Story

Dahlia met Sylfir Daggerdawn at the Songbird's Keep in Westbury. She danced with him during Waylen's performance and flirted with him. Dahlia believes she can use him to make Nym jealous.

She was happy to see Sylfir again at the palace and tried to get closer to him. Dahlia was met extremely formally by Nym and she excused herself to her room. Upset, she returned to the book and wrote about her embarrassment. Diaspro suggests that she should use Sylfir further.

Dahlia visited her family and was met with the same cold shoulder as usual. She was also upset by her sister's successful relationship. Sylfir visited her as she wrote to Diaspro and she apologized for her behavior.

About a week after Sylfir's departure, Nym told Dahlia about his engagement as he doesn't want to blindside her at Soul's Eve. Diaspro, able to finally hold her, offers her power to gain revenge. Dahlia acts like everything is fine and acts even more personable to continue to get more information to use. Dove also personally visits Dahlia to welcome her to the Ungodly.

Dahlia forms a friendship with a disguised Idryn as Raieun. At Soul's Eve, she is escorted by 'Joon'. During the Battle of Soul's Eve, Dahlia is taken into custody by the party. They interrogate her and after the assistance of a cleric in Kaainga, her attachment to the diary is broken. Dahlia's memories slowly return to her as well the personality that she had before she was cursed.

She befriends the new ship cleric Somi Havwen and begins dating her.
