About
Wister is an aasimar who would rather be anything else- she has renounced her deva's blessing and left her home & family far behind to carve out a new life for herself. Through a chance encounter, she forged a pact with a fae for powers of her own, and traveled to the Emerald Frontier at her patron's encouragment. She now travels with a ragtag group of...not quite heroes, but definitely not villains, working to figure out the twists and turns of the ever-shifting landscape, and the people who may or may not be pulling the strings behind all of it.
Design
- Wister looks like a normal human most of the time- she tries very hard to hide any of her aasimar features.
- Her eyes are more gold than golden brown, though it's only noticeable in direct light.
- Her look is basically goth, but ye olde fantasy setting about it.
- She has a 4-pointed star shaped chunk of obsidian set into the back of her right hand.
- Wister has plans of getting more piercings, but for now she just has a simple silver stud in the lower lobe of each ear.
- In her fallen aasimar form, Wister's eyes turn solid black and she gains skeletal, ghostly wings.

"What do you mean you didn't get an answer? He can't lie! Go back and ask again!"
Wister is a very forthright person who prefers practical solutions over drawn out, emotional chit chat. She tends to keep her feelings and past as private as possible, but has no qualms spilling others' secrets for her own gains. For the most part, she's level-headed, but she can quickly lose patience with polite, meaningless conversations, and she struggles with keeping her cool while faced with any references to her past. While she is the leader of her adventuring party in name, Wister tends to stay quiet and let others - mostly Zeke, honestly - do the emotional heavy lifting that comes with leadership.

Fey Presence
Wister can draw on the power of her patron and project the beguiling and fearsome presence of the fey to cause anyone standing too close to her to become charmed or frightened by her- though she usually chooses frightened.
Eldritch Blast
As one of the most powerful incantations she received from forging her warlock pact, Wister can strike foes with a crackling stream of energy. She's empowered it in both strength and distance as she's grown into a more powerful warlock.
Healing Hands
Once a day, Wister can heal a small amount of HP to either herself or an ally. Dues to this being part of her aasimar heritage, Wister chooses not to make use of it- despite how useful it would be.
Resistances
Wister has a few resistances due to her aasimar heritage- reduced damage from any necrotic or radiant damage.
Summary
Wister was born in the Rovia Kingdom to a comfortably well off human family, though the fortuitous nature of her birth did wonders to elevate their standing in the community. She was blessed by a Deva and born an aasimar, and her parents made sure to raise her appropriately. Wister had a very strict and secluded upbringing, with a strong focus on religious and divine studies, as well as the importance of morality and being a well-behaved person. Every aspect of her childhood was meticulously planned to prepare her for her divine fate, as decreed by her Deva: to fight in a holy war and die in service, in order to further the divine agenda.
As Wister got older, her strict lifestyle began to chafe, and she tried to question the rather tragic fate her Deva had decided for her. Her parents repeatedly told her to stop complaining about her important destiny - celestial beings just know best, obviously - and it drove a wedge between them. With no one around her to trust, Wister learned to hold in her feelings to escape any further arguments. She eventually became too frustrated with her lack of autonomy and fled from her family and hometown.
Becoming a Warlock
Now without a predestined life to follow, Wister wanted nothing more than to make a new one for herself- one that was completely different than how she'd been forced to live before. She had been forbidden from just about any sort of fun and kept away from most people, and so Wister set out to explore what she'd been missing out on. Along the way, she crossed paths with Faedes, a fey who offered her powers of own, unrelated to the so-called blessing of a demanding deva. He wanted very little in exchange: for Wister to go to the Emerald Frontier and do a small favor for him once they met up again.
Eager to break any reliance on her aasimar heritage, Wister agreed, deciding that the bargain seemed fair enough. She set out to secure passage to the Emerald Frontier as soon as possible, meeting Bellor while trying to learn more about where she was headed. They decided to try to put more of a crew together, since the Frontier was known to be dangerous, but full of opportunity. Zeke was attracted with promises of adventure and riches - as tabaxi frequently are - and with him came Clancy, an illegal warforged who looks like a human child.

Moodboard
Relationships
Zeke
party member | bard of lore
Wister doesn't always appreciate his boundless enthusiasm or emotional warmth, but she considers him trustworthy and reliable anyway. Zeke is the only person in the group that knows she is an aasimar, and his ability to keep that secret has brought them at least a little closer.
Clancy
party member | berserker barbarian
If Zeke is the heart of the group, then Clancy is the adorably dangerous child that makes everyone put at least a little effort into being decent guardians. Wister isn't great with children or at being nurturing, but she likes Clancy well enough.
Bellor
party member | rogue scout
Wister likes Bellor's straightforward attitude and she has a lot of respect for his ability to get shit done mostly right. She trusts him to have everyone's backs in both fights and tricky political situations.
Lord Sid
occasional party member & fellow warlock
Wister still isn't quite sure what to make of Lord Sidhion Haverson, but she has enjoyed meeting a fellow warlock- especially one with a similar pact and vastly different abilities. She thinks that his inability to lie is a huge drawback, though.
Owldragon
familiar
Wister's owldragon familiar, which she uses to communicate with Faedes when necessary. She's never had any sort of pet before, so she's slowly figuring it out along the way- which should hopefully include naming them sometime soon.
Faedes
warlock patron
The fae that is the source of Wister's powers. She's starting to get the feeling that there's more at play than he originally said...
