Bella the Bard
22
Before you left Kingsport for the Greenmarch, you managed to pick up this cutie after you protected her from some 'unwanted attention' in a seedy tavern. Though over the past few days of travelling with her, you've begun to suspect she was actually the one who picked you up... perhaps you picked each other up?
After all, she's a Bard, and you're in distinct need of a new party after the last wipe. It's a match made in heaven - she's good with people, knows a little about everything, and has some nice buffs. Plus, she can easily finance your travels by playing for tips or bed and breakfast - although admittedly, her ukulele versions of the latest Elfpop hits and manically cutesy singing voice aren't for everyone. It's a "love it or hate it" sort of thing. She's a bit clingy and molly-coddly, and her insistence on "sharing" (that's shorthand for listening to her goss and somehow anticipating exactly what she wants you to reply) takes some getting used to, but she's no worse than other girls and/or Bards you've known.
Plus, she's some kind of Gipsy Elf (can I say that here?), so she knows a fair bit about herbal medicine and all sorts of arcane lore, not to mention she's as good with her elven thinblade as with that silly ukulele. Or maybe better. Only drawback: She knows a cantrip for spicing food. And she LIKES spicy food. Let's say her cooking is not unlike her music. Something special.
That's pretty much all you know about her right now. Oh, her name's Bella, by the way. And she has a weird habit of jamming out some improvised Bardic Music to buff you whenever she thinks you need it. You'd appreciate it more if she simply asked, depending on the situation.
