### Bio

Bea'savak may be far from the smartest member of the Ironwood Compact, but if you're looking for a fierce friend, you will find none better than her. Bea would happily take a ballista bolt (or worse) for her fellow compact members, has done exactly so on many occasions, and plans to do so again in the future. This is most likely the only thing she has planned, as she tends to act on instinct without thought as to the consequences, a trait that sometimes aids her in the heat of battle but often gets her into trouble outside of it.

In her downtime, Bea operates the Wolfsgrove greenhouse, where she specializes in growing dangerous poisons and sometimes living babies. One such child is her daughter Phoenix, or Nix for short. Bea helps raise Nix alongside Ranag, and tries to be a good mother despite her shortcomings.

Bea's title, powers, and personality are largely interconnected with her inseparable partner Cloak, the spirit inhabiting her hood who shares her headspace. Bea considers Cloak to be her closest friend, and has devoted much of her time to uncovering the history behind the four Cloaks of Lycanthropy and the long-dead elven culture connected to them. As a result of her history and her gratitude towards Cloak for breaking her free from her previous life, she has formed an ideology based on the preservation of freedom, and often law of the jungle, favoring nature and the open woods to the closed order of civilization.

### Backstory

Bea Whitehill was born into a humble farming community in Ithmaul to a domineering family of devout worshippers of the Titan. A combination of gender dysphoria, abuse, and shyness caused her to shy away from society for most of her life, walling herself in in a quaint cottage with a large garden, where she wasted her years away in solitude, eventually losing all hope and growing to resent everything around her as part of the cage that was her incredibly orderly life. She lived as a social recluse until her 26th birthday, when her cousin came with a gift that would upset her life forever. That gift was the Bronzehide Wolfpelt, and its two inhabitants, Cloak and Friend. It is unclear why her cousin, with whom she shared a mutual hatred, gave her the cloak, but Bea assumes it was some ill-advised attempt on her life. As Bea donned the cloak, the malevolent riders took her mind and in a fury she underwent her first lycanthropic transformation, presumably destroying her home and eating her cousin in the process. For the next seven years, she lived among the beasts, hunting and terrorizing the people and beasts of Ithmaul, and reveling in her newfound freedom. Five years after the fall of the Gilgamesh's empire, Bea was found by a wandering paladin of redemption named Torm, who spared her life with a remove curse spell, and stayed by her side to educate her to the history of the much changed south. Torm also helped Bea rediscover herself, both in terms of gender and her place in the world with her wolflike nature. After two months of traveling together, the two parted ways, with Bea returning to Hopburn, only to find that her garden had been bought and paved over to build an "ugly brick mansion" where it had stood before. Realizing that she had no reason to stay in the Ithmaul where people might have recognized her as a former werewolf and with her home now gone, she decided to try to parse the last seven years and her missing memories by consulting a soothsayer, who told her she would find her answers in the east. Using the last silver coins borrowed from Torm and with a macgyvered farming scythe-turned-warpick in her hand, Bea booked passage to the east and set off for Port Vrall.

### Major connections to other Characters

Yezra Stormfriend Vaxilondrav: Bea's other closest friend, to whom she owes a life debt after her death to the draconic chain. Bea admires Yezra and her badassery, and joined her in her worship of Tempus because of it.

Ellie: Bea and Ellie are the only two Cloakbearers in the compact, as well as being close friends

Nexrin Farseeker Vaxilondrav: Bea entrusted Nexrin with her secret, and also feels partially responsible for what happened to the two of them during expedition 81. She aided him in all subsequent draconic chain-related missions. She also read to him frequently during the adventures of Nexpen.

Ranag Uln: Ranag is the other parent to Bea's child, Nix. Despite this, they share no romantic or sexual relationship. Bea has agreed to help Ranag search for the remains of Ashborn civilization.

Cloak: Bea and Cloak are inseparable, and have been together as cloak and bearer for the past eight years. Bea trusts Cloak, but they sometimes clash over how close Bea has gotten with the "civifolk."
