Editing Perla Danver (section)

== Background and Roleplaying ==

Perla Danver grew up in Neverwinter, the middle child in a merchant family with many siblings. Though she learned to be outspoken by necessity, she was slower than most of them at sums and figures, and quicker to get in fights; there was never much chance of her joining the family business. Leveraging what she did best, Perla joined the city watch when she came of age and later was involved in one of the frequent skirmishes with Luskan's orcish allies. Only a handful from her detachment survived, having been led into an ambush by the orcs. Afterward, Perla was haunted by her inability to save her comrades, only able to find solace in the temple of Ilmater, the bleeding god. After what she believed to be a vision from Ilmater himself, she left the Watch to become a novice among the Holy Warriors of Suffering, to devote her own wounded heart to others.

Having now completed her training, Perla has been sent back out into the world, to seek out those who need her protection, those who need their hearts opened to the suffering they cause, and those who need her steel. While she will face any terror bravely, especially to defend others, her experiences still haunt her and her dreams. She's not interested in the potential wealth from the Phandalin expedition, but the prospect of helping to restore an ailing community and nurture it to flourish again is more than enough attraction for her.
