**Zee Marigold Silvermoss** is a fairy barbarian and member of the Victims of Circumstance. Despite her small stature, Zee is both hardy and powerful. Her special connection with the amethyst dragon Zelzrys has infused her with dragon-like powers and traits, making her stronger and more durable than the average fairy. Despite a traumatic childhood that closed her off to others, she has made great strides in trusting others and finding purpose.

## Biography

### Backstory

Although most fairies are born in the Feywild, Zee was instead born in the Shadowfell. The details of her childhood are vague and unclear, but she spent the majority of her early years within boundaries of the Circus of Misery. The ringleader of the carnival — Isolde — intended to keep her there indefinitely, referring to her only as "Fairy," and would have succeeded if not for the dragon Zelzrys.

Zelzrys and Zee's friendship developed of its own accord. Although both feared what Isolde was capable of, they grew fond of one another and developed a father-daughter dynamic. When Isolde made lies and threats to keep them apart, Zelzrys risked his freedom and survival to help Zee escape from the Shadowfell.

After Zelzrys managed to transport Zee to the Material Plane, Zee vowed to find Zelzrys again and free him from Isolde's grasp. She spent several years wandering the land of Thera as a young teenager, aimless and unguided, until hearing about an event called the Witchlight Carnival.

Zee learned that the carnival was led by two shadar-kai elves — a race native to the Shadowfell — and decided to investigate. She was later caught by one of the owners — Mr. Witch — and told that her intrusion could have serious consequences. To spare her, he offered her a job.

Zee accepted the proposal and spent the next four years working at the carnival. She remained closed-off and suspicious of Mr. Witch and Mr. Light for most of her time there, but as the years passed and she learned nothing new about the Shadowfell, she grew accustomed to her new life and role.

## Description

### Appearance

Zee has the basic anatomy and appearance of a fairy, although her coloration is somewhat unique. Most fairies have diverse appearances, features, and traits, but Zee spent most of her life devoid of any color at all. Her hair is a pale gray color — as if bleached or drained of its original hue — and her skin is nearly as colorless. Her eyes were once a dull blue, almost gray color, and her wings were originally black and white.

After a near-death experience in Prismeer, the soul of Zelzrys altered some of Zee's features. Her left eye turned purple and narrowed to a dragon's slit pupil. Her wings became an amethyst purple where they had once been white. Two amethyst horns appeared on her head and, when in the Dragon State, amethyst scales sometimes cover her arms, legs, or face. On occasion, she can even manifest a purple dragon tail.

### Personality

Zee is often quiet and sullen. She is slow to trust others and keeps her secrets close. Those who have only known her briefly or who aren't able to earn her trust often see her as grumpy, standoffish, and unapproachable.

To those she trusts, however, she is surprisingly emotional and empathetic. She is fiercely loyal — sometimes to a fault — and will do anything for those she calls friends. She has a hard time asking for help and an even harder time admitting her fears, but her time spent with the Victims of Circumstance and her reunion with her grandmother Zybilna has helped her grow into a happier, more trusting individual.

## Abilities

Zee is a Fairy Path of the Beast Barbarian. Her primary weapons are her Keyblade (a magical handaxe) and her Form of the Beast natural weapons (claws, teeth, and a tail). Her "rage" feature is referred to as the Dragon State, as she often appears more feral and dragon-like in this form.

As a fairy, Zee can fly; she is the only one of the Victims of Circumstance to be able to do so without magic. She is also the only martial class in the group, and can only cast the spells Druidcraft, Faerie Fire, and Enlarge/Reduce. Zelzrys' influence has gifted her the ability to manifest a pair of dragon claws, an amethyst-tipped tail, or a set of sharpened dragon fangs while in the Dragon State.
