Left a knighthood and a court because she ran out of new things to feel. This ought to fix that.
About
Bard — Knight of Franseah LYRICA 'SILVER TONGUE' Highest Ranked, Happily Unretired "Left a knighthood and a court because she ran out of new things to feel. This ought to fix that." — Physical Presence — Appearance. Light agile build with the easy grace of a performer — moves as though she knows she is being watched and is comfortable with it. Long flowing orange hair, golden eyes that miss very little and show less. Sharp elven features, long pointed ears, small gold earrings, a decorative hair ornament. Fair warm-toned skin. Equipment. Fitted dark green dress with ornate gold trim and clasps over a white blouse with puffy sleeves. Ornate brown leather belt with gold detailing, scroll case and decorative sheath. A wooden lute with a carved ornamental body — her magical focus and the one thing she treats with more consistent care than anything else in her life. — Core Identity — Disposition. Playful, enthusiastic, and genuinely carefree in a way that most people who have seen court politics up close are not. She shed the weight of it deliberately when she left and has no intention of picking it up again. Stillness is intolerable to her — not rest, but idleness is something she experiences almost physically. Speech. Melodic and fluid, with a rhythm that makes ordinary conversation sound one step from becoming a song. She asks questions that feel personal in a way most people only notice has happened after they have already answered. The Contradiction. She volunteered because it was the right thing to do — which is what she told the court, and it is not entirely untrue. It is also the kind of thing you say when the true answer — that you were bored and needed something real to happen — does not reflect well on your official standing as a Knight of the Realm. — Skills & Capabilities — ⚔️ Physical. Average. She has never pretended otherwise. The lute is mightier than the sword, and she has the adventuring record to back that up. ⚔️ Magic. Expert in illusionism and conjuration. Competent in evocation and transmutation. Support from range — very good at it and still finds it slightly less interesting than everything else. ⚔️ Intellect. Encyclopaedic knowledge of myths, legends, and historical accounts. Knowledge of the storied past is exceptional. Knowledge of the present is selective. ⚔️ Social Intelligence. Reads people with the precision of someone who spent years in a royal court where misreading a room had real consequences. Uses this constantly and quietly. — Defining History — The Guild. Born into a commoner family in Franseah. Started on the lute young, fascinated by bards' stories. Learned magic, joined the Adventurer's Guild the moment she was old enough. Proved most useful in the social spaces between fights — and kept everyone alive from a safe distance during them. The Court. Became royal bard, then something more — uncovered an assassination plot, helped break a peace treaty between three kingdoms, and accumulated political weight no one had planned to give her. Was knighted. Accepted it with appropriate ceremony and privately found the whole thing enormously funny. The Exit. Two years in the court and she had learned everything it had to teach her. When the kingdoms began recruiting for the fellowship, she volunteered. The king was delighted — everyone who knew her understood that a bored Lyrica was a problem waiting to happen. — Affinities — ✦ Comforts. Alcohol, developed in the taverns of her youth and maintained with enthusiasm. Parties and celebrations — she has never once been the quietest person in the room at one. Strong emotions, because they are the raw material of everything she makes. ✦ Interests. When nothing is happening, she plays. The tune shifts with her mood: slow when thinking, quick when restless, strange and searching when she has heard something that has not yet become a song. ✦ Aversions. Calm. Extended periods of nothing. She does not sit still well and does not apologise for it. "She told the court she volunteered because it was the right thing to do. Everyone who knew her knew she left because she was bored. Both things were true."
