Appearance
Pisces is a lean tiefling woman with dusky crimson scales along her cheeks, throat, shoulders, and hands, suggesting the half-dragon heritage whispered about in the streets. Her swept-back black hair is threaded with copper beads, and two polished ivory horns curve upward from her brow. Her eyes are bright turquoise with slit pupils, and a thin draconic tail curls beneath her crimson-and-black entertainer's cloak. She favors practical leather armor hidden beneath stage silks, soft boots, and a silver mask worn at her hip.
Mannerisms
Pisces hums softly while thinking, taps rhythms against her wrist when impatient, and gives every new room a quick visual scan for exits and balconies. When she lies, she smiles as if preparing to begin a performance.
Personality
Pisces is theatrical, clever, and irrepressibly hopeful. She treats danger like an improvised performance, using wit, misdirection, and a well-timed flourish to keep control of the scene. Beneath her confidence is a lonely young woman who misses the troupe that raised her and still longs for the sound of an audience cheering for the right reasons.
Ideals
Freedom. No demon, noble, troupe master, prophecy, or audience has the right to decide what Pisces is. Every soul deserves the chance to choose its own song.
Bonds
Pisces is determined to find the surviving members of the Moonfire Circuit and clear their names. She also carries a broken copper tuning fork from the ruined theater, the only object she believes can lead her back to the demons who banished her.
Flaws
Pisces cannot resist an audience, even when silence would be safer. She is quick to trust anyone who praises her voice, and she becomes reckless when accused of cowardice, betrayal, or failure. Deep down, she fears the demons were right to banish her and that her fame was only a mask covering something monstrous.
Quirks
Background
Pisces Marquis was once the golden voice of the Moonfire Circuit, a traveling troupe whose performances drew crowds from city squares to noble courts. Though born a tiefling, Pisces displayed strange draconic traits that made her seem almost mythical, and audiences adored the image of a half-dragon songstress who could make a room fall silent with a single note. Her fame grew quickly, but so did the envy of the demons who claimed dominion over the infernal blood in her veins. During the troupe's most celebrated performance, a host of demons tore open a flaming rift and banished Pisces from the stage, scattering her companions and destroying her reputation in the chaos. The public believed she had betrayed the troupe or summoned the demons herself.
“Her fame grew quickly, but so did the envy of the demons who claimed dominion over the infernal blood in her veins.”
