Alexia The Righteous, born to humble beginnings in the bustling city of New Ardena, emerges as an unlikely beacon of hope and strength. As a child, she shows a remarkable aptitude for both kindness and understanding, traits that guide her as she navigates the trials and tribulations of a world teeming with magic, mystery, and danger. From an early age, young Alexia feels the tug of service in her heart, whispering to her that she is destined to fulfill a higher purpose.
Over time, Alexia's unwavering commitment to her calling leads her down the path of monkhood, eventually becoming the chief monk of her monastery. As a priest of Vellon, the God of Night, Death, and Reincarnation, Alexia assumes the most solemn of duties—ending the lives of the terminally ill and injured, ensuring they transition peacefully into the realm beyond. Though her duties could easily weigh heavy on her soul, Alexia's spirit remains light and airy, filled with a love and kindness transcending the darkest of her tasks.
Alexia's closest friend is Corwin, a mage of supreme talent and unfailing loyalty. Together they navigate the challenges of their respective callings, bound by their shared sense of duty and a love that transcends romance or passion. Though Alexia never marries, Corwin remains ever by her side, providing companionship, laughter, and much-needed levity to counterbalance the gravity of her responsibilities.
Armed with her trusty ritual knife, a weapon both ghastly and beautiful in its design, Alexia serves as the embodiment of Vellon's will, fearlessly guiding those in need into the realm beyond life's boundaries. Her attire—a splendid robe of gold and black—marks her as a servant of the mysterious yet benevolent god. Alexia's unwavering commitment to her calling earns her titles and accolades throughout the lands, stretching far beyond the halls of her beloved monastery.
But behind the serene mother figure of the monastery, Alexia harbors a secret that profoundly shapes her life. Born with limited use of her left hand, she painstakingly masters the ritual knife and her duties with one hand, never allowing her disability to hinder her or steal her faith. Embracing her imperfections, Alexia personifies the belief that we are all capable of overcoming obstacles and rising above our struggles.
At night, when the world slips into slumber, Alexia dreams of a New Ardena free from suffering and pain—one where every soul can find contentment and peace and where the wheel of reincarnation turns with grace and ease. She clings fiercely to this hopeful vision and draws strength from it, using it as a catalyst to propel her further into her noble and difficult path.
Hidden beneath Alexia's serene demeanor is a gleeful sense of humor, one that she indulges when darkness and sorrow threaten to overturn the heart of her duties. Her favorite joke—a quip about a wizard who mistakenly turns himself into a grass-eating goat—elicits a contagious laugh that echoes through the halls of the monastery, infusing the air with a sense of warmth and comforting the souls of her fellow monks.
As an emblem of her unwavering servitude and her guiding credo, Alexia bears an elegant symbol on her robes back, depicting the wheel of reincarnation encircled by vines of delicate ivy. The icon serves as a constant reminder of her purpose and the cycle of life that she watches over, standing vigilantly as a guardian and protector of souls.
Mirroring the delicate balance of light and dark, Alexia The Righteous steps forward confidently into a world teeming with uncertainty and upheaval. She is an unyielding force for compassion and love in a world too often submerged in discord and strife. Each day, she renews her vow to serve her god and her people and strides through the halls of New Ardena ever more prepared to face the challenges that await her beyond its walls.
