Lynne Piper

Lynne Piper is a half-elven bard and the illegitimate daughter of Armiston Pendragon. Despite being a Pendragon, not only has she spent most of her life in lands far away from Arthuria, but she also does not use her father's family name. Only her father knows who her birth mother is, and he has refused to tell anyone; however, it has become obvious that they were demonic in nature.

## Appearance

Lynne, due to her half-elf parentage, is tall even compared to human adults, with an athletic build. She is fair-skinned and has a heart-shaped face with pointed ears, a short nose, purple eyes, and thin lips. Her hair is blonde and falls past her shoulders with a distinct widow's peak, and is usually pulled back into a messy ponytail.

Lynne shows a preference for commoners' clothing. When traveling, she tends to wear a burgundy vest with a train falling past her knees, a white undershirt, a dark leather belt with a round buckle, and dark leather gloves and boots. She usually keeps her flute close by, and is known to tuck it underneath her belt like a weapon.

## Personality

Lynne, much like her father in his youth, is independent and dislikes following orders. Surprisingly mature for her age, she has displayed impressive self-control long before she met her birth father. Despite being royalty, she was raised a peasant for much of her life and still has many of the mannerisms from her youth.

## History

The nature of Lynne's conception and birth is unknown to everyone except her birth father, who remains silent on the matter. However, it is known that she was conceived during the Red War due to her age, and that her birth mother left her with a peasant family outside of Arthuria when she was just an infant. This family raised her as their own for ten years, until the Red War ended. At that time, the family was approached by someone claiming that their ward was the daughter of the soon-to-be-crowned king. The family took her to Camelot, where she proved her blood relation to Armiston and was subsequently taken in by him. She has been raised as a princess ever since, but she and her father regularly are at odds with one another for a number of reasons.
