Madame Kassandra Maxima
Kassandra Maxima, daughter of a half-nymph from the icebergs in Zarun and a barbarian leader. Her mother, who was born into slavery, also gave birth to Kassandra in an ancient cell in the far north.
Kassandra was then sold to a slave trader who gave her to a headmaster of a gladiator school when she was 9 years old. Although she was never treated well, she was able to spend her life helping out in the kitchen and cleaning the horses.
Until the day she got her first period and her magic awoke. Her master at the time, Trizian Tellemeus, gave her to his gladiators as a lust girl...and passed her around in orgies and festivals... For a long time Kassandra lived in a deep depression until she had a burst of rage at 16 and killed her slave owner by biting his neck...and burned down the gladiator school with everyone in the house.
Years passed that she spent on the run until she arrived in the Ravenlands. There she joined several groups and helped out as best she could. And it quickly became apparent that she had a knack for squeezing information out of people using psychology and lust.
In the last group she was with a prince's son, a cleric and a paladin. In a fight with a Corrupted Celestial, the Cleric lost the sight and Kassandra took her to Crest Fall, to the realm of the prince's son. Crest Fall was riddled with poverty and hunger when they arrived, as the prince's brother had killed his father and seized power.
After helping the prince regain his kingdom, the cleric founded the Shadow Order.
Kassandra herself was desperately looking for a way to earn money to get the little girls and women who were forced to sell themself on f the streets by threats of violence or forced dosing. That's when she founded the first Pink Pearl. Named after her own nickname , that she got after seducing an BBEG that gave her a Pearl as a gift.
But the revenge of hurt men honor is bloody... A group of men was so enraged that Kassandra kept almost 120 girls from them and protected them from them that they went to the Inn one day when Kassandra was not there. When the manager at the time asked for them to leave , the drunks locked the girls up and burned down the house.
Still known today as the "Black Wolf Incident".
When Kassandra returned, she mercilessly killed 85 of the 90 men. The last one made her life hell.. and the men got to know the perfidious vengeance of the Fey.. However, as time passed, Kassandra built what is now the The Pink Pearl Inn.
And took a different approach. She started playing the same game as the others and got involved in politics. Helped politicians, demanding favors...and so she managed to make the Pink Pearl her home and protect her girls...And become one of the most influantial Woman in Crest Fall.
Because after 200 years, she was sure she would never find the home her grandmother came from...and the girls in Crest Fall needed her help.
OCC : Kassandra is one of my oldest characters and evolved from an elf. To a nymph who opened a brothel. Today she has another story.
