**Prudence** is a Tiefling warlock who was abandoned as a child and left in the care of a hermit and lived in a cave for the better half of her younger years. She has an appreciation for violence and doing the sometimes confusing bidding of her patron, Cthulhu.

She is one of the founders of The Oxventure Guild, one of the co-owners of The Bumble Bee Tavern and currently owns two pets; Frisky and The Darkness.

## Appearance

Prudence, as befitting her half-demon nature, has a rusty red skin tone, as well as horns that curl back upwards, and a prehensile tail. She has jet black hair that usually falls past her shoulders

She wears jewelry on her horns and other adornments.

## Background

Prudence was abandoned as a baby by her parents due to her half-demon nature, eventually she was found and adopted by a hermit-warlock named Cyrus who lived in a cave. Cyrus named her "Prudence" because he thought a devil-baby with that name would be funny.

Not much is known about her time in the cave under the care of the indifferent hermit warlock. Though she presumably learned her warlock abilities, at least in some part, from him.

Sometime during her adolescent years she ran away, but when she experienced how awful the world viewed tieflings, she returned to the cave and in her anger of unjust racism she found solace in a pact with Cthulhu.

## Personality

Despite her experience with abandonment and racism, Prudence is a relatively nice person, seemingly she is a bit shy at first but once she opens up she will talk your ear off. mostly about committing murder, her service to Cthulhu, and the use of her favorite spells as a warlock.

She isn't really a social person and dislikes most people, though she seems to have taken a liking to the other guild members.

While Prudence has grown in maturity over the years, she still possesses a childlike demeanor, and sometimes even acting like a teenager with a rebellious streak. Carrying herself like a kid in a playground, she takes childish glee when discussing the act of violence.

### Feats

* **Arcane Hadouken:** A special form of her beloved Eldritch blast where Prudence creates two of them, combines them together, and fires the deadly green fire ball at her enemies. Much like Eldritch Blast, it is capable of blowing up and disintegrating her foes.
* **Agonizing Blast:** A variant of Eldritch blast, which is significantly stronger and, according to Prudence, causes "infinite pain" to the victim before their, "blood boils from their bones". Like Eldritch blast, she seems to be able to control how she projects the magical energy, from "Arcane Hadouken" to magic flamethrower to a simple blast of energy.

* **Sick Burns:** While not used often, Prudence has shown the ability to deal out comments so harsh and cutting that they will deal psychic damage to the victim. She was able to deal almost half the amount of damage of a maxed out Eldritch Blast simply by calling her enemy "basic".

### Talents

* **Magical Dancing:** Prudence is able to dance quite well, even using her tail as a way to accentuate her movements.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Parents

Her relationship with her parents is presumably negative, given that she was abandoned by them at birth for not being human like them. It is unknown if Prudence has ever met her parents as an adult.

#### Cyrus

Despite the Warlock being described as an unlikable and unpleasant person, he still took care of Prudence. Raising her on his own, and even teaches her the way of the arcane.

And, considering her surprise finding out about Tiefling racists, it can also be assumed that he was not racist himself.

### Patron

#### Cthulhu

> Note: *(Here because edits notes isn't long enough, will delete later)* There's a reason I'm not putting Cthulhu under "family", because while Prudence herself may have some familial feelings towards her patron, he is still a giant unknowable being and I want to lessen the "Cthulhu-dad" stuff as per Jane's discussion about it on show of the week, saying something along the lines of "I like it when it's subtle, but I don't want to overdo it." ~Oxventuretwo

### Companions

#### Corazón de Ballena

For the most part, Prudence gets on well with Corazón, protecting him when Egbert pulls a mysterious lever in Orcward Encounter and agreeing with him that his father is nasty. However, she can also be quite hostile towards him as well, telling him to shut up, bullying him for his money and claiming Cthulhu made her do it, or just generally mocking him.

## Quotes

* "ELDRITCH BLAST!"
* "Eldwitch Bwast."
* "This potato salad has pineapple in it?"
* "Take that, widow!"
* "Shh, Shh, Shhhh. Chairs don't talk." *(To Corazón while he's disguised as a chair.)*
* "Is it orphans? You've got to tell us if it is."
* "Shut your filthy mouth, Corazon!"
* "Egbert wants to blow this whole place up, and I don't think I can stop him"
* "We'll burn that bridge when we get to it."
