Lady Vironia

**Lady Vironia** is a high class centaur artificer from Spire City.

## Description

### Appearance

Lady Vironia is rather petite, especially when compared to the centaurs of the Khanate. Her equine half most closely resembles a Lipizzaner breed, with thin legs and grey-white hair. Due to a congenital defect, which she inherited from her mother, Vironia’s hind legs are not properly developed. Thankfully, Vironia has become an expert in engineering prothstetics, and has made up for her condition with a pair of carbon fiber limbs.

She has pale skin and silvery blonde hair which is slightly darker at the roots. Her face is both angular and soft, coupling a strong jawline with delicate, rounded cheeks. Partially due to how naturally pale she is, Vironia often accents her face with makeup to give it more color and definition. Her cheeks and nose are usually touched with a bit of blush, and her heart shaped lips are painted pink. Her eyes, which are a dark olive green, are usually shaded with brown eyeshadow.

Vironia’s clothing mixes fashion and practicality, as is necessary for a lady of her station and career path. She often wears jackets and frock coats in an Edwardian style, along with matching cravats, hats, and gloves.

### Personality

Lady Vironia is a talented, albeit eccentric, young woman. She is incredibly clever and has a knack for problem solving. When she finds a project that she is passionate about, she will pursue it with all her heart, and has to see it through to a satisfactory conclusion. Unless, of course, something else catches her attention, in which case she may end up with piles of half-finished projects.

When not working, Lady Vironia enjoys socializing. Despite her eccentricity, she finds it fairly easy to talk to people, and enjoys when she can engage others in riveting conversations.

## Biography

### Family

Vironia’s mother was born in the Amber Steppe as part of the centaur khanate. From birth her hind legs were underdeveloped, a condition that she would later share with her daughter. Though she was well cared for in her youth, she always felt out of place, and believed she was a burden on her clan. So, once she reached her late teens, she chose to be exiled rather than be a drag on her clan. She made her way into the city, where she worked incredibly hard to make a living. Once Vironia was born, her mother worked even harder, encouraging the child to get the best possible education. Her hard work paid off as Vironia grew into a successful business woman and a pioneer in the field of fine motor prothstesis.

### New Friends

Socialite that she is, Vironia has an easy time making friends from all over. She spent time with changelings Axl and Rose, and made herself known, both as a friend and a business partner, to the Adventures Guild. And once she made a few friends, Vironia was easily able to work herself into society, making more acquaintances and connections through mutual friends. And, of course, she is always happy to keep in contact with good clients.

One day, Lady Vironia came home to find that she had guests in the form of an adventuring party that had been referred to her by Norlond. She eagerly greeted them, and instructed her Loxodon Butler Babar to put on some tea, then got to work. She immediately took notice of Cordelia, whom the party had brought to Vironia in the hopes of acquiring a decent prosthetic arm. She assured the young lady, who was quite flustered at receiving attention from nobility, that she was eager to assist, and that she would not bill her so much as a cent. After all, this was a project sent to her by the guild, so the bill aught to come out of their pocket. Once by one, Vironia chattered with the party members, showing off some of the inventions she had that she believed would be particularly suited to their needs. Berry got a ~~Pixie Artillery~~ RATAPULT! As Vironia quite enjoyed these eccentric adventurers especially Berry she offered to take them along with her to a concert being put on the next day by Perasona Jiwa.

### A Concert Gone Awry

The next day, Vironia and her friends, both new and old, met up outside the underground concert venue. From the moment the concert began, Vironia was enraptured by Perasona's song. Unfortunately, the concert was interrupted by the appearance of mind flayers, who used the allure of the singer to take over the minds of many of the audience. Thanks to the quick thinking of Rineth and Dordlo, Lady Vironia and the others were able to escape.
