Leora

## Leora Elly Aryguan

Leora as built in Heroforge

L0eora was a gnome handmaid to the Queen Noshishi Dol Noshi of Ornatir that died while accompanying the successor on an ambassadorial trip. While attempting to revive the successor's husband, a case of misidentified remains resulted in the reincarnation of Leora as a golden dragonborn. After such a traumatic and drastic change, Leora felt incredibly alienated from her former life. In a new body and with everything she had planned now uncertain with her new life. So she trained to become a paladin, swore an Oath of the Crown to the Ornatir Royals, and set out with the youngest heir, Princess Monana Dol'Mona, to get used to moving her new body... and moving on.

## Backstory

### Youth

Leora came from a rather humble fishing village, tasked with helping her father raise her younger sister after the disappearance of her mother. As such, Leora always longed for a more luxurious life and worked hard to make her way up the social ladder. She thrived as a domestic helper until she managed to land herself in the capital. With her sister now old enough to manage without her, Leora began to focus on her own ambition to join the royal court.

### Royal Court

Leora found companionship with a prominent guard named Coerin Osander, who would later become the head of the royal guard. As she worked her way from tending to nobility to royalty, Leora continued to send much of her earnings, along with correspondences, back home to support her family.

### Unexpected Departure

6 Months before escorting Princess Monana to Luracia, Leora had accompanied Princess Nijiji Dol Niji and her husband for an ambassadorial trip when the Thri-kreen attacked. Princess Nijiji's husband had been melted and devoured by a creature

## Campaign

A brief history of your character's major contributions to the campaign, broken down by arc, and some of their stronger character moments that defined their growth/journey. You can even include some of their thoughts about how different situations turned out that you might not have had a chance to express during the session.

### Aether Nightsong Arc

Leora is slow to warm to so many new strangers that are not like the nobility back home or else the simple folk she left behind before living a palace life. As such, her goal from the beginning was to protect Princess Monana as her personal bodyguard. That and trying not to think of how she's changed after encountering the Thri-kreen.

### Mysteries of the Mist Arc

Leora has become a bit more accustomed to this group of adventurers though it's a shame to see Edric stay behind, his replacement Elysian seems capable in combat. Though it does mean the group's face has changed to either the Princess, Eero, or herself. Leora tends to spend a lot of time trying to keep the fae out of trouble or supporting Monana. In combat, she tries to ensure the dangers are low but things are still incredibly unpredictable. This new life path she's on is so very different from the one she was used to as a gnome...

## Relationships

### Edric

An interesting and incredibly knowledgeable... character... that has all the poshness Leora had grown comfortable with in her former life yet manages to surprise her with his idiosyncrasies. If given the chance for civil conversation in a calmer, less dire setting, perhaps they could exchange pleasantries. Until then, Leora is to follow his orders as he holds the Princess's sending stone and therefore Leora's orders.

### Eero

A quiet man with more to say than he's capable of. Leora is glad he has been reunited with his loved ones. But worries he will come to regret not spending more time with them and instead choosing to risk his life for others...

### Monana

Since being reincarnated, Leora has been tasked with guarding the youngest princess on her hermitage. Leora has come to depend on Monana's wit and care. Leora will loyally obey all orders given by Monana to the best of her abilities. Leora has concerns the young princess may be getting reckless but can see her desire to help people as much as she is able.

### Yunet

Very dependable and capable in a fight. Much to admire with her transition from noble woman to fierce fighter. It would be nice to know more about her when opportunities arise. She went one on one with a giant worm that pulled her underground... and survived. One hell of a woman.

### Modokus

A quiet man with not much to say but one hell of a punch... Or several in most cases. Being hunted by a dangerous group.

### Minty

A young and carefree spirit with many quirks and somewhat fickle obsessions. Skilled with a bow. A bit cowardly, but that's not a bad trait to have. Under fellow paladin, Lykus' protection.

### Via

Like the other fae, Via also seems young and rather carefree. Though Via has been useful with her magical talents and... interesting... approaches to some problems.

### Yoko

A dangerous little gnome man... child? Living in the Underdark seems to have scrambled his wits and should be watched and firearms taken in civil lands.

### Elysian

Though Leora wants to help this strange man save his family, his recklessness and disregard for the value of his life--as well as lives of others--has put her on edge and leery of whether he can be trusted. Though Elysian is a valuable asset to their team and perhaps when his family is no longer under threat he will be easier to talk to. There has not been enough time to discuss his carelessness nor is this perhaps the time or company to be discussing it. Besides, it's not exactly her place to lecture him or his methods to saving his family.
