# Lady Rychell Qinrel > [!overview] > ![[62_Rychell-Qinrel_token.png|200]] > > [campaign:: [[Two and a Half Strahds|Two and a Half Strahds]]] > [player:: [[Leah Ferguson]]] ## Introduction Among nobles, she is formally known as Lady Rychell, the youngest daughter of [[Lord Aslandial Qinrel]]. But unless the setting benefits from her status being known while she is out wandering, she prefers just to be known as Rychell. She has an eager curiosity about the world beyond her home settlement in [[Evereska]], having spent most of her youth reading about adventure and cultures in books instead of experiencing it first hand. She is a [[Elf (High)|high elf]] from a [[Noble|noble]] birth. This is evident in the quality of clothes she wears, even if the style is more plain and less ornate than other elves. Even though as an elf, she would be considered attractive, Rychell is self-conscious about her appearance. She always chooses to wear high buttoned collars and covered shoulders. Rychell wears a gold moon pendant with a white crystal embedded in it in remembrance of her grandmother, the Lady Mirel, which she typically keeps tucked under her fine clothes. While her clothes are made of high quality fabrics and stitching, she prefers to dress more plainly. She wears a small gold Qinrel signet ring. At first glance, Rychell may appear to be shy. But she is observant, and has learned much from her highly political and ambitious family, even if she is much more reserved and a wall-flower by comparison. But being young and sheltered from a lot of the realities of nobility politics, she is also deeply naive which is one of the reasons she wanted to get out and explore. Before arriving in Barovia, she was able to do small bits of magic… more like parlour tricks than anything useful. Despite being out adventuring on her own for the past decade and a half, her wandering has been relatively peaceful. Sure, there have been a couple of sticky situations on the road, but nothing that a smile and a persuasive conversation to keep her out of harms way. Her friendly and youthful, almost naive questions, has kept her safe in the past. Rychell may appear shy especially given her slender diminutive frame, but she has a quiet confidence behind her. ***Publish note:*** *sorry… a lot of content is hidden about this character since it hasn’t been revealed in game yet.* %% As a [[Elf (High)|high elf]] from a [[Noble|noble]] birth, Rychell has learned a thing or two about diplomacy and persuasion. But as the second youngest from the large Qinrel family, being neither high up the list for inheritance nor the favourite like her [[Rychell Qinrel#Children of Lord Aslandial Qinrel and Lady Malquis Teinithra|younger brother]], she has also learned the fine art of blending into the background. Both have served her well on her travels and exploration, where she has done her best to escape from elven high society. Having left home at the tender age of 101, she has spent the past fifteen years out exploring the world she has read so much about in books, eager to see and experience as much as she can before she’ll be expected to extend the Qinrel family's social standing through a politically advantageous marriage. While she is eager to explore the world for herself, she has always felt a strong sense of obligation, both to her family, and to use her standing to help others beneath her. Rychell may appear shy especially given her slender diminutive frame, but she has a quiet confidence. She is self-conscious of her appearance, always choosing to wear high buttoned collars and covered shoulders to mask the hereditary golden scales she was born with that mar the back of her neck and shoulder blades. The last Qinrel in her family with the scales was her grandmother on her father's side, [[Lady Mirel]]. Rychell wears her grandmother's gold moon pendant with a white crystal embedded in it in remembrance of her, which she keeps tucked under her fine clothes. While her clothes are made of high quality fabrics and stitching, she prefers to dress more plainly. She wears a small gold Qinrel signet ring. [[Lady Mirel]] had been known for her great arcane abilities, but like most of the Qinrels she took very little interest in Rychell while she was alive. When she passed naturally at the age of 775, she left Rychell a small box containing her moon necklace and a simple handwritten note: "For my golden grandchild, for whenever you're ready to shine." Rychell hasn't taken the necklace off since [[Lady Mirel|Lady Mirel's]] funeral, sixty years ago. Her father is [[Lord Aslandial Qinrel]], a member of the ruling council of Evereska, who serves under High Lord Erlan Duirsar. He is a notable noble due to his military career, and had fought alongside the Duchess’ great grandfather, [[Duke Conan Daggerford]]. He had saved his life in battle, which created a lasting bond between the noble families. Rychell would have been born around 1375 DR. Rychell has only ever seen her home settlement, Evereska, as clouded in a protective mist very similar to Barovia. The intent was to keep the Elven city hidden and protected from outsiders. But the main difference would be that Evereska would have been a livelier community than the more sullen Barovian culture. ### Session 1 Introduction Rychell has traveled along the Sword Coast, taking on odd jobs along the way to experience working with artisans to meet new people beyond elves. In her letters home, she leaves out her tales of working with bakers and sign-makers, and instead focuses on noble soirees along the way. It has not been uncommon to be invited for social gatherings among nobility on Rychell's travels, which she has typically attended out of courtesy and obligation. Her travels have lead her to [[Daggerford]], where she is staying as guest to the ruler and family friend, [[Duchess Morwen Daggerford]] as she explores the Sword Coast. The Qinrels and Daggerfords relationship stretches back generations on the human side, as her father, [[Lord Aslandial Qinrel]], once saved the life of Duchess’ great grandfather, [[Duke Conan Daggerford]]. When the Duchess told Rychell about a dinner she was hosting for three others she has invited to Daggerford to discuss the [[Vistani|mysterious group of outsiders]], Rychell asked to attend. More like she begged and pleaded with the Duchess, who finally relented. Rychell has a strong curiosity, and this dinner seems like a good opportunity to meet new and interesting people. After all, if the Duchess is asking these individuals to Daggerford to assist with the mysterious group of outsiders on the outskirts of the city, Rychell figures they must be interesting. %% %% ### Arcane Focus Her grandmother's pendant necklace: a gold moon pendant with an embedded white crystal. ### Fears - Being the centre of attention. - Small spaces. - Squirrels. --- From [DungeonMaster.com](https://dungeonsmaster.com/2010/11/27-questions/) 1.
