Waterdeep

A woman in her early 30s with pale olive-toned skin, shoulder-length wavy black hair, and tired hazel eyes. She dresses in simple earth-tone skirts and dark aprons, with calloused hands from years of tavern work. A thin silver ring on her right hand is a keepsake from her mother.

Soft-spoken, but capable of taking charge when needed. Cares deeply about the comfort and safety of others, even at her own expense. Often avoids conflict, but despises cruelty. Hard to rattle—years of emotional strain have made her quietly tough.

Livia was born and raised in the Dock Ward, where her parents ran a once-popular tavern called The Maiden’s Tears. she inherited the tavern and tirelessly maintained it. Her specialty was homemade blackberry tarts and a robust red wine recipe passed down through her family—both became modest local favorites. However, the tavern began to decline when a mysterious hooded figure began frequenting it. This unsettling patron, who never moved after sundown, scared off nearly all her clientele. Strange rumors of vampire-like killings near her establishment added to her isolation. She became trapped—financially and emotionally—and lived in fear, but stayed open out of obligation and survival. She met Zech, one of the Trollskull proprietors, during a late-night reconnaissance of nearby taverns. Moved by her skill, exhaustion, and quiet strength, Zech offered her a position at Trollskull Manor as the Front of House Manager. She accepted, seeing it as her only escape from a haunting, cursed life.
