%% Last Updated - [[2021-04-04]] - [[2021-02-02]] %% Hometown: somewhere in [[ttrpgs/The Slayers Five/Xhorhas]] ## Appearance %% ![[music.jpeg]] %% Skin: Deep pink Hair: Shocking silver, wavy and shoulder-length Eyes: Silver - very unnerving Tattoo: diamond dust covers her decolletage like a moonlit, starry sky - a constitution tattoo that the [[Lavish Chateau]] paid for to increase her efficacy as a courtesan. ## Profession Courtesan Stage name: "The Damali Diamante" Lira's profession is essential to who she is. It's all she's ever known, but it's also a distillation of her personality. She exists to soothe others, and finds wayward souls particularly irresistible. She relies on her perception, insight, persuasion, deception,and abilities (charm, sleep, mage hand) to give people what they really want: company, affection, love. ## Backstory Tieflings are always treated with disdain and suspicion, but Lira's unusual coloring caused her to be the subject of suspicion even among her own kind. Her white hair in particular was unnatural to her tiefling family, whose superstitions branded Lira as a curse. As a young girl, Lira was abandoned by her family in Xhorhas and found by slavers, under the direction of [[Ophelia Mardoon]], who took her to the [[ttrpgs/The Slayers Five/Nicodranas]] in the [[Menagerie Coast]] to work as a courtesan. She barely remembers her family, except for her mother telling her to stay and wait in a swamp and never returning. Lira's unique coloring and the fact that she was a tiefling made her very popular among johns in Nicodranas, and the very thing that made her an outcast in [[ttrpgs/The Slayers Five/Xhorhas]] made her an object of fetishistic lust on the [[Menagerie Coast]]. Lira trained under several mistresses before she fell under the watchful eye of the [[Ruby of the Sea]] herself, who taught her that there is more to a courtesan than whoring. She gave Lira her first musical instrument, a lute, which changed Lira's life. Where previously, she had seen myself as a victim of unfortunate circumstances, she began to take delight in being a courtesan and bringing joy to people. That's when the [[The Golden Grin]] approached her. They wanted to recruit Lira, and since their goals matched her own, she accepted. They have asked her to do minor things to her clients, such as distracting someone or stealing a vial or other object, each bigger than the last. Their last request was for her to start making a name for herself in the Dwendalian empire, so that they might be able to pull strings there as well. ## Goals and motivations ### Immediate Find and kill the leader of the group that kidnapped her when she was young. Under the Grinners' direction, she wants to establish herself as a wandering performer in the Dwendalian empire. ### Secondary Make her own way and determine her own path: not her family's, not the Ruby of the Sea's, but her own. ### Secrets She has some serious issues with her physical form. She experienced sexual abuse when she was initially sold into slavery, and since then she's battled trauma from it. She is only emotionally capable of sex when in a form other than her own (through Disguise Self). She also hides the fact that she has functional bat wings, because they've been both sexualized and feared. When Boris meets her, she is finishing off her last performance at the [[Lavish Chateau]]. She has already said goodbye to the Ruby and is set to make the journey to Zadash, but she will offer Boris gold to accompany her. ## Bonds ### [[Boris]] Boris gave Lira the ability to fly, and he did so without any trace of sexualization or of fear. She felt what it was like to be flying with no sense of shame. She owes him a favor. ### [[Ora]] Lira both mistrusts and is intensely jealous of Ora because of Ora's shapeshifting. She wishes she could do the same thing, and is working up the courage to ask Ora how she got it. ## Songs ### [[The Golden Grin]] songs [[Grinning Fool]] %% ## Other songs ### That Thing You Do You Doin' that thing you do Axing that thing into a million pieces Like you always doo-ooh ### Love Yourself (Justin Bieber) Cause if you like the way you fight that much Oh baby you should go and hit yourself ### I'm Yours Open up your eyes and then you'll see We're just one big family Look into my eyes and you'll find ### Dear Future Husband You've got that 9 to 5 but baby so do I So don't be thinking I'll be home and baking apple pie I never learned to fight but I can heal you right sing along with me sing, sing along with me ### Shape of You Hey, you know we want your head Your head was handmade for somebody like us Come on now, follow my lead I may be crazy, don't mind me Say, hey, let's not talk too much Grab on her dagger and we'll show you what you need Come on now, show us how you bleed Come, come on now, show us how you bleed (mmmm) ### This Love This blow ain't taking its toll on you I say goodbye and you're going on the floooooor Your heart is breaking in front of me Coz Boris, he's great - you ain't gonna be there anymoore ### Nae Nae Now watch me hit Now watch me nae nae ### Underneath your clothes Underneath your scales There's an endless story You won't hit this time and I'm not sorry ### No Woman No Cry No Dragon No Cry ## Used songs ## Other songs ### That Thing You Do You Doin' that thing you do Axing that thing into a million pieces Like you always doo-ooh ### Love Yourself (Justin Bieber) Cause if you like the way you fight that much Oh baby you should go and hit yourself ### I'm Yours Open up your eyes and then you'll see We're just one big family Look into my eyes and you'll find hate, hate, hate ### Dear Future Husband You've got that 9 to 5 but baby so do I So don't be thinking I'll be home and baking apple pie I never learned to fight but I can heal you right sing along with me sing, sing along with me ### Shape of You Hey, you know we want your head Your head was handmade for somebody like us Come on now, follow my lead I may be crazy, don't mind me Say, hey, let's not talk too much Grab on her dagger and we'll show you what you need Come on now, show us how you bleed Come, come on now, show us how you bleed (mmmm) ### This Love This blow ain't taking its toll on you I say goodbye and you're going on the floooooor Your heart is breaking in front of me Coz Boris, he's great - you ain't gonna be there anymoore ### Nae Nae Now watch me hit Now watch me nae nae ### Underneath your clothes Underneath your scales There's an endless story You won't hit this time and I'm not sorry ### No Woman No Cry No Dragon No Cry ## Used songs ### Bardic Inspiration #### Other songs - Livin' La Vida Loca - S-S-S-Single Bed - #### Havana - ORA O Ora ooo nana She's gonna use her psychic daggah ooh na na She'll slice you just like a banana ooh na na All of your heart is soft and yella You should run back to your nana She doesn't walk up with that how you' doin And when she takes out her soul blades she wins She'll do you so good you won't remember it And just when you think you've got her she grins She's got you feeling like ooooh...
