About Aardiac

Aardiac is quite short even by kobold standards, standing a mere 2 feet 6 inches. She's quite dense, weighing 25 pounds. Her tail is quite long compared to her body, and is usually nearly dragging on the ground, with her just keeping it barely above the ground. Her eyes are a deep green, and she has a full, draconic snout and large horns.

Her most strange feature, however, is her scales. Her scales randomly alternate between gold and black, making odd patches of each all over the place.

She has preference for old, nearly rotten food.

backstory and personality:

Aardiac never really got along with other kobolds, largely due to her odd scales, along with her all but refusal to fight back agaisnt... Nearly anything, preferring more passive methods of subduing creatures.
When she was just a hatchling, her previously golden scales started growing back ones, and whenever she got nervous or stressed, she would start talking in insane jibberish that no-one understood. Eventually, her dark power manifested, and she was exiled for fear of her and what she might be able to do.

Thanks to her silver tongue, she managed to survive off of the generosity of travelers, as she wandered around near a human city, always afraid to enter. She always found humans interesting, and liked talking to them, but really finds it disheartening how much they distrust her.

She frequently worries about the state of her soul, with the dark powers tainting it. No idea how or why she has these powers, she's always searching for answers. In the meantime, she tries to behave as well as she can, in hopes that being a good enough person will deal with this perceived taint... And eventually, she found the teachings of aspu on her own, and does her best every day to be as much like him as possible, despite her... Darker powers.

With this event coming up, she's finally worked up the courage to head into town, if only to be at the event.
