## Description

Feel free to change this page if this is your Player Character. This is purely based off what the token art shows and what I can remember.

V is a human sorcerer from the city of Neverwinter. She has auburn red hair, and under each of her eyes is a tiny, straight scar that appears to be the result of a surgical incision of some sort. She wears fancy clothes and a scarlet cloak when not dressed in cold weather furs. Around her neck she wears a necklace, attached to which is a dark purple crystal. On more than one occasion, it's been noticed that she eats an abnormal amount of food for someone of her size.

V is quiet and reserved, and speaks softly and slowly. She is the victim of constant nightmares, sometimes waking up from her sleep still exhausted from the day before. More so, on more than one occasion, she has fainted when in contact with power sources of immense psychic power. In combat, V tends to stay far back, hurling spells from a distance, often out of reach of enemies, and when they get too close, uses her telekenetic powers to push them away.

## Relationships

V comes from Neverwinter, where she was the daughter of a wealthy caravan merchant. Nothing more is known of her family from this time.

V met Quintus in Icewind Dale when he found her, nearly dead, outside of Bryn Shander. He brought her inside and nursed her back to health. The two have been very close ever since.

At one point in Bryn Shander, V developed a relationship with Mr. Budward Southton, who she at one points admits manipulating on purpose so he would provide her with gold.

At one point, V was abducted by Illithads, likely led by one named Svedderacks. She escaped when the ship was attacked and crashed in the tundra.

## Biography

### Pre-Icewind Dale

V was the daughter of a wealthy caravan merchant from Neverwinter. She was the heir to this wealth. Not much else is known of V from this period of her life.

### Arriving in Icewind Dale

At one point, V claimed to have came to Icewind Dale as part of a merchant caravan bringing goods to the north. When passing through the Spine of the World, she claims an avalanche fell on the caravan and she escaped, making it to Bryn Shander before collapsing from exhaustion.

However, it has since become apparent that was at list partly untrue as memories begin to come back to her. Her visions, which happen to be memories, show her aboard a flying vessel manned by Illithads. It was attacked as it passed over the Spine of the World, subsequently crashing into the mountains. She managed to survive the crash and made her way north, making it to Bryn Shander where Quintus found her collapsed and freezing.

In Icewind Dale, V and Quintus stayed mostly in the Northlook. Often times, as V was discovering her newfound abilities, she would sneak out in the night and use her newfound abilities to manipulate people. During this time, she met Mr. Budward Southton, who became a favorite mark of hers to swindle.

### Joining the Snow Drifters

One day, Quintus and V found a job posting for Adventurers, Mercenaries, Freelancers, Warriors, Investigators, Guards, Bruisers, Rat-catchers and Opportunists. V and Quintus decided to inquire about the job, meeting Sapphira, Big Smile and Gabar while waiting for Hlin Trollbane. When Hlin Trollbane arrived, she tasked the group with finding some dwarves that were attacked by a yeti. While they failed to find the yeti, they did find a goblin raiding party, who they attacked. Realizing their complementary abilities, from there, they decided to stick together.

In the Snow Drifters, V usually sticks to the rear of combat, firing combat spells that deal damage or incapacitate targets from a distance, well out of range from normal attacks. If the fighting closes in on her, she has been seen to be able t use telekenetic powers to push enemies away. Outside of combat, V rarely engages directly in conversation, but has opened up about her past with the illithads several times. She also has been proven to be effective with a lock pick when needed.

In the mines near Termalaine, it was first apparent something was strange when she began to receive psionic feedback from a source within the mine. Further exploration led them to a strange looking skull with a purple crystal inside, which V took possession of. After she took the crystal, she found herself struggling to sleep, and later identification of the crystal showed it to be cursed, but V demands to hold on to it "for safekeeping."

At one point, when talking about magic, V revealed to the party that she sometimes has the ability to "see" the weave.

Several times, V has shown the ability to commune with the afterlife. In a seance performed by Renaldo, V was able to see the White Lady. At a later time, V herself was able to perform the same seance and saw visions of Ten Towns being destroyed by a beam of light coming from a spire. Another instance includes a time she saw a woman tied to the chardalyn masthead in Easthaven that none other could see. She has also been able to commune with the bodies of the deceased on more than one occasion.

In Lonelywood, the party encountered a man named Talvaster, who approached V. He claims that his dreams have been giving him visions for several months after the comet fell from the sky. The visions include speaking in a language he doesn't understand, but he knows "they" are desperately searching for something and "they" showed him a vision of V. He begged the party to return what they are looking for and gives the party a large sum of coin to do so. When exposed to the V's crystal, Talvaster was racked with pain in his head. It is assumed that Talvaster was being haunted by the illithads.

Another incident when V was assaulted by people haunted by the illithads occurred in Bryn Shander after the chardalyn dragon attack. A man approached V and began speaking in another voice telling V to deliver the crystal, as the man's neck snapped and tentacles popped out the top of his head and attacked.

In the Lost Spire, an argument erupted amongst the party members about how to use a magical room that could cause illusions to be turned to reality after Vellynne claimed the room was unstable. Big Smile, Gabar and Ilikan wanted to use to room to create riches (Gabar and Big Smile wanted to pay off their bounties while Ilikan wanted diamonds to be used at material spell components.) V, Quintus and Vellynne wanted to room to remain undisturbed until it could be studied or repaired, while Sapphira believed the room capable of creating devils or aberrations and should be destroyed. After the argument died down, V and Big Smile spoke, where V assured Big Smile that even if he had a bounty on his head, there isn't much of a need to try to pay it off since the Snow Drifters are his family and would protect him.
