Fortuna (/ˈfoɹt͡ʃunə/)

Fortuna is the owner and barkeep of the Laughing Lapis, only tavern in the Guild's proximity. She is known to make food for the adventurers, but she provides magical drinks for those who dare to try it.

 

She used to work for the Guild before retiring. Her trauma made it difficult for her to continue her job as a adventurer and therefore, she chose to become a barkeep at the Guild. That way, she is able to keep an eye out for her niece, Hope, current adventurer in the Guild.

  Edit of 12/18/1511: Due to the events of the 11th of Nightal 1511 BR, it has been updated that Fortuna is Hope's mother and not her aunt. Fortuna doesn't have any siblings.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Fortuna is rather fit and is pretty agile. She can still use her weapons with no issues, even though she stopped actively handling them.

Body Features

Fortuna has a tail and horns, due to her being a Tiefling

Special abilities

Being a Tiefling of the Bloodline of Fierna, Fortuna is able to cast some spells to charm others. These spells are Friends, Charm Person and Suggestion.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Fortuna used to be an assassin in the first adventuring group of the Guild [1]. She has been on many missions with her team. It has been mentioned of dragons, maybe this how her fear started (speculations).

 

According to some of the notes in the archives, Fortuna left the Guild in 1508. The reason seemed to have been redacted. She eventually came back a few months afterwards and decided to open The Laughing Lapis and ran it, hoping to get more time with her niece.

 

Edit of 12/18/1511: The mission that happened on the 11th of Nightfal 1511 was able to shine some light as the relationship between Fortuna and Hope. Fortuna is Hope's mother, not an aunt. It is noted that, due to Divine intervention, Hope's appearance was changed to be similar to an Aasimar. The same intervention managed to create gaps in Hope's memory, remembering her mother as the goddess Sune rather than her real mother Fortuna.

Sexuality

Fortuna is bisexual, and quite sexually active. She seduces both men and women, and she has a preference for those with a bit less experience, and the more introverted ones.

She has already been seen flirting with adventurers. Some even reports that she had intercourse with some lucky rare ones.

Employment

Fortuna used to be part of the Guild of Misfits & Majesty as an assassin rogue. However, due to personal trauma, she decided to retire as an adventurer and work as a barkeep.

 

As the owner of the tavern, Fortuna makes food and drinks. Be careful, her brews are magical and each one has a random effect. The adventurers seem to appreciate that fact since the tavern is never truly empty.

Failures & Embarrassments

She has already attacked a Patron once. According to the words of the witnesses, she knocked a Patron out after they attempted to eat an adventurer's pet. Fortuna didn't seem to receive any punishment from the Guild as it was considered justified.

Mental Trauma

It seems she has seen the attack of dragons on a city. Ever since these events, Fortuna developed an intense fear of dragons, also known as Dracophobia. Loud noises seem to also trigger a fear response from Fortuna.


 

Edit of 12/18/1511: Her daughter Hope was killed by a white dragon in a previous mission. Even though she returned to her mother, it doesn't seem that it cured Fortuna's fear.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Her main goal is to watch over her niece when she can. Even if she appreciates serving the members of the Guild, it seems it is only the second priority to her.  

Edit of 12/18/1511: For correction purposes, she is watching over her daughter.

Social

Family Ties

Fortuna is the aunt of Hope. Fortuna's parents are unknown.   Fortuna is rather protective of her niece hence why she still has a job at the Guild. She doesn't have a partner in life currently.  

Edit of 12/18/1511: For correction purposes, Hope is Fortuna's daughter.

Religious Views

Fortuna is a Sunite, a follower of the goddess Sune. She follows the idea of Passion, the beliefs of strong feelings. Love is, of course, one of these feelings, but anger is also one of them.

Notes

  1. ^ I do not have access yet to the records of her missions. And I have even less access to her personal life before the Guild. I should ask Mister Silverblood to get them for me. When he is less busy.

Author's Notes

It is really strange to write about Miss Fortuna but it is what the Guild wants. Though, I am unsure as to why they put me in the drafting of the article. Mister Silverblood knows her far better than I do. I guess he is busy with much more important work.
