![[SpiteNewPic.png]] # Spite Draeven _Tiefling Bard | [[Maidens of Misfortune]] | [[Grand Dame]]_ ## Summary Tiefling bard abandoned by [[Neverwinter]]'s Musical Conservatory for her supernatural ability to cause misfortune through music. Served as [[Beregond]]'s muse and performed as "Vexandra Nightfall" at the [[Grand Dame]] casino. One of the few [[Doombringers]] captured alive during the battle at the [[Fool's Fortune]]—taken prisoner by the heroes for interrogation. %% ## At a Glance Tall tiefling woman with violet skin that shimmers in casino lights. Black curling horns adorned with silver chains frame a face dominated by amber eyes that flicker like dying candle flames. Dancer-like movements. Voice like honey over broken glass. Can see fortune's threads connecting people—severs them with enchanted obsidian scissors disguised as a hairpin. ## Personality Darkly playful. Manipulative. Artistically cruel. Born during a rare blood moon, her uncanny ability to cause misfortune simply by humming got her cast out of the conservatory after a performance collapsed part of the concert hall ceiling. ## Quote _"Fortune is such a fragile thing, don't you agree? Like fine crystal—beautiful to behold until the moment it shatters in your hands."_ ## Stats **Custom (CR 8):** AC 15, HP 112.
