Wendla Sharien

Wendla "Wendy" Sharien is the illegitimate daughter of Genaran ambassador to Forenthia, Sir Tristan the Red. She lives and works at Sir Tristan's estate in the city of Morn Durahl.

## History

### Pre-Campaign

Wendy arrived at the estate at age thirteen and seems to resent her father for uprooting her life. Her mother has written her letters for years from their hometown of Syngorn, encouraging her to keep up with her studies and to take it easy on her father.

Tristan keeps Wendy busy with studies and work around the estate - namely in the library - but she finds ways to have fun on her own. Additionally, she has accompanied her father on visits to Valley Mist and interacted with the citizens there.

### With the Party

The party encountered Wendy a few brief times before realizing she was Tristan's daughter. She aided Geppetto in the library, the location where she typically spends her time.

When the party returned to the estate after their journey to Candlekeep, Wendy defended her father against the party's attacks. During this fight, she revealed her prowess with daggers.

Later that night, Wendy aided the party in their library research before everyone headed to bed. Aleria reached out to befriend her by "sneaking" into her room and leaving her a carved bear totem. In the night, Wendy was kidnapped from her room and rescued by the party. Upset and in shock, Wendy argued with Aleria, calling her names and stirring the pot. The fight escalated when her father arrived, and he attacked Karmai with a fire bolt. Offended and upset, Aleria insulted Tristan and suggested they leave, but Karmai deescalated the situation.

Wendy retreated to the safety of her bedroom following the encounter. She did not answer the door until Geppetto convinced her to lend him her Hat of Disguise in exchange for his dungeoneer’s pack as collateral. As he walked away from the room, Geppetto made a quip about Wendy’s mother, which she threateningly urged him to repeat. He backtracked, and she slammed the door on him.

Geppetto instructed his homunculus condor to locate Wendy when he was in the Dragon’s Ash district of Morn Durahl. The condor tracked her down to a cobbler’s shop, which turned out to be a front for some kind of criminal activity. While the party did not locate Wendy at the shop, it seemed like the human man who guarded the door recognized her name but didn’t give her up. Geppetto also learned from his old friend Cobalt that Wendy was a notorious thief and conman in the area, often using her Hat of Disguise to hide in plain sight as a dwarf man.

The party has not seen Wendy since her tense conversation with Geppetto, but they investigated her room to find many letters from her mother, dating back six years. The party stole the letters, leaving a threatening note to the “cobblers” in their place.

## Appearance and Personality

Wendy is a half-elf in her late teens with dark red hair and brown eyes. She wears formal (but practical) clothes and keeps her hair in decorative braids around company.

Wendy is a no-nonsense girl, preferring the silence of a library to her father's life of public appearances. She quickly jumped into battle to defend her father, a brief break in the aloofness she typically carries about her.

Wendy does not seem to inherit her father's slow temper. When threatened, she will lash out, attacking Geppetto and insulting Aleria under pressure.

Laurel, an apothecary in Valley Mist, noted that Wendy has always been kind on her visits to the village, a surprising opposite to her growing animosity toward the party.
