D&D 5E Dark Fairytale OOC [Closed]

Yes, yes, I'm working on it. I can't decide on her 4th level ASI or magic item at the moment (and spells of course). So while I putting those off I'm working on a background.

Any areas of spellcasting the party needs (besides healing). Bards aren't really attack spellcasters.

Is a pearl of power the right power level for an uncommon magic item? I suspect Instruments of the Bard are a bit overly powered even for an uncommon magic item.

At the academy, she has a wardrobe full of gowns, dresses, and costumes that she would never think to carry with her on an adventure. Similarly, she has a sizable collection of costume jewelry and makeups. She can be dressed and ready for a ball, cotillion, or dance at a moment's (well, an afternoon's) notice. She also has a desk full of papers for several books she hopes to finish writing some day. One is a song book, another is a history of her lost village. A small charcoal sketch of her mother is framed and hangs in her quarters.

[/sblock][/sblock][sblock="DESCRIPTION and HISTORY"]HISTORY: Shavara had a sheltered childhood. Her human father was a priest of Oghma and her elven mother died in a raid against their village. Fearing for her well-being (and unwilling to raise her on his own), her father sent her off to a monastery of Oghma far away. Her natural curiosity made the transition easier than it might have been. But at home, her mother had treated her like a princess and she sometimes missed those playful times. The priests were surprised by the precocious eight year old who arrived at their monestary

There, Quillien Draynal, a bard living in the area, discovered her amazing singing voice and volunteered to mentor her. He encouraged her to learn songs. He also made sure the now teenaged Shavara was taught proper comportment and various dressing skills required of someone of a noble background as he expected her to end up among nobility when she grew up. The priests, well aware of Shavara's penchant for daydreaming, did not see her as a future priest and encouraged this mentorship. Surreptitiously he would teach her bar songs, of which initially she did not understood the double entendres. Her ability with the flute, lute, and lyre grew greatly under his tutelage. He also encouraged her to learn acting and other performance styles, which fed her penchant for dressing up.

At her father's request, she was also taught how to defend herself. Her ability with the rapier exceeded that of her teachers at the monastery. When she came of age and sought the calling of Oghma, she found she did not have the true calling of direct clerical service. The high priest suggested she work go to the academy. There she could learn to better her rapier ability and learn more about her own abilities. Her father easily agreed since he never told her he remarried and she had a step sister fifteen years younger than herself. She knows about this. But does not say anything about it to her father.

Her arrival at the hunter's academy was quite a blow to her worldview. She knew there were "ruffians" in the world but she had never met them before. Quillien's friend Corina, being a courtesan, had tried to explain to her about the lower classes, and chastised Quillien for sheltering Shavara. Shavara quickly studied the folks around her and eventually won them over with her ability to entertain with shanty songs. Her ability with the rapier also helped. Still, other hunters find it funny that she actually furnished the room she keeps at the academy, her room would be one found at a wealthy inn instead of the other rooms at the academy that would be modest inn rooms at best.

Race: Half-Elf
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Relationship: None
Height: 5' 4" (1.6m)
Weight: 104# (47kg, 7.4 stone)
Complexion: smooth, clear
Skin: light bronze/cinnamon mix
Hair: auburn, waist length
Eyes: pale blue, slightly large
Face Structure: heart-shaped
APPEARANCE: Shavara is a lovely young half-elf woman with an unforgettable, lilting soprano voice. She ties her long auburn hair into a tight bun when she adventures but otherwise wears it long. Her eyes are the palest blue and she often seems to have an expression of surprise because of how clear and wide they seem. She sometimes overdresses for simple meetings, wearing a fine dress to a beer after work kind of get together. And yet, she might wear the same clothes for days as she pours through books looking for some tidbit of knowledge. Physically, she is of average height. Her build is obviously strong without seeming overly muscular.

She enjoys yellows, blues, and purples in her clothing. When her hair is up, she usually uses a pair of blue and purple ribbons to hold it in place. When it is down she prefers a circlet or tiara draw attention to her hair. The studs on her armor are painted dark green and black to help her blend in the forest. The leather is a dark brown as are her boots.

PERSONALITY: Shavara is inquisitive. She is not bookish. She knows how to put on a show when necessary. Though she had a sheltered upbringing, she quickly learned how to deal with the advances of men (and women), though such advances hold little interest for her. The chance to learn a new skill is an excellent lure to gain time spent with her.

Traits: I never remember how my looks affect others. Simple curiosity is sometimes seen as flirtation.
Traits: I was supposed to be a princess but ended up a sage.
Ideal: Knowledge is more important than ephemeral virtues like beauty.
Bond: Stories are bigger than the people in them.
Flaw: Aggressive or thoughtless authority must be rebelled against.

Kaleth has decent healing since I took Psionic Restoration at 5th level. I think I need to post the updated sheet. Will get that done on Monday since I am away for the holidays.

I put the pearl of power on the character sheet (which is essentially done). But getting a bard instrument would also be cool (even it only had the "common" bard instrument abilities).
I couldn't see much of a issue with the Doss Lute as it's specfic Spells are a bit naff but it obviously still gets fly and invisibility.
