Mary

A cleric of Koyle, who died in the ice and came back as a stitched up Undead.

Personality
Gregarious and direct, Mary B Willet became a Cleric of Koyle by accidentally following him up a mountain, and her life hasn’t really dissuaded her staying that way. Usually forward thinking Mary can act impulsive if she doesn’t like what she sees, sometimes with unfortunate effects. However, Mary’s social perceptiveness let’s her shine when she has to break down an enemy. Typically, she doesn’t hold back in telling other people how she feels… about them. When discussing herself, she is more reserved owing to her trauma.

Lore
Born over two hundred years ago, Mary became a cleric of the Storm God Koyle largely through an accident of stubbornness. Respectfully faithful in her God, Mary’s hard work and dedication won her the flying sword Tekeli-Li, which she brought with her on a scientific expedition to the northern continent of Varenis. Originally charged as a combination bodyguard and weather woman, Mary was afflicted with murderous disassociation when the expedition unearthed a mysterious pillar, after which she was vivisected and left dead on the operating table.

Awakening two centuries later and cut into several pieces, the now Undead Mary was able to sew herself back together using the Mage Hand Cantrip, escaping from the ruins of the expedition’s camp with her tattered armor and her still preserved sword. Reckoning with the trauma of her death and resurrection as an undead abomination, Mary eventually got to the town of Tourmaline, where she holed up in an Inn and tried not to go completely insane. It was during this time that she met the party, and seeing that they were intent on figuring out what was really happening, Mary joined with Starlight, Richard, and Miles, later to be joined by Nadir.

What You All Know
Basically, all of that.

Actual Backstory
That’s her backstory. Mary trusts the party enough to be fully honest with them.

Notable Equipment
Tekeli-Li: a greatsword in Mary’s possession, Tekeli-Li also functions similar to a Broom of Flying. Following some work done on it by a Blacksmith, Tekeli-Li is also a +1 Greatsword.

Berserker Mask and Armor: a Fey mask provided to Mary by a traveling merchant, this integrated with her armor and repaired it extensively. Further exposure to a number of Magical Crystals improved the armor further, making it +2 Platemail, and when worn Mary deals additional Fire damage.

Miles
Mary needlessly antagonized Miles during the beginning of their association, calling his armor heretical (despite being an undead abomination). Since then she made an effort to bury the Hatchet… though she’s excavated the hatchet and wants to use it on the alien fungus that is controlling Miles now.

Nadir Ayari
Mary respects the reclusive and silent Warlock, but wonders what is really going on with them.

Richard
Mary likes Richard, because he’s a lovely Himbo and she’s glad he and Miles are together.

Starlight
To a real extent, Mary doesn’t know what to make of the Fairy Druid. She enjoys Starlight’s company and wants to protect her and keep her safe (since Starlight reminds Mary of her little sister) but Starlight’s thought process can be rather alien at times, and it makes it hard for Mary to “get” what’s happening inside her head.
