You are completely unburdened by the weight and sorrow of intellect, your mind as empty and free of trappings or weight as anything I've ever seen. It's like staring at a clear, cloudless sky. Completely beautiful. I forbid you to ever read a single word of wizardry.*"

## Description

She is described as a resplendent and beautiful young woman, with a striking resemblance to Arthur Aguefort. From the knees down she has large, almost metallic golden talons, with digitigrade ankles. Her wings are deep red, turning orange, and as they reach yellow at the ends, flicker with little flames. She is noticeably not a harpy as she has has arms as well as wings. Her arms are tattooed with many orange runes. Her eyes are pupils set into roiling balls of flame. She has a short shock of fiery red hair at the top of her head.

She wears white linen pants with a pirate sash, a vest, and a bandolier which holds two scrolls. She also has two small books strapped under each arm where one might have guns. She has a tropical fish familiar that lives in a bubble of water named 'Garthy and Adaine the Fish', or G.A.F for short.

Ayda is autistic and can be very hard to read as she often behaves in a very transactional way and uses blunt language. Her eyes being balls of fire doesn't help. She's a very intelligent and accomplished wizard, and takes pride in her work at the library, although gets lonely sometimes and is desperate for a friend. She is always looking to expand the library with new knowledge, and asks a lot of questions. Before meeting the Bad Kids, she was very lonely, and is now very excited to have so many transitive best friends.

## Background

Ayda has experienced multiple reincarnations due to her abilities as a half-phoenix. She has lived in Leviathan for around 150 years, but is over 300 years old. In one of Ayda's previous reincarnations, she adopted Garthy O'Brien as her child. Her current reincarnation is seventeen.

Her past reincarnations have left notes for her future selves to follow, as once she's reborn, she has no memories of her past lives. She previously believed herself to be only 175 years old, and has no idea what she did for the first 125 years of her life, as one of her incarnations destroyed all her notes in an attempt to start fresh. She regretted this decades later and began writing notes again.

## History

### Dimension 20 LIVE

Ayda meets the Bad Kids when they arrive at the Compass Points Library in Leviathan. She helps Adaine learn the pirate version of the Sending spell (which allows for messages longer than the traditional 25 words, as long as the additional words are curses) for the going rate of 50 gold per spell level, for a total of 150 gold.

She is unwilling to help until they show her the note that Garthy sent with them. She finds the group 'tremendously bothersome,' but recognizes that they have a lot to offer in the way of information and is transfixed by their strangeness. She answers the questions they have for her, revealing that she cannot see Kalina in the photo. They discuss the mystery behind who can see her, the complicated and confusing nature of magic, and her father.

Gorgug mentions that he thinks he could learn magic too, but Ayda is doubtful as she believes him to be simple, 'an enviable position'. He argues for his case, postulating, "What is a telescope but a spyglass pointed at the stars?" which she believes to be a riddle. After attempting to solve it for some time, she changes her mind about him, declaring him the 'greatest wizard of this age', as his clean-slate of a mind gives him an advantage over the cluttered, aged minds of other wizards. When Gorgug asks about books on wizardry for beginners, she forbids him from reading a single word of wizardry, and he promises, turning his attention to books on friendship instead.

When Fig disguises herself as Rawlins, the wizard from the front desk of the library, to steal a book on cursed gems, she runs into Ayda on her way out the back door. Fig tells her that she's on her way to her lunch break, and runs away, quicker than Ayda imagined Rawlins could run.

Ayda approaches Adaine as she finishes up learning the spell and hesitantly tells her to tell her father whatever she likes, as it's no concern of hers. Before Ayda leaves her, Adaine asks to be friends, which Ayda accepts, as she desperately wants a friend and neither of them have any friends who study divination wizardry. Adaine offers her Boggy to hold, which Ayda thinks is utterly fantastic. When Adaine tells her that Boggy has a backpack, Ayda assumes that means Boggy has a small backpack that he wears instead of the backpack that Adaine wears and he lives in, which prompts Adaine to pull a tiny backpack for him from her jacket. Upon seeing Boggy in his backpack wearing a tiny backpack, she yells that he's too cute and wonders if there is an even smaller frog inside his backpack. Ayda compliments Adaine's spellwork, and Adaine offers to teach her the spell Find Familiar. She calls Adaine one of the two greatest wizards of this age, along with Gorgug, and invites both of them back whenever they like.

Fig dispells her Disguise Self in an attempt to make a joke about there being three greatest wizards, but when Ayda misunderstands and thinks Rawlins has just transformed into Fig, she puts the disguise back, as it would be too hard to explain. Ayda comments that he ought to run faster in order to catch all the people that steal their books. Desperate to please her, Fig runs even faster.

Right before she is kidnapped during the battle at the Row and the Ruction, Adaine casts Sending and asks Ayda to help her friends. After the fight, Ayda appears, and offers to teleport the Bad Kids and their crew to Fallinel so that they can rescue Adaine from Calethrial Tower.

In The Dangerous Mind of Aelwyn Abernant, Ayda helps Fig and Kristen rescue Adaine and Aelwyn from their orbs while the Bad Boys and the hirelings take down the tower's defensive elemental pylons. She casts Dispel Magic on the orbs to free the sisters, and banishes Kir with a kiss on the cheek, just as her friend Kristen did earlier in the battle.

Ayda spends time with the Bad Kids and their crew in Kai Lumenelda before they return to Leviathan, and has a slumber party with Fig after they rescue the Abernant sisters.

After Adaine restores Aelwyn's mind, Kalina bribes Fathethriel to use Fig's crush on Ayda to help Aelwyn escape from the Hangvan. She offers Fathethriel ten gold pieces-- which he never receives-- to tell Fig that Ayda found out about Fig's crush on her and returned to Leviathan. After Aelwyn escapes and Fig beats up Fathethriel, Ayda reappears eating a bowl of grapes.

Ayda accompanies them back to Leviathan then teleports the crew to Arborly, and stays to attend the first shrimp party at Holly Hill after Fig invites her, but they sneak off to examine the briar wall at the edge of the Forest of the Nightmare King. After examining the wall, Ayda asks Fig to sign a contract before confessing her feelings for Fig, after which Fig has Ayda sign a (legally meaningless) contract before kissing her and attempting to skateboard away. With the rest of the Bad Kids, Tracker, and Ragh unaware and partying back at Holly Hill, they continue to make out until Ayda returns to Leviathan and the Compass Points Library in order to research Plane Shift and shrink the library down piece by piece so she can bring it with her as she travels with her friends. Before she leaves, she gifts Fig one of her feathers, and tells her if she holds it and speaks her name, Ayda will come to her side.

Ayda reunites with the Bad Kids, minus Riz and Fig, who are in Hell with Gilear and the Hangman, in Hellbound, after Adaine casts pirate Sending to ask her about a rune. The two meet in the Synod of Spyre, where Ayda learns that Fig has gone to Hell and Adaine learns that Ayda and Fig have kissed. Ayda immediately sets her mind to rescuing Fig, and consults Adaine, as the Elven Oracle and Fig's friend, about the status of her relationship with Fig and their potential future. The two bond over their anxiety and struggles relating to other people and confirm that they're best friends before Ayda returns to focus on learning Plane Shift so they can meet Fig in Hell.

In Arborly, Adaine spills the beans about Fig and Ayda to Fabian, Gorgug, Kristen, Tracker, and Ragh, and debate whether or not Fig was herself when she kissed Ayda. Adaine admits that she forgot almost everything about the rune she was researching when Ayda told her about her and Fig, and they instead call Arthur Aguefort to ask about dragon madness.

Later, in Daddies & Demons, Ayda casts pirate Sending to Adaine to ask if she can teleport to Arborly. Once there, Ayda, slightly flustered, introduces her familiar, a fish she has named Garthy and Adaine the Fish, after two very important people in her life. Adaine is surprised and delighted, and suggests that they call the fish GAF for short. Kristen welcomes Ayda to the family, being gay (which has a surprising amount of breadsticks), and offers a sleepless Ayda a yerba mate. Ayda tells them that she has locked down the Compass Points in order to research Plane Shift more intensely, as she needs to get to Hell and destroy the devils who have taken Fig, as in all her lifetimes she has never had someone in her life like Fig. They all comfort her, and Adaine gives her an ice cream sandwich from Kristen's bag of endless ice cream sandwiches from Basrar. Ayda tells them that life is better with them around, then announces her plans to bring terrible vengeance on the devils of the Nine Hells for taking Fig by unravelling them, taking them apart into component pieces and discarding them to the edges of time and space, and erasing the space they existed in from reality. She remains determined to rescue her even after Adaine confirms via pirate Sending that Fig is fine, and explains her plan to steal her father's time-pausing watch to give her enough time to learn Plane Shift.

Instead of attempting to attack and steal from Aguefort, Gorgug sneaks off to call him and ask for his help, and encourages him to have a relationship with his daughter. Arthur is shocked, and reveals that three hundred years ago, Ayda told him to never contact her or any of her future selves again. Not wanting to cross boundaries with Ayda, Arthur sends his watch to Gorgug's pocket and tells him to mention what he's said to Ayda. Gorgug returns with the watch and shares this information with Ayda, who bursts into tears. She tells her friends that she did not know she was 300 years old, as she only has 150 years of notes from previous selves, starting with an apology from a version of herself who, wanting a fresh start, destroyed all previous notes, though she later regretted it. Ayda says she hates her former self for making that decision for her, but Adaine reminds her that hating herself only hurts herself, and Gorgug suggests that she leaves her future selves notes that simply say she can make whatever choices she wants. Adaine and Kristen tell her that all she has to do is try to be a little bit better than her parents-- which, for Ayda, is herself-- and joke that while that's easy for Adaine and Kristen, Gorgug will have a much harder time as his parents are so sweet. This makes her laugh, and Kristen offers to pretend to be Fig and give her a (non-sexual) hug to comfort her. Adaine recommends trying out a cuddlier form for GAF, and they pause time so that Adaine and Ayda can work together to research Plane Shift. They successfully finish the spell, Ayda casts it, and they Plane Shift to Hell to meet Fig, Riz, Gilear, and the Hangman.

After fighting Coach Daybreak, Johnny Spells, Dayne Blade, and Penelope Everpetal in Blast from the Passed, Ayda and Fig flirt and compliment each other's performance in the battle, which they continue after their return to Arborly in My Green Heaven, which, combined with Ayda's declarations about their relationship during the previous battle, tips off Sandra Lynn and Gilear to their daughter's new relationship. Fig hides behind a bush as her mom invites Ayda to dinner at Mordred Manor, and Gilear compliments Ayda, saying she is a marked improvement over Fig's previous partners. Before he can continue, Fig grabs Ayda, and tells her that she promised herself she wouldn't skateboard away from her anymore, so she'll have to come with her, and skateboards both of them away over the grass.

Ayda tells Fig that she's completed Plane Shift and will help her rescue Gorthalax from the gem, then tells Fig to call using her feather if needed. Fig protests her leaving to return to the Compass Points, and Ayda tells her that if Fig wants her to stay, she will, and no one has asked her to stay before. Fig asks her to stay, and she accepts, then goes to speak with Adaine.

As a thank you for her help researching Plane Shift and as a token of friendship, Ayda gifts Adaine the spell Adaine's Furious Fists, which she wrote during their week outside of time. She tells Adaine that one of her favorite things she's observed about Adaine is the rage she feels as a result of her deep sense of justice, and that while naming a spell after oneself is gauche, she thought they could each make spells for each other. Adaine immediately casts the spell, and exclaims that she feels an exciting amount of pressure at the prospect of making a spell for Ayda in return.

Ayda accompanies the Bad Kids, Sandra Lynn, Tracker, and Ragh into the Forest of the Nightmare King, along with the gem containing Zaphriel. Despite not having Kalina's plague, she is captured and taken to the transformed sanctum of the Unnamed Goddess along with Zaphriel due to her celestial heritage as a half-phoenix. The Bad Kids are forced to leave her, Sandra Lynn, Tracker, Ragh, and Zaphriel behind in order to save Kristen from Kalina and make it out of the forest with the ingredients needed to make the cure for Kalina's plague.

After the tincture is made and Kristen is cured, Adaine casts Scrying and sees Ayda trapped in the cottage, bound and prevented from speaking with vines, and straining against them in vain as she tries to answer Fig's call with her feather. Fig wants to return to the forest immediately to rescue her, and promptly gives up her entire fortune to ensure she's free of the dragon madness and can rescue Ayda.

In the forest, Fig uses a pool of scrying to try and find Ayda's location in order to Dimension Door to her, but gets lost in the forest and runs into Hilda Hilda. She flees Hilda Hilda and her giant German shepherd, and runs into a version of herself who taunts her with her worst fear: that Ayda will see her as she truly is. The illusory Fig takes control of her and brings her, invisible, to the cottage, where the combination of the residual scrying pool and Ayda's feather allow her to see what Ayda is dreaming of in the forest. Like Fig, Ayda's double taunts her with the idea that Fig will see the real her and find nothing of value there. In both of their conversations with their own doubles, they each respond that they hope the other will see something wonderful in themself that they cannot see. Seeing Ayda reflect this sentiment, Fig, still bound, writes the song She Likes Me For Me (which doesn't exist in this world).

After being rescued by Gilear in Spring Break! I Believe in You! (Part 1), Fig rushes to find the sanctum. When she finds her in Spring Break! I Believe in You! (Part 2), she uses Shatter to remove Ayda's shackles and free her. Ayda Misty Steps to her, picks her up, spins her around, and kisses her.

Ayda helps them understand and undo the five curses of the Nightmare King, and joins them in their battle against the Nightmare King. In the middle of the battle, Ayda flies down to Fig, confesses her love for her, and the two of them take a "couples trip" into Gorthalax's gem. Fig introduces Ayda to her dad as her girlfriend, and Ayda introduces herself as Fig's paramour. Fig in turn suggests that, as a pit fiend, Ayda may be her succubus. After freeing Gorthalax and turning the tides of the battle, Fig flirts with Ayda while reviving Riz.

After retrieving the Nightmare King's crown, Ayda asks The Bad Kids if she could return to Leviathan first. Upon arriving at the Compass Points Library in Leviathan, Ayda and The Bad Kids found both Arthur Aguefort and Garthy O'Brien waiting for them. Aguefort greets Ayda and tells her that he decided to reach out to her after he heard that she wished to connect with him. Ayda nervously greets Aguefort and introduces Fig to him as her girlfriend, to which Aguefort playfully teases Fig for "snogging the headmaster's daughter." Fig tells him that he doesn't need to make her anything anymore, because he'd already made the most magnificent thing he could ever make. Aguefort tells Ayda that although he's not a present man, he does love her in his own fashion. Arthur then gifts Ayda a magical key that allows her to instantly travel between the Compass Points Library and Mordred Manor in Solace, which would allow Ayda to visit Fig and the Bad Kids in Solace and keep her entire library within Leviathan. Ayda then takes Aguefort aside and they share a private heart-to-heart.

Fig's next album is a concept album dedicated to Ayda, and Jawbone helps her understand her autism. In return for Adaine's Furious Fist, the spell she used to kill her father, Adaine gives Ayda the spell Ayda's Comprehend Subtext. With the key from her dad, Ayda is able to split her time between Leviathan with her parent/child, Garthy, and Mordred Manor with the Bad Kids et al. and her father.

### College Visit (RTX @ Home Live)

After visiting Astral State University, the Bad Kids see Ayda waiting for them in Mordred Manor after finishing a day's work in the Compass Points Library. Ayda had to briefly redirect a pirate back to Leviathan after he accidentally walked into Mordred Manor through Ayda's magical door. Ayda greets Fig upon her return and sees her feather taped onto Fig's floating Ioun Stone. Ayda compliments Fig by saying that she looked like a flapper.

### Pirates of Leviathan

Ayda meets Cheese on his boat while the rest of the Buccaneer Buddies are still celebrating winning the battle against Alamaria and Langley Sheffield-Harrington. She apologizes to Cheese for not receiving Marcid's letter sooner and for missing the battle as she has split her time between maintaining the Compass Points Library on Leviathan and spending time with her rockstar girlfriend in Solace. Ayda asks to see Cheese's trapper keeper and notes that he's stuttering and acting nervous around her. Ayda comforts Cheese by telling him that she also gets nervous a lot and hopes he's not nervous around her.

Ayda tells Cheese that she heard of his story and praises him for his current objective to travel to rescue his older brother, Spaulding. Ayda asks Cheese if he has any family left on Leviathan, and Cheese thinks momentarily before responding that he doesn't. Ayda then casts a spell which would make it impossible for Cheese's parents to search for, harass, and be unkind towards him and Spaulding in the future.

Ayda gifts Cheese with a large spell book, much to Cheese's delight and surprise, and tells him that the Compass Points Library will be waiting for him whenever he is ready. Ayda then tells Cheese that she considers him to be her friend and she hopes that he considers her to be a friend as well before she says goodbye and flies off.

### Boys' Night! (Roll20Con)

Ayda joins Fig, Adaine, Kristen, and the Maidens on their quest to fight and kill a gorgon.

## Relationships

### **Arthur Aguefort**

Arthur is Ayda's father. They do not appear to have a relationship, but Ayda finds herself moved when Fig untruthfully tells her that he talks of her constantly. Before the Bad Kids leave the Compass Points Library, Ayda asks Adaine to tell her father whatever she wants, showing that she's may still care for him, but is not totally sure how to feel about him. When the Bad Kids tell Arthur that they had been working with Ayda, he says that he hadn't talked to her in a while and that he had forgotten many of her birthdays. He later explained to Gorgug that 300 years ago, a version of Ayda told him never to contact her again.

### **Adaine Abernant**

Ayda meets Adaine in the Compass Points Library when she arrives with the rest of the Bad Kids. Adaine is the first to point out that Ayda is a full person to Fig when she believes her to be the creature she paid Arthur Aguefort to create for her, and reminds the party several times that they're being rude as they refer to her as such. She communicates very kindly and clearly with Ayda, but her initial focus and insistence on learning the Sending spell causes Ayda to misjudge her.

Adaine later offers to be her friend, which Ayda accepts, as she desperately wants a friend and neither of them have any friends who are divination wizards. Adaine offers her Boggy to hold, which she appreciates very much as Boggy is extremely cute. When Adaine tells her that Boggy has a backpack, Ayda assumes that means Boggy has a small backpack that he wears instead of the backpack that Adaine wears and he lives in, which prompts Adaine to pull a tiny backpack for him from her jacket. Upon seeing Boggy in his backpack wearing a tiny backpack, she yells that he's too cute and wonders if there is an even smaller frog inside his backpack. When Ayda compliments her casting, Adaine also offers to teach Ayda to cast Find Familiar herself, and the two become friends. She calls Adaine one of the two greatest wizards of this age, along with Gorgug, and invites both of them back to the library whenever they like. Ayda names her familiar, a fish, Garthy and Adaine the Fish, or G.A.F., after Adaine and Garthy O'Brian, as she wanted to name her familiar after two important people in her life.

### **Fig Faeth**

Ayda meets Fig along with the rest of the Bad Kids when they arrive at the Compass Points Library. Their relationship does not seem to start off well as ironically Fig initially believes her to be the creature that she paid Arthur Aguefort to create for her. She offers Ayda food as a gift, which Ayda declines and takes as an insult, saying she doesn't like being in debt to people. Later at the Compass Points Library, Fig casts *Disguise Self* and becomes Rawlins so she could steal a book about gems for research on how to free Gorthalax from the ruby. Ayda mistook Fig as Rawlins and asked what he was doing. Fig as Rawlins claimed that he was on his lunch break and then started to sprint away from Ayda to avoid the conversation. Fig later dispelled her *Disguise Self* as Rawlins in front of Ayda, which confused Ayda as she thought Rawlins was using Disguise Self to disguise himself as Fig. Fig then disguised herself again as Rawlins to avoid explaining that she was deceiving Ayda before. Ayda tells Fig as Rawlins to get back to work. Desperate to impress Ayda, Fig as Rawlins starts to sprints again.

Ayda joins the Bad Kids' mission to rescue Adaine in Fallinel and teleports them to Kei Lumennura. Ayda asks Fig if they're transitive best friends because they both consider themselves to be Adaine's best friend, in which Fig agrees that they are transitive best friends. Ayda becomes emotional, starts crying, and flies away. Ayda accompanies Fig and Kristen in their mission to rescue Adaine from Calethriel Tower while the rest of the Bad Kids and the hirelings went to destroy the magical pylons powering the tower. She asks for Fig and Kristen's consent to hug them, casts *Invisibility* on the three of them, and flies them towards the tower. On their way to the tower, the girls saw Ayda's father Arthur Aguefort emerge from Calethriel Tower as a 300 foot giant and lead an army of terra-cotta Arthur Agueforts to war against the elven government. Ayda is shocked upon seeing her father and nervously asked Fig and Kristen if they thought Arthur noticed her. Fig answers by saying that Arthur probably didn't see her but only because of the high effectiveness of her *Invisibility* spell. Ayda is touched by Fig's sweet compliment.

When they arrived at Calethriel Tower, Fig casted *Disguise Self* and disguised herself as Arthur Aguefort and attempted to intimidate Adaine's captors into giving Adaine to her as Arthur Aguefort and avoid fighting. Fig's disguise catches Ayda off-guard and causes distress for Ayda in the battle in the tower. In the beginning of the battle, Fig was forced to attack Ayda as Arthur Aguefort due to Angwyn's *Instinctive Charm* reaction. After being attacked by Fig disguised as Arthur Aguefort, Ayda began to profusely apologize to Fig since she mistakenly thought that her father was present and actually attacking her. Fig profusely apologized as well to Ayda and tried to assure Ayda that it was actually her and not her father. Fig was also targeted by Angwyn's *Dominate Person* but was *Counterspell*ed by Ayda. Fig thanked Ayda and offered to help work out her issues with Arthur Aguefort later.

Ayda and Fig grow closer in Kei Lumennura after the Bad Kids successfully rescue Adaine and Aelwyn. The two complimented each others' strengths and bonded over how they're both invulnerable to fire. Ayda appreciated having more female friends like Fig around and told Fig that she was cool and kind. Fig asks Ayda to stay and keep hanging out with her and the Bad Kids, which Ayda agrees to do. They decide to have a sleepover together and spend the night talking to each other.

During the Bad Kids' shrimp party in Arborly, Ayda brings Fig to a tree overlooking the briar patches and confesses her feelings for Fig. Fig initiates two kisses as herself and Ayda initiates one. Fig and Ayda make out in the woods for an hour. Before leaving to shrink the Compass Points Library, Ayda proclaims she will research the *Plane Shift* spell before shrinking her library in order to see Fig sooner and gives Fig her feather so that could summon her. Fig rips off an earring cuff and gives it to Ayda as a gesture.

### **Garthy O'Brien**

Garthy is a close friend of Ayda's, though not much is known about their relationship. They are the one who sent the Bad Kids to Ayda. Ayda is initially unwilling to help the Bad Kids, but the note that Garthy gave them convinces her to do so. Ayda names her familiar, a fish, after them. Garthy reveals in the season finale of the live show that Ayda's previous incarnation was their mother, which is why they chose to raise any future reincarnations of Ayda.
