Ovarandi Umbranax

**Ovarandi Umbranax** was an NPC on *Another Bad Side Quest*. She was a Human, described as a woman of average height, with deep dark brown hair and features very similar to that of her daughter Yashani, who wore deep crimson robes, layered under a black dress, with a white mask on her hip on a belt, engraved with a moth. Yashani met an echo version of her in "A Mother's Last Wish".

**Ep. 22 - A Lesson in History**

Ovarandi was mentioned, unnamed by Yashani, when she spoke to Alaerith about his battles with his beast within him and revealed her past, that she how she was given away by her and her family, in fear of the beast within her and what she might become.

**Ep. 45 - House of Ash and Ruin**

Ovarandi was recalled by Yashani, within the *Dusterburyan Lighthouse,* when she received a slip of paper with her own name along with the last name "Umbranax" and recalled that was similar to the handwriting of the note left with her at the monastery.

**Ep. 46 - The Dead Room of Dusterbryn**

Ovarandi was mentioned when Bo found a stone coffin within the *Dead Room* of the *Dusterburyan Lighthouse,* that bore her name and when Yashani recognized it as her mother's name approached it followed by the others. The coffin baring her name sent a pulse of life, that eventually everyone started to feel, and Yashani noted that "She" wanted her to go to her and eventually revealed to them the name on the coffin was her mother's.

**Ep. 46.5 - A Mother's Last Wish**

Ovarandi met with Yashani when the stone coffin baring her name shattered from Yashani touching it, leaving only Yashani aware of an unusual passage of time as the rest of the party appeared to move in slow motion and greeted her. She revealed that Yashani was hidden in the monastery to hide her, that that feeling she felt in her, which she called arcane run off, was one she also shared, along with her father/Yashani's grandfather Thaddeus Sonny's. She explained that it was a curse that happened when he took a job from Ob, though she knew him as Velix Rex Agnus, to search the *Chasm of Spire,* that the run off caused the change in him, along with her and Yashani and was as a result of Lunala. She added that the effect didn't define her unless she chose to and that the reason Yashani was hidden was to protect her from Lunala and the Order of Ruin

Ovarandi told Yashani that the Order trapped her there, that her father died to protect her and wasn't there, and, to Yashani's need to know that they intended to come back for her. She also told her, when Yashani asked what she was to face or would try to break her, that Yashani's grandfather, having broken a long time ago, waited in the *Desert Room* and would try to hurt her, that past the *Dead Room* was the *Cavern of Ice*, and then was the *Desert Room.* She added nothing could be done for her, that she had said her prayers, had passed on and that was in front of Yashani was an echo in case Yashani ever came.

Ovarandi asked how did in rasing her Valeu, revealing Yashani's mentor was Yashani's uncle and her brother, and Yashani admitted she wish she had said her good-bye before leaving, that she did not intend to be gone so long and explained meeting how she met a sea elf at the edge of the woods, and met the others. She noted she was glad that that she had made friends and reiterated that she was never a monster unless she chose to be.

Ovarandi noted it was ok that Yashani didn't remember her voice as she was so young at the time. She also told her coffin was her last attempt to help her as she knew the Order's ambitions, that if they succeeded told her that there would be destruction and ruin, that the world was in a terrible cycle like a rock floating helplessly through the Astral Sea without anyone to help them. She added that it felt like they and everyone all died for nothing, but agreed with Yashani when she hoped she would die for something in the end.

Ovarandi revealed when she left her echo would be gone, but that she herself would never be gone and produced for her a pure ebony staff, with thin red lines making intricate patterns around it, telling her a portion of herself was within it and that it was beautiful like her daughter. She also placed her mask over Yashani's causing it to become engraved with the same moth design on hers and told her that her brother Valeu had a butterfly. She also revealed, when Yashani asked about her father, that he and her were both stubborn, him more so, that he also had more patience then her, was intelligent, kind, caring and loved Yashani enough to never want any bad thing to happen to her.

Yashani, when she took hold of the staff, felt it's power and noted she must have been quite powerful. She reminded her they never had to be apart, but still requested her to say goodbye as she never had the chance to and after final wishes and goodbyes disappeared from Yashani's sight.

**Ep. 47 - A Find, A Furnace and Frozen Bodies**

Ovarandi was referenced when the group, noticing Yashani was crying and her new gifts, and Yashani explained how she met her, that the gifts were from her and what she learned from the group. She was referenced a little later when Yashani privately told Alaerith that her earlier beliefs of being a monster and abandoned were not true, that she was no monster, that she and her father/Yashani's grandfather also were the same, that she claimed she would be with her and a part of her was within the items given, which seemed to possibly be literal when Alaerith saw the new moth on her mask seemed to emerge from the mask and returned to it.

Ovarandi was referenced later on when most of the the group later saw the moth emerged from the mask as well and, after Sterling identified the items given to her, revealed the mask had a slight consciousness with in it and likely her mother was literally with her. She was referenced briefly when Alaerith silently asked in his mind for the being, if she was her mother, to keep Yashani safe in the *Dusterburyan Lighthouse*.

**Ep. 48 - The Cold Room**

Ovarandi was referenced briefly when Seren told Yashani and the group that Yashani's new mask had a powerful aura though not harmful, which Yashani acquainted to being due to a piece of her possibly being with her.

**Ep. 51 - At Unexpected Corners**

Ovarandi was referenced briefly when Yashani, speaking with Seren in a way to help Alaerith deal with his turmoil, noted he was unlikely to find his mother in a coffin like she did.

Ovarandi was referenced later when Yashani spoke with Valeu about her fate and the gifts she recieved from her.

**Ep. 52 - Behind the Waterfall**

Ovarandi was referenced briefly when Valeu explained to Seren how she requested he hide Yashani from those hunting both her daughter and her.
