I just hit a follower milestone so lets pretend I didn't start this weeks ago and that this redraw is in honor of that. Anyway, throwing this to the pinterest and wattpad girlies like chicken feed, I hope they love this just as much if not more than the og. This ones for you!
Courri is my first ever d&d character. She was originally a paladin in my first ever playthrough but in pretty much every playthrough since, she’s been a druid. Here’s her tag and here’s her pinterest if you’re interested in seeing more stuff about her.
I had to dig through my old character sheets to find her Official ™ backstory because it’s been Years since I’ve played her. I’ll put it below the cut because it’s kind of long. The tl;dr of it though is she was born into a cult of Tyr and was meant to be a chosen paladin for them but she didn’t want to so she ran away and became a hermit. She’s been running from all of her problems ever since.
The long version is that Courri was born into a militant cult which worshiped the god of justice, Tyr. The cult believed that it was their job to do the ‘dirty work’ for Tyr and be a fist of justice on the world. Her parents were devout heretics in the cult so, when Courri had a vision from Tyr when she was 15 where he called her to become his paladin, she was sent to a nearby knights order to train. As one of the first members of the cult to be called by Tyr himself to service, she was regarded as the Chosen One and was expected by many in the cult to become the Prophet General who would lead them to war and exact justice on the world in a great purge of sorts once she returned.
Unfortunately for them, Courri wasn’t really feeling it. She eventually snuck out of the temple where she had been training and spent a good period of time trying to get as far away as possible before breaking into an old hovel in the forest that she stumbled upon, believing it to be abandoned. The old druid woman who the hovel belonged to beat Courri over the head for breaking into her home, but eventually agreed to take the young girl in and train her in exchange for company and doing a lot of the more labor intensive work around to hovel that the old druid woman could no longer to as easily due to her age.
After her mentor passed, Courri began traveling again out of fear that the cult was still searching for her and she’s been on the move on and off ever since. She’s currently being tracked by two different contingents from the cult, one group headed by her parents who are trying to bring back the cult’s Chosen One and the other group sent by the current leader of the cult to kill her, fearing that she’ll return and usurp his position.
