![[FionaGauntylPathfinder.webp]] # Fiona Gauntyl _Half-Elf Noble | Mine Owner | [[Phandalin]]_ ## Summary Kind-hearted noblewoman from [[House Margaster]] who inherited her late husband [[Vhass Gauntyl]]'s mines after Stone Giants killed him. Unlike her family's ruthless reputation, she shows compassion, turning to [[Sildar Hallwinter]] for guidance in managing [[Phandalin]]'s instability. %% ## Now Managing her late husband's mines and [[Phandalin]]'s instability, leaning on [[Sildar Hallwinter]] for guidance. ## Appearance Delicate features softened by her elven heritage, light blonde hair, gentle eyes that notice more than they let on. Dresses in noble elegance adapted for practicality, and absently spins coins across her knuckles or catches falling objects without looking when she thinks. ## Personality Compassionate to a fault. Wants to do right by people but has no framework for the harsh realities she has inherited. Quietly stubborn when pushed — won't compromise on kindness even when it costs her. Genuinely listens when people talk. ## Quote _"True nobility lies in the strength of one's character, not in the power one wields over others."_ ## Connections **[[Vhass Gauntyl]]** — late husband, killed by Stone Giants. **[[Sildar Hallwinter]]** — turns to him for guidance. **[[Inkeri Margaster]]** — mother. **[[Alvida Margaster]]** — killed her mother. **[[Baldric]]** — her unknown father. ## Background **The Craft:** She has her father's hands, his instincts, his unconscious talent for shadows, and no idea where any of it comes from. ## Secret Her mother [[Inkeri Margaster]] had a fling with [[Baldric]]; Fiona is his daughter and knows nothing of it. Inkeri took the secret to her grave when [[Alvida Margaster]] killed her, and Fiona was married off and shipped to [[Phandalin]] to bury questions about her elven heritage. [[Baldric]] doesn't know she exists. The [[Sewn Sisters]] may not have connected her to the Heroes yet, but she's on someone's list. ## Stats **Base:** Noble (MM p.348), modified. - Half-elf traits. - Proficiency in Perception, Insight, Stealth, and Sleight of Hand. %%
