A whisper in the dark, a shadow slipping through moonlit alleys, Min'Lara Ken'urden is both a mystery and a force of quiet rebellion. Born in the Principality of Jordaine, she has spent over three centuries walking the line between survival and freedom, carving her own path through the world. Min'Lara was born the second child to a middle-class Drow family in the city of Neveral, a place where intrigue and ambition often dictate one's fate. From an early age, she proved to be as elusive as she was clever, slipping past watchful eyes and picking apart the very fabric of society's expectations. While others sought power through noble ties or mercantile wealth, Min'Lara chose the underground, finding kinship among thieves, outcasts, and those who moved unseen. Despite her rogue's upbringing, she held fast to her faith in the Seldarine, particularly in Eilistraee, the Dark Maiden. Unlike many Drow who embraced ruthless ambition, Min'Lara found solace in the teachings of the moon goddess, dancing beneath the stars, reveling in personal freedom, and rejecting the darker influences of her kin. Yet, her faith did not make her meek. She was never one to kneel before authority, and her chaotic nature led her to disrupt more than one power structure within Neveral. Now at 342 years old, Min'Lara is no naive cutpurse. She is a seasoned thief, a master of agility and deception, with skills honed through countless heists and near-death escapes. Her razor-sharp reflexes and natural grace make her a ghost in the streets, and few can match her precision in combat. Her ambidexterity allows her to wield weapons with deadly efficiency, striking before her enemies even realize they've been marked. Despite her outlaw reputation, Min'Lara is not without a moral code. She sees the corruption of nobility and the oppression of the common folk, and she works from the shadows to disrupt those who abuse their power. Whether through sabotage, theft, or the occasional public humiliation of a noble, she takes great pleasure in toppling the arrogant, even if it means putting herself at risk. Min'Lara is a paradox, a Drow who walks between darkness and light, a rogue who worships a goddess of redemption. She does not seek glory or riches, only freedom, for herself and for those trapped under the weight of the world's expectations. Her gray gender identity further reflects this duality, neither bound by rigid roles nor beholden to societal norms. In Neveral, she is known by many names:"The Moonshadow","The Laughing Phantom", and to the guards, simply "a damned nuisance." She is both feared and admired, but few truly know her beyond the fleeting glimpses they catch before she vanishes into the night. In a world where loyalty is often bought and sold, Min'Lara Ken'urden remains untamed, a flickering shadow beneath the moon, dancing between law and chaos. |
