Gadreel Vangdondalor
Gadreel Vangdondalor (a.k.a. Carrion)
She shines like a beacon of color among a crowd of monotone.
Sharp is her tongue and dark is her humor.

Fleeting and coming and going as it pleases,
Barely noticable yet still there.

Social
Contacts & Relations
Manfred Kuiper - A wandering human fighter that gadreel met in her travels. She and Manfred have had several hunting adventures together, but only meet up sparatically. Manfred is a "goes wherever the wind takes him" kinda guy, whereas Gadreel is a "I have a mission set upon me by destiny" kinda gal. So when they meet they make quips to each other about which on brought them together this time.
Quarenthion Vangdondalor - Gadreel's husband. He was a brass dragonborn. They were married for 4 years before his death, dying just one year after Gadreel's mother. No one knows why or how he died, there was just a lot of blood and a lack of person. With this death, Gadreel felt that she had nothing left tying her down to her village, and really only needed a reason to leave, not wanting to leave the family land to be vandalized or otherwise mistreated while she was alive.
Vu Háo Bảo - A South Xian man that Gadreel met in Kiao. He was the runner for one of the empiral families of Kiao. He would often talk with her about their respective hometowns. He enjoyed talking to her and the other more down to earth merchants, it reminded him of his simpler life back home. She met him once again as they both began training to become a Paladin of Mortexiciuss.
Daisuke Honda - The Ronin of Dayeon. He was a warrior in the previous war, which brought the current Emperor to power. He is a skill samurai, and he served with many people. He's perhaps the only on in the village who would have seen a tiefling before Armara was introduced. He served with a tiefling, and may not be alive it weren't for said tiefling. As such, he tries to treat all that he sees with respect and honour. He has been the Uesugi's family greatest ally in their village.
Bryce Haevathar - Bryce is one of the travelling companions of Gadreel while she is on the continent of Annkarvail. She thinks of him as young and rash. She also sees him as somewhat more fragile than he likes to think he is.
Rinn Niolo - Rinn is another traveling companion of Gadreels while she is on Annkarvail. She tends to defer to Rinn due to his established plethora of knowledge. She appreciates that he tends to think before he acts.
Zafrik Redpalm - Zafrik is the most...unique out of all of her traveling companions. She sees Zafrik as a bit of an oddball. She appreciates having someone else to fight with her, but she would try to get more attention on herself during battle.
Smoking Mirror - Gadreel doesn't know what exactly to think of Smoke. She knows that Smoke has some bizarre collection going on, but she doesn't know what it is. She's not nosy enough to ask anything about it yet either. She just sorta attributes Smoke's reactions as part of what she assumes other cat-humanoids are like.
Family Ties
Gadreel had a mother, a father and an older brother.
Armara Uesugi- Gadreel's red tiefling mother. She was murdered when Gadreel was 25. Gadreel's mom was more of a stay at home sort, not wanting to garner negative attention from her fellow villagers. She cooked for her kids, and did help by making textiles and weaving baskets for transport.
Atsushi Uesugi- Gadreel's human father. Died of old age when Gadreel was 16. He taught Gadreel and Koishi how to farm on since they were about 10. He always made sure that they knew how to be respectful towards people on the road to Kioa. He also taught them how to sell. He figured that Kioa would be a better place for Gadreel than their little Village of Dayeon.
Koishi Uesugi- Gadreel's human brother. Gadreel lost contact with her brother when he ran off when she was 17. No one really knows what he's up to now. Last anyone has heard from him, he was trying to find a job in Kioa. As what? No one knows.

Blunt to the point of coming off rude.
She has a slightly deeper voice, going more towards toeing the line between mezzosaprano and alto. She tends to speak in a formal tone with those who she can't estimate the age.
Relationships
History
Gadreel and Manfred's first meeting was a rocky one. Mainly one that involved Manfred going in for a handshake and introduction and Gadreel misunderstanding it and thinking he was trying to demand tribute from her. So, as one does, Gadreel tried to throw him over her shoulder. Now, Manfred's combat experience proved useful to him here, and he was able to at least take Gadreel down with him. Thus their wrestling match ensued. But since this was on a boat there wasn't exactly a lot of room for it to take place, and Manfred was easily able to overpower Gadreel. Now, also being on a boat, they had 3 months to talk over what exactly went wrong. This gave Manfred plenty of time to explain, that no, he wasn't trying to ask for money, nor is he a criminal. Because Gadreel is a stubborn gal, she didn't exactlt listen to him at first. But once Manfred got Gadreel to listen, she believed him instantly. Now, why would the normally carefree Mafred care about this? Because he saw potential in Gadreel, a lot of fighting potential. And what is the best fighter in the world without a rival? So Manfred was set to have at least one of his future rivals be Gadreel, but first he would have to train her. He's not a very patient person afterall.
