**Perasona Jiwa** is a famous Eladrin musician and singer.

## Description

### Appearance

As she is an Eladrin, Perasona’s appearance shifts depending on her mood. She has four appearances based on the four seasons. Overall most of her style is fun and feminine, and she wears outfits which complement the season she is reflecting. She usually wears pretty light makeup, as her shifting skin tone makes it impossible to have a consistent match. Thankfully her complexion is naturally quite glowing, and her eye-shape stays consistent enough for her to always be able to rock some nice eyeliner and mascara.

#### Spring

Perasona’s Spring form has pale, apple-green skin and bright green eyes. Her hair is primarily blonde, but fades to a pale sky blue at the final third. Her hair has gentle curls, and reaches a little past her shoulder blades.

When Perasona chooses this form, she dresses in light, spring-time dresses to match. She wears a fairly youthful style with lots of pastel greens and yellows, as well as some earthy browns in the form of knee high leather boots. Because of the music she plays in her springtime form, her outfits are hardly ever complete without a guitar.

#### Summer

The Summer version of Perasona is a firecracker, and very much so looks the part. She has light golden yellow skin, and hair which ombrés from a bright orange to a more golden color. Her hair is shorter in this season, only touching her collarbone. Perasona’s eyes look as if they are made of fire, with small freaks of yellow and red appearing within the orange and tan.

Summer Perasona dresses in overlapping layers. Her main outfit consists of a pale orange sleeveless turtleneck and a paneled skirt, overtop which she wears multiple belts, as well as a brown leather underbust corset. She wears thigh high yellow stockings and knee high brown leather boots with some armored elements on the knees. She also wears brown leather bracers which come up to cover her elbows. The final element of her outfit is a cloak, which starts of yellow at the hood and becomes more of an orange color at the bottom. The cloask is painstakingly embroidered with countless tiny suns.

#### Autumn

In her Autumn form, Perasona’s aesthetic shifts to warm autumnal colors. Her skin is a warm orange hue, and her eyes are a coppery red. Her hair is straighter in this form, and reaches not far past her collarbone. Similarly to her summer form, Autumn Perasona has soft, side swept bangs. Near the roots it is a deep red color, which fades into a pumpkin orange towards the end.

Perasona’s autumn ensemble is what some could call “adventure chic”. She wears a stylish orange dress with geometric yellow embroidery around the collar and hem. Over this she wears an under bust corset made of reddish brown leather, and matching belts. She wears a darker orange short sleeved coat over everything, which she leaves open. This season’s music includes a number of woodwind instruments which she carries in a leather messenger bag. Her knee high boots are similarly styled to those she wears for her Spring Ensemble, but they are darker colored to match the autumnal hues

#### Winter

Perasona’s winter form is beautiful and elegant, but also somewhat intimidating, like a winter storm. Her skin is a pale, icy blue color, which causes her already slender frame to look all the more lithe. Her eyes are incredibly striking, as the corneas are a navy blue color, while the irises are a light aquamarine. This form has the longest hair, as it brushes the back of her knees. It is an incredibly pale rose-gold color, which is more pigmented at the base. She does minimal styling on this hair, instead allowing it to flow freely down her back.

Winter’s style is reminiscent both of resplendent evening gowns and of belly dancers. She wears a pale blue bedlah top which is held up by a delicate cord wrapped around her neck. The hemlines of her top are a beautiful silver color, and the top is stitched to look like delicate waves. At the place where the top and the cording meet is a large kyanite stone. Her sleeves fall off the shoulder, and are made of a sheer, shimmery blue fabric.

Her skirt is made of the same silken material as her top, and cascades over her legs like a frozen waterfall. Her midriff and hips are exposed, and long slits in the sides of her skirt make her legs easily visible as well. The silver fabric around her hips is stitched in a similar way to her top, curling outward from her exposed skin. Instead of the boots she wears for other ensembles, Perasona’s winter outfit utilizes a pair of delicate blue slippers.

### Personality

Perasona Jiwa is a kind, albeit rather naive, young woman. She has real, genuine passion for her craft, and her dream is to share the magic and beauty of her music with the world. All she really desires is to sing songs which can make people happy. When she discovered the possibility that her music could be used to harm others, she was horrified and heartbroken. She feels a deep sense of appreciation for her fans, which has led her to fight to keep them safe from those who have tried to harm them.

## Biography

### Background

Perasona's past has become something of a mystery. While she remembers a fairly normal, happy childhood in which she had a loving family who taught her how to play beautiful music, all of that has come into question lately with the discovery that at her core is a shard.

### Spire City

It was during one of Perasona's performances in Spire City that everything in her life was turned upside down. She had visited the city a few times before, and had an established fanbase, but this was going to be her best concert tour yet. She had arranged a wonderful, underground venue with glow-stick door swag and magical surround sound. At first, it seemed that the concert would be everything that she, and all of her fans, could ever have dreamed of. From the moment she emerged onstage her audience was absolutely captivated by her melodious voice. So captivated, in fact, that nobody noticed when a group of Mind Flayers emerged from the shadows and began using their Mind Blasts to pacify the crowd.

Quickly, the concert turned to chaos. Those whose minds could not resist the Mind Flayers were placed in a trance-like state, and even those who were unaffected were largely powerless to fight back. Umber Hulks emerged and began ushering many of the hypnotized crowd into tunnels. Perasona herself was immune to the Psionic blasts, but she had no fighting instinct, and instead began to panic. Thankfully, there were a few others in the crowd who were not so delicate. A group of adventurers managed to take down the Mind Flayer Vanguard, though not without some collateral damage. One of the adventurers, a Tortle named Dordlo, closed off the entrance to the lair using *Leomond's Tiny Hut.* Perasona gathered what little courage she had, and used her powerful voice in order to break the hold the Mind Flayers had over some of the crowd. But there was something unnatural about her abilities which went beyond her normal bardic magic. Even Perasona was not sure what had happened. The adventurers were able to call for reinforcements from UMAA and Norlond, and soon an army of mechanized soldiers arrived and sealed off the tunnels. By this point, at least a third of the crowd had already been taken. Furthermore, some of the adventurer's were looking at Perasona with a strange, almost fearful look.

That was when it was revealed that Perasona was not all that she seemed to be. While she looked like an Eladrin, and everything she could remember in her life would imply that she was just a normal, albeit incredibly talented, woman, in reality she was nothing more than an illusion. Her body, the person she thought she was, turned out to really be no more than a vessel for something that the adventurer's referred to as a "shard". During the fight, one of the adventurer's had seen her seemingly fading in and out of existence, and another had actually caught sight of the stone within her. And that explained why the Mind Flayers had no effect on her. She wasn't real.

The next day, Perasona sought out the adventurers, wanting to thank them for their bravery in saving her and what parts of the audience they could. When they told her that they had been tasked to go into the Mind Flayer's hide out, Perasona insisted that she should come along with them. Although some of the adventurers tried to dissuade her from joining them, Perasona was insistent.

"Stuff could get dangerous. Are you sure you want to come? Or....actually, why do you want to come?" asked Berry.

Perasona explained that she felt that she had a responsibility to seek revenge for those in the crowd who had been killed. And, given the rather startling information she had received the night prior regarding...her entire existence, she had a haunted feeling that somehow what had happened at the concert was at least partly her fault.

Perasona and the adventurers delved into the Mind Flayer's lair, where they found many of the stolen audience members in cages. They were somewhat the worse for wear, and in a magical sleep, but they were alive. After Rineth woke Rhea, a young human girl, Perasona had the honor of meeting one of her biggest fans. She was overcome with mixed emotions. On one hand, it seemed that she was achieving her dream of making people happy. But, on the other hand, was this happiness actually a side effect of something sinister? Perasona and the adventurer's fought off the nearby guards, with Perasona managing to take one of them down with a harsh use of *Vicious Mockery*.

After freeing the prisoners, the group continued their exploration, finding more prisoners, servants, and terrifying creatures. Perasona watches the rather terrifying spectacle of a group of rats whose brains had been swapped with some gnomes were electrocuted. While the others moved on, Perasona stopped to try and collect herself, all the while being relentlessly catcalled by the rat-brained gnomes. Surely, she thought, things could not get more traumatic than this. (Wrong!)

When Perasona and the party reunited, they were escorted by a group of Cerviters to yet another strange room containing the largest shard any of them had seen. The shard was surrounded by smaller stones on pillars, which reflected light in a beautiful spider web. When the stones were taken away, the room was filled with a deafening, deep silence. Perasona was frozen, unable to move or even think. In the moment that the silence began, Perasona was thrown into the void. The next thing she knew, she was back in the same room, and every sound that was uttered in her absence came crashing into her at full force. Whatever silence the shard had caused seemed to interfere with Perasona's very existence. But, on the bright side....she was now being worshipped as the Cerviters new queen.
