## Relationships

### Lawphee Songsteel

In the beginning of their adventures, Tetra found Lawphee's antics grating. As they grew closer, she saw the good in him: loyalty, compassion, and bravery. Lawphee truly saw Tetra, all the good and bad, and truly cared for her. She came to respect him as a friend and ally before her feelings blossomed into more. After they saved Lawphee from his patron, Tetra's feelings burst forth as she kissed him on his lips, overjoyed that he was alive.

After saving Waterdeep, the two went on a long journey together. They visited Thay, Lawphee's home, and reconnected with his family. Going back to Arabel, the two proved her brother's accusations to be false and cleared his name. At the end of their yearlong trip, the two were wed with the rest of the Juicing Guild and their families.

### Este

In the early days, Este's use of magic and bizarrely flirtatious nature (which, thankfully, was never directed towards her) was an unappealing deterrent, but with his quick thinking, logic, and bravery, he gained Tetra's trust and loyalty easily. In Tetra's mind, Este is the unquestionable leader of the Juicing Guild. There is nearly no one that she trusts more; she sees him as a true brother and loves him as such.

### Halsun Stoneheart

Tetra's father, Halsun, is loving and doting towards his children. He is a friendly man, eager to make friends rather than enemies. A businessman by trade, Halsun often recalls the long lost glory days of the Stoneheart family; he clings to whatever small amount of nobility his family still has.

### Aselda Stoneheart (Deceased)

Halsun's second wife, Aselda, was mother to Tetra and Kraya. A hard working woman whose life was tragically cut short in a mining accident.

### Tordek Stoneheart

Tordek is Tetra's older half brother. His mother, Aselda, died when he was young. He was Tetra's Guard Captain back home in Arabel, but things started to go awry.

## History

### Early Years

Tetra Stoneheart was born and raised in Arabel, a commerce-focused city known for it’s Bitter Black ale, with her parents, Halsun and Aselda, and two siblings: an older half-brother, Tordek, and younger sister, Kraya. The Stoneheart family was minor nobility, clinging to its former glory of days past. Growing up, Tetra helped her father with his shops, while her mother preferred simpler, manual labor. When Tetra was still a young girl, her world was shattered when her mother died in a mining accident. It was shortly thereafter that Tetra found comfort in the Dwarf Father’s temple and began a journey of faith.

At eighteen, Tetra followed her brother’s cue and became a member of the City Guard, serving under Tordek’s leadership as Guard Captain. For years, Tetra dutifully balanced a strict schedule of guard duty, service to Moradin in the Piety Guild, and aiding her father’s shops with little time for friends or frivolity.

Unfortunately, her naivety and love for her brother blinded her from the growing corruption seeded deep in his heart. There was a foul stench in Arabel: people began to go missing, men and women were killed or exiled, inventory stolen. For too long, Tetra refused to believe her brother was behind the deeds, but the evidence continued to pile up. Eventually, she could not deny the blood that was on her brother’s hands. Before she could act, a group rose up against him and he fled from the city.

Tetra blamed herself for not seeing the light sooner - perhaps she could have stopped him, had she not been so dim-witted. Frustrated, hurt, and betrayed, Tetra left Arabel in an attempt to bring back honor to her family’s name and to bring good into the world. Her greatest fear was to become like her brother - consumed by greed and corrupted by selfishness. She mourned the disgrace that he brought to the Stoneheart name.

Through happenstance, or perhaps Moradin himself, she came to Waterdeep in pursuit of her next quest to defeat evil and protect the weak.
