Dearest Cephandrius,
You might actually see this, you tricky bastard.
What am I supposed to do now? Part of me wants to cut a swath of blood and vengeance across the desert, and another wants only to run home and hide in Father's arms until the world is less cruel. Perhaps it is folly to believe that I can bring about the downfall of such a powerful, evil man. But how could I live with myself if I didn't try? I want to be the one to dig in the knife, to watch the light leave his eyes. When did I become so cruel? Cephandrius, I tortured someone. And I almost killed her, too--while she was helpless and bound in chains. How much is too much? How will I know if I cross the line? Or is it, as my mind tells me, that they all deserve it? My companions are no help whatsoever. The gnome is so simplistic in his worldview that I can hardly refrain from shaking him. It gives me migraines, watching him lecture people while I silently struggle for my soul.
I promised Father I would come back alive. I ask you, my dear friend, because I don't know what else to do: is there a way to come back still myself? Or is it too late for this flayed, mangled mess of a child?
You always did tend to turn up at the strangest times, and I pray you will again. I need you.

12:50 am - 23.01.2021Dearest Cephandrius,
[i]You[/i] might actually see this, you tricky bastard. What am I supposed to do now? Part of me wants to cut a swath of blood and vengeance across the desert, and another wants only to run home and hide in Father's arms until the world is less cruel....
04:50 am - 20.12.2020Oh, Songbird. I want so badly to find you, but I know you must make your own path. Stay alive. Keep this ring. Love you.
02:42 am - 17.12.2020Animal Messenger to Erlan
We found more of Zaff's victims. I have to do something. Dad, I'm so angry and so scared. We're leaving for Marquet today. Love you....
01:18 am - 17.12.2020Fuck.
12:48 am - 03.12.2020So, the book was useless.
Dad, I'm writing this, even though I know you won't see it, because I need someone to talk to. I [i]really[/i] thought this Book of the Return would get us somewhere, but it was a dead end. My companions are suspicious of me, naturally. Nothing fucking ...
12:47 am - 03.12.2020Where can I find some caffeine in this gods-forsaken tunnel???
08:51 pm - 31.10.2019Hope
Last night, in the midst of my... shall we say, artistic reverie, the ever-charming Miss Jaknuk decided to interrupt me with a most intriguing book she had found. I am rarely the type to pay mind to the more academic side of magic, but upon scanning this ...
12:47 am - 31.10.2019Anything can be art if you have the right attitude.
05:09 pm - 30.10.2019The list of amazing people following the adventures of Pasquelle.
Social
Birthplace
Whitestone
Current Residence
Syngorn, although lately she has preferred to wander
Contacts & Relations
Has somehow come to be liked by enough important people (including King Scanlanis) to have gained her post, but still faces quite a lot of casual (and more sinister) racism for being half-human. She's socially liberal and tends to criticize everyone enough that no side feels especially attacked. Her tendency towards subtlety and confounding her audience also helps--most are too thick to get the insult.
Honorary & Occupational Titles
Artist-in-Residence of the Royal Court of Syngorn
Wealth & Financial state
She is fairly affluent--between her position in the court and her father's military rank--but honestly most of what she spends in on supplies for her next wild idea. She's also a generous tipper.
Family Ties
Her father, Erlan is all she has had for most of her life. They are very close, and care deeply about each other. Pasquelle's tendency towards impulsive action (such as running away to go to Emon without telling him) sometimes causes friction, but she is trying to be better at communicating with him.
The death of her mother Rayna deeply effected Pasquelle. They had spent her early years traveling across Tal'dorei with a performing troupe, stopping by Syngorn to see Erlan whenever possible. That fateful night, she saw her entire world ripped away in blood, dust, and flame. She has never stopped missing Rayna, and recently has become obsessed with learning powerful enough resurrection magic to bring her back.
Also key in her upbringing was Siofra, her father's loyal wolfhound. During her "missing" years, Pasquelle could not be left alone, and so the dog often took over when Erlan could not be at her side. The dog still lives and is still one of the creatures she trusts most in the world.
As far as friends go, Pasquelle had many at the Academy (mostly theater kids, let's be real), but none that she allowed herself to get close to. Often she will come across her old friends in Syngorn, and they will pick up chatting like no time had passed. None of them really know the depth of her pain.
Religious Views
Follows the Moonweaver, just as her parents did. It's complicated, though... the Moonweaver saved her but not her mother.
Social Aptitude
Extremely charismatic and flirtatious. Might not always notice if she's overstepped, but once she does or it is pointed out, she will back down. Generally well-liked. Drops sick burns on people she thinks need to be taken down a notch.
Mannerisms
Tends to wink at almost everyone after saying anything. Always hard to tell if she is being serious or not. Frequently drops into a low, seductive voice.
Hobbies & Pets
Wants a pet! Maybe a blood hawk or a blink dog.
As far as hobbies... She likes to spend her free time prepping and putting on displays of "modern performance art" that tends towards the shocking. Lesbian romance novels, no matter the quality, are another favorite pastime. Due to Erlan's occupation and how much she accompanied him as a child, she also has a fondness for the forest around Syngorn. Oh, and flirting, of course.
