Briza Jaelre

Briza is pragmatic with a dry, sarcastic wit. She has a level head, weighing the pros and cons of choices and how they will affect her and others in her care for the long term. She tends to hold herself back from connecting with others, but once she has that connection, she is loyal to a fault. Her humor is known to be dry, sometimes not being understood as humor until a few beats. She has a fondness for animals of all kinds, oftentimes preferring their company to people.

She has a strong desire for vengeance when she's been wronged and isn't afraid of spilling blood when she sees it due. Any insult to her or her family is not taken lightly and she won't hold back. Her temper is long to alight but when it does, there is not much mercy to be had. She can be arrogant at times, looking down on other races until she feels they've proven themselves.

Early Life

Briza was born to House Jaelre in Menzoberranzan in the house's waning days in the city. Her mother was a respected wizard and her father a member of House H'kar her mother became fond of. House Jaelre, while one of the larger houses in Drow society, was rife with scandals. In the 800s DR, one branch had been exiled due to having a male leader and venerating Vhaeraun instead of Lolth. After that branch's exile, the rest of Jaelre treaded carefully until the 1300s DR.

When she was a child (still called Brizlin at the time), her House attempted a revolt. Failing, the surviving members of House Jaelre were finally exiled. They traversed the Underdark, seeking refuge for themselves. By 1372 DR, they eventually made their way to the surface and reunited with the other branch of House Jaelre, settling in abandoned Elven Court of Cormanthor.

Growing up

As Briza aged, she realized what others perceived of her gender was not what she was. Her mother assisted her with potions and spells, pleased at the idea of a daughter despite House Jaelre viewing men and women as a bit more equal. For a time, Briza was her mother's favored, until the youngest, a daughter, was born. Briza was cast aside then and decided to forge her own path. Her love for animals and interest in the forests lead her to learn how to be a ranger, acting as a scout for the House Jaelre guards.

Recent Year

Briza had heard rumors of people going missing who wandered too far and went to investigate. This was when she was kidnapped and taken to the nautiloid to be infected with the parasite.
