My next set of adventures involves a traveling priest (d&d cleric) in the forgotten realms setting.
She's LG and worships Kelemvor, and mostly travels alone, occasionally taking on assignments from her old tutors as an exorcist.
Story's sketch:
From the day she was born, everyone was worried with her skin's unnatural white tone (similar to this (http://www.redcathedral.be/aztek-tv/gallery/review/2008/10-oktober/15/cthulhutechvademecumwhitexenomorph.JPG)). This was always a concern to her due to prejudice, gossip and her parents' superstitions.
A few years after her father died, she got infatuated with a traveling merchant and left to marry him. She was never welcome in her new home's city, but her husband's father was kind to her and life was good. Eventually she had a son with her husband, too.
On the day the kid completed 1 year old things went bad. She was awakened by a scream of rage that was interrupted by a gurgle. She ran to her son's bedroom to find both the kid and her father-in-law dead, stabbed by her husband. He attacked her and she only survived because he missed and lost his footing, and she managed to push him downstairs.
When other servants arrived, the scene they saw was of the woman in bloody vests, examining the kid as if not believing it died.
They assumed she was the murderer, and the only thing she could do was to flee with the kid's corpse.
Later that day she buried her son and wandered hopeless.
Eventually she met a priest of kelemvor whose wisdom gave her something to cling to, giving her comfort and purpose.
--------------
Inbetween that and the game's beginning, nearly 20 years have passed, and she never discovered why her husband did those things, and didn't try to discover a second time because she feared the populace would try to kill her.
Her husband's motivations are left unclear on purpose.
She travels without settling for too long anywhere, attending to whatever duties a priest usually has in the cities she stops by.
And most importantly, I am unsure on parts of her personality. The only things I'm sure of is that
1) she'll have a weary countenance whenever she is doing her priestly duties with the dead
2) her care for her duties is subtle, but unswerving
3) she is pleasing to casually chat, and is open, if ineloquent about her past.
But how does she view the daily life? How does she spend her free time? Did she get over the fear/prejudice most folk have because of her odd skin tone?
