Lae'zel has yellowish-green skin, with black accents under her ochre eyes and | Lae'zel has yellowish-green skin, with black accents under her ochre eyes, cheeks and neck. Her scars, most prominent of all one that runs from her nose to her chin, give her the mean look of a seasoned warrior. Black mottles adorn her face on her cheeks, becoming proper bumps near her eyebrows. Like all githyanki, she has a small nose and her ears are long and pointed, with ridges protruding on the outer edges. Her hair, kept shoulder-length, is brown and straight, with a few adorned braids running along the side of her head. Though shorter than the rest of the companions, and with a wiry, though muscled frame, she stands proud and intimidating. | ||
=== Personality === | ===Personality=== | ||
Lae'zel is depicted as xenophobic, arrogant, and quick to anger. Proud of her race, she frequently makes comments to the party detailing githyanki customs and the nature of her people, often as a means to illustrate githyanki superiority. She can be rough in her expressions and often cares little for the feelings of others. In her mission to remove her mind flayer parasite, she does not hesitate to intimidate or harm those who would step in her way. She is fiercely loyal to her queen Vlaakith, desperately seeking to prove her worth to the Lich Queen. Over time with the party, she becomes more accepting of her companions, though never losing her biting edge. Despite her often brutish behaviour, she is keenly observant with people and frequently understands the feelings of party members. Lae'zel isn't above pragmatism either, willing to go along with a plan she disagrees with or work together with someone she dislikes, as long as the party stand to benefit. | Lae'zel is depicted as xenophobic, arrogant, and quick to anger.

When romanced, Lae'zel will slowly begin to soften to her partner, and start enjoying the small things together with them, even seeing worth in Faerûn as a place to live in. | When romanced, Lae'zel will slowly begin to soften to her partner, and start enjoying the small things together with them, even seeing worth in Faerûn as a place to live in. | ||

Lae'zel hails from crèche K'liir, a githyanki enclave on an asteroid | Lae'zel is reserved when it comes to herself, and shares only fragments of her past before the conflict against the [[Absolute]]. She hails from crèche K'liir, also known as Stardock, a githyanki enclave on an asteroid in the Tears of Selûne, an asteroid cluster near the namesake moon. There, Lae'zel received the customary githyanki martial education, with lessons on how to battle, raid and plunder in the name of Vlaakith. This brutal training instilled a hatred for illithid in her, as well as turn her into an ruthless warrior who would do anything to accomplish her missions. During her time in the creche, she and her clutch battled beholders in a nearby asteroid and infiltrated a neogi spelljammer, laying waste to its crew. Tested by battle, but still considered a youngling by her people, she wished to prove herself to Vlaakith by presenting her a severed head of an illithid. | ||
Lae'zel is captured by the nautiloid on her mission to slay ''ghaik'' to prove herself worthy to her queen, and is tadpoled in a cruel mockery of their ancestral feud. | |||
