Lumi Driftmar

Lumi is a wood elf from the Aestusse Empire. She started her adventures as a naïve, love-sick young woman who had joined the Circle of the Moon as a druid. After making an ill-advised deal with a Bone Devil, she lost part of her soul (see Kali) and became insecure, unfocused, and overly emotional. She eventually reunited the two pieces of her soul and regained her confidence (and also retained the knowledge that Kali had gained during her fifty years in the Feywild). Lumi is now a multiclassed Horizon Walker Ranger and Circle of Twilight Druid who is uniquely prepared to fight the encroaching danger of the Devouring. She is currently based out of Theffendale.

Background
Lumi was born to homesteaders in the far East region of the Aestusse Empire in the village of Frostford. She grew up learning how to survive on the outskirts of society. She has many siblings, older and younger, who have all stayed in the area around their family home.

Deceased Brother
When she was five years old, Lumi's twin brother Halla went missing. Her family set out to find him and she learned her first lessons in tracking, survival, and grief. They eventually confirmed that Halla had been eaten by a polar bear and her cubs, although exactly how he ended up there remains a mystery, as he had last been seen tucked in tightly into bed, right next to his twin.

Iron Imperium
Lumi lost multiple cousins in a border skirmish with the Iron Imperium. They were members of the Aestusse military at the time. Their deaths instilled in Lumi an uneasiness towards the Iron Imperium and doubt about the future safety of her homeland.

Reasons for Leaving Home
Lumi left Frostford for a number of reasons. Growing tensions with the Iron Imperium made her think that her family would need a new place to call home soon. She would prefer to move them to a more stable area where they would still be able to live off the land as they do now. She was also being pressured by her family to marry and start her own family, which she was not interested in because of her final reason for leaving Aestus. Years ago, she had attended a traveling circus with her Aunt and cousins and was instantly smitten with an animal tamer who performed with lions during the show. Her main goal after leaving was to find this traveling circus and meet this lion tamer, now that she was an adult and of marrying age.

The Twins
Lumi mistakenly believes that her Elven clan once worshiped the Twins but some kind of cataclysm happened and a lot of people died and Mjessic sacrificed her godhood to save her brother Suki. Weston Willow is the reincarnation of Suki and has no memory of his past life (in which he is the one who created Nature's Splendor, the pocket dimension that Mjessic made sure ownership rights passed to Lumi).

Kali
After finding a trapped Bone Devil, various members of the party made deals with the creature for various reasons. Lumi traded some of her blood in order to get information about the lion tamer she was seeking. This triggered a series of events that resulted in Lumi's soul being split into two beings. One piece of her soul remained Lumi, but a more immature, incompetent version of herself. The other piece became Kali and was banished to the Feywilds by the Bone Devil, in order to force her to train for battling against the Devouring, an evil force that is gaining power in this world. While Lumi and the rest of the crew continued their adventures, Kali spent fifty years trying to survive alone in the Feywild. Eventually, the two soul pieces were reunited in Lumi's body, with each of them switching control at different times. While fighting a Black Dragon, Dag stabbed Kali, killing her. Lumi was able to take control of the body again but she would need to capture and reintegrate Kali into herself if she wanted to survive. The party eventually managed to do this and Lumi retained the Ranger training that Kali had obtained, as well as her self-confidence.

The Second Craftsmen Wars
Lumi sustained serious injuries after the battle with Vlasgall, the half-dragon/half-fire giant offspring of Rezor. Her lungs were messed up and she gets a cough whenever the weather changes drastically or she is in high elevation. Her brother Whopper found her in Mallerton, before the final battle with Rezor, and relayed that their father had recently died. After losing the battle, she and Whopper soon returned home to Frostford.

Rowan
Rowan is the reason Lumi is still alive (it was her job, for a time, to make sure Lumi stayed that way). Lumi thinks of her as a little sister, even though the half-elf is older. The two of them shared a room in Nature's Splendor, in part because Rowan still liked to keep a close watch over Lumi. Trusts her 11/10

Hagen
Hagen used to bully Lumi but in a mostly friendly way. They were very good friends before he died, was revived, and then returned home with Dent. He's back now and she trusts him 10/10.

Midge
Lumi considers Midge a good friend, interesting, dependable in a fight, but also mysterious and just a little bit scary. She was pretty attracted to Archie, a male form of Midge's, but there was no chemistry. Trusts her 10/10.

Valna
A new party member! They didn't have a chance to get to know each other before Lumi left to visit her family but trusts her 9/10.

Vemlik
A new party member! Provider of 'feel-good goop' and clockwork polar bears, Lumi is already fond of this weird new lizard-man. Trusts him 8/10.

Dent
Lumi thinks Dent is the best. Cool-headed, capable, and stalwart. She would have followed Dent to hell and back. Trusted them 10/10.

Dag
Lumi is really proud of all of the personal growth Dag has had and considers him a good friend. She doesn't quite believe that he is, in fact, now a wizard. Trusts him 10/10.

Ragnar
Lumi is still really bummed about Ragnar dying and doesn't want to think about him.

Wes
Wes was the lion tamer that Lumi thought she was in love with. He was one of the reasons she left home to begin with. But she was young and dumb and no longer has those kinds of feelings for him. He has returned to the party and is exhibiting strange new powers. Least of which, he has somehow restored his missing eye and can see a few seconds into the future. He apologized to Lumi for leaving over a year ago and she told him it was no problem. He has helped the party a lot in the short time he has been back. Trusts him 7/10.

Morgan
They were well on their way to becoming good friends before Morgan left the party to try and kill Rezor the green dragon on her own. She has not returned. Trusts her 6/10.

Cyrus
Cyrus and Lumi's relationship can be tense. When they first met, Lumi made some insensitive comments about his half-elven heritage. She has since acknowledged and processed her racism towards half-elves and apologized but she continues to mimic his unrelated accent, almost without thinking. She considers him a good friend. Trusts him 6/10. Cyrus and Lumi found out from Mjessic that they are actually related! Distantly. By many generations. And not directly. Kali and Cyrus also met briefly, when they were both in the Feywilds. There was a fight of some kind.

Quests
Lumi's goals are to defeat the Devouring and save the world, as well as find a new (stable) homeland for her extended family to move to.

Agents of Fortune
Lumi is a member of the Agents of Fortune and is assigned jobs to complete with her team. Her current ranking means that her badge is made of electrum and Purple Heart wood with a jade inlay.

Nature's Splendor
A pocket dimension, a demi-plane, a mobile headquarters, and a home. While gambling, Lumi won a deed to a parcel of land in a region she was unfamiliar with during a card game with strangers. She later learned that Mjessic made sure the deed made it's way to her so that she was the owner of a demi-plane called Nature's Splendor. By attaching an ornate door handle to any working door, Lumi is able to access a self-contained, private mountain homestead. Once the door is opened, one can access acres of forests, a small lake, and a large, elaborate home with many rooms, a kitchen, a dining room, a library, and more.

A recent renovation added a forge that is used by Faith, a blacksmith who is tied to Nature's Splendor and makes weapons for the party.

Nature's Splendor is also the location of a small memorial garden that currently holds markers for Ragnar, Dent, Morgan, Clifford the unseen servant, and Cow the horse.

Five chickens and one rooster were released into Nature's Splendor by Lumi. They reproduced and were all used to feed the refugees of Mallerton when Nature's Splendor was used to transport civilians out of the city.

Nature's Splendor was created hundreds of years ago by Wes, when he was still Suki. The door handle was owned by one of Lumi's ancestors and she owns the journal of that previous owner. Wes has created a bronze door knocker that can be used on any functional door to request access to Nature's Splendor. == Abilities ==
