Epicaste

(Insert quote here)

## Appearance

Epicaste's natural skin is a darker blue dorsally and a lighter blue ventrally, like many other sea creatures. The fins on her ears, forearms, and lower legs can make it difficult to blend in. Nowadays, she is usually seen as a young, human woman wearing commoners' clothes and a hat. However, no matter her current skin color, she always keeps her grey eyes.

## Personality

Epicaste usually maintains her composure and bottles up her emotions. However, when that bottle bursts open, those floodgates are not so easily repaired, especially since she heavily depends on alcohol to numb herself.

Like most people, she's friendly on her good days and prickly on her bad days. Either way, she keeps her distance from most people and does not open up about herself very easily.

## Abilities

When in combat, Epicaste tends to attack her enemies with Chill Touch from a distance.

Even though she can't wear armor, she can cast Mage Armor on herself.

## Relationships

Epicaste's best friend is the albino kenku, Coin. They've been roommates for about a decade.

Epicaste is a personable person (most days) and has made quite a few friends, including:

* Rozsa: Even though Rozsa was one of the people against Epicaste's attempts to talk the villagers to give them more gold for investigating the wolves, they grew closer over time.
* Lyxander:
* Lav Drago: They shared their somewhat secret origins over drinks at the profit pub. Later, they fought the Nian together, and Lav revealed his thirst. The two of them made a deal to exchange drinks when needed.

Acquaintances:

* Rice Gohan: They met at the Colosseum during the tournament. At the afterparty in the Profit Pub, he helped her to a room when she passed out drunk.
* Hidalgo: They met at the Colosseum during the tournament when he sold her a cup of tea. They also ran into each other at the Profit Pub a couple times.
* Melius: They briefly met after the tournament, at the Profit Pub, where Melius introduced Epicaste to avocado toast with whipped cream.
* Ngo Budhi: He and his partner helped give her the cathartic therapy session she needed during one of her lowest points, after a certain traumatizing quest. They met again at a park, where Ngo sang her to sleep, and a few more times while hunting Yule Lads.
* Horton: They met while hunting the sheep Yule Lad.
* Evelynn: They bonded at the Crock's Pot over pomegranate cake and shared experience trying to avoid people they care about.

Enemies/People she doesn't like:

* Arthur O Faolain: One of the people who went to investigate some wolves with her. He was very against her attempts to convince the villagers to compensate them extra, even for bringing back any possible survivors. They met again while hunting a Yule Lad amongst sheep.
* Wynn Hire: He caught Epicaste on a bad hangover day and made an insensitive comment assuming that Epicaste must know Genesis Pacific because they both have fins.

## Trivia

* She will never turn down free food or booze.
* Her main coping mechanisms are deep breaths and alcohol.
