A reserved and bookish elf cleric from [[Baldur's Gate]], she serves as both mediator and caregiver for her adventuring companions, always ready to heal their wounds—both physical and emotional. Despite her self-doubt and natural timidity, she possesses a fierce protective instinct that emerges when innocent lives are threatened, revealing surprising depths of power and determination.
