![]() When Laudna became aware of Imogen's recurring nightmares of a red storm, she was worried and supportive. After Laudna shared her history, she was visited by the voice of Delilah Briarwood warning her that "some things are meant to be kept secret". Laudna and Imogen were in Jrusar attempting to gain access for Imogen to the Starpoint Conservatory when they encountered and joined the group later named Bells Hells. Laudna and Imogen roomed together in Jrusar with their landlady, Zhudanna, before meeting and joining up with Bells Hells. They left the town together when the inhabitants tried to violently remove Laudna from it, and Imogen saved her in an impressive, but also violent way. Ībout two years before the beginning of Campaign Three, Laudna met Imogen Temult in Gelvaan, with whom she became best friends. It was during this time that she "kind of forgot who she was, being alone for so long", and while singing to herself, gradually changed her name to "Laudna". ![]() She spent the next thirty years going from town to town, living in fixed-up abandoned shacks in the woods until chased out by townsfolk denouncing her as an undead witch. She didn't talk to people much, and they didn't want to talk to her. Having been killed before Vox Machina's arrival in the city and left during the rebellion, Laudna was unaware that Percival and Cassandra de Rolo had returned to power in Whitestone, saying that she became "a bit of a recluse" after her time in Whitestone. Laudna hears Delilah "every now and then." Although the Briarwoods are dead, Laudna began to hear the voice of Delilah Briarwood in her head around a year after Delilah died. She left the city and never returned, and believes she is a cross between dead and alive. Laudna woke up hanging from the tree when a burst of necromantic magic hit her and mingled with her natural magic. Her ears were docked into points like those of a half-elf and she was strung up on the Sun Tree in effigy of Vex'ahlia. 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.
