Rev Stiltwalker

Art by @PiSharpArt

Rev (*she/her*) is an undead drow woman and the Paragon of the Raven Queen. As an NPC, she is played by GM Connie Chang in The Second Stranger.

Rev, short for *Revenant*, is an undead cavalier from the Court of Ravens. Born as *Mist Stiltwalker*, she grew up as a cavalier of the Court and was engaged to Leaf Dreameye in her early adulthood. Leaf and Mist were both killed in cold blood by The Myriad, but Mist returned to the Now as a revenant in a fit of rage, and took on the name Rev. From then on, she wandered Andake in search of the Myriad, hoping to enact her revenge.

## *Description*

### Appearance

Rev is a tall, muscular drow woman with pale grey skin, long black hair, golden eyes, and intricate golden tattoos of raven wings on her arms. She wears sleeveless black and purple leather armor and carries a spiked whip. After becoming the Paragon of the Raven Queen, Rev’s hair is streaked with white, and one of her eyes is pure black, sclera and all. She wears a cape of black feathers and her tattoos seem to move, and she carries Grimm, a silver handled scythe with a black blade. In Arc 4, Øka cuts her hair into a handsome mullet with shaved sides.

### Personality

Rev is strong-willed, protective, and has at times been referred to as arrogant. She is loyal, honorable, and courageous, but slow to trust, relying on her own power to make it through life unscathed. Her drive for vengeance has been her primary focus for most of her undeath, though in the course of the campaign she softens and learns to love once again.

## *Biography*

### Backstory

Rev was born as Mist Stiltwalker in the sparsely populated capital of the Court of Ravens, Blackspire. There, she trained as a knight, a cavalier, and a retain to the priests of the Raven Queen from her early childhood. Due to her prowess and skill with martial forms, Mist was quickly paired off with Leaf Dreameye, whom she fell deeply in love with. Mist's closest friend growing up was a fellow cavalier, In Memoriam of the Lost, whom she became quite intimate with as time progressed. Surprising everyone, Leaf also harbored romantic feelings for Mist, and the two were engaged. Citlalli Thornheart, Leaf's mentee, was deeply unhappy with Mist and Leaf's relationship, and the two of them were often at odds with one another. After receiving a vision, Leaf and Mist left the Court of Ravens on a pilgrimage -- and never returned.

Midway through the journey, Mist and Leaf were attacked by the Myriad. The demon offered to let Mist trade her life for Leaf's, which she immediately agreed to. But as she was dying, The Myriad killed Leaf and let them both die, together. This enraged Mist's soul, and she returned from death as a revenant, swearing to hunt down the Myriad and enact revenge. She wandered Andake for nearly seven years, lost and angry, until the Cataclysm.
