DELIVER THE RING. Kill the king. Exterminate the fire newts. Have tea with the king for me one last time. The list goes on. The Esteemed Nazafareen, a phrase roughly translates from high elfish to Princess Schmootsy-poo, was raised by the Lady Ev, an eccentric and ancient elf famous for her menagerie and social gatherings. But none were known quite so well as Naz herself. She served as Ev’s right hand, posing as a simple pet at parties, all done up in gowns and jewels, and executing her orders behind the scenes, no matter how questionable they may be.

Being a Kenku, Nazafareen struggles with creativity and speaking alike. So when lady Ev met her very timely end, Nazafareen was at a loss. At least, she was until Ev’s last will and testament was found -- a thousand-page tome of everything she never managed to do in life. It ranges from the heroic (donate 200 Gold Pieces to the local orphanage)  to the petty (take back the ring I lost in cards twenty years back) to the nonsensical (rid the town of all it’s pigeons) to the absolutely impossible (feed the pigeons of this town the highest quality bread imaginable.) But Nazafareen doesn’t think to look ahead, and usually doesn’t think at all. All she knows is to go through the list, checking off Lady Ev’s to do list one item at a time, from page one, all the way to the end.

It’s incredibly rude to call a Kenku a bird, as they are as closely related to birds as humans are to lesser primates such as monkeys. While not exactly a slur, per se, it is still a severe insult and often will spark Nazafareen’s ire no matter how polite she or her company might be. While she will begrudgingly accept a sincere apology for such a slight, she will not soon forget anyone who continues to call her by that term in the future.

History

Nazafareen was raised by the Lady Ev, an ancient and eccentric high elf known for her extreme wealth, and her menagerie of exotic beasts. Nazafareen was her favorite -- a clever, athletic little bird who could mimic the sound of anything she heard, even if she had no voice of her own. To the public’s eye, Naza was a mindless little pet to be dressed up and made to perform party tricks. In secret, however, Naza was Lady Ev’s right hand woman in all illegal activities. Drug trading, theft, illegal auctions, and, of course, murder.

When Lady Ev finally expired, Naza was left with a will that made her the sole owner of all Lady Ev’s possessions, and a massive codex filled with Ev’s last wishes. Naza set out to complete each and every task of the six hundred seventy-three page book, no matter the task. It could be something as innocuous as delivering a ring to an old friend to something as outlandish as exterminating all the pigeons in a city. not to mention more than a few assassinations as well.

Bonus Information

Naza loves dressing up. Dresses, sunhats, costume jewelry, and more can be found within her bag of holding at all times.

She is easy to distract with treasure and closed boxes, even while working. While she can find it in her to resist the temptation, it’s a skill she will never completely master.

She is still not quite used to being seen as a person, rather than a pet and a tool. It will take some getting used to.

Nazafareen’s “speech” is an amalgamation of sounds and words taken from other people put together into sentences. It can be extremely jarring to hear, but it’s easier than having her simply squawk or write everything down in her chicken scratch handwriting, and hope her meaning is clear.

In High Elfish, Nazafareen is essentially gibberish. That is to say, Naza has been named the Elfish equivalent of Princess Snugglypoo. Naza does not like her name.
