Personality

Xun'e is disciplined, straight-laced, and self-sufficient. She’s kind but not particularly nice, with a sense of realism that keeps her from reckless feats of derring-do, and the willingness to make hard decisions. People tend to find her intimidating, which she uses to her advantage, and most people don’t realize just how much she’s bluffing. She has a bad tendency to overuse detect thoughts on others out of an overabundance of caution, though she’s been making a point not to use the tadpole’s abilities on her own party.

Backstory

Xun'e was raised a capable but unremarkable soldier from a lesser drow family. With little ambition, she made no moves to advance her station, only trying to keep her head down and survive. after a surface raid gone wrong, she ended as the only survivor…once she’d finished off the remainder of her wounded sisters-in-arms to prevent them from reporting her as she finally fled the underdark. She caught the attention of Hyrsam, who became her patron, granting her abilities allowing her to live on the surface. Mostly, she’s gotten work doing odd jobs or working as a bodyguard.
