Name: Vaelyn Silverstride
Ancestry: Human
Heritage: Aiuvarin (Half-Elf)
Class: Bard
Subclass: Multifarious Muse (Maestro / Enigma)

Personality:

An exiled musical prodigy, Vaelyn is consumed by her love of music and need to create a great work of art. She lives to entertain others, to delight them with her music, and to share the manifold emotions that she can summon. Enthralled by her senses, she seeks pleasure in doses both large and small, leading her at times to stumble into the realm of hedonism. Supremely dedicated to creating and performing music, Vaelyn is inordinately lazy in most other contexts, abhorring physical labor, and channeling the unwavering laziness of a domesticated cat.

There is something enthralling about the young half-elf, a delicately cultivated allure, an effortless magnetism, that she wields like an assassin's dagger. Vaelyn radiates warmth, appearing candid, so very kind, leaving her conversational partners basking in the afterglow of small joys, and a pleasing interaction. Any ideas, any notions to the contrary are quickly swept aside in the whirlwind of additional performance. Vaelyn carries herself with effortless confidence, believing so much in herself and in her talent, that she is convinced that no matter what she will survive to compose a work to remember.

Obsessive in all matters related to her craft, Vaelyn possesses a fiery temper kept in check by her privileged upbringing. Prideful to a reasonable measure, especially concerning her musical performances, Vaelyn can be vain, prideful, and spiteful even, when given cause to find offense. For all her charm and social graces, Vaelyn keeps others at a safe distance, always remaining wary of encountering unwelcome reminders of her past. Behind the mask of her artistic persona, she is reluctant to allow anyone to become acquainted with her true self or to share any deeper moments of intimacy. Buried beneath many layers and more stories, are the faintest traces of a noble upbringing and a life far different from that of an adventuring bard.

Appearance:

A figure painted with delicate brushstrokes, Vaelyn has a graceful, slender physique. She plays subtle notes with her appearance, weaving a visual orchestra that blossoms into a beautiful symphony. Swathed in layers of fabric, her fair skin bears few marks, and is spoiled only by the temporary exposure to the grime familiar to any traveler. Touched by the blood of her elven ancestors, Vaelyn has pointed ears and fine features that easily mark her as a half-elf. Her eyes are pools of pale violet, bright mirrors that shine with determination, and an inescapable flash of merriment. Her dark brown hair, falls in long cascades, and she keeps her tresses pinned in elaborate buns using extravagant hairpins.

A fashionable dresser in all but the most dire of circumstances, Vaelyn dresses to impress, maintaining or creating an impressive collection of outfits well-suited for performance. Beyond the stage, Vaelyn dons traveling clothes, that while functional, are bold choices that most seasoned adventurers would judge far too fine for the wilderness. Too discover Vaelyn without an elegant gown, matching jewelry, and a tasteful amount of makeup is to discover Vaelyn in distress.
