Ysmyrelda Starr

• Ysmyelda uses a Handgun-issue Cloak of the Conspirator, capable of transforming into a flock of ravens to make a quick getawy from any situation. As a result of her first death one of the three ravens now glows a golden color. 
• Ysmyrelda obtained an Instrument of the Bards in the early 920's crafted by @Duke

Ysmyrelda was born in the farming town of Rochelle, displaying a passion for music and performance from a young age. She abandoned the family business in the 840's and traveled west to Havre to hone her talents as a street performer. But politics interrupted her fledgling career in the capital, and before long she found herself playing at all the bars and taverns in the shipping town of Brei.   Only after the disastrous events at Marquis Vechian's will reading in 850 would she return to Havre, using her wealth and alliance with Jupiter Talzerine to forge a criminal enterprise. Their lucrative relationship was great until it wasn't, a decade of friendly collaboration ending with Ysmyrelda frozen in time for half a century. The mystery surrounding Jupiter's motives for the betrayal would be a driving force in Ys' decision to join the GHG, seeking the power and contacts needed to confront her old friend.   Ys and Phaedra started out as close allies working together in the Fortunate Five, performing together at every tavern they came across while hunting ghosts in the Treeleaf Union. But as Phaedra's wild magic became more and more unpredictable Ys started to distance herself from her college friend, siding more and more often with Zan'kiri's cold pragmatism. She would assist the necromancer in his plot to kill Jezebeth Rahal in the Imperial Marshes, pilfering through Jezebeth's belongings and forging letters to cover up the tiefling's disappearance.   Despite the drama of the team's first couple months, Ysmyrelda remained a member of the FF and joined them on their long-term contract for Chusei University in Sanjuro City. Ys managed to deftly negotiate with Monomakh the Foreseer and rescued Reetma from the ancient archmage's lair in less than twenty-four hours, gaining some snazzy hand jewelry in the process. In the Koulan Forests she helped defeat Ownka Ramm and Theo Vechian in the same day, the latter being a source of Ys' hatred dating back to the Marquis' disastrous will reading. But she didn't leave the battle without some scars: although quickly revived by Windred Ozlow, Ys experienced her first death after her lifeforce was drained away by one of Theo's minions.   In between adventures Ysmyrelda took the time to make friends with people outside of the FF, befriending the quirky gnome Loopmottin and encouraging her to pursue her dreams of a train-free world so long as she didn't resort to terrorism. Through a chance encounter with the God of Garments Leo Mancini Ys became a member of the prestigious Handgun thieves guild, pulling heists with the Red Whisper and meeting with Ryota to plot the heist of the century on Chusei's Museum of Natural Wonders. If the Handgun continued to profit and grow, maybe she could use its resources to finally confront Jupiter and put an end to her criminal empire.   Ysmyrelda always found the time to perform with her violin, stealing the show during a battle of the bands concert in the Way of the Range. With Zan'kiri's help she slayed a monster and delivered the creature's spirit to the legendary bard Duke Mithril, who used it to craft an enchanted instrument for the adventurer.    In 921 she helped the FF defeat the archdemon Gray Hat and his minions at Chateau Gruyere. Later that same year she attended the wedding of Windred and Reetma Ozlow.   In 935 as part of an assignment for the Handgun she stole 25GP from an adventuring group in Havre as payback for the group's interference in the thieves guild's operations. The Co-Questers relentlessly pursued her across the city, shattering one of her kneecaps until she returned the stolen money and shared the location of the city's Handgun hideout.
