Despite their significant age difference—Cadran being just 36 with little life experience and Faral'Ra Baivneth being a 312-year-old veteran in her field—Faral was drawn to his youthful enthusiasm for learning. This attraction led them to challenge societal expectations and marry in 1440 DR, which resulted in their banishment from Sshamath. A year later, on the 21st of Ches, they welcomed their daughter, Naldela.
At a young age, Naldela proved an extraordinary pupil of storm magic. Faral took over the training of her daughter over many years, during which her father died at the age of 71 on Marpenoth 27, 1473 DR in the circle of the family. With the loss of her father and role model, she struggled with high levels of aggression and determination, forever altering her abilities.
The loss of her mother in 1487 DR drove her into further turmoil. Her emotional instability changed her powers in Kyone veldrin, causing them to twist and distort, but they did not lose any potency.
She is timid, most times reserved, and only trusts personal information to a few individuals.
Most only know superficial information about her, such as:
For people closer to her, she likes to share more information, such as:
In contrast to the typical drow's dark complexion, Naldela's skin tone is lighter, a legacy from her human father. Her eyes, though pitch-black, due to a malformation, unusually expose soft purple when exposed to light.
While her mother, Faral, imparted drow traditions and symbolic language, her father focused on teaching her common. Naldela also learned common elven and undercommon during her schooling.
Although she typically spoke drow, her encounters with Ykril, who only spoke common, led her to teach him drow, as she held a disdain for the common tongue.
Her second name, Isur'Ra, was given to her in honor of her maternal grandmother, Isur'Ra Baivneth.
Race: Half-Drow
Born: Ches 21, 1441 DR
Eye color: Pitch black (full eyes)
Height: 1.73 m (5ft 8.11in)
Weight: 59.8 kg (131.84lb)
Following the destruction of her previous attire on Hammer 14th, 1489 DR, Naldela crafted a new outfit focused on speed and mobility by Alturiak 12th, 1489 DR. This ensemble, constructed from the finest Drider silk with Mythral accents, prioritizes agility. The cloak and skirt, the flowing elements of the ensemble, incorporate fine, soft Mythral strips. When electrified, these strips harden for a short time, providing a temporary boost in protection.
In the city of Undrek'Thoz, a wizard from House Fyvrek'Zek transformed Naldela's cloak. Imbued with the magic of a lesser Piwafwi, the garment now grants her heightened powers of stealth and concealment.
Naldela also redesigned the Orb, replacing it with a pair of inconspicuous crystals mounted on the backs of her hands. These crystals, smaller and lighter than the original Orb, can each hold a single spell, or item.
If I had to describe her personality in a song, the best match would give Blood Moon from End Of Silence feat. Alexa Ray.
Naldela is sometimes an enigma, much like the song "Blood Moon" by End Of Silence feat. Alexa Ray. It begins with a hint of softness, a whisper of the romantic soul that resides beneath her guarded exterior. But then, the music shifts, mirroring the losses that had hardened her resolve. Like the relentless power of a storm, her determination fueled her magic, making her a force to be reckoned with. Yet, despite the turmoil, there remained a core of unwavering strength, just like the song's consistent driving energy. It was this steadfastness that defined Naldela, making her a survivor in a world that often sought to break her.
