Personality Description:

Le-kzen is the sweetest, cutest and most darling sweetheart you can ever come across. She might not be the most outgoing person around but she is very polite, supportive and friendly – a person you would want to keep as a close friend.

Don’t fall for it. Le-kzen calculates everything she does, from how she emotionally manipulates Ardos into loving her to how she manages school and business. She knows how to manipulate words and emotions to bring out her desired reactions. She’s shrewd, cunning, incredibly intelligent and absolutely ruthless with her manipulation tactics.

Le-kzen is very interested in politics and the arcane because she’s aspiring to become more powerful so nobody would be able to harm her family, and also because they’re challenging and exciting. Mental puzzles, philosophy, math and riddles – things that generally require a lot of thought – tend to be things Le-kzen really likes.

Still, outward Le-kzen and inward Le-kzen are not mutually exclusive. Le-kzen selects people she finds interesting and/or useful and latches onto them. It’s not uncommon that she would grow genuine fondness for them even if they never find out what she's really like. While she sees her brother as nothing but a stubborn traditionalist and an airheaded jockey, it could be argued that she loves him as much as he loves her and she wants to take care of him as much as possible.

Le-kzen has minor depression and paranoia due to being involved with backroom deals back in Eryndlyn. She believes that one of these days, Lolth will find her and her brother and kill them. She has a hard time trusting other people because of this. She lives her life wary of people that might stab her in the back.

Powers:

Magic: Le-kzen has a natural affinity for magic and she trained herself well even if she never got a proper education back in Eryndlyn. She hopes to expand her little knowledge of the Arcane in Starlight Academy.

Entropy Spell: Le-kzen can drain the energy of something and transfer it to her or someone else, like Ardos. This spell is rarely fatal. Most of the time, it can only severely weaken creatures or make them faint. She and Ardos managed to survive the Underdark barely eating by taking the energy of large monsters and transferring it to them.

Mind Influencing Spell: Le-kzen can imbue her voice with the power to influence. When Le-kzen uses this spell, even the most stubborn of people will be compelled to listen to what she has to say. This is in no way mind control, though. People that aren’t easily impressionable can resist her charms.

Blood Manipulation Spell: Le-kzen can control people’s blood. She can manipulate their blood stream to make their body move in whatever way she wants and she can kill them by stopping the blood from flowing into their brains. This is Le-kzen’s most powerful and most difficult spell to cast. It requires her full concentration. If she is disrupted, it will be dangerous for both her and her victim. She often faints after performing this spell.

Night Vision: Lek-zen has lived underground for most of her life. As a result, she can see perfectly in the dark. Her eyes are extremely sensitive to light, though.

Biography:

Le-kzen Ta’driz was born in Eryndlyn to an extremely poor house that consisted of nothing but her Matron Mother, Patron Father, her brother Ardos, herself and two gnome servants. Her Matron Mother managed the household while Ardos, his Patron Father and their servants worked tirelessly in the farm planting mushrooms and taking care of livestock. She was being trained to become the next Matron and she helped Ardos sell their goods at the local market but she often felt guilty because she couldn’t do more than this because of her frail body.

They had a pretty good life despite the crippling poverty until, one day, Ardos and Le-kzen came home to find their house raided and their parents dead. Normally, they would be able to appeal to Lolth to take the assets of whoever committed this crime but they had no names or list of suspects. They were forced to live in their sorry state.

Ardos was thirty (15) at the time, but Le-kzen was only twenty two (11). She only barely knew how to run a household, let alone a business. Ardos offered to find work so they would be able to sustain themselves and Zen agreed to this.

Ardos got work as a lowly mercenary in a male-run company. He endured years of hardship in order to take care of her. As she grew older, she realized she couldn’t join him due to her weak body but she had a sharp mind and a clever tongue to compensate. She helped manage Ardos’ jobs in secret, made backroom deals with criminals and honed her natural affinity for magic by learning a few spells. She was the person behind the curtain that ensured her brother’s talents would not go to waste.

But she was slowly becoming more and more sickly as well as angry at her environment and guilty to the amount of pain she had Ardos go through and the lies she refused to tell him. They talked about it one night and eventually they agreed on one thing: Nobody should go through the life they were living.

At the dead of night, Ardos and Le-kzen made a breakthrough to the Underdark. They’ve been there for a long and uncertain amount of time. They were sure they were going to die there until they stepped into a world so bright they were almost blinded, landing at the feet of a man that invited both of them to Starlight Academy.

They happily accepted.
