Profile
Vasxyra Zaughym
Vasxyra is bold, daring, and absolutely irreverent. She loves to drink and gamble and is always up for anything. Her partying can sometimes land her in hot water, but she's become quite good at talking herself out of trouble. She's charming and makes friends easy, but her greed and penchant for cheating means she makes enemies even easier. She doesn't want to leave anything untried or undone in her life. She's a thrill seeker who wants to see the world, live dangerously, and soak up every experience she can possibly have.

Past
Vasxyra grew up in the underdark. She was the youngest of three, and has two older brothers, who are twins. Her parents invested all of their time and energy into her brothers, leaving Vaszyra to run wild. She spent a lot of time getting into trouble, but nothing really got her parents to pay her much attention.
Present
As she grew older, she made a name for herself amongst the thieves of her city, and eventually, she moved herself to the world above ground. There she continued her heists, becoming one of the most notorious thieves in the world. She had many run ins with another infamous thief, Valrek Dinoryn, who became her rival and on again off again lover. She moves from city to city, leaving chaos in her wake, but she always seems to come out on top. One of these days, though, her past is going to catch up to her, and she's not going to know what hit her..
Future
Vasxyra eventually finds out she's pregnant and has to track down and tell Valrek. They decide to be more committed for the sake of their child. However, the two of them aren't the most responsible parents and Vasxyra could be found, more often than not, continuing her elaborate heists, though now accompanied by her partner and sometimes with their son in a sling. However, as he grew older, they started having him act as a look out. Eventually, though, Valasdriin was caught and jailed with his parents, and Vasxyra and Valrek realized things had to change. Vasxyra realized she was doing what she'd never wanted-- putting her child's interest to the side in favor of her own, just like her own mother had done to her by favoring her brothers and what they could do for her. She and Valrek took their child and moved to the Underdark, where they could be more settled for his safety. They lived well there, though not without the stigma of being "new money" among the wealthy and the rumors swirling about their ill-gotten fortune.
- Vasxyra has the charlatan background.
- Her sternum tattoo allows her to cast Disguise Self once per day, and can be moved and reshaped at will.
- Eventually, Vasxyra has three grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Her family tree can be found here.
Valrek is Vasxyra's greatest rival. Since Vasxyra moved topside, she and Valrek have been constantly after the same prizes. They have a complicated relationship, teetering constantly on the edge of romantic. Though they never married, they finally settle into something more committed. They have a son, Valasdriin, together.
Valasdriin is Vasxyra's only child with her partner, Valrek. Both his parents are thieves, so his upbringing wasn't always stable. Eventually, when Valasdriin was around 55 (~11 human age), the family settled down a little bit more and moved back to the Underdark. He transitioned when he was a teenager and eventually he and his husband would become father of the Oussrret twins' mother.
Nadas and Viconia are Vasxyra's parents. They never paid her much mind, always so focused on her older brothers. She caused a lot of trouble, attempting to catch their eye, but never managing to draw them away from their golden children. Vasxyra left Adalsteinn because she was determined to prove her worth, and knew nothing she did there would matter to them.
Nymraien and Dymeth are Vasxyra's older twin brothers. Vasxyra was never particularly close with her older brothers. Being twins, they were always together, and being boys, their parents showed them a lot of favoritism. She resents them a bit, but not near as much as she does her parents.
Purple Reign (The Benevolent Shadow)
Purple Reign, known to most as the Benevolent Shadowm was an adventuring party Vasxyra traveled with for a period of time. After receiving a summons from the Empress, Vasxyra is united with several other chosen adventurers to slay a dragon plaguing the city. The party consists of: Filfaro, a cleric; Hilas, a warlock; Barry, an artificer; and and Grik't, a sorcerer. They are accompanied by Cress, a bard.
Les'vyldax and Lar'myraufein Oussrret
Les'vyldax and Lar'myraufein are Vasxyra's great grandchildren. The twins are the children of Vasxyra's son's younger daughter. She died when they were quite young, but she loved to tell them stories. Les'vyldax takes after her with his reckless attitude.
