_Human Paladin | [[Harpers]] | [[Helm's Hold]]_
## Summary
Paladin of [[Chauntea]] who runs the [[Venturer's Rest]] tavern in [[Helm's Hold]]. Secretly a [[Harpers]] agent—helped [[Petra]] with the party's "dead dwarf problem" and delivered messages from [[Remi Haventree]] about the [[Forge of Spells]] and [[Dagult Neverember]]'s schemes. One of the voices in [[Petra]]'s head said she reminded them of "[[Eather Heilean]]," suggesting connections to [[Harper]] leadership.

## At a Glance
Statuesque woman with rich mahogany skin and a cascade of ebony curls. Eyes the color of fertile earth sparkle with warmth and hidden depths. Wears armor etched with wheat stalks, overlaid with flowing robes in autumnal hues.
Melodious, soothing voice—often hums snippets of ballads that carry coded messages for fellow [[Harpers]]. Absently traces the rim of her mug while listening intently to patrons' stories.
## Personality
Radiates motherly warmth but possesses a core of unyielding steel. Quick to offer comfort or stern rebuke as needed. Balances genuine hospitality with shrewd observation. Transformed her tavern into both a welcoming haven and a subtle hub of [[Harper]] activity.
