Background

Crescentia was born, roughly the same time as her twin sister Baynarah, in a hin village somewhere far east of the Sword Coast. She discovered her warlock powers at the age of 14, the powers not having been apparent in her family for some time. A few days later, Bay was found to have the same powers. They subsequently killed each other in a freak accident, which Cres sometimes jokes about. Because of her brush with death she can remember very little of her childhood, or even the name of the village she was born in.

Cres proceeded to wander Faerûn for the next seven years, becoming acquianted with her powers and moving from place to place as it suited her. It is unclear how she managed to survive for so long without a steady source of income, though she generally attributes it to her natural charm, deft silence, or her eldritch powers. Eventually she ended up on the Sword Coast, which has amused her enough to stay for awhile. She generally resides in the Friendly Arm Inn.

Goals

Crescentia wants, more than anything, to be rid of her pact. Despite the power it has given her, how much she enjoys it, and how often she jokes about it, she cannot stomach the thought of being a demon's slave when she dies, or having the ground suddenly open up and swallow her when her time's up.

Although she likewise keeps a cool head (except when she's hammered), she has a burning desire to get the better of paladins and other sorts she's not particularly fond of, and make them dance to her tune. She would not necessarily resort to violence; she just wants them to know she's better than them.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts

Crescentia has been working with Teo to control her natural powers. After an incident where she was forced to kill a man, her mind went back to when she killed her sister, but the incident was no longer humorous to her. Since then she has been having nightmares where the demon of her ancestor's pact has been holding her sister captive in a fiery wasteland. She is determined to find out if there is any truth to these dreams by returning home and/or finding her sister. Her gut says Baynarah's still alive.
