## **About Pandora**

#### **Appearance**

Pandora is a 5'9" burnt orange tiefling with a long, thin, half-spade tail and a pair of black double horns curving towards the back of her head. Her horns have been drilled into and have a number of gold jewellery adornments dangling from them. She has spatterings of golden freckles all over her body, which glow like the heart of a forge. Her fingernails and toenails are black and pointed. Her hair is long and wavy, dark brown in colour, fading into a red ombre at the tips. As she is in Domus Medeis, her uniform is the standard black chiton, with the blue belt and hem accents of her house. She wears her Domus Medeis emblem pin on the left side of her chiton.

#### **Personality**

Pandora is incredibly studious, dedicated and intelligent. Her family has always had an ethos of hard work and striving for success, so this diligence and academic proclivity has been drilled into her from a young age. As such, she has something of a fear of failure, so is rather insecure about her own abilities. Pandora also has chronic anxiety and is prone to panic attacks, particularly when it comes to academic exams, or when she is put into a situation she doesn't know how to deal with. She has been known to take Instant Comfort potions to help her cope with this stress. When she feels comfortable in a situation though, or has the reassurance of those she trusts, she is sweet, helpful and practical.

#### **Equipment and** **Key Possessions**

Pandora uses a tangerine quartz crystal on the end of a long black dowsing chain as her spellcasting focus. On the journey to fulfil the contract in Ithia, the party found a dagger lodged in a lightning-struck tree. Mayes cleaned the dagger up and later gave it to Pandora - this turned out to be the Seablade of the Ocean Nymph. Pandora also recently commandeered a Hat of Wizardry from the office of Councillor Hammon.

#### **Familiar**

Pandora can use the 'Find Familiar' spell as a ritual, and commonly has her familiar with her - a kingfisher fey spirit named Puck. Where a regular kingfisher would have blue/turquoise feathers, Sasha has stated that Puck's are more of a blue/black.

## **Biography**

### **Background**

Pandora is the middle child of three tiefling sisters, born to Stefano di Rossi (a human) and a tiefling. The three girls grew up in awe of their mother, who worked as aide to the Imperata of Erran, but died of an illness when Pandora was only eight. Both the girls' parents encouraged were strict in their discipline of academic achievement, wanting each of the girls to grow up accomplished and able to go into a similar position to their mother. Aside from the strictness of their upbringing, the di Rossis are incredibly close, particularly following the death of their mother. Pandora has used Sending to contact her father a number of times, once in particular when she awoke from a nightmare about her mother. There is nothing more important to Pandora than her father and sisters.

Pandora's older sister Persephone is four years her senior, and was also a top student in Domus Medeis at Delphos Academy. Persephone is engaged to Roys Kyriak, an elven man, and they both work as aides to Councillor Adamos, an important political figure in Erran. Penelope, Pandora's younger sister, is five years her junior, and is due to start at Delphos Academy in the next academic year, just after Pandora is due to graduate. Pandora speaks of both of her sisters in incredibly high regard.

#### **The Party**

Icarus Pelayo

Pandora gets on with Icarus incredibly well, and calls him "definitely the coolest guy I know". She shies away from the compliments and praise that he gives her, thinking herself unworthy of them and getting embarrassed about being put on a pedestal. When the party started following the leads for the Brotherhood of the Griffon in order to help Icarus learn more about Niklaus Mueller, their getting involved in the fight in Kondou's smuggling ring really shook Pandora. However, she resolved to continue to help the party progress in their search for answers, as her desire to help Icarus outweighed her fear of getting involved in illegal activity.

Mayes Hasegawa

Pandora gets on with Mayes equally as well, and believes them to be incredible dedicated and skilled. The two haven't spent much time as just the two of them yet, but Pandora thinks they'd make a very practical, efficient team. Pandora was the one to first discover the presence of the ghost attached to Mayes' back, which elevated the issue to the faculty at Delphos Academy, and then lead the party to Eris Minorix to discover more from the centaur, Kalifna.

#### **Key Characters**

Damianos Thalasse

Pandora enjoys Damen's company, and thinks him a very talented fighter, despite having previously known very little about The Maw and gladiator culture. She has also been known to become exasperated with Damen when he plays dumb, and he, knowing it annoys her, plays harder into this performance to wind her up even further.

Alexander Escholme

Alexander is Pandora's mentor at Delphos Academy, and is a highly distinguished Evocation Wizard from Marlborough, in the North West of Caldera. Alexander has mentored Pandora for her last two years at Delphos, and is often show to be incredibly supportive, comforting and patient with her, particularly in her bouts of anxiety. Pandora has been in love with Alexander since she first laid eyes on him, though hasn't voiced this attraction to many, and vehemently denies it when questioned.
