![[VictoriaBelabrantaPathfinder-v3.webp]] # Victoria Belabranta _Human Paladin | [[Order of the Gauntlet]] | [[Crimson Terror]]_ ## Summary [[Petra]]'s best friend, younger sister of [[Savras Belabranta|Savras]], and a paladin of [[Tyr]]. She led a rescue mission to save her brother from [[Haayon]]'s cult, got her companions captured instead, and was held at [[Stormwatch Spire]] until the heroes came for them. She has stayed with the party since, by her own choice. ## Now Aboard the [[Crimson Terror]] by her own request. She sat with [[Petra]] at [[Kelvin's Comfort]], said she was relieved Petra had survived, checked in on her, and asked to stay with the party — she is enjoying the adventuring and does not want to go home and tell her parents her brother is in a cult. She connected [[Lynne]]'s mother to the [[Sewn Sisters]] and knows Lynne and Petra share [[Heroes of Waterdeep]] parentage (S90). She asked [[Nelly Sell]] whether [[Eldraki]] was the one, and Nelly said yes. She has started to wonder whether she should have thrown [[Vareth Justicar]]'s sword overboard (S93). ## Appearance Dark hair in a loose braid threaded with prayer beads. Travel-worn gear she maintains herself, and a habit of praying under her breath when she thinks no one is listening. ## Personality Direct, dry, and impatient with excuses. She is the one who acts while everyone else is still processing — she threw [[Vareth Justicar]]'s sword off an airship because [[Lynne]] needed it gone, and did not discuss it first. Her faith is practical rather than preachy, and she reads the people around her well; she noticed what [[Petra]] was doing to herself trying to match her father and said so plainly. She still carries her brother, but it no longer runs her. She is not going home to tell her parents [[Savras Belabranta|Savras]] is in a cult, and she is enjoying the adventuring more than she expected to. ## Quote _"You don't have to be him. Nobody's ever won an argument with him anyway."_ ## Connections **[[Petra]]** — best friend; grew up wild alongside her, two noble daughters who hated the performance of nobility. **[[Savras Belabranta]]** — older brother and childhood hero; watching him fall in with [[Thurl Merosska]] and then [[Aerisi Kalinoth]] broke something in her. ## Background **The Path:** Found direction where [[Petra]] didn't, joining the [[Order of the Gauntlet]] after seeing what happens to people without protectors. **The Failure:** Certain she could reach [[Savras Belabranta|Savras]], she led a rescue mission into [[Haayon]]'s cult. She was wrong — the mission collapsed and her companions were captured alongside her. ## Stats **Base:** [[Knight]], modified. - WIS 11 → 13 - Add Lay on Hands (10 HP pool) ![[Knight]] %%
