Polly 'Procella' d'Este
Appearance
Physical Description
Procella is only 4'11" tall and is rather underweight at only 77lbs. Her frame could be described as slender and petit with mostly just upper body strength.
Facial Features
Procella uses makeup to tone down how blue her face is before adding a slight pink blush, purple shadow around the eyes and dark purple lipstick.
Physical quirks
A wind blows gently around Procella at all times though not normally felt by others unless they were to come into direct contact with her. Any loose clothing she wears or untied hair blows with the wind all the time. The wind seems to change with her mood, specifically as she angers the wind becomes harsher. While in combat Procella uses the wind to her advantage allowing it to blow projectiles or weapon swings off their mark as she darts around the battlefield. This aura allows her to not have a need for normal armour.
Apparel & Accessories
Hair: Procella keeps her tightly tied back into a Ballet Bun. An aura of wind means her hair is constantly trying to blow free, every now and then a few strands come loose and start flowing around awkwardly as she moves. As such, Procella needs to tie her hair back again once every few hours as annoying as it is to do.
Clothes: Procella has a large collection of fine clothes, all custom made to account for combat and dance movements while also not being too effected by the wind constantly blow around her. If she wears a dress or skirt it always has some kind of frame to hold it in place, however most of the time she'll wear leotard-esque clothing as if dressed up for a performance.

Charged with lightning, the delicate ivory that makes it is decorated in an expression of a sea storm, waves flowing dramatically, swirling without end. It is as though the might of the sky would strike it, to make sure all can see. It is a spectacle that should never be missed.

King Crimson (Freemen Bank)
Wondrous (Crown) - Minor Very Rare - Attunement
Why anyone would discard a ruby, no one knows. Or is it a shiny red dragon scale? A shard of paint? In any case, it’s been jammed into a crusty fossil and stuck to a broken pink tiara to create an abomination of a crown. Woven into its creation however is powerful magic to peer through time. When set upon one’s head, the aged stone recedes to reveal two beady green eyes and a toothy streak of a mouth. Sitting prominently on its bearer’s forehead, it projects shattered images of events yet to occur, a strange consequence of the magic maintaining its form.
While wearing this crown you gain access to the following abilities:
Fighting Premonitions: You have +1 AC against attacks that have disadvantage as you subtly deflect blows before they land.
Delay the Inevitable: When you would be hit by an attack that isn't a critical hit, you can use your reaction to draw upon the power of the crown and have the attack miss instead. Such interference comes at a price however. The source of that attack can't miss with its next attack against you in the next minute, and is immune to this ability for the next 24 hours.
Prophecy of Destruction: As a bonus action, you can perceive a time that a creature you can see within 30 feet of you will be most vulnerable. In 1d4 rounds you can use your action to teleport to a space you can see adjacent to that creature and emit a deadly force. It must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or take 4d8 force damage and be stunned until the end of your next turn. If the result of the 1d4 is a 4, the DC is increased to 16. You can use this ability a number of times equal to half your Wisdom modifier, rounded down (minimum of one), with all uses refreshing on a long rest.

Robe (Wondrous) - Major Rare (2900gp, 29 days) - Attunement
These robes flow amorphously, like blood being kept under a singular form, that of cloth, with a pair of gems adorning its hood. One a slimy emerald, the other, a cold blue that the wearer may peer through.
Your Constitution score is increased by 2, to a maximum equal to your ability score cap.
Protocol must be maintained. As a bonus action, you can wreathe the robe in an inky and oozing liquid, which is harmful to your enemies and to touch for 1 minute. Hostile creatures that touch you or hit you with a melee attack while within 5 feet of you take 1d4 acid damage. In addition, when you successfully make a melee weapon attack against a creature, you deal an additional 1d4 acid damage for the duration. You can use this ability once per long rest.
Unravel Before Me. Looking through the blue gem allows you to better your understanding of your surroundings. You gain a +1 bonus to Wisdom (Animal Handling, Insight, Martial, Medicine and Survival) checks. When you hit an enemy creature with a melee weapon attack, you can send disruptive energies through the attack. If you are aware of the creature being under the effects of a spell, you can attempt to disrupt it as a reaction. Any spell of 2nd level or lower on the target ends. For each spell of 3rd level on the target, make an ability check using your Constitution modifier. The DC equals 14. On a successful check, the spell ends. You can use Unravel twice per long rest.

Special abilities
Procella is a Storm Herald Barbarian of the Sea. As an Air genasi, air seems to blow around her at all times, Procella’s though changes depending on her emotions. Storm herald makes the normally gentle wind build into a storm that swirls around her as she herself rages. Barbarian gives her protection ‘due to thick skin’, however for Procella the protection comes from the wind blowing around her throwing off attacks. For example, an arrow comes flying in but the wind blows it off course enough so that it potentially either doesn't hit her or only scrapes her. She has also multi-classed into Pirate Rogue which simulates her mobile gorilla fighting style, allowing her to dance around the battlefield without constraint. She recklessly spins into her attacks using expression and rhythm to her advantage.
Mentality
Personal history
My mother was a dancer of some esteem in Daborak, I personally learned from her movements since I can remember. She was unfortunately killed by the terrible villain of the name Kingvale who was later stopped by a small selection of heroic adventurers.It was around the period her death that father started to send me off into competitions, specifically that of acrobatics. I wasn’t so good at first but about four years later the element of air was empowered within me. I could fly. This change had me banned from most competition, but instead my father thought performance would be the way to go. I loved performing, but he didn’t care for the art or even me, he cared only for the money.
I am now an adventurer who seeks to help those who need it the most, however my past often calls back to me. I believe in these times where there is so much turmoil and worry, people such as us need to step up to entertain, inspire and hopefully, unite the people against these threats.
Procella's Theme
Procella is an air genasi infused who has had her element infused with Astral power, as such making her an astral air genasi. She grew up as a noble in a military country, her mother was a performing acrobatic dancer which got her into it at a very young age. After her mother died when she was about 11 to Kingavle, her father convinced her to start competing properly. She wasn’t the greatest at either gymnastics or dance, but then suddenly at the age of 15 her and all other astral genasi gained the ability to fly as the element of air was enhanced within Verum.
Unfortunately for Procella this also meant she was banned from all tournaments. Her father was furious until he figured out that she could easily make them money by performing on stages elsewhere, as such for the next 2-3 years she performed using the techniques learned over her previous years but this time with the enhancement of flight. Her father’s greed and bigotry would eventually prove too much for Procella, and as soon as she becomes her own woman at the age of 18 she decides to leave the noble house to gain her freedom. She thought her father might be angry but ultimately he didn’t seem to care, his focus had switched to her younger brother instead.
Procella decides to go to Bloodwave Bay and join a crew of Freemen, those who vow to protect the Bay and all of the freedoms it represents. Over about half a year she has learned a lot and even made it to the position of Captains Mate and ambassador of their cause. She now represents the wills of both Kaheeli and Cassius, carrying forth the spirit of freedom where ever she might go.

Family Ties
The house of Este goes back a long way. It has never found itself with the most renown as for how noble houses go, and in recent times it has seemingly been dying out slowly. This was probably the reason for a lot of Procella's father's actions and attitudes. Her mother only ever had her, and for a long time she was an only child. Her father didn't like this, a female genasi born of two noble humans, their name would die out unless she would marry someone of lesser pedigree, and even then their blood would forever be tainted by the outside element.
When Procella's mother died when she was 11 by the hands of the necromancer Kingvale, her father didn't wait around long before remarrying just after the necromancer had been defeated. A year later they had a son who has been named heir to what small amount of land their noble house holds. Procella has been promised nothing of her families heritage. Despite the slight annoyance at her father, she never finds herself able to stay angry at anyone close to her for too long. As such, her relationship with her family is still stable, if anything the fact she hasn't been promised anything has allowed her the freedom she had wished for. In a way, she's rather grateful for that.
Religious Views
Procella religiously follows the idea of freedom of ideas, of body and of the soul. The two deities she switches between usually are Cassius and Kaheeli, though she will still do her best to try not to kill anyone when fighting unless they offer her no other choice. She is mostly opposed to Tyranny in the way of Babylon, and is very wary of his teachings. She greatly respects Sekelcuse as she greatly believes in supporting charity herself and fighting against the greed of the oppressors. Other honourable mentions of deities she respects would include Tilt, Lorita, Wondox, Vavren and The Seven.

Speech
Procella speaks with a thick, rhythmic accent, mixing in elements of auran to the point that some words are changed or missing. Her ability to speak auran is natural, and as such she's rather good at it, but she would never pay enough attention when her tutors tried to teach her common for her to actually be fluent. Still, due to her up bringing she usually speaks with an element of grace and diplomacy... Most of the time.
