Nahalia Drumwind

**Nahalia Inimeia Drumwind**, born as **Natalie Drumwind**, also commonly known as the **Maiden of Bad Luck**, is a Tiefling/Triton Hybrid Cleric/Rogue who captains the Corsairs of the Dragon. She was born to Stephanos Drumwind and Lady Mantra Romanzi in the Outer City of Baldur's Gate.

Once involuntarily made a member of the Raven Queen’s Disciples, Nahalia was suddenly revived in 1491 DR after the Raven Queen's death. However, she was not revived with the rest of the deceased, and instead would have to fight her way back to the mainland over the course of a few months.

## Description

### Appearance

Nahalia appears to be merely thirty-six years old, but her time spent in the Feywild for a year and five years in the Raven Queen’s Realm has altered her age to actually be twenty-nine. Standing at a height of five feet and three inches with an athletic build and light blue skin, which was originally a shade of purple. Her long hair withered away and turned black when she was initially killed by the Raven Queen. Her original eye color was a bright pinkish-purple, but due to the curse placed on her by the Raven Queen, she had one emerald green eye. The heterochromia disappeared when the goddess was killed. Additionally, when she employs her magic, the sclera of her eyes often shifts to a pitch-black hue.

Nahalia had mostly her fathers looks, wearing her long dark blue hair in a half-up ponytail, or down her shoulders. Her outfits have varied throughout the years, usually wearing very expensive cottage-like dresses in bright colors that her mother brought her, then downgrading to dresses she made herself, of used fabrics and stolen jewels.

After escaping from the Feywild, Nahalia settled down with the Tribe of the Tiger and received various tiger stripe-like tattoos that stretched across her forearm and shoulders. The tattoo did not possess any magical abilities, and was completely pitch black. It was applied by her skin being pricked by a sharpened bone, and scratched in. The tattoo got infected when she left the island, which left her removing it when she returned to the mainland.

Since she was half tiefling and half triton, Nahalia had ears shaped into an elf-like structure, yet she did not possess gills. Even without the gills, she was able to freely breathe underwater for a certain period of time.

### Personality

Nahalia has an excitable and eager personality with a soft temperament. She never seems to undergo any serious personality changes, though this has learned to only be because she has always masked her feelings. At moments, she gets a sense of loneliness in the most chaotic of events and will shy away from crowds and try not to draw attention to herself. Her outward personality changed significantly after she was taken over by the Raven Queen. She had an almost-constant anger welling up inside of her. From within her mind, she was scared as she watched herself harm her friends, and further scared by being unable to break the control over her. It has always been unclear to what extent her apparent personality traits are genuine. It is possible that her seemingly random mischief is all an act of devotion to Malaunte.

Ever since the War of Ravens and she has returned to her original form, Nahalia has grown ever more violent. Some people believed it was the effects of the Raven Queen that had grown on her the past few years, while others believed it was just because of her general dislike of being pushed around, such as the incidents between her and Saralyn Holzhausen.
