Vercinjetorix of Arishkanae

Vercinjétorix of Arishkanae is a human bard, wizard, and lich. She was formerly one of many wives of Ilya, the god of Lake Arishkanae, but is now engaged to Cedwyn of Arishkanae.

Early Life
Vercinjétorix was born in Arishkanae approximately 120 years before the start of the campaign. Her mother was named Anaxandredes, and she had three older sisters: Arsinoe, Euphraisie, and Polyhymnia. She never knew her father.

At the age of 5, Vercinjétorix was abandoned after her mother and sisters walked into Lake Arishkanae and were never seen again; as a result, Vercinjétorix never learned to read or write, and remained illiterate into adulthood. Her survival was fostered by sacrifices to the Lake, which provided her food, water, and shelter.

She was turned into a lich by Ilya at approximately the age of 20, and did not remember her life prior to immortality until forced to relive it in the Kalua House. She had not left Arishkanae until participating in the trials.

Personality
When first introduced to the world outside of Arishkanae, Vercinjétorix tended to be impulsive, reckless, and self-serving; this was in part due to her ongoing psychosis and amnesia. She would habitually lie -- even attempting to lie to her own god -- and was deeply untrusting of others. Vercinjétorix rarely showed remorse for her actions, even when they caused overt harm to others; in fact, she often found pleasure in them.

However, since meeting Cedwyn, recovering her memories in the Kalua House, and breaking free of Ilya's influence, Vercinjétorix has rejected many of her former traits. While she maintains some of her impulsivity, she is now thoughtful, passionate, and deeply attached to her companions. She has also learned to read.
