Background: Born in Deepingdale to an elven mother, Shaliira grew up travelling around Sembia, as her mother searched for the travelling human merchant who was Shaliira’s father. She finally found him a night too late-in a tavern in Ordulin, dying from the poisoned blade of a Cult of the Dragon agent. Shaliira’s grieving mother soon died, and Shaliira was left to dance and wait tables in Sembian taverns to earn a living. Her experiences have left her with a hatred for drunks and tavern rowdies, accomplished skills as a dancer, and a driving desire to make something of herself and to master enough magic to someday speak with her father. She hopes to get to know this dead man through talking with him.

Personality: Shaliira dreams of becoming important, well-known, and well regarded. She desperately needs to belong-to this Company, to a community, or to other fellowships or groups, and won’t rest until she has carved out or found herself a place of worth and acceptance, somewhere. Her treatment in taverns has taught her to be wary of men who only see her grace and fey beauty, but she always hopes that each new face will become that of a friend, and is slower to sink blades into them than some of her companions in the Company.

Minor Globe of Psionic Invulnerability: treat this spell in all ways as a regular minor globe of invulnerability except that it affects psionics instead of magic.
