Sophia Songweaver

The Curse of Strahd
"'When Pixies are very young, many of them don’t yet know how to control their magic. One of the first things they learn is invisibility. It’s what keeps us safe. In my case however, it wasn’t coming as easily as it does for the others. No matter how hard I tried I couldn’t turn invisible. I’m sure I could have mastered it If I was given more time to learn, but while still very young, I was captured, and my family was unable to save me. He said he was taking me to some guy named ‘Strahd’ or something. I didn’t like the sound of that. I couldn’t turn invisible yet, but I wasn’t quite helpless. I managed to trick him into loosening the container ‘so that I could breath’ … Ha. I managed to get free from the man, but it turns out I was too late. When I got away, I realized that the plants and animals around me were suffering, and most were dead. Something about this land was very unsettling… Oh what am I talking about. *Everything* about this place was creepy. I hated it. Luckily, despite the woods being so spooky and… wrong, it was still a forest, and I’m still a Pixie… even untrained, once I made it there, those creeps couldn’t find me anymore. They tried for a long time though. I’ve been trying to find my way out of here for a few years now. This is no place for a pixie. I don’t think there are any others of my kind here… for their sake I hope not. While I’ve been here, I’ve seen and heard things few others have … or if they have, they ignore it.' - Sophia Songweaver"

Songweaver:
Before Sophia first encountered Arane, Leviticus, and, Torinn, she had already spent over half of her life in Strahd’s domain. During her time there, lacking the abilities and magic of a normal pixie, she instead learned what she could through her own practice. She found herself best able to manifest her magic through song and overtime became a formidable magic user in her own right. She avoided being seen rather well, but she often couldn’t help but try to help the miserable inhabitants of Borovia. Due to the Nature of her magic, she was usually heard not seen; however, occasionally someone would spot her, and overtime she earned the title of Songweaver in Borrovia.

Victory:


Return to Ludas
Upon leaving Borovia, the party reentered the material plane, however were scattered throughout Ludas, and reentered at different times. Sophia appeared in a forest near Brindol, and much to her despair, the first thing she encountered was a band of undead soldiers attacking a man by the name of Cane who turned out to be a paladin (Not to be confused with Kane the Paladin who was a member of the party that defeated Strahd). She happened upon a strange gem, and used it to bring life to a nearby huge oak tree whom she named Oak. The three of them easily dealt with the undead, and learned that Cane was part of a revolution, and had heard the name Arane before. He told her that Arane and her current party had headed to the mountains south of Brindol a few days ago. Cane then returned to Lochdanan, and Sophia and Oak went south to begin searching for Arane.

La Revolution:
Sophia's abysmal luck continues, as when she finally finds Arane's party, Arane had just been captured by Roman's Army. She aids them over the next few weeks including traveling to another evil plane, navigating a castle made of flesh, returning to the material plane again, traveling to a far off land, fighting a lich of some form, and finally rescuing Arane. Upon returning to Ludas, seeing her friend is safe again, she attempts to return to the fields around Northfort that she is originally from. Upon return she finds what was once beautiful fields of flowers now is just dying grass. She then goes to the nearby forest which she remembers had strong natural magic and guardians to find it deserted by all magical protectors. Because of this she takes it upon herself to protect this forest to the best of her abilities over the next several months using Oak, and attempting to create more like him.
