--- ## Name: Yadiel of the Mother’s Blood **Title:** Warrior-Daughter of the [[Tribe of the Mother]] **Race:** Human (Barbarian lineage) **Gender:** Female **Class:** Barbarian (Path of the Sacred Body) **Alignment:** Chaotic Good **Affiliation:** [[Tribe of the Mother]], Wife to Laucian --- ## Appearance Yadiel embodies the raw beauty and strength of her people. She is tall, athletic, and sun-kissed from a life under the open sky. Her long blonde hair is braided with feathers and bone charms, framing a youthful face that reflects the vitality of her twenty years. Her skin, like all barbarians of the Tribe, is blessed by [[Angoria]]—tough as armor and unyielding in battle. Tribal tattoos curve across her collarbone and upper arms—symbols of her warrior rites. As is natural among her people, Yadiel wears only what is needed for function—bracers, belts, and a wrap at her hips—her body otherwise unencumbered as a symbol of sacred freedom. Her bearing is confident, her gaze unflinching, and her laughter both wild and radiant. She walks with the natural grace of one raised without shame, embodying the sacred strength of unbound tradition. --- ## Personality - **Fierce and Joyful:** She relishes battle and celebration in equal measure. - **Honest and Proud:** Speaks directly and expects the same of others. - **Unshakably Loyal:** Especially to her sister [[Silka]], her tribe, and her new husband. - **Curious of the World:** Finds beauty in cultures beyond the tribe but holds fast to her roots. --- ## Role in the Campaign - Yadiel first greeted the adventurers alongside her sister **[[Silka]]**, as part of the [[Tribe of the Mother]]'s first contact with the group. - Challenged **Laucian, the monk**, to a duel to determine if he was worthy to be her husband—a tradition of strength and respect. - After his victory, she **asked [[Mavros]] and [[Ariana]] for approval**, which was granted with full honor. - Now travels with the party, acting as a fierce protector and symbol of tribal pride. --- ## Abilities - **Unarmored Strength:** Gains bonuses to AC and saving throws when wearing no armor or clothing, in keeping with tribal tradition. - **Sacred Touch:** Her presence restores morale and calms fear; allies have advantage on fear saves while within 10 feet. - **Challenge of the Body:** Can issue a ritual challenge to foes, compelling one-on-one combat under sacred rules. --- ## Cultural Notes - Yadiel's nudity is not for provocation but **sacred expression**—an offering of the natural self to [[Perserphina]] and a reminder that truth needs no disguise. - She is proud of her tribe's ways and speaks often of the **balance between strength and openness**. - Sees **Laucian** as a spiritual match—one who values clarity of mind and strength of form.
