When she's out in the field, Pana's covered from head to toes in a solid piece of heavy armor that seems throughly used and abused, every detail or lines on it hammered away or covered in dents and scratches, save for her deity's emblems. Adding to the fact her size and great mobility with it, Pana carries the appareance of someone who is no stranger to extreme violence. the tower shield she carries is equally large, and is covered in red scales. On the back of her armor, a red cape sways as she runs, with a drake emblem clearly visible.

When she's not engaged in her favorite passtime, she wear simple but elegant silk robes, including a turband, all clearly from Calimshan. If angered, her eyes and hair glow very much like burning coals and wildfire, respectively.

Background: Her life is more complex than she actually remembers it, mainly because of her drinking. As a child she was just another slave of the red wizards of thay, and would later become an experimentation subject in the effects of fundamental gel from the plane of chaos. The red wizards gathered a myriad of planetouched races, human hyrbrids, and would combine strong spells with large quantities of the sentient ooze in attempts to transform them into living weapons. Pana was the only survivor, and after years of inconclusive studies about the reasons behind this, the wizards grew restless and finally a coup happened, where almost everyone involved was killed, except the headmistress who took Pana away and escaped thay to prevent further assasination attempts.

Eventually they reached the western edge of the continet, an exotic place called Waterdeep, and decided to settle there. Pana's memories of her childhood were quietly removed by the wizard's incantations. They lived like that for a good ammount of years, until a couple of thayans finally found her shortly after her "stepmother's" funeral. Pana, now remembering her past days in thay, attempts to defend herself and in the resulting fight her house burns down. Without a place to go she decides to travel south and becomes an adventurer, hoping that incident was the last she would see of red wizards.

Reaching Baldur's Gate after a few weeks of travelling, she takes a liking on the city and decides to establish herself there, gathering some coin as a freelance merc and adventurer. Eventually she meets another group of firesouls, and they decide to start a Church of kossuth somewhere around beregost, but by different causes and reasons the group part ways and separate. Again a loner, Pana settles south of Baldur's gate, in the friendly arm Inn, and periodically wanders the nearby forests and caves exterminating vermins and goblinoids for a living.

At this point is when the effects of the red wizard experimentation on her makes itself evident, causing her body to be filled with a strange and deadly affliction she called the "gibbering cancer", her own body slowly changing and mutating, and only with the help of an earthsoul planemancer and her firesoul friend Pana's life could be saved. Sensing her impending change, a final attempt by the red wizards of thay to capture her was ultimately foiled when, with her last remaining strenghts, she killed Naban, the man who years ago prompted the coup against her adoptive mother, by decapitating him with her own shield as he lied helpess against the ground.

Taking a decision of halting the life of danger after being so close to death, she meets Mia of the performers guild and manages to score a job as an extra on their play of Karsus Folly. But after the performance (and her payment) she would ultimately party so hard, she would later wake up surrounded by empty bottles of ale in a ship going to calimshan. Resigning to her apparent departure from Baldur's Gate, she takes a contract with the captain of the ship to work as part of his crew while the ship sailed the shinning sea before arriving to Port calim. Her months working in calimshan gave her a small fortune and a renewed thirst for adventure. Taking another contract with corsairs, she then sailed towards the Nelanzher isles to hunt luskan pirates, but the ship was boarded by sahuagins and a Water genasi priestess of Umberlee. After the shipwreck from their fight, and time lost at sea, Pana reached dry land and decided to stick to mainland, travelling east after returning to port calim, initially following the roads east and reaching the border kingdoms.

The "volatile" nature of the border kingdoms was a godsend to her; and would give her a steady job for the next two years, working with several of the kingdoms there, training militias into capable armies, leading assaults, and defending sieges. The time spent fighting in the ever changing frontiers of the kingdoms changed her as well, though, now more of a mercenary than the do-good adventurer she initially was. When a failed coup to a heavily defended settlement of Oparl decimated the band of followers she had gathered during the years, Pana decided to travel back home to waterdeep, and start anew from there, maybe going further north after that. After months of going back through her own steps, crossing again the shinning sea, and passing through amn going up the southern sword coast, Pana reached again the coast way, and decided to settle for some time in the friendly arms inn again, wondering if the region still had something to offer her.


Goals: She seeks to live her life doing what she likes best, she values wealth but preffers to spend it rather than hoarding up fortune. On a more profound level, she wants to find a place of her own and more of her kin. She feels the need to daily prove to herself and to the firelord that she remains as strong and determined as ever, despite whatever might've happened in her past.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts: Her phobia of red wizards has turned to hatred mixed with Paranoia. She constantly fears more persecutions and attempts to capture or destroy her, sometimes even suspecting regular, even nonhuman spellcasters, and Pana would never willingly associate or help with one unless it's beneficial for her inmediate self or the person in question is a very trusted friend. She's bull headed and can't turn down a challenge to prove her worth, and is very defensive of those she call friends, in fear that she might lose them.
