# Arya Emberlight
> [!overview]
> parent:: [[62.02.04 PCs]]
## Summary
- [[Half-Elf]]
- [[Cleric]] and follower of the [[Morninglord]]
- Had been overseeing [[Duchess Morwen Daggerford]]‘s health in [[Daggerford]] when she joined the party[^1]
- Vivid red hair
- Apparently likes to set things on fire!
- Has a small mouse named Jade, who hides in her cloths as she journeys
- When Rychell thought she had died, she took Jade to protect them.[^2]
- It’s very likely Jade died while Strahd tortured the party at Castle Ravenloft.[^3]
- Arya is an orphan[^4] who grew up on the streets. She was taken in on a dwarven father figure, [[Torgrim Emberlight]].[^5]
- That’s where her last name comes from; we don’t know anything about her biological family.
## Significant Moments
- Arya was killed at [[St. Andral's Church]] in [[Vallaki]] by one of Strahd’s wives, [[Ludmilla Vilisevic]], while the party was trying to restore the bones of St. Andral.[^6]
- She was brought back to life by the [[Abbot]] at the request of [[Strahd von Zarovich]][^8]
- She triggered a trap in Strahd’s study at Castle Ravenloft, causing the party to be captured and tortured over six days.[^9]
- She and Rychell were bitten by Strahd, and almost completely drained of blood.[^10] Rychell narrowly survived this encounter.[^11]
