[rush99999]

Miss Light

Name: Miss Light
Age: 23 years and 3 months
Race: Half-Elf
Class: Hexblade Warlock
Level: 1
Background: Entertainer
Personality: See persona section of the linked character sheet.

Backstory: (Note: I had a much more detailed backstory for Miss Light almost done, but then I lost it in a computer crash. I may type up the more detailed version again once the wave of crushing despair born from its loss has passed. Until then though, I'm just gonna sum it up in bullet points.)

• Miss Light was initially called Marian Lovelace.

• Every member of Marian's family aside from her mother, Mariah, hated Marian because Marian was born out of wedlock. Since the Lovelace family are favored servants of the Ruling Family, scandal like that is not a thing they enjoy.

• Life generally sucked for Marian until she found Arkerym, a Hexblade longsword and loyal servant of the Raven Queen.

• Arkerym revealed to Marian that her father was in fact Mister Light, who fell in love with Marian's mother the last time the Witchlight Carnival was in Valerith before fun was banned.

• Arkerym then offered Marian a deal: Arkerym helps Marian escape her mean relatives, find her father, and rescue her mother from the aforementioned mean relatives. In return, Marian becomes Arkerym's warlock and serves the Raven Queen.

• Marian took the deal, gained warlock powers, gained clown powers, escaped, changed her name to Miss Light, and was guided by Arkerym to a place where the Witchlight Carnival has just flown into town.

'Let the games begin.'

Personality

Personality Traits:
"I am wholly serene, even in the very face of mischance."
"I speak an antiquate kind of the Common tongue, long since fall’n out of common use."

Ideal:
"Aspiration: I strive to show my self worthy of the Raven Queen’s favour by squaring my deeds against her doctrines."

Bonds:
"Had I a heart, there should be a special room therein for such as are alone."
"Marian Lovelace — or Mistress Light, as now she stileth her self — is my latest warlock. A worthy servitrix she is... unlike her father."

Flaw:
"I take great delight in the keeping of secrets, and will not utter the least trifling particular save I be driven unto it."

Backstory: In the Shadowfell, at the furthest reaches of the Raven Queen's demesne, lies the Empty Colony. It is named as such because in spite of its sturdy walls, cozy houses, and well maintained streets, nobody lives here. The only occasional exception being when a single instance of the Lonely, a creature of the Shadowfell born from intense yearnings for companionship, wanders in from the wilderness. But even this is short lived, as another of the Lonely tends to arrive soon after, leading the two of them to accidentally kill each other in their obsessive desire for company.

It is in this deserted place that a Hexblade by the name of Arkerym makes his lair, though not by choice. In ages past, Arkerym was banished to the Empty Colony by the Raven Queen in the wake of a grievous failure on the Hexblade's part. For many years he languished there in utter isolation. With no one to interact with save the rare and fleeting encounter with one of the simple minded Lonely. And nothing to do save ruminate on his failure. But after many years of both the former and the latter, Arkerym experienced an epiphany. What that epiphany was is counted among one of the many secrets the Hexblade delights in keeping, but it's discovery led to the Raven Queen relaxing the terms of Arkerym's banishment. Once again, the Hexblade was permitted to form pacts with mortals and serve as their warlock patron.

Wishing to bring relief to those who suffered as he had, Arkerym almost exclusively took mortals who found themselves alone in the world as his warlocks. One of these mortals eventually being a half-elf by the name of Marian Lovelace. Or, as she renamed herself soon after, Miss Light.
