## Biography

### Early Life

Krystal, born Katyri Laurelborne of the Maari tribe, was born on the northern coast of Korlan. Her father, Tyrone, is a well-known merchant that found success in his business connections with neighboring Shau and Wresten. He started the Latte Sails N' Shipping Company before Krystal was born and was able to provide a luxurious lifestyle to his family. Her mother, Ava, was from a noble family in Shau whom she left to marry Tyrone. When Krystal was barely 1 year-old, Ava was killed in a shipping accident just outside the harbor.

### Education

#### Tutors

As early as Krystal can remember, she was surrounded by nannies. Her father called upon the best tutors to teach her about business, sailing, sport and etiquette. She excelled in her studies, particularly sailing and business, but her father wanted a more "civilized" environment for her with other children, so he sent her to boarding school in Wresten until she was 18 years-old.

#### University

After she left boarding school, Krystal was accepted into the Albani Institute of Magic. Although she struggled in her classes, she found great success in school activities and became captain of the rowing team. She was president of her sorority, Beta Alpha Delta, and she was voted school's "Most Likely to Be the Next Miss Toivoa." At the end of her third year, Krystal suddenly dropped out of school and disappeared from the grounds. Rumors spread that she ran off with a goliath to South Korlan, but no evidence of that was found. Within a month, all record of her ever attending the school was stricken from their books, and the board, including President Rothschild, denied she was ever admitted.

### Life on *The Changemaker*

For the next year, Krystal left no trace of her whereabouts until she was spotted on the outskirts of Nousha. People in town remember seeing a blonde centaur, sporting bright pink armor, wandering the city holding a pamphlet and mumbling about a guy named Larry "Natch" Lief. In another section of the city, she was spotted standing in line talking to a kobold, grung and elf. It sounded like they were arguing about corn when they were ambushed by bounty hunters and thrown in prison with two others under false pretenses. Krystal's cell mates revealed themselves to be Seatoad Coin, Safira, Ruzyd and her two former schoolmates, Tahti Randaja and Bryn Gemflower. However, overnight all six companions had disappeared from their cells. Each night guard at the prison swore that they never left their posts, but nonetheless, reported an inordinate amount of paper cuts and that all of their loose change had been taken. Krystal swears it wasn't her.

That same night, the ship, *Nebula*, was suspected stolen after a few dock workers playing cards remembered seeing a glowing pink centaur standing on the side of the ship yelling at several other figures. The *Nebula* has since disappeared, but Krystal and the rest of those imprisoned in Nousha appeared again in Riport on a ship named *The Changemaker* with a curious figurehead at the front. They were seen in the company of Gerrard and then again with Skeeas Cross in Endland Pointe, with Krystal in particular, looking rather intimate. It is safe to assume the Longstrider's Consortium has been found in her favor.

## Family History

### Tribal Ties

Krystal was born into the Maari tribe curtesy of her father's bloodline. At birth, her mother named her Katyri, meaning God's favor, but her father assigned her a common name, Krystal, soon after her mother's death. He also removed his family name, Laurelborne, from his businesses and legal documents. He rebranded himself Tyrone Latte of Latte Sailing N' Shipping and moved Krystal to a quiet, coastal town named South Cove. The Maari retaliated by burning his symbol and thereby removing him from the tribe forever.

### Religious Practices

As a firstborn, Krystal was given in service to Fufluns as per what is customary for the Maari. Instead, Hana emerged at her dedication to display her favor for Krystal and blessed her with incredible beauty. Since Krystal's father was removed from the Maari, he instilled no regular practice in her and no regular prayers. She remains indifferent to the gods to this day and has a general belief that she is just "special."

## Skills

Krystal has an extensive background in sailing. She is also known to be effective at negotiations, which really means she just gets what she wants and expects it. She has a reputation for charming her friends and enemies alike into submission but is still learning how to actually be helpful like the other clerics.

While she was in her sorority at A.I.M., Krystal was given valuable connections abroad that offered her cosmetics in exchange for her pledge to the Beta Alpha Deltas. Not one to pass up on a brand sponsorship, she exclusively uses their product which has been banned by Wresten's Food and Drug Administration for being quite toxic.
