Where is home? What is home? - **The Party:** - Fights on the front line, commenting on [[Dio Eldwynair]] strange unarmed style and Kalis’s roguish tactics. - One of the few besides Dio and [[Constantine]] who speaks Elvish. - Has shared conversations in Elvish at length with Dio and [[Constantine]], most notably during a dinner with [[Tarak]] after returning his wife’s talisman. #### Notable Incidents: - **Rogue Kobold Ambush:** Climbed a 25 ft cliff barehanded mid-combat for a vantage point, narrowly avoiding a boulder trap before [[Constantine]] shot the kobold preparing it. - **Divine Mystery:** hen using Lay on Hands, a flicker of darkness/black energy appeared, hinting at something unusual in her power. - **Combat Record:** ~~Rarely if ever bloodied~~; consistently deals strong melee damage. *We've had to heal Marcel a bunch and she's healed herself a bunch* - **Is water wet?:** Marcel laid down in the river as we were fighting cultists across the shore in [[Greenest]], I'm still not sure why... Maybe it was to surprise them? #### UNKNOWNS: - Why she is not currently at ’[[Princess Anya Valebright]]'s side? - The true nature of her Lay on Hands’ dark energy? - Her exact type of tiefling heritage? - Whether her faith and Oath of the Crown stem directly from [[House Valebright – The Royal Family]] or from a deeper creed?
