Vella was a captain in the Southern Isles, who gave up the pirate life to become a revolutionary in Mordehall. She arrived in the Principality in AeP 446 and moved to Pruzer. There she helped kill a Draining Spider pair below the city and was later hired by the Mordish Birding Society to help track down a thief. In the few days that followed she helped spark the rebellion against the Kaiser. Vella had a pet rat named rook and was talented with a sword.

## History

Vella was a Twin Folk from Vejell. From an early age she began to serve aboard pirate ships. Her height gave her the nickname Bear. At fourteen she joined the crew of the *Jade Song* She sailed the isles and the southern oceans, picking up skills and befriending the rats. Around ten years later, Vella had become a captain. She noticed raids of Mordish ships were getting less productive each year. She set down on the Mordish coast to investigate. She found a system of oppression and class inequality. Feeling bad for the common folk of Mordehall, she retired as a pirate and set about trying to help them. Eventually this took her to Pruzer. In Sharus of AeP 446, she helped out a group of miners by taking on a pair of Draining Spiders beneath the city. During this event, she met Skua and the Curator. They were also helping eliminate the spiders. She also met Orna Wellis, a Legionnaire.

Months later, Vella had become somewhat trusted by the Mordish Birding Society. She was hired to help them track down a thief and return the stolen notes to a Society professor. Once more she was working with Skua and the Curator, along with Osprey and K.R. They spent a day searching Pruzer for Dan Irem, the thief. At one point, Vella had her wallet stolen. Skua got it back for her. Later they sound several pocket watches bearing the seal of Pellisberg. At the end of the day Vella went with K.R. and Osprey to what they believed was a Pellisberg safehouse, working with Irem. Vella subdued the man inside.

The following day, the group joined up with a student of the Professor named Sylvie. Following the word of their captive, the group chased Irem into the Procession of Peace. There Vella took part in the festivities, winning fifty regents in an arm wrestling competition. She also played a pivotal role when the group was ambushed by Pelliberg operatives. She killed several and helped take down their captain. The group then went to Miirshire where they ended up in a battle with a Woman in a Suit, commanding a group of Mordish Regulars. The Woman had captured osprey and was going to kill him. Vella duled with the executioner after Sylvie used magic to stop the execution. The group rescued Osprey and fled into the mines. There they found a group of miners who were worried about the Crown Troops. Sylvie also told the group what was in the notes, a human enchantment ritual. She offered one person in the group the power of flight. Vella and the rest turned her down. Vella then fought with the miners in a battle against the Woman. In the fight she was poisoned and forced to flee the woman, but took down several regulars. After the battle was won she stayed with the miners to help protect them.
