With the storms of Ondra's Mortar calmed, Captain Variel of the Guiding Star (formerly the Watcher of Caed Nua) wanted to be the first Eoran ship captain to reach Yezhua. Aloth, finally freed from his self-imposed responsibilities regarding the Leaden Key cult, asked to stay with Variel, now and until the end of their lives. She was never happier to say 'yes'. Accompanied by their friend (and translator), Rekke, and Variel's insatiable thirst for exploration, they sailed into the unknown.

Variel's clothing is very Vailian-inspired as she has spent most of her life on Vailian ships. She's also a big fan of puffy sleeves and the general opulance of Vailian clothes.

Doesn't ever bother to blend in, since no matter what she does her godlike features are going to make her stand out. Variel decided she might as well embrace it and dress unusually.

In the 1st outfit, the long skirt is also replaced by more tight fitting trousers (more practical), but i prefer the silhouette with the skirt. She's also wearing almost a full armour suit under all the fabric.

The only gems she wears are moonstones and opals and the only jewellery colour is silver.

Favoured weapons are swords and maces, with buckler shields for defense. Generally relies more on mobility and dexterity in combat, but is still able to take a few hits.

The marks below her eyes, on her arms and thighs (which i forgor to draw lmao) and back resemble pearls in appearance and touch. Her eyes are also pearlescent, often shifting hue depending on the light.

The moon on her forehead is not attached to her head, floating an inch or two away from her skin. She can put a finger between it and her forehead, but it's still a part of her body and can feel pain.

Scars - large one on her back and a smaller one on her forehead from a shipwreck before coming to Dyrwood, after fighting the Adra dragon: lightning damage up her shield arm, a deep cut on her jaw and chin after the end of poe1
