Support with a Ko-fi  
Often misunderstood cleric of the Raven Queen - a female aspect of Kelemvor. Or her own being. It's complicated.
 
She's dedicated to fate, trying to do good. Her past is filled with tragedy and her using others for her benefit. By attempting to help others stay on the path their intended fate, she hopes to save her own. Death, the conclusion of someone's fate, needs to be understood and respected rather than feared.

Appearance

Physical Description

Soft with some sharpness. Curvy but fit and usually hides it. Horns and tail fade to a more clear infernal red than the almost black red that covers the rest of her body.
 
The horns are thick and ridged, protruding from the front of her head and then arch backwards. Her tail is slightly thicker than her forearm at its base. It extends for a meter and a half, tapering to the thickness of her wrist. The end extends into an arrowhead-shape.

Facial Features

Her eyes are completely white and almost glowing.

Apparel & Accessories

Usually dressed only in black, dark blue, and the white under the symbol of the raven queen at the top of her cloak. She often does wear some simple silver jewellery, including some earrings. And of course, she always carries the silver raven that is the symbol of her faith.

Specialized Equipment

She carries a shield that she usually brings out in combat. She's a lot less likely to use her mace, preferring to rely on the magic given to her by the Raven Queen. The silver raven on her necklace is her spell focus, and she never takes it off under any circumstances.
 
Nepheri does own a scythe of a very foreboding design that she carries as a symbol. Harvest your grain too early, and you won't get any flour; harvest too late and all value has been lost. She'll leave this behind whenever it becomes inconvenient, but it works as a reminder.

Mentality

Personal history

Nepheri was born in Neverwinter in 1468 DR and has spent most of her life there.
 
Her father, a half-elf named Barksos, left when Nepheri was seven, having fallen in love with an elven woman in Waterdeep. Nepheri's mother, Heaia, was killed four years later after she refused "extra services" to a bar patron and he didn't take no for an answer.
 
Nepheri learned to trick people into giving her money very early in life. It's what most expect from Tieflings anyway, so why not just take the stereotype and run with it? After she realised she could practically live off of the sympathy received after her mother's death, she started using those sorts of tragedies to sell people false hope, fake cures and the like.
 
At the age of 18, she was caught by the Order of the Raven Queen as she tried to pass herself off as a medium working for the order. As punishment she wasn't put in prison - she handed herself to the Order who in turn taught her their ways.
 
She is filled with the respect she is now had as a very devout believer, ashamed of how she once used people and desperate to show the importance of the order's teachings to the people.
 

The life before


Sir? Excuse me, Sir? I can sense sorrow within you and believe you are the one I have been sent to aid. I'm cursed, you see. When a soul is struggling to find it's way, I hear the agony. You're recently lost someone, haven't you Sir? I can hear them. Luckily I have the charms you'll need to guide them away from a terrible fate. Place the charms on their grave and speak with them. Please Sir, don't let them suffer! All I ask is enough money so that I can enchant more talismans to aid others such as yourself. Five gold pieces is all.
— Nepheri, age 13

 
The day Nepheri was born was also the day her maternal grandmother, Feraia, died from a heart attack, making it both a happy and a sad day for the family. This combination of events left the newborn girl with only one living grandparent, her paternal grandfather.
 
From what Nepheri knows, the first couple of years of her life were reasonably happy. Her parents shielded her from the less than honest parts of their jobs. Her father worked in a butcher's who helped fence meat from cattle thieves. Her mother was a waitress and tried to find ways to trick customers into spending more for less. Both of them ended up in trouble with people on both sides of the law more than once.
 
It was during a business trip to Waterdeep that Nepheri's father fell in love with an elf named Kelara Laurel. Besides her name and the fact that Barksos - her father - was in a great hurry to be with her instead of his family, Nepheri knows nothing about this woman. Nor has she felt a need to find more out, and she assumes that Kelara is an evil one who destroys happy families.
 
Her father leaving makes the first point where Nepheri decided that the misfortune of others didn't matter to her. She went to funerals for children and begged outside so that grieving attendants would give her money. She tricked temples into giving her money to take care of the burial of her dead parents. She pulled that last scheme so many times that when her mother finally died, Nepheri had to find a site and bury her mother herself.
 
Before her death, Heaia, Nepheri's mother, had added things like pickpocketing to her repertoire. And she increasingly used flirting to get extra money from the customers at the pub. Her more sensual behaviour is what leads some of them to assume that she was also a prostitute and one of them was so upset that he couldn't buy access to her body that he preferred to stab her multiple times. The man, named Felcer Stormwreath, had contacts among the nobility in Neverwinter and was never put on trial.
 
Nepheri tried to seek out her only living relative after her mother had died. But her grandfather, Kelarr, had been sick for years and only kept alive by ever more invasive treatments by local priests of Ilmater. When she finally got there, he was in such bad shape that he begged Nepheri to end his life. It took a lot of soul-searching for her to do what she did next. She managed to convince the priests to give her funds to take care of her grandfather at home. AsIlmater always preaches sacrifice, the priests obliged. The thirteen-year-old girl then took her sick grandfather home and gave him the death he wished for but keeping the money from the temple to herself.
 
Getting a bit older, Nepheri could pull off different tricks to get money. She learned how to disguise herself so that she wouldn't get caught as easily. Those grieving were willing to pay for any chance to talk to the departed, and Tieflings already have a reputation for the arcane so convincing someone to pay for some divination was easy. The dying were willing to pay even more for a cure or at least something that would let them live longer. And Nepheri could fake a seance or make a pretend healing potion that was close enough to fool someone who had no experience with the real thing.
 
It was to spot potential targets that Nepheri created a whole fake persona - Maleena Dream. Maleena was the outspoken, sensual and provocative person Nepheri couldn't be. She was also very good at spotting people who were suffering and she could exploit.
 
What she never truly had was the feeling of an authentic bond of kindness with someone she could care believed in her for being here and not for what they had been tricked into.
 

Finding her Faith


Shh... You don't have to worry anymore. The pain will go away and you will find a place for transcendence. The Raven Queen will watch over you through me. We'll be here until the end. You're not alone. My Queen is with us all as we die. Trust in her.
— Nepheri - age 20.

Everything changed for Nepheri when she got caught in one of her most common schemes. She would go to a funeral, claiming the deceased had given her visions (and spout some basic information about them that she had managed to find out) and then she asked people for money so she could afford to go on some quest to find out more. Only this time, at the Temple of the Raven Queen, there was an actual cleric present who had indeed been communing with the dead man. Attempting a quick getaway, Nepheri pulled some things that looked valuable from the temple and scampered. She was found by the same cleric that evening.
 
Given a choice between working at the temple for the cleric, Master Jint Silverlock, and being handed over to the city guards; Nepheri figured it would be easier to escape from the former. She was wrong. For the first six months, she did everything she could not have to adhere to the temple's strict rules. When that didn't work, she sulked and read the books there instead. And as she came to understand the role of death in people's lives. And she started to realize just how cruel she had been previously.
 
The sense of regret that filled her fueled her growing conviction as she gave herself to her studies and understanding The Raven Queen. She shed all she could of her old life and spent hours in prayer every day. It took another year before she got over her shame and started to help out with funerals and caring for the dying and their relatives, but once she did - she put her all into it. She even volunteered to travel to places around Neverwinter to seek out those who could benefit from any solace she could give them. Anything to make up at least some of the sadness she had caused before.
 
She made no real friends during her time in the temple as she was too busy focusing on her work. But there was a handful of people who she admired for their dedication.
 
One evening, after Nepheri had helped a dying woman say farewell to her family just before she died, she sat in prayer in the temple as usual. Suddenly, she felt the presence of the Queen herself around her. The Raven had chosen her to be her cleric and help guide the people. She had was given a chance to call on her goddess' favour and magic directly.
 

Other pieces from her past


Good memories


  • When they had enough money, Nepheri's mother used to take her to drink chocolate in the Neverwinter harbour to watch the ships.

Bad memories


  • Most of her teens.

  • Nepheri spent a night hidden in fear next to a crypt as she was trying to get away from a tiefling-hating group of youths.

Education

Her only formal education consists of three years at the temple to the Raven Queen in Neverwinter. The first six months or so consisted mostly of escape attempts and trying to get the priests annoyed enough to kick her out. But once she took her position seriously, she was all consumed by studies. Never feeling like more than an outsider, she made few friends outside of the dead and the dying who came to the temple.

Accomplishments & Achievements

To her, leaving her old life behind and truly taking in the teachings of the Raven Queen is a significant accomplishment. And the things she realised means she struggles every day to keep true to her new path.

Failures & Embarrassments

Nepheri's past as a con-artist who abused people fills her with shame to the point where it defines her. To her, this is a sin so big that it can never be forgiven and she expects her soul to be dragged to the Nine Hells when she dies. She's not seeking redemption, only a chance to also leave some good behind.
 
On a more personal level, Nepheri has written a lot of over-dramatic poetry in her teens. The kind where rhymes using 'fire' - 'desire' and 'hole' - 'soul' are common. She's become a much better writer and would hate for anyone to find any of these old texts.
 
She isn't as bad a cook as she thinks she is. As a child, she thought she had talent in this area, but after serving other people she realised it was her mother being kind. Embarrassed, she stopped cooking until she had to. To this day she's convinced the result will be terrible which is also the major reason she's being held back. In reality, the food she makes is somewhat boring but perfectly edible.

Mental Trauma

Several things in Nepheri's life have left her scarred. Her father leaving her and her mother. Her mother being killed. And she's convinced that she deserves worse things in the future.

Intellectual Characteristics

Second-guessing herself constantly, but tries to keep a calm head about her.

Morality & Philosophy

Death comes to all. It has to. It is what makes life precious, knowing that we all have a measured out destiny to fulfil. Everyone needs to be able to face that and live their life in that knowledge. Have you got that sense of mortality? Good. Now you can focus on what's important.

person.sexuality

Pansexual

Known Languages

Common and Infernal .

Personality

Motivation

She has hurt a lot of people in their darkest hour; people who were mourning or had lost faith in life. She has a strong need to make up for that and show respect for the dying, the dead and those who are in mourning.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Feats of strength are not her thing. And she grew up on the streets, not among nobles. She can fake being upper class to some extent, especially to those who aren't part of it, but she has no way to know what to do.

Likes & Dislikes

Likes


Food and Drink
When it comes to drinks, Nepheri enjoys wine and has a soft spot for mediocre reds in particular. anything warm is better than something cold and she would prefer not to have anything well chilled. There is one other beverage which makes her life better: coffee. Any day that starts with a cup is better, and serving her some is a good way to make her less cranky.
 
Acrivities
Nepheri did a lot of dancing and singing when she was younger, but when she joined the temple, she viewed it as part of her shameful past. She's slowly embracing these passions again but is afraid they might lead her down a sinful path.
 
Humour
Taking someone down a peg amuses Nepheri to no end. This goes double when someone is trying to be morally superior. Her attempts to bring about humility is essentially also the reason for her sarcasm. Also, while she doesn't want to admit it, 'dad jokes' usually results in a laugh.
 
Other things
She loves the night and the mysteries associated with it. The moon is the prettiest light as far as she's concerned. Symbols of death remind her of her Goddess and make her feel safe and at home.
 

Dislikes


Food and Drink
Nepheri considers soup pointless as a dish. Foods should be something you can bite, otherwise it's a beverage.
 
Weather
Her tiefling blood sets Nepheri's body temperature very high and being somewhere cold feels even colder to her. And getting wet just feels like the world is trying to douse her. The combinations of those two are snow and ice, which makes her hate those even more. Few things make her grumpy and miserable the way cold rain does.
 
Creatures
As a servitor of the Raven Queen, Nepheri has a burning hatred for the undead. They are an abomination against the natural order of things and have to move on or be destroyed. The sooner the better. Also, Nepheri's maternal grandmother was raped by a devil, which led to the infernal blood that makes her a tiefling. As a result, she sees all devils as imminent threats. Which, isn't wrong.

Vices & Personality flaws

After much time where she had to hide her emotions, Nepheri has a hard time expressing sadness sometimes. Instead, when she's scared, she becomes very goal-oriented to the point of ignoring her safety. She doesn't want the world to think she might fail it again. Any time something goes wrong because of her, she wants to break down. And if she's feeling safe enough, she might allow herself to cry and fall apart.

Social

Birthplace

Neverwinter

Family Ties

Every member of Nepheri's family is dead, as far as she's aware. Her maternal grandmother died the same day Nepheri was born, and her maternal grandfather was a devil who raped her grandmother. Her paternal grandmother died in childbirth when she had Nepheris father. Nepheri killed her paternal grandfather both as an act of mercy and as a way to get money.
 
As far as she knows, Nepheri has no aunts, uncles, or siblings. Her mother was killed by a bar patron. Her father was turned into a vampire as he left the family to be with his sire and new wife in Waterdeep. He was later destroyed by Nepheri and her friends.

Religious Views

A very devout priestess of the Raven Queen, whom Nepheri thinks she owes her life and every bit of good in her to. She shares a lot of her Queen's views on the other gods, including a dedication to Kelemvor, appreciation for the fates laid out by Savras, and hate for Myrcul. But Nepheri also looks down on Ilmater - not because she thinks self-sacrifice is bad, but because she believes his priests prolongs suffering when it should end.

Social Aptitude

Nepheri's calm demeanour often makes her seem trustworthy, even when she lies. Maybe especially when she lies. She tries always to appear kind and helpful.

Speech

Nepheri usually is very soft-spoken and rarely raises her voice. She tries to navigate between being gentle and not sounding like a devil trying to trick someone.

Visits in the Cloudtops

by Nepheri

Alhura and Kima indeed are excellent hosts. I haven't even heard of some of these dishes. Seriously, who thought of stuffing something into a tiny bird? How are you even supposed to eat that? It tasted nice enough, though, and their staff was really friendly.
 
Dworik always seems able to handle situations like these, but I'm not sure the food agreed with him. In any case, we brought up the whole dragon plan and possibilities of getting closer to Cedery, and they seemed to think it was a good idea. Especially the laxative part. We even got Kima to agree to join us for the endeavour. She seems more than capable, which will be helpful if we're to fight another dragon.
 
After dinner, we headed to Cedery's home to better understand what we were up against. It's easily twice the size of Fate Manor back home and has a large garden at the front, which might make it difficult to enter unnoticed. What's worse is that every entrance has runes that will alert someone inside to one's presence along with a vision. Not great for us. Even at this hour, several lights were burning in the windows, indicating people being awake and active. The fact that a couple of guests, likely students, left while we were there probably provides at least a partial explanation for it. They weren't the only ones leaving — a girl, maybe five or so years younger than I, snuck out not-so-stealthily. She met up with some friends. I know some of the people I met while I was a teenager, the ones who had proper homes, sometimes did this. The great thing with those people was that they often had things like gold or alcohol to waste and could be made to provide for me. Provided they were given the right motivation, at least. Maybe the same tactics might provide us with an advantage here?

The major events and journals in Nepheri's history, from the beginning to today.

Fall

My companions seem to become more of a group every day and nothing could make me happier at this point. We were attacked by the winged demons, Vrock it turns out, as we got closer to the mountain. They managed to kill two of our horses, including Ellywick...

11:16 am - 14.05.2019

Lizards in a hole

Kobolds. I'm not impressed. Besides some general things, such as some shiny horseshoes, the cave the vrock had supposedly inhabited contained a summoning symbol. No gate to close, but this might be it? We destroyed it anyway, though I'm not sure that d...

10:50 pm - 15.05.2019

Turned 22 years old

First birthday with genuine friends since mum died.

10:51 pm - 15.05.2019

Not Today

The dragon attacked during the night, long before any of us had a chance to regain our strength. I, in particular, was completely drained of any powerful magic and in essence no more powerful in that regard than when we entered the Echo Wave Cave. Way too...

02:10 pm - 27.05.2019

Defeated the Shadow Dragon

Three souls have been returned to their bodies. One of them twice. I hope this dragon wasn't meant to kill them.

12:34 am - 29.05.2019

A broken soul

Did I do the right thing, asking for Dworik's souls back yet again? She hesitated, but I have faith that my friend will have more to give. But what I brought back... The ordeals have taken their toll on him. He carved his way into the dragon we had killed...

09:26 pm - 04.06.2019

Business...

Six months ago, I had only just left the ascetic life of the monastery. Six years ago, I had a roof over my head only when I tricked someone else into paying for it. Now I, on paper, own a mansion, and as part of the Fate Watchers, I have several employee...

01:29 pm - 22.06.2019

Far From Home

Ok, so this will be a long one. And one with a lot of headaches. We left Timotej with quite a bit of gold and a mission to build a business out of our home in Waterdeep. Which is good, at least the staff will hopefully be seen to, which might be useful...

02:36 am - 11.07.2019

World Change

Bye, by Forgotten Realms.

02:38 am - 11.07.2019

Cold

This place is so different, yet familiar. Our currency is valid, and we can speak to these people, despite their accents being weird. But the sites here and the people we are assumed to know... and... my Queen. She appeared to me as I prayed for spel...

01:31 am - 15.08.2019

Life, interrupted

The city of Whitestone. I understand where it gets its name from. But right now, it's less of a city and more of an eerily quiet tomb. Except I'd feel at home in a tomb. They're relaxing places of contemplation and rest. This is just life stopped in its ...

05:47 pm - 20.08.2019

Hot and Cold

This place continues to feel like a graveyard without comfortable rest granted by death. And the snow itself can rise and freeze our bodies. But as we fetched the 'rifle' Vax'ildan wanted, things started to heat up in strange ways. Dworik wanted to take s...

10:25 pm - 10.09.2019

The Dragon's Lair

With the dragon out, we figured we might have a chance to look around before it came back. And immediately our chances of fighting it were reduced as Lavia was once again captured inside her lyre. I picked it up, of course, but with a huge dragon nearby, ...

In the afternoon, we plan!

The others seem hungry. Really hungry. Myself, I'm a bit too nervous for an appetite. If we fail at our task, the dragon will return to bring death to those we have just brought back to proper life. This is why I suggested to the group we collapse the tun...

A Song of Ice and Fire

The warm tavern and the people able to live gives me hope. I had already placed Lavia next to me, and I wasn't even thinking about anything in particular when I first strummed her strings, lightly trying out a melody. I tried out some words with a simple ...

Celebration

Judging by the speech by Cassandra de Rolo, we're seen as heroes of some sort. I'm just happy the population of the city is allowed to live and die as they should be. Back home, a massive celebration in honour of the Raven Queen would seem absurd, but ...

Flight and Flutter

Lavia is back! And my song helped make her happy while her curse kept her captive in her lyre - which makes me extra delighted. I think she was pleased to come back in the middle of festivities, including music and dancing. Maybe should have gone easy on...

Freedom of Movement

I hope I never get used to flying ships because this is amazing. The others are a bit more social than I'm feeling, though. After the conversation with Lavia, I felt like I was at risk of using someone again. Coming clean about the basics of my background...

At dusk we... do something?

I have no time to write Lavia a song about what's happening, but some simple chords might make her feel less lonely at least. We've met a couple of people. A guard friend of Deedee's, Jeffery or "The Pike," showed up and might be sympathetic to our cau...

Pray for a quick end to our deception

Lavia is back! I mean, that's cool and everything. And having her next to me in bed at the end of the night is fine. Saving on a fifth room and all that. Never mind that I feel... Yeah, so, anyway. The evening continued included some scouting and some con...

Released

We're finally doing this. It feels like we've been in the planning stage way too long while this creature is suffering. Lavia and I made our grand entrance while the others snuck in from behind the tents. I'd like to think we did a rather good job. Her mu...

Skyfall

Airtravel is still new and I really don't know what to expect from it still. The bird shit seems reasonable, and I'm just happy it didn't hit me. Lavia suddenly being pulled into her lyre was something of a shock. It's been almost a week and I was really ...

Acid Falls

We are both very mobile and very much not so. Lightning quickly took us to the cave we wanted to go. It then took us almost as much time to climb the little bit from where we were dropped off to the proper cave entrance. Granted, we spent a large amount o...

Roped in

The thing was big, deformed, and angry. I'm not sure if it was trapped until the acid set it free or if it caused the acid to spread or both. In any case, it managed to hit Dworik hard and created some form of anguish to both Ellywick and Phennyr. The lat...

05:36 pm - 19.08.2020

Faith in Friends

We spent the night amongst a few abandoned building hat might be haunted. I wish I had the time to investigate further, but I understand that we have to move on, and I have to be content with just observing what I can. Ellywick could sense undead presence...

Insight into Emon

We have arrived in the big city, and I must say that no matter how much I love travelling with the group, there is always a feeling of home in the smell a lot of people around me. Not nessecarily a good feeling, but a familiar one. We, however, had some t...

10:54 pm - 23.09.2020

A Calling

I need some grounding in all of this. I'm not cut out for politics. Let me give respect to the dead and support to the bereaved, or play some comforting music for those who care to listen. I know loss, and I understand the need for hope. Balancing differe...

Plagued Possibilities

Do you ever get that strange feeling where you hear the bells of the clock towers in Protector's Enclave showing that it's only might night while you could have sworn you've already had a full night? I suddenly have that, but at an intense level. Like, I'...

Visits in the Cloudtops

Alhura and Kima indeed are excellent hosts. I haven't even heard of some of these dishes. Seriously, who thought of stuffing something into a tiny bird? How are you even supposed to eat that? It tasted nice enough, though, and their staff was really frien...
