- Stavroula "Stinky" Kyari
A young acolyte, follower of Denizen, god of the grave. Abandoned as an infant on the outskirts of a farming hamlet, Stavroula had an extremely modest upbringing. Though she found herself initiated into the church by life circumstance rather than choice, she finds herself genuinely drawn to his teachings and the path of a Grave cleric. She serves under her mentor Father Uvier at the Temple of the Pantheon, a one-of-a-kind megachurch that caters to every god in Glade's pantheon. Along with the other grave acolytes, her vocation involves embalming and funeral services. Her name was given to her by her adoptive mother, Mother Saryl Kyari - the other temple children found this name unwieldy and had taken to calling her "Stinky". She seems to have accepted this name and even introduces herself as such.
Personality
Stavroula would be described by others as both "well-meaning and friendly" and "exceptionally dull-witted". Though she can read and write in two languages (common and infernal) she does not appear motivated by intellectual pursuits and would rather play or read pictorial tomes. She has a cheerful, exuberant demeanor and rarely appears downcast. Good hearted and empathetic, she naturally presumes the same of others and possesses a near complete inability to detect ill-intentioned people, and so is prone to being swindled or manipulated. Despite her supportive adoptive family her early abandonment and awareness of her own cognitive shortcomings weigh upon her and she views herself as unimpressive and unworthy of love. For this reason she seeks out praise and readily clings to those who provide her with positive attention.
From early childhood this young satyr possessed a courage several times larger than her small body, entering known dangerous places without a care and barely flinching at threats. She seemed similarly inured to feelings of sadness, with everything from scraped elbows to serious bullying seemingly sliding off her. Even her closest loved ones have only ever seen her shed tears over hilariously inconsequential things (such as having her legs shorn, which she hates), cementing a reputation as someone who never cries.
Appearance
A diminutive, slightly chubby satyr with dark brown skin and fur. Short platinum hair frames a friendly-looking face bearing brown downward-sloping eyes and a small black nose. Her full figure seems to strain at the fabric of a small, somewhat worn habit. Short furred legs peek out from under the hem of her robe, ending in hooves. Two cream-colored ram horns protrude from her head, curling forward. It appears that her headdress has not been tailored around them and they have been fed through crudely-cut holes in her veil. Her ovine ears are pierced with plain silver sleepers.
Fighting Style
A mid-line fighter who battles with a shield and her soulbound flail, Blind Justice. She calls upon the power of the God she pledged herself to and supports her partymates with malignant, necromantic magics that seem entirely at odds with her sunny personality.
Other Trivia
> Because of her upbringing as a grave cleric, Stavroula experiences no discomfort around dead bodies and remains. She possesses a surprising degree of knowledge about anatomy and medicine gained through her embalming training.
> She is a fan of entertainment literature (e.g. light novels), especially heavily illustrated ones. Her favorite book series details the life of a renowned grave cleric, Saint Kardos. She styles herself after him which is why she fights with a flail.
> Her hometown of Fenside has a non-existent satyr population and she has grown up isolated from her own kind. She has no desire to locate her birth parents, but she does wish to establish connections with other satyrs.
> Her zodiac sign is Helianthus.
