Story
Pre-Campaign
Raised by her single father in the Druidic village of Featherhaven, this small town is all Idris Mel Moonbeam has ever known. Idris always had strange and vivid dreams. Being surrounded by many magic users and fey energy, this wasn't seen as particularly unusual to the people around them. What was unusual, however, was the fact that her dreams occasionally predicted the future. This often caused her confusion, as she sometimes mistook them for reality and vice versa. They stopped sharing about them at an early age to avoid recieving unwarrented advice or concern. She isn't too keen on people making a spectacle out of her, and just wants to be herself without being bothered for it.
Their father is a gentle owlin sorcerer who is part of her hometown’s coven of witches, which operates as Featherhaven’s unofficial governing body. Growing up, Idris would see (but seldom properly meet) many people who visited their father for advice or magical assistance.
One of Featherhaven's coven members- an old owlin woman named Seline- gifted Idris her signature sleeping mask after hearing about her odd dreams. Upon wearing it to bed, they were visited by Zybilna in a dream. That night her pact was formed, and she accepted by taking the pendant left on her bedside table by the archfey once she woke. For once, they felt understood. That warm presence has stayed with them since, although it has faded in the past year and a half.
Personality
Personality
Idris has a strong inclination to help, which is partially due to their nature as a person, but also influenced by their environment. Because Featherhaven is a small town, everyone was expected to help the community in some way from a young age, and this cultural belief is something that Idris has taken to heart. When Idris was around 13, they had a dream that someone was lost in the surrounding jungle. They rushed outside in the dead of night to help, and succeeded in delivering the person to safety. This was her first taste of adventure.
Idris discovered early on that they had an affinity for helping people sleep, whether that be by making herbal teas, singing lullabies, hypnosis, or using her warlock magic. By 16, townsfolk began seeking her aid if they or anyone they knew was having trouble sleeping. They quite enjoy helping people feel relaxed and safe in general.
