Ralinda is perhaps one of the worst examples of Xeen's followers to date. Or best if you ask another Xeenite that happens to know her.
Her birth alone seemed to tell of her intended future, coming as it did in early Decilar of 1361, roughly nine months after Xeen's Birthday celebration that year, though no one seems to remember whom her parents were. She was raised among several families, hopping from place to place, all believers of Xeen, and mostly magicians as well. Spoiled from the start, she quickly learned that with a little pouting or a smile and a wink, she could get almost whatever she wanted. For those things that she couldn't get with charm, magic and treachery proved effective in getting the rest. Always a trickster among her friends, she took up a habit of laying traps to embarrass them at just the right times for the best laugh. People started to expect this of her, so she took alot of time to get creative, also taking joy in taking complex things apart and putting them back together.
Everyone viewed her as a playful, sneeky, and pretty girl, but this is only what she let them see, for she was much more. She can make small traps for teasing her friends, but she left a beartrap out for a hunter's son that made fun of her when she had freckles at one point in her youth. She was never suspected to have done it, and having gotten away with it, she felt exhilarated, and she liked that feeling. Though she loves all magic, she especially holds necromancy as useful for it's efficiency at doing bad things when they are called for, and though the dead are ugly, they are very useful. Though not a big drinker, she lacked a certain amount of common sense anyway from her take-what-she-wants youth, and she nevered learned to just let something go if it took her fancy, or struck a nerve. When a neighboring girl deliberately tried to draw Ralinda's friends away from her, the girl seemed to get sick very quickly, and as a caring person(supposedly), Ralinda spent time with her to take care of her and help make her meals and such, all the while quietly poisoning her for trying to take what was hers. Getting bored, she decided to actually help the girl out of her induced illness, and soon she was fully recovered and more vibrant than ever. Her skills at manipulating people helped get her little bits of secrets here and there on just about everyone; from the farmer down the road, to a cleric of Toran that was thought to be the finest of the fine.
Recently, however, she was suspected of seducing a married man, but no one believed it except the wife, who left the husband, who, in turn, got into a drunken brawl one night and was knifed to death. Rather than deal with this bothersome trouble any longer, she up and left without a word. This took everyone by suprise, even though she had been planning it for months anyway. Coercing a passing metalsmith trader to take her along, she helped him by acting as salesperson for a little while, which brought much business to him for which he was quite grateful. Starting to bore once again, she bid him farewell for being nice to her and decided to go it alone.
There is a world to see, friends to make, things to take, and she isn't getting any younger, so why not start having fun now. |
