Appearance
Aurelia is a statuesque drow woman with obsidian skin, long white hair braided with silver spider charms, and vivid violet eyes. Her lightly armored black-and-crimson robes are cut in the style of an austere surface samurai's ceremonial attire, with layered shoulder guards, a reinforced sash, and a lacquered scabbard. A curved rapier rests at her hip, while several tiny spiders crawl freely across her sleeves and occasionally disappear beneath the folds of her clothing.
Mannerisms
Aurelia speaks softly and formally, as though delivering testimony before a tribunal. She pauses before answering questions to watch the nearest spider, treats its movement as an omen, and performs a small two-fingered salute before drawing her rapier. When displeased, she smooths one fold of her robe and murmurs a prayer rather than raising her voice.
Personality
I am patient, observant, and impeccably courteous, especially when my target believes politeness means safety. I collect inconsistencies the way other people collect jewelry. I am genuinely affectionate toward spiders and consider most humanoids less trustworthy than the creatures nesting in my robes.
Ideals
Faith. Lolth's will is the only law that matters. Every secret uncovered and every dissenter silenced proves that I am worthy of the Spider Queen's attention.
Bonds
House Malice gave me purpose, status, and a place in Lolth's design. I will destroy anyone who threatens the house, even if the threat comes from within its own bloodline.
Flaws
I mistake doubt for guilt and guilt for permission. Once I decide that someone is a heretic, evidence becomes a formality, and I can justify almost any cruelty as devotion.
Quirks
Background
Aurelia Malice was born beneath the webbed shadows of Menzoberranzan, the youngest daughter of a minor branch of House Malice. From the moment she could walk, she was taught that Lolth watched through every spider's eye and that hesitation was merely treason waiting to reveal itself. Aurelia embraced the lesson with unsettling sincerity. She memorized forbidden prayers before she learned courtly song, learned to read the twitch of a spider's legs before she learned to trust the expressions of her sisters, and quickly discovered that secrets were more useful than strength in the murderous politics of the drow nobility. During an investigation into suspected heresy, Aurelia encountered the remnants of a surface-world warrior's travel journal. Its descriptions of disciplined swordplay, ritualized silence, and absolute devotion to a lord fascinated her. She adapted the style into her own private doctrine, replacing loyalty to a mortal master with obedience to Lolth and turning the curved blade into an instrument of judgment. Her spiders became informants, living among the folds of her robes and carrying scent, thread, and tiny disturbances back to her. Now Aurelia serves as an inquisitor for House Malice, hunting dissenters, false prophets, and anyone whose fear smells different from proper reverence. She believes every investigation is a test arranged by the Spider Queen, and she intends to pass every one.
“Aurelia embraced the lesson with unsettling sincerity.”
