Jenevelle Hallowleaf, Paladin of Selune

Full Name: Jenevelle Hallowleaf Short Name(s): Jenevelle, Jen

Features: Half-elf, lithe build and fair skin. Has pointed ears and almond-shaped eyes reflecting the elven half of her mixed heritage. Hair dyed white over natural black, braided in a long ponytail and parted to frame her face. Veridian irised eyes. Healed and slight horizontal scar on her right cheek that crosses to the bridge of her nose.

Personality: As a paladin of the moon goddess Selune, Jenevelle is as altruistic to those she feels responsible for defending and protecting, as she is wroth to those who seek to lay the innocent low. She reserves an especially-strong hatred for the worshippers of Selune's evil twin, the goddess of loss Shar. Jenevelle also doesn't suffer fools lightly, quick to either pointed barbs or drawn weapons should trouble-makers push their fortunes with her or her allies too far.

Despite her directness and occasional severity, Jenevelle possesses a playful side. She occasionally cracks jokes and banter, engages in bouts of teasing and flirting with those that catch her eye, and is not above forming close bonds - platonic or otherwise - with those who are able to befriend her. So long as one respects who Jenevelle is and what she strives for, one can find no greater ally.

Of minor note, Jenevelle inexplicably steers clear of any wolf she comes across. These bouts of panic are accompanied by the paladin doubling-over in equal fits of agony and a magical wound appearing on the reverse of her left hand. The source and reason for this is not immediately clear, and Jenevelle either does not recall how this unusual stigmata was inflicted on her, or is not willing to reveal it.

Clothing: Jenevelle wears a set of full-plate armour when expected to face battle. She also wears a long, grey cloak secured around the neck by a single silver chain, as well an off-white surcoat worn over her armour, emblazoned with seven stars and a pair of eyes. Finally, a sword belt bears her longsword in its sheath, as well as any equipment that she can carry around her waist (potion pouches, ect.)

Backstory: Much of Jenevelle's past has been sealed or blocked from recollection; she cannot recall by who or why. All she can immediately remember of her past is that her family had persuaded her to enter the Church of Selune. She would spend long years in both religious and practical education, eventually finding her calling as a paladin of Selune.

Tasked by Selune to some unknown quest, Jenevelle was intercepted and captured by roaming ithillid (mind-flayers), who subsequantly imprisoned her aboard their nautilod and infected her with a tadpole that would gradually kill her or convert her to one of the same foul beings. Fortunately, the nautiloid she was aboard was intercepted; Jenevelle and at least two other prisoners were able to survive the organic craft's crash-landing south of the city of Baldur's Gate.

Now Jenevelle seeks to find answers regarding her capture and infestation, how to reverse the latter, and to return to the path Selune set for her.
