In addition to the promise of festivities, she hoped that the magical Briarwoods would take interest in developing her natural sorceress magic. Shortly before the Whitestone Rebellion in 810 PD, she and her parents were invited to dine with the Briarwoods and told they were going to serve a greater purpose. The Briarwoods took over the city when Laudna was a young woman. She once had a crush on a young boy named Andy, but he threw dirt in her face. Even as a young girl, she was thought of as the freak of the town. She was something of a late bloomer when she was a child. Laudna (then named Matilda Bradbury) grew up on a farm on the outskirts of Whitestone in Tal'Dorei, and always had innate magical capabilities. Biography Backgroundįan art of Laudna in her youth, by She prefers not to dwell on the past, beseeching others to do so in kind, that there is "no point in being sad over what can't be changed". When asked by Orym how she is the "happiest person" in Bells Hells, she commented that "the worst thing that's ever happened to has already happened," alluding to her death. She is both gullible and innately hopeful. She also shows insecurity when she feels as if she is lacking in purpose and thus tends to want to be helpful in any way. Laudna seems largely unaware of how frightening she appears (especially when she uses her Form of Dread power) and becomes offended when someone judges her based on appearances alone. In stark contrast to her ghoulish appearance, Laudna is rather bubbly, personable, and easy-going. Her eyes glow green at times, notably when she uses Eyes of the Runekeeper or Cling to Life. After her death and subsequent resurrection, the form altered to embody aspects of the Sun Tree. Originally, when Laudna used her Form of Dread, her extremities elongated and a black veil came across her face, hiding a stream of black tears pouring from her eyes. įan art of Laudna, by Nathaniel Himawan (ninesicks). Her belt holds various tools, a dead rat with a raven skull named Pâté de Rolo, and other odds and ends. She wears pointy gold cuffs on her ears to hide their edges, which were once shorn to points like an elf's. She wears tattered clothes, including a dark red blouse and a black skirt. Marisha further describes Laudna's features as "almost doll-like." She has long, thin, dark hair with a shock of white through her bangs, pulled up in a half-up bun with a rock chisel (depicted as a rock pick in official art). Her big eyes have dilated pupils, and her lips are dark. When she first appears, Laudna is fairly young, pale, and gaunt. Official art of Laudna, by Hannah Friederichs.
