Liu'ysh Xorrbin
Liu'ysh Xorrbin was the third born daughter of Bhael Xorrbin, but contrary to her older sister she had a different father. Bhael never revealed who he was, but she picked him for his individual skills - being a psyonic. In many ways Liu'ysh was a speical project for her mother, not intended to go become just another priest - and in some ways her gamble paid off far more than she dared to hope for. Sometimes Bhael thought that she was truly blessed by Lolth to have gotten such a perfect tool for her plans.
While her mother felt favored by the godess for the options Liu gave her, she probably never fully understood that her daughter actually was blessed by the Spiderqueen. Liu'ysh was not made for Arach-Tinilith, she would not adher to the formalities the academy demanded. At the same time she was a devoted follower of Lolth - in her own ways.
Bhael trained her extremely beautiful and charismatic daughter to be perceptive and deceptive. Her father's talents manifested in her youth making her the perfect spy. Bhael made sure that while Liu'ysh didn't stay at the academy she would find other uses for her. Luck was again on Bhael's side as the Mistress of Arach-Tinilith, Xindarell Ze'Anrel took liking in the young 'failure'. Xindarell was known to prefer women so Bhael made sure Liu'ysh would gain her interest. For a suprisingly long time Xindarell kept the Xorrbin daughter as her plaything. Liu perfectly playing the part being entertaining while never appearing threatening. Being close to the highest priestess of the city who also was the daughter of the most powerfull house of the city turned out to be a huge boon for Bhael and her ambitions.
Within her own family Liu'ysh kept the same unthreatening appearance. Most of her family just see her as their mother's tool. Aradel never saw her as a competition since she never finished her education as priestess. Kuran highely mistrusted her due to her psyonic abilities, but at the same time he never was too close to his sisters to avoid their abuse. Daresh avoided his sibling and her even more than anyone else.
Liu'ysh might have wanted a special relationship with her middle sister, as Liu'ysh warned her about Aradel planning to kill her. This pushed her sister to prepare herself and orchestrate a preventive strike - yet Aradel was faster.
The youngest daughter of Bhael enjoyed herself playing the role her mother gave her. She loved how everybody dismissed her as unimportant tool of somebody else. While everbody saw her as a failed priestess she knew that her divine powers where not mere plights answers by the Spiderqueen, but power granted to her by Lolth herself.
