Eden of Reverie

Tiefling / Bard

Submitted character story

College of Spirits Bard
26 y/o Levistus Tiefling

Eden is on the soft-spoken side, though she will speak up and stay true to her values when the time comes. Her first impression is often a strange, quiet woman, who loses herself entirely in haunting but beautiful melodies when she plays. She is the sort of Bard that is not sought out, but those who hear her play and sing find themselves almost hypnotized by her; in a way, her songs are bittersweet and there's a sort of familiarity that embraces listeners as if enjoying the music with someone they once knew. 

Though her reveries are highly regarded, her social life has always been a bit precarious since her parents dropped her off with her aunt. The connection she had with spirits was something her parents feared, something they attributed to the infernal aspects of her lineage. Her aunt welcomed her with open arms and saw Eden for what she truly was and showed her that the strange connection she felt to the dead could be used for good. She could use her music as a bridge: offer her voice to those that could not say their final goodbyes, and lend her music to those that still grieved. 

As with grief, her music is forgotten slowly over time, but the careful tenderness it shows to those who truly listen forever lingers.

To those who take the time to get to know her, Eden would share that the majority of her childhood and adult life was spent with her aunt in the Northdark (Underdark domain north and east of the city of Waterdeep).

Eden wears her heart on her sleeve and finds purpose in helping the downtrodden, the lost, and the grieving with her unique gifts; she is incredibly loyal and will enjoy playing peaceful- albeit haunting- music on her harp for anyone who might appreciate it.
