Personality Traits

Fadra is, perhaps, the nicest dark elf most people ever meet. She takes the duties of her priesthood seriously, in that she makes a specific point of helping and caring for others, sometimes even at the cost of her own wealth or comfort.

She's a deeply thoughtful person, though perhaps not as wise as more esoteric clergy. In battle she prefers to fight directly, and most of her blessings and orisons are prepared to assist her in that endeavor, reflecting her history as a warrior. She is surprisingly blasé about physical romances, and while she will usually entertain courtships, in actual practice she capitulates only very rarely. If asked for advice on love or passion, her understanding is surprisingly technical and extends well beyond what most people consider to be either. Though she can come off as indifferent she sometimes amuses herself by embarrassing younger, or less experienced, Planeswalkers.

Brief History

Fadra was born in 1192DR, in the city of Ust Natha, to Matron Deneve of House Derethoi, the Fourth house in Ust Natha of that year. She was preceded by a brother, Kieves, and two sisters, Malise and Evess. Her father was never known to her. In her youth, she was introduced to a slave by the name of Beryl, who influenced her enough that her death caused her to lose a certain amount of ambition. In the lee, she converted to the worship of his goddess, Sune, and left the Underdark with the assistance of a Silver Dragon which guards the passageways to the surface.

She spent a great deal of time erranting as the "Rose Gold Knight" throughout northern Tethyr, and southern Amn, though mostly within those mountains, before happening into a portal that led to Sigil. In Sigil, she accomplished several notable deeds over an eight month period, before the death of her wife caused her to temporarily retire to a small hamlet called Sundale, in the Dalelands of Aber-Toril, a town which she had saved herself and which she now considers to be her 'home'.

I am a peaceful promoter of art, love and beauty.

I will defend things of beauty by vanquishing the ugliness of evil, even cloaked in beautiful form.

I will perform a loving act each day and awaken it in others as true love will win over all.

I see beauty that radiates from the core. As a rough stone hides a diamond, a drab face may hide the heart of a saint.

I am a firehair and lead by example, not with my blade. Where my blade passes, a life is cut short, and the potential for beauty is lessened. :

When my blade must pass let it be with mercy and for love.

I accept surrender if my opponent can be redeemed—and I never assume that they cannot be. All things that live love beauty, and I will show beauty’s answer to them.

I liberate others to show the beauty of freedom and the freedom in beauty.

Relationships

Notable Planar Support

Temple of Sune, Sundale, Aber-Toril

Aside from rescuing the town from a possible drow incursion from below, Fadra returned to Sundale and assisted the Temple there with its day-to-day affairs while she recovered from injuries, both physical and mental, sustained in the Planescape. As result, she shook up a certain amount of the clergy, and now enjoys an official office in the Dalelands which includes several acolytes who assist her.

The Sensates, Sigil, Planescape

After losing her grace to injury and the resulting method of her healing, Fadra left the Planes-Militant to join the Sensates. Although shifting factions is generally frowned upon and often bars an individual from pursuing further office or promotion within the subsequent faction or factions, Fadra seems content to remain at the lowest rank thereof, making use of the memory-stones as necessary and consulting with them when she is at a loss.

The Eventide Clan, Tethyr, Aber-Toril

Fadra assisted her wife in rescuing a clan of kobolds from the thrall of a Tiamatian dragon. Although she declined to lead them herself after Rarlee's death, she still enjoys a measure of respect from the small clan, and periodically checks on them and cares for their well-being.

Enemies

Frazorza, Demon Prince of Blekhole, Abyss Level 221

During a failed attempt to fulfil a vow, Fadra invaded the 221st level of the Abyss, only to be met with Frazorza's advanced guards, and swiftly captured. Frazorza butchered her, took all of her belongings save her sword, and ransomed it back to her in exchange for submitting to demonic grafts, meant to make her shame known to all at a glance. To say that they are enemies is is a grand understatement, but Fadra learned the hard way, here, how little it is she can personally accomplish on the planes.

The Banefaith, Various

Fadra has interfered in their affairs in the planescape and, although she likely ranks as 'minor nuisance' in the grand scheme of things, she is nevertheless their enemy.

Known Deeds

Hediam and the Faith Keeper

Fadra is best known for leading a group of adventurers to capture the fallen Planetar, Hediam of the Golden Hills. Though they succeeded in capturing her, they were forced to seal her in a gem to be returned to Bytopia. Her sword, Kyorlen, was gifted to her by a representative of Garl Glittergold, and she carried it until it could be healed by Moradin's faithful, MacLasiar O'Fearghail.

Notable Quotations

"If I cut [your undead] down and beat you senseless. What exactly does that do for you? Would you stop? And killing you wouldn't solve the issue, either. It's not your life I'm after. Personally, I believe that everyone can give some beauty to the world."

"Selfishness leads down a lonely path, in the end."

"I don't consider my business private for the most part. I actually find the best way to confuse spies is just saying what you mean and not giving a damn."

"Figure out what you wish to do... nobody is ever truly certain that their plans are going to work. There is always going to be a distinct chance it unravels on you. But it will unravel a lot faster if you doubt your own decisions."

"Just like evil slips into certain cracks in our armor, so can kindness... although I think for some of these people I need an adamantine pry-bar."

"Follow thy heart... We're not paladins because we took oaths and carry magic swords. Nor do our gods hesitate to make their pleasure or displeasure known to us, should we stray."

"I hope if you can learn one thing from me, it will be that you are whole as you are, and that whatever mistakes you may have made in your life, you should still embrace yourself warmer than any other lover."

 === Personality Traits ===
-Fadra is typically patient, though lately she has trended towards a shorter temper, and a healthier self-reliance.  Inside of her is a struggle between her birth, and her morality, which has both been learned by experience and taught by rote.  She is exacting, sometimes easily frustrated, but overall a good-hearted elf.
+Fadra is, perhaps, the nicest dark elf most people ever meet. She takes the duties of her priesthood seriously, in that she makes a specific point of helping and caring for others, sometimes even at the cost of her own wealth or comfort.

If asked for advice on love or passion, her understanding is surprisingly technical and extends well beyond what most people consider to be either. Though she can come off as indifferent she sometimes amuses herself by embarrassing younger, or less experienced, Planeswalkers.
-Her time in Sigil has made her somewhat brooding, and further marring from a failed assault on Blekholm, a layer of the Abyss, has left her a little jittery and mistrustful of others, but so far her morality holds strong, even if her temper has not.  She no longer strongly believes in honeyed words, and though she will oftentimes try to convince people of her faith, she rarely does it through talking anymore.
-Fadra, a Sunite, trusts her heart oftentimes more than her own eyes, and never acts against it, caring not a whit for what others wish of her, which can be somewhat confounding.
 === ''Brief History'' ===
-Fadra was born in 1192DR, in the city of Ust Natha, to Matron Deneve of House Derethoi, the Fourth house in Ust Natha of that year.  She was preceeded by a brother, Kieves, and two sisters, Malise and Evess.  Her father was never known to her.

In the lee, she converted to the worship of his goddess, Sune, and left the Underdark with the assistance of a Silver Dragon which guards the passageways to the surface.
-In 1216DR, she attended the city's local temple of Lolth, but failed out two years later, after displaying an embarassing lack of aptitude.  To the eternal derision of her sisters, she was trained, instead, as a sargtlin, in the care of her older brother Kieves.
+She spent a great deal of time erranting as the "Rose Gold Knight" throughout northern Tethyr, and southern Amn, though mostly within those mountains, before happening into a portal that led to Sigil. In Sigil, she accomplished several notable deeds over an eight month period, before the death of her wife caused her to temporarily retire to a small hamlet called Sundale, in the Dalelands of Aber-Toril, a town which she had saved herself and which she now considers to be her 'home'.
-In 1284DR, around the time when she assumed nominal command of the House's slave-forces and lower Sargtlin, she broke the hands of a human craftsman named Beryl.  By 1299DR, he had become a permenant fixture in her chambers, where he produced artwork for the house, and entertained the young drowess as lover and confidant.  He was slain in 1303DR, by one of her sisters, prompting Fadra, not yet a full adult, to flee Ust Natha for the surface.
-Directed to the Dancers of Elistraee by the area's erstwhile peacekeeper, a silver dragon, Fadra realized her calling as a paladin by way of her mourning of Beryl, and thereafter spent her time with the Dancers upon the surface.
-She spent a great deal of time erranting as the "Rose Gold Knight", and eventually "Lady Rosegold", throughout northern Tethyr, and southern Amn, though mostly within those mountains.
-It was while she was clearing a portion of the upperdark of Gibberlings that she stumbled into a malfunctioning portal and ended up in Sigil.

-''Rarlee, Bondmate''
+''Temple of Sune, Sundale, Aber-Toril''
-:  To say that Fadra adores Rarlee is an understatement; when asked whether she would trade her long elven life for Rarlee's, she answered that she wouldn't be able to live with herself afterwards if she didn't, which is perhaps the most selfish thing she has ever claimed in public.  To Fadra, Rarlee is a source of energy, hope, and boundless curiousity, and she loves the little kobold without reserve.
+: Aside from rescuing the town from a possible drow incursion from below, Fadra returned to Sundale and assisted the Temple there with its day-to-day affairs while she recovered from injuries, both physical and mental, sustained in the Planescape. As result, she shook up a certain amount of the clergy, and now enjoys an official office in the Dalelands which includes several acolytes who assist her.
-''Barxire, of Mystra''
+''The Sensates, Sigil, Planescape''
-:  Barx and Fadra have a certain bond over their shared veneration of their deities, and Fadra admires his ability and experience on the subject a great deal. Although Barx rarely helps her directly, he often helps her plan, prepare, and execute her duties across the planes and serves as a fond, if fast, friend to unload her thoughts and ideas upon.  While not a superior priest in-faith, he serves as a wall against which she bounces philosophy off of, when she can.
+: After losing her grace to injury and the resulting method of her healing, Fadra left the Planes-Militant to join the Sensates. Although shifting factions is generally frowned upon and often bars an individual from pursuing further office or promotion within the subsequent faction or factions, Fadra seems content to remain at the lowest rank thereof, making use of the memory-stones as necessary and consulting with them when she is at a loss.
-Tasha, Sensate
+''The Eventide Clan, Tethyr, Aber-Toril''
-:  The sorceress that Fadra trusts, more or less above all other mages, Fadra is fond of Tasha's counsel and considers her to be a leal companion.  Although they rarely speak about much other than business, Fadra feels she is quite canny and relies on her expertise more often than not.
+: Fadra assisted her wife in rescuing a clan of kobolds from the thrall of a Tiamatian dragon. Although she declined to lead them herself after Rarlee's death, she still enjoys a measure of respect from the small clan, and periodically checks on them and cares for their well-being.
 === ''Enemies'' ===
-Queen Patricia Brena
-:  To say that Fadra loathes the girl would be understating the amount of pure, unfettered dislike that one being can feel for another.  Once, she felt that she might have been able to get through to her - but this is no longer the case. Fadra goes out of her way to avoid her, oftentimes far out of her way, and is loathe to speak in her presence.  Recent events have turned this relationship openly hostile, at least on Fadra's side of things.
 Frazorza, Demon Prince of Blekhole, Abyss Level 221
 :  During a failed attempt to fulfil a vow, Fadra invaded the 221st level of the Abyss, only to be met with Frazorza's advanced guards, and swiftly captured.  Frazorza butchered her, took all of her belongings save her sword, and ransomed it back to her in exchange for submitting to demonic grafts, meant to make her shame known to all at a glance.  To say that they are enemies is is a grand understatement, but Fadra learned the hard way, here, how little it is she can personally accomplish on the planes.

-Destruction of the Banefaith
-:  ALTHOUGH it is a stretch to say she started this fight, she finished it. Fadra led a company of adventurers and slew every priest in the outlands Banefaith temple, in retribution for repeated assassination attempts upon several planeswalkers, including Rarlee.  In doing so, she gained the assistance of a company of fallen Planes-Militant, who asked to be put to use against the Alliance as their final request.
