vex'ahlia can accept nearly everything, especially in the moments after a battle where sweat feels like iron and your lungs find themselves unable to expand. but she cannot allow keyleth to lay here . . . not when they're still in enemy territory. not when she saw some retreat rather than fall. hands clamber, at first, to grasp the druid and hoist her upward; fingers press into flesh with all lack of gentleness –– she will apologize for it later. keyleth is a tower of a woman. she forgets that sometimes seeing as the druid likes to posture herself smaller. forcing herself beneath keyleth's arm, she looks up into her face, attempting to read her expression. vex'ahlia is versed well in keyleth but right now she is unreadable. ❝  darling, ❞ she mutters, wincing at the sharpness in her side; probably a broken rib. this would be easier if trinket hadn't been sent back to the raven's slumber. ❝ I need you to help me out a bit. we need to find some shelter. and I don't know where the others are. ❞

character intro.

Like so many half-elves, Vex'ahlia has spent most of her life suffering the cool reception of a people who don't fully accept her.

Born of a human mother and an elven father—who only later in life took an interest in their existence—Vex'ahlia and her twin brother Vax'ildan quickly realized the only people they could truly rely on in this world were each other.

It was at the age of ten when the two were taken from their mother, and brought to live in Syngorn, the isolated elven city for which their father was an ambassador. He quietly took them in, but always kept an icy distance, and after too many years of disdainful looks, the pair decided to leave his indifference behind, and set out on their own.

Vax took to the cities, stealing small trinkets and learning the ways of the thief, while Vex kept to the woods. She preferred the isolation. Always the keen observer, she learned to hunt and to track, to spy, and to shoot. And through a series of fateful events, earned herself a companion in the form of a bear—her own stolen Trinket—to fight alongside her and protect her fiercely. Also, he is adorable—and gives expert massages.

THE BASICS

NAME: vex’ahlia vessar NICKNAMES: vex, stubby (only by her brother), baroness of the third house of whitestone, grand mistress of the grey hunt, champion of pelor, the sixth star BIRTHDAY: may 28th AGE: twenty-eight PRONOUNS: she/they LAST KNOWN MEMORY: defeating vecna  ORIGINATION: campaign one of critical role FACECLAIM: jessie mei li 

THE DETAILS

FAMILY: syldor vessar (father), elaina (mother, deceased), vax’ildan (twin brother, deceased), velora vessar (half sister), trinket (pet/son)  THREE FAVORITE THINGS: spending time in the wilderness, animals, and iced coffee EDUCATION: her childhood schooling was a mixture of public school and private school. she dropped out of high school when she was 16, but received her ged in her early 20s. currently enrolled in ccaoud, but undecided on her major. she’s mostly toying with environment science and political science.   SKILLS: archery, charismatic, acrobatics, stealthy, perceptive, lip reading, multilingual (english, mandarin chinese, french, german)  HEADCANONS (tw for death & house fire): 

vex and vax lived with their mother in dedham, essex until they were ten years old, when their father learned of their existence and took them to live in london

living with their father was, in short, a Bad Time, as he had ridiculous expectations of the twins, so they ran away when they were sixteen

they returned to dedham to look for their mother, but they learned that their childhood home burned down with elaina inside 

the twins were unhoused for a few years, traveling around from town to town to do what they had to for survival (sometimes theft, sometimes odd jobs) 

they eventually ended up in the united states, finding their own apartment, and finally working, studying, and living in relative peace

and then, in a turn of events, the twins were attacked on their way home which ultimately led to the death of vax’ildan as he stepped in front of the knife that was meant for vex’ahlia

as a result, vex picked up and left, not wanting to stay somewhere filled with memories of her twin brother (nor having the money to do so) and she ended up in decimation

also, on another note, somewhere in these 28 years she got a brown newfie dog that she loves very much

WHAT THEY’RE PLANNING TO DO IN DECIMATION: after spending 28 years operating as half of a whole, she’s essentially arrived in decimation to learn how to exist by herself. she's working at gloria’s midnight diner as a server as a way to make money while she works on her degree.
