Appearance
Aurelia is a striking drow woman with obsidian skin, long white hair braided with silver spider charms, and vivid violet eyes. Her beauty is deliberate and weaponized, enhanced by immaculate grooming, aristocratic posture, and a smile that rarely reaches her eyes. She wears black chain mail beneath a dark crimson tabard bearing House Malice's spider sigil. At her hip rests an elegant curved sabre, while a polished shield displays a stylized silver spider descending upon a web. Tiny spiders frequently cling to her armor, sleeves, and hair without disturbing her.
Mannerisms
Aurelia pauses before answering difficult questions, watching the nearest spider as if awaiting its counsel. She maintains eye contact for precisely one breath too long, speaks in a soft aristocratic murmur, and cleans her sabre whenever someone mentions treason.
Personality
Aurelia is poised, observant, and intensely self-controlled. She treats every conversation as an interrogation and every kindness as a possible trap. Her confidence is not loud, but it is oppressive, expressed through flawless etiquette, patient scrutiny, and the assumption that everyone around her is concealing something. She genuinely enjoys solving mysteries, especially when doing so allows her to demonstrate Lolth's superiority.
Ideals
Order. Every creature has a place in Lolth's web, and those who resist their appointed place must be exposed and broken.
Bonds
House Malice gave Aurelia her name, rank, armor, and purpose. She will protect its reputation at any cost, even if that means condemning a member of her own bloodline. She also keeps one living spider in a crystal reliquary, believing it to be the favored messenger of Lolth who first guided her toward the path of the paladin.
Flaws
Aurelia cannot tolerate uncertainty. When evidence is incomplete, she invents the missing pieces rather than admit that she does not know. She is also dangerously certain that any spider nearby may be offering Lolth's judgment, making her easy to manipulate through staged omens.
Quirks
Background
Aurelia Malice was born beneath the hanging stalactites of Menzoberranzan, the third daughter of a minor branch of House Malice. From the moment she could walk, she was taught that Lolth's web was the only law that mattered. While other children learned to fear spiders, Aurelia learned their patterns, their silences, and the subtle differences between a creature that hunted and one that merely waited. Her priestess tutors interpreted her fascination as devotion, and Aurelia embraced the judgment. She became convinced that every twitch of a spider's leg could reveal hidden disloyalty, concealed desire, or the approach of heresy.
