Xindarell Ze'Anrel, High Priestess of Lolth
Xindarell was the oldest daughter of the matron mother of the first house of Siglagthil. As expected the second most powerful person in the city had also the second most powerful and influential position within the city - being the high priestess of Lolth and mistress of Arch Tilinith and thus the highest ranking member of the whole Tier Breche.
Xindarell was groomed for this role by her mother and seen by many as the perfect example of a priestess of Lolth. Ruthless and highly pious she leads the academy making sure that Siglagthil's elite remains indoctrinated to Lolth's vision.
The mistress of Arch Tilinith showed no interest in male companions, which was one of the main reasons she and her mother never got into conflict. Xindarell's lack of children meant also that she wasn't building her own faction within the house to challange the ruling matron. Overall the first daugher seemed to be satisfied to rule the academy and wait for her time to take over house Ze'Anrel after her mother to not rock the status that kept them at the top of the city. Yet she also mentioned that sooner or later she would mate with a glabrezu to get herself a powerful draegloth spawn.
Xindarell's distaste for males lead to her always having a couple of female drow around her as consorts. Over the centuries few lasted for a long time except for Liu'ysh Xorrbin who seemed to have peaked the high priestess interest.
Xindarell appearance is of a perfect drow. Highly attractive and atheltic, always emanating controll. Contrary to other drow she seldom wasted time with decptions and complicated intrigues and instead relied on her station and reason to subjugate anyone to her will. This was seen by many as another reason why she didn't challenge her mother - and in some very religious groups the question arose if Xindarell wasn't too passive and orderly to lead Lolth's church as her chosen. Yet whenever some new upstart came to challenge her it was Xindarell who came out on top, with no challenger coming even close to her might.
Besides the whole church of Lolth being at her disposal and thus extending her influence to any house of the city as well as the academy of Tier Breche, her security is always additionally granted by Lolth herself. At least two yochlols in the shape of perfect female drows are always visible at her side, while more could be lurking hidden keeping an watchful eye on the high priestess.
