Lun

## Personality

Lun spends quite a bit of their time acting like the real Keyhana.  That is to say, she is prim and proper and perfectly polite.  Some, in fact, might argue that she is a bit *too* kind, as she’s willing to give the clothes off her back to someone that she thinks is in need.  She doesn’t care very much at all about how she’s perceived (or, at least, she *acts* like she doesn’t, because Lun very much cares), and tries to be gentle with everyone that she comes across, no matter who they are.  She is soft and sweet and has a smile for anyone and everyone — it’s no wonder, really, why Keyhana was chosen to be the King’s Candidate for her country, even if there were people with better bloodlines to pick from.  She might have lived like a noble, but she was not one, and yet she had the heart and soul of a wise ruler.

Lun, though, is different.  They can be brash and loud and tend to be a bit headstrong and stubborn, too.  When an idea gets into their mind, then it’s hard for them to forget it and try another course of action.  Not only that, but they also don’t think things through very much, either; most of the time, they simply jump into things, try to figure them out as they go, and hope for the best.  It’s a far cry from the way that Keyhana was known to be a competent planner and strategist, but Lun makes it work.  They consider Keyhana to be a mask, and will act in her persona whenever she meets someone wearing her face or have to do something related to her position as a King’s Candidate, but the more they get to know someone and the more they get close to another person, the more they will start acting like Lun instead.

Lun is a selfish person, following their whims wherever they might take them and doing whatever they want.  Who’s around to stop them, after all? And even if they get into trouble, they can just change their appearance and act like they never did anything wrong.  They stick to their word, though — if they say that they’re going to do something, they do.  For example, they promised their patron to help others wherever they could, and so they do, even if it’s far from their favorite part of life.  They will complain about the work they have to do to keep up their end of the exchange, but deep down, they *do* actually like being able to offer a little bit of help if they ever can (as long as it doesn’t take them out of their way, of course) and there’s a nice feeling of contentment that comes whenever they do.  They’re a loyal person, too — when they get close to someone, then they stick with them, and they aren’t one to throw anyone to the wolves.  They stick with their friends through thick and thin and expects the same thing in return from them.  Should they not, though... well.  It’s a bridge they can burn when they get there.

For the most part, though, Lun is invested in things just because they want to enjoy themselves and have fun, and they are eagerly looking forward to being waited on hand-and-foot once they earn their rulership.

Because they *will* get it.  Lun won’t take failure as an option.

## History

Keyhana Cragflower will tell you plenty of stories about where she’s from.  She can wax poetic about the cobbles in the streets she walked through, the salty sea air she was always breathing in, the treats and knick-knacks vendors would be selling as people walked by.  She can tell you all about her siblings, her friends, the bard she once fell into a relationship with during her teenage years.  She can share stories about when she fell into a river and was nearly swept away, share the joy and pride she experienced during her first hunt, tell how exactly she was the reason her little brother broke his wrist, exactly why and how her mothers found her and took her in and let her become part of their family.

These are lies.

She is not a half-elf, or a king candidate, or even Keyhana Cragflower at all.

They are a changeling, and their name is Lun.

Lun was born to a normal changeling family that masqueraded themselves as regular (if quite attractive) humans — quite different from the real Keyhana, who was almost a noblewoman in the large sea-faring city she grew up in.  Their own family was from a different sea-side town; one that, years ago, was just as prosperous as Keyhana’s city, Doyorox.  When Doyorox settled down and started doing business, traders went *there* instead of Lun’s own town, Sonde.  Doyorox thrived while Sonde suffered.  They were meant to be a trading town (and were the main place for trade to take place before Doyorox was founded), but the traders stopped coming, and while they were in a good place for a fishing trade to start up they had already made a name for themselves as a place to buy and sell.   Sonde became more and more abandoned and forgotten, leaving its people jobless and hungry.  The people who lived there were left with the option to either stay and starve, or to leave.

Lun’s parents starved.  Lun left.

But only after they watched the few friends she had go hungry because their parents couldn’t work anymore.

They were *angry*.  What was so special about Doyorox? What was wrong with her own town? It was perfectly *fine* for trade — they bet that they weren’t even that *good* at their jobs, anyway!

Lun traveled to a new town — a place in the forest called Centolara.  Here, they met a human man named Rem Rukard.  He took pity on them and took them under his wing, teaching them how to steal and fake and lie their way through life.  The man himself was a talented schemer, swindling the rich and poor out of their money and not spending a single dime in the process.  He was a practiced conman, and he passed his most valuable knowledge down onto Lun.  A few years after they met Rem, though, they found their patron; a celestial that contacted them through their dreams, and who wanted them to help others the best they could.  Lun agreed, and when Rem found out, he wasn’t happy — *he*, after all, had the exact opposite ambition.  He cared only about himself and he wasn’t about to let their protégée change that.

So, he left.

Left alone, Lun wandered.  They did their best to help out where they could — they had a bargain to keep up, after all, and they didn’t want to piss off their patron, if only because they didn’t want to deal with that mess — but they grew lonely, so they summed a familiar, named him Bastard, and continued on.

Then they learned about the *King Candidate* that the Overseer had chosen.  And who else would get such an honor in their country than a half-elf from godsdamned *Doyorox*? All that old anger came back up again, and they couldn’t just let it go.  Doyorox was why their parents died.  Why their friends starved.  Why their home was *ruined*.  And how could they trust some rich and spoiled Doyorox *brat* take the throne? They couldn’t, was the answer.  So they started to track her down, learning all that she could about her along the way (Rem taught her well, after all — you couldn’t pretend to be someone else without knowing anything about them).  They learned that she was the second of four siblings, that she was kind and sociable, that her family had earned quite the fortune from their merchant business, and that she had been studying magic whenever she had the time.

When she found out that she was going to an important, if informal meeting, she took that as her chance to strike.  She found the unprotected Keyhana Cragflower, killed her, and took on her shape.

She would do better than the real one.  She would live in luxury, enjoy all the profits of ruling a country, and maybe, while she was at it, she’d make sure that there wouldn’t be another Sonde.  Not while she could stop it.
