Ambriel

Ambriel is one of Vikyn's twenty-four archangels. Her domains are healing and redemption.

## Appearance

Ambriel typically appears a young adult female humanoid. She has long red hair, blue eyes, freckles, and pale skin with soft facial features. She has a small frame, standing around 5'6". She has a pair of white-feathered wings on her back. She often wears white leather armor over red robes, and is known to fight with both a wooden staff and a shortsword.

## Personality

Ambriel is one of the most forgiving archangels, willing to overlook a person's past deeds if she believes them capable of good. She cares for others and seeks to aid them however she can, often toeing the line of Vikyn's orders with her interference in mortal affairs. She expects others to be inherently good, and believes that enough rights can offset any wrong. Ambriel is slow to anger and quick to forgive, often nearly to a fault.

## Abilities

Ambriel is a gifted and capable healer, nearly rivaling Sorvus in her ability to close any wound. She is also known to be a potent spellcaster, favoring spells that defend and heal her allies. Like all archangels, her physical ability surpasses that of most mortals, granting her supernatural speed, strength, and resilience. She is able to fly with her wings, and can both speak to and be understood by any creature who speaks or understands a language. Thanks to her station, Ambriel is also able to command lesser angels.

## Relationships

Ambriel has good relationships with the rest of the archangels, though shows a particular inclination towards Maliel, Nyela, Selaphiel, and Sera. She has been known to argue with Nakir about the willingness and capacity of mortals to change their ways, especially those who have committed grave sins in the past.

Ambriel has also been known to appear in the company of Sorvus, perhaps learning more of the healing arts from the god.

## Followers

Like all archangels, Ambriel does not grant powers as a cleric would from worship, but can aid her followers in other ways. Her most common grant of power comes in the form of the Pact of the Celestial, making warlocks. It is particularly common for individuals with a history of misdeeds to seek her out and offer their service in exchange for redemption, and arrangement she usually accepts if she believes the person is sincere. She also has been known to make paladins, particularly of the oaths of Redemption and Devotion.

Ambriel also has been known to appear to various clerics (especially those of Vikyn) who wish to learn more of the healing arts, or those who attempt a particularly difficult act of restoration. Ambriel has also historically appeared after battles, plagues, and natural disasters to help treat injured, though often in disguise.

Ambriel charges her followers to show mercy towards their foes and to push them towards redemption. She advocates for healing those who are seriously ill or wounded, and requires her warlocks and paladins to always help those in need.

If she needs something from one of her charges, she typically appears in person to discuss with them directly. If she doubts the faith of one of her followers, she sometimes appears in disguise as someone seriously injured or ill to test how they treat the downtrodden.
