Finally got around to doing this for Fe even though I got lazy. This was a really fun PSD! Additional musings under the cut for my own good.
[ Template ] @arcandoria (Thank you!)
This was actually a little difficult for me. I decided not to include her item bonuses on stats, but otherwise her LVL12 set up. I am not a min-max sort of player, the higher WIS was intended to potentially multi-class her into druid maybe, but I ended up just committing full warlock and embracing the necromancer/charm thing since it felt very Autumn/Fey Necromancy vibes.
Technically speaking, she was born to a sun elven house in Evermeet just after the Spellplague when it slipped in the Feywilds where she was born, however she has spent the majority of this life within or about her Archfey Patron's demiplane. Her experience time-wise is a little warped from the perception of the PMP for years since the Spellplague so I went roughly 200 for now. Despite that time she is essentially laughably sheltered in certain concepts and is very much faking it til she makes it in Faerun.
This translates more to her being more quasi eladrin and locked in an autumnal phase, which is intentional due to the patron being the Lord of Leaves, who is an archfey with a locked demiplane that is ensnared in similar magics as Mithrendain, through frankly it is their version/an imitation of that magic that is imperfect and requires care. (I refer to the demiplane as the Lair of Leaves or Lar'Doris.) The whole aspect of harvest/decay, the transition between seasons of life and death... Bread and butter of the character concept and the demiplane is technically imbalanced for lore/history reasons and requires "feeding". So lifedrinker and collecting life essence... very in theme. Fiadh being on the template is kinda lore-spoilers.

IDK how she got the Tharchiate Vigour tbh because Astarion has the associated summon -- I think I initially had my character read the Codex because I was running around in the vault for it alone on accident, and then passed reading the actual book later as Astarion? Anyway, that only solidified the embracing necromancy tidbits for her character, and it fits with the lore i have built for the Archfey Demiplane/Autumnal Heart.
Fe in EA originally just had the all dark sclera with none of the eye white heterochromia, but that is meant to reflect that the grasp of the autumnal heart is tenuous to non-existent due to the distance from the demiplane as well as the whole tadpole thing. The dormant infernal curse is also... leaking due to her lack of connection to the heart. Original concept it was suppose to be more of a shadow effect in duress, but that tattoo was close enough in full release and I just committed. (I do plan to maybe mod it. Maybe.)

One of my favorite little tidbits is Fe presents as diplomatic lead/persuasion but she is in-fact, technically more at home in performance and deception. Her background is chaotic neutral, but potentially leaning evil depending on your perspective, especially in the later part of the lore pre-abduction.

"Noble" background is technically the origin point of her current life but tbh Charlatan is probably more accurate for her internal life -- there is a good amount of overlap I feel however for the two backgrounds in terms of what you get inspiration for. Still got the roleplayer achievement IG so it must be close enough to accurate in her motivations. She would like to be perceived that way mostly I suppose regardless.
Corellon is a place-holder technically. There is aspects of his influence in their lore, but that history predates the creation of the demiplane. Fe does not actively worship any entities, throughout this life she has if anything almost worshiped the Autumnal Heart (a magical construct that powers the demiplane that is technically a soul cage that once required two souls but no only technically has one so it needs additional feeding to be sustained) SO.bg
