Marcella Charmont

```
   1 == History ==

```

 Marcella was born to a family of scholarly mages. This was possibly the worst thing ever for her development and future, and perhaps the general wellbeing of people around her as well. When normal children are forbidden something it's usually something like a sibling's toy or a thing they shouldn't eat, and the worst case scenario is that they get sick or scolded. In Marcella's case what was forbidden to her was actual forbidden lore and creepy magical relics of a dubious ethical nature. In short, the kind of things that would make priests and paladins mutter prayers over as they clutched their holy symbols. Instead of "No, put the knife away before you cut yourself!" it was "No, put the forbidden tome away before you summon a demon!" It became a point of incredible fascination and lifelong curiosity for her, and her parents finally reached the point of accepting that they failed at parenting and took the opposite approach, encouraging and supporting her interests. They hoped that maybe, just maybe, her interest would only be scholarly and she could still be a productive, normal, and functional member of society. Maybe she could put it to good use, educating and aiding inquisitors and others who hunted undead and the forces of evil. They meant well. It just didn't work as planned.

   2 == Appearance ==

```

 Marcella's appearance seems like exactly what you'd expect of a charismatic sorceress acting as the face of a cult of an evil deity wearing their allegiance on their sleeve. The penchant for black clothes and dark makeup suits her. She collects jewelry decorated with symbols associated with the darker side of magic or evil deities. She wears it well, but it presents the image of someone trying too hard to look the part, like an amateur adventurer disguising themselves as a cultist.

```
   3 == Personality ==

```

Eccentric. She's usually reserved and mellow, though certain topics or situations get her riled up and then she displays a manic level of energy and emotion. It sometimes reaches the point where she might seem a little crazed. Much like her fashion sense she keeps her interests and strange views on things like necromancy and the lower planes right out in the open. Predictably this makes her seem like a lunatic, though it's not immediately obvious if she's dangerously crazy, harmlessly crazy, or really naive. Despite her interests she's a nice person... usually. This is mostly due to her considering most things and people unimportant. When it comes to actually important things she tends to be morally dubious and pragmatic. It is perhaps her rakshasa lineage that keeps her from falling into villainy, the heritage bestowing a sense of community, loyalty, and duty in her that ultimately makes her very much a team player with regards to the place she's settled into and the people within it.

```
   4 == Fears ==

```

 Since gaining more exposure to the world outside of her home she's started to worry a little that all the pretty artwork of succubi, hot vampire chicks, and others lied to her and that they aren't as cuddly and fun as the images implied.

```
   5 == Hobbies ==

```

 Reading, research, forbidden lore, and collecting cute things.

```

 None
