Umbra

Umbra is a young Warlock of a trickster god, with some bardic practice. She was left at the goddess' monastery by her mother, as she felt she couldn't care for Umbra with her line of work as an assassin.

As she grew, Umbra grew more and more fond of animals and any magical creatures, intent on befriending as many of them as she can. Once she was old enough, she set out into the world to see more of it, and find out who she wants to be. She befriends a group of other adventurers, and the team quickly grow closer and into more of a family than just a group of random people. During their travels, Umbra gets pinned and nearly eaten by a griffin, but she manages to instead make a deal with it to feed it from time to time. She's turned into a wereraven by the Crimson sash, an organization that gathers and seals dangerous magical artifacts, when she joins the group.

After saving the flying city of Valderin from certain doom with her friends, now named the Wings of Valderin, Umbra and one of the group members, Steady, set out to adventure together as the team splits to pursue their own goals. Umbra, like the animal lover she is, wants to find the griffin she'd "befriended" and Steady comes along as extra protection for the young tiefling. Upon finding the griffin's nest, a bloody scene awaits the two adventurers. Villagers, who wanted to be rid of the man-eating griffin, dead. The griffin, protecting its eggs from the people, dead. By some miracle, one egg is left in good condition. Umbra takes it upon herself to hatch and be a parent to the baby griffin, whom she names Lexmir.
