### PCs

#### Mae

We used to tell each other everything... but after she said she needed time alone after Shar & I got together... did something happen to her that changed her so drastically? She said that she needed some time alone which I completely understand, but when she was gone for more than five months I started looking for her. Shar, my siblings & I took it in turns to look for her, & I swear we combed every inch of Faerûn, but we couldn't find her. We gave up after two years & we assumed she had passed away. We held a funeral for her. I didn't want to have my wedding without her. I wanted her there for that ceremony. But after we concluded she must be dead... it was the lowest point in my mortal life. I swear after my wedding I wouldn't have lived very long if Ivory hadn't brought her love & light into the world.

When I awoke that fateful night four years later & saw her standing above my bed my heart filled with light & my eyes filled with tears. But I soon registered I wasn't only crying out of bittersweet remembrance. My heart was strangled, trying to continue beating as I realized what Mae had done. I remember the silver gleam of the dagger as my little sister plucked it from my chest & I could only utter "...Why...?" Before everything went black.

Every thought of Mae is riddled with a bitter taste in my mouth as I wish I could have been there for her. I should have... I should have started looking sooner. I should have found a balance. I should have chosen differently. But I cannot change the past. I pray I can find a way to find any portion of my sister that is left in that wasted corpse of a witch.

#### Varis

Varis is brilliant. He has made countless sets of armor & inventions that I could never have conceived. The Vadállat is a mechanical marvel & I admire his ability to retain humor in the worst situations, without being annoying as Ash or stuck up as Daniel.

He reminds me of Gabe.

#### Jen Z

Jen is entertaining. Though I would appreciate it if her chaotic energy could very well be left at the doorstep, I also appreciate it as it provides a welcome distraction from all the horrors of this cursed world, though I feel that her memory is plagued by scenes that rival what we've seen together.

Her ability to be distracted reminds me of a small child, & I will admit my maternal instincts have kicked in around her before.

#### Mistral

Mistral is cute, but her small form hides a storm. Literally. She has bested me in sparring before & I am honestly very proud of how far she's come. When before I thought of her only as a Genasi with talent, now I am delighted to say she can take out a dozen men without issue.

She did stuff me in a closet once. It took a long while for that grudge to fade. But I did get a sweet taste of revenge by sneaking a look in her diary but a few weeks later. She's a wonderful artist.

#### Ash

When I first met Ash - before I knew she was a shifter - I greatly respected her abilities & skills. Her intense ambition & pride mingled with her need to be right was a dangerous yet powerful combination. As soon as it was revealed that she was shifter however, my respect for her decreased. However, I did not initially completely distrust her as my fellow crew members did, as she was with us from the very beginning; even being stabbed by the ruby chains from so long ago. Somewhere along the way, however, she left the Jericho crew. I don't know why or how... but it's been months, & now we see her with Tom Barthollowmews actively trying to go against us? I thought her desire to get home outweighed her longing of a father figure & discovering a meaning of her life... but I guess I thought wrong. Her spite & abilities have doubled, & I fear for what she & Tom have planned...

### Rose

Rose has not bee with this party very long, however her abilities & deep connection to Hope will certainly prove extremely vital to us. I have yet to really get to know Rose, but I am earnest to get to know her unique style & discover more about her.
