Wildlanders: Lavender Weatherworth

Lavender Weatherworth was originally conceived as a messenger from the nearby Commonwealth of Hamsterfield. I rolled her up after it became apparent that including Roscoe as a party NPC would potentially result in redundancy in the melee fighter "slot." However, after I rolled double-zero on the obscure "quirk" table, Lavender became a half-vampire.

As a result, Lavender's backstory became a key hook in the early campaign narrative. She was the offspring of Malkizedek, the vampire who doubled as the local uber-villain. After several modifications, I finally settled on the notion that Malkizedek had infected Lavender's mother with vampirism while Lavender was in utero, both to explain the concept of half-vampirism, and to account for how she was "sired" by Malkizedek.

Shunned by other Halflings due to her unusual nature, Lavender was quickly adopted by the Wildlanders, to whom she became fanatically loyal. In particular, Lavender seldom strays far from Thrym, with whom she occasionally teams up to form the adventurous duo known as "The Uncanny Dodgers." Owing to various stat buffs and unusual powers related to her quirk, Lavender became an extraordinarily powerful NPC. Rare was the trap that she couldn't bypass, and her stealth abilities knew few nonmagical equals.

Here's a picture of Lavender that I drew before the first campaign session. The notes on top refer to features of the Zerith Menyar Ag-Gith's Tower of Tests, including the whirling orrery and the Abyssal Dragon-Mirror.
