Rays of Ruin

A captivating Asmodeus Tiefling with deep purple skin that shimmers with an inner luminescence. Bright green eyes full of intelligence and mischief, long wavy violet hair cascading down her shoulders, and two curved purple horns emerging elegantly from her forehead. She wears a salmon-pink jacket with intricate geometric patterns, a white high-collared undershirt with vertical stripes, brown leather bracers, and a wide brown leather belt decorated with metal studs and a horse-shaped buckle. Silver earrings adorn her ears, adding a final touch of elegance.

Ryder is a vibrant and charismatic individual, radiating a warmth that draws people to her despite her tiefling heritage. She possesses a natural extroversion, comfortable in social settings and unafraid to express herself. Beneath her outgoing nature lies a deep well of sensitivity and empathy, forged in the crucible of her lonely childhood. She is optimistic and hopeful, clinging to the belief that she can find belonging and acceptance, even after past disappointments. Despite her past hardships, Ryder is not pessimistic or cynical. She maintains a hopeful outlook, believing in the power of connection and the possibility of finding true community. Her impulsive nature sometimes leads her to act before thinking, driven by her emotions and desire to help others. However, this impulsivity is balanced by a growing cautiousness, born from past betrayals and losses.

Ryder Morningstar Azaroth endured a lonely childhood in Oakhurst, ostracized for her tiefling heritage. Music became her solace, nurtured by her traveling bard father, Azaroth. His disappearance when she was twelve left her with her uncaring human mother. Determined to escape Oakhurst and find acceptance, Ryder journeyed to the Bardic Academy of Eldoria. She found a vibrant community there, but tragedy struck when a meteor crashed near Eldoria, unleashing monsters. Ryder, now at Porthaven, carries the memory of lost belonging and a resolve to protect her new community.
