Visk

Visk is a changeling rogue.

Personality
Visk is recalcitrant and reluctant to make friends, and has a deeply rooted distrust of authority figures. She doesn't say much, but is quick to anger, especially towards any comment about her diminutive height.

Relationships
Fel'rekt Lafeen developed an attachment to her after she rescued him from the Right Hand of Nessus; however, the friendship is not particularly reciprocated.

History
Visk was born in a Changeling tribe in the Evermoors but lost both of her parents after Orcs raided their small village. Her elder brother by ten years, Wiek, took her and ran away to west, to the city of Luskan They wore human disguises for years, Wiek had warned her to never show her true form--prejudice towards Changelings was violent in those areas.

Wiek lived as a young man and worked as a blacksmith's assistant under the name of Ashton Rivers to financially support the two of them. He made Visk take form as a little human girl, Maggie Rivers. She would pass the time learning herbal medicine with the mage next door, who sometimes taught her pretty tunes on her pan flute.

When she turned 13, Wiek had gifted her a small flute of her own. She was beyond ecstatic, shedding her disguise and showing her true form in their home, hugging her brother tightly. Unfortunately, their landlord had chosen that evening to ask them for their rent. He walked in and saw the siblings in their true form and went ballistic. He pinned Wiek down, hurling punches as Wiek tried to be free of him. Visk tried to get the man off her brother but was thrown halfway across the room. Wiek screamed for her to get away and run but she kept trying until the landlord choked his last words out of her brother. She turned and immediately returned to her human form, running out of the hallway.

She started anew, shed Maggie Rivers and changed her appearance. She was adopted by a very old Tortle monarch named Kanni who was passing by the Mere of Dead Men with her tribe, and she took her to travel as a nomad to the South. She had given her a thin knife and enchanted it so that it could become a longsword at Visk's command, the only one in his tribe who knew that Visk would never be free of violence like the rest of the Tortles. When she died, Visk separated herself from the clan and built a house, on the outskirts of Baldur's Gate, honing her skills of dexterity with one singular goal: to find the Orc tribe which killed her parents all those years ago.

At 26, she's independent and capable of defending herself, with the flute her brother gave her and the knife in hand she started to travel to the North. She has never shown her true form since that night and would kill anyone who asked her to do it.

Campaign
Visk headed to the Yawning Portal to meet Bonnie, who claims to have information about the orc tribe that killed her family. Before she can get much information, she is interrupted by Euphrasie. Eventually, she and the party accept a request from
