## Physical Appearance

Lotes is a 4'10 female Aarakocra with feather coloration and patters similar to a Rock Dove (common pigeon). Her hair is a grey that fades into a seafoam green. For reasons unknown Lotes' face lacks the bird-like features of a usual Aarakocra (i.e. beak,) instead appearing more humanoid. Her outfits usually consists of a light grey shirt, darker grey shorts, red outer shirt or robes, and a pink ribbon worn as a necklace.

## Pre-Campaign Life

Lotes was born in the elemental plane of air, but she was not given a name. She grew up with her brother until an incident with children bullying her; Dolus ended up using magic to defend her, but as a result, they were both exiled from the entire plane. After arriving on the "normal" plane, Lotes and Dolus arrived near the cabin of Raden and were effectively adopted by the veteran adventurer. During her time with Raden, Lotes learned basic martial skills from training with him and basic Ki manipulation from books he had bought and names herself Lotes. Sometime during their stay, Raden gifted them both bird masks, mimicking an average Aarakocra beak. One night Raden's cabin was attacked by mysterious assailants, leading to Lotes and Dolus leaving.

## Life During Campaign

After some time, Lotes and Dolus found themselves in Raesti, in hopes to escape the Stonekeeper Empire on a boat at behest of an individual the night before. They inquire information about a vessel and find "The Fog Slip" aka "The Gem of the Horizon" where they meet Twink, Socrates, Kiran, and the captain, Harmon, who Twink convinced to allow the "birds" on their ship. After an encounter with Atranon and his half brother Archibald being given to the party for protection, Lotes got a chance to meet the Orc chef of the ship, Wok, and the ship's first mate, Egold. The potbellied Orc revealed that he has a shared interest with spoons and the two compared their hauls. Lotes was gifted a golden spoon and the nickname "Spoon Girl." During a chance encounter against sea serpents on the first day at sea, Lotes manages to catch a bullet fired by Harmon who, for the lack of better terms, has some marbles loose.

While in Enshasla, Lotes obtains a small bear statuette made of soap, an oni mask and a copper spoon (given to her by Dolus) at a place known as Sally's. By the end of the day she joined the rest of the party on ‘The Bourdelais,’ meeting Lorelei and her crew, which Egold and Wok had officially joined. At one point afterwards Twink enchants a wooden spoon of hers to act as a 'sending spoon' which connects to a sending stone.

After the fight against Lagos, she is approached by Caelii, the air genie, who not only reveals that Dolus is keeping secrets, but also gave Lotes some sort of mysterious power. Along with this pseudo-pact, Lotes got bright green stripes on the inner side of her feathers, and marks that looked like burnt hand prints on the outside at the base of her wings. In the fight against the Basilisks, Lotes was turned to stone but was brought back thanks to Wok's salve using the creature's stomach acid.

In the library of the Midnori promenade, Lotes shows Socrates her face; afterwards he pinky-promised not to tell a single soul. After giving Twink blueprints for a musket, she obtains the prototype of a glaive that doubles a shotgun which she dubs "Kyle" (and Twink calls "Calamities Edge"). When obtaining her crystalized fate, Lotes effectively sees all the events she had been through up to then, the crystal appearing like a tiny marble. She accidentally loses her lightning spear in the meta-plane in Tiak during the fight against the Astral Shade. After the death of Socrates, she took off the bird mask revealing her human-esque face to the party.

In the Feywild town, she gives the bullet Harmon shot at her in exchange for a pocket dimension key that Twink wanted. In doing so, she also lost all memories regarding the bullet. Some time later, after their ship is turned into an airship, Lotes and Dolus learned in a dream with Arlashna that she was Harmon's patron, Caelii was Raden's patron, and how they lost against Vek'nost 70 years prior.

In the escape from the Empire camp outside of the Westwood, she, with assistance from Dolus, had to kill Cerise, one of the ship crew members, after it was revealed in a twist that she was a mole for Gillian. Once the party is safe, she threatens Alina, suspecting that she could possibly be a spy as well.

While in the Westwood, Lotes potentially heard Archibald's voice from the Eld Tree and sometime later manages to briefly communicate with him, confirming in their conversation Starlost Twink made a weapon to fight the Westwood. When the party is sent into their trials from the Stone Giant daughter of Arlashna, Lotes is made to relive the moment she and Dolus had to leave Raden's home. She found out after a loop that she had to stand her ground and fight along side him to pass the trial of choice and change. Lotes was the one to notice after the fight against Gillian, dozens of soldiers started turning into werewolves. Lotes was also the one to search for Petran, possessed by Gillian. In a moment of a dropped guard, Lotes gets Shocking Grasped unconscious by Gillian Petran. Before she dies, she is instead saved by Time and put into a state of neither death or life after Dockori asked of them to assist in the war. With Time's help, Lotes gets a message to Dolus telling him that she needs to be revived, which ends up saving her life.

After the war, while they travel to Twinktania, Lotes finds a mysterious cat during a night watch. She obtains and changes into her 2nd outfit after arriving at Twinktania, where she tries having Alina send a message to Raden which fails. When the party arrives in Eubuea, Lotes makes quick friends with Hush, the other kid in the group. On the trip to Isazvaengar, it is revealed her encounter with Gillian-Petran left her with a fear of thunder/lightning. Before Mara splits off from the party, he gives Lotes a sprig of mistletoe telling her he'll have to return to them to get it back.

Mara's death, however, causes Lotes be depressed for a week, going between the boat and the castle of Fort Dawn. As her gift from Delilah, Lotes asked if she could see Raden and learns that Starlost Lotes is currently with him. She manages to help the next day when the party attempts to bring Hush (they know) back from the dead. While the party and the small army with them rest in the caverns on the way to the Aeon Engine and the amber, Martin enters her dream. Martin reveals to her that she has already met and interacted with her biological father at somepoint. In the ambush fight, she manages to regain her Lightning Spear.
