Naphako

Naphako is on a mission to become a Paladin of Napha, the goddess of peace. Many view her strange, chimera-like body as monstrous but she’s ready to prove it’s what’s on the inside that counts. ‬ ‪Hobbies include sketching local wildlife and learning about anything and everything.‬

## Backstory

Naphako is, as far she knows, a one of kind organic construct. She was created by a Vedalken Necromancer named "Retsehcor" though she has almost no memory of her time with him. He wiped her memory just in time to be rescued by The Shepherds of Defiance an alliance of the faithful, and more specifically by "The Cranes" an order of mainly women dedicated to Napha, the Goddess of Peace. She was kept cloistered within the temple for two years, as her appearance often garnered too many questions.

However, Naphako felt deeply that she could give more than what she was able to do in the Temple of Ughord. She decided to sneak away from the temple and go on a pilgrimage to ask Napha to accept her as Paladin. Hoping this would prove to her order that she is worthy.

As she travels with her friends she begins to recover memories, and eventually realizes she is constructed from different people. When in the Frigid Expanse she and her friends confronted an Artificer wreaking havoc on the land and discovers that this man is the one and the same Retsehcor who created her and some of the people inside her begin to reassert themselves.
