It's hard to determine what's the most offputting when one first meets Daru Apsulon. The scaly skin, the cloven feet, the awkward tail not to mention horns all mark her quite clearly as a tiefling, despite her rather amateurish attempts to disguise the fact. Then there's the weird chirps and whoops she seems to emit at odd moments, particularly when she's intently studying a book. But the piece de resistance is when you occasionally notice her ear-hair elongate and turn the page for her. And yet, when she turns to speak with you, her eyes burn with an intensity, and her cultured tones bely her very awkward and offputting appearance.

Despite her obvious Tiefling heritage, Daru Apsulon was born to loving, caring farmers in Andoran, parents who even went so far as to seek Erastil’s special blessing for their newborn (perhaps in the hopes of sparing her from Infernal influence of her blood). But her devilish appearance brought the wrong kind of attention, and as an infant, she was stolen by Chelaxian fanatics, who felt the devil child should be properly raised.
Growing up, her physical appearance brought privilege and affluence to her new family, but her outside appearance belied the goodness within her heart. She had no normal relationships growing up—her new parents treated her as a meal ticket that needed to be kept in line at all costs. Daru learned at a very young age that her “parents” actually feared her, and they relied upon brutality to try and keep her in line—little did they realize that Daru maintained her best behavior out of a sense of duty and honor. But as bad as it was with her parents, dealing with other Chelaxians was far worse. For she faced either abject reverence or envy and hatred hidden behind false smiles. Yet somehow, through all this, Daru maintained her pure heart. Once she she grew old enough to escape the shackles of her adoptive parents, Daru left Cheliax at her first opportunity.
The open hatred and fear she met while traveling (due to her appearance) was refreshing at first, for she had so little experience with honesty. But the novelty soon wore off. So ill-at-ease with her outward appearance, Daru came upon a famous painting of Apsu in all his bestial glory. Daru became obsessed with the notion that Apsu was a kindred spirit, a noble creature of goodness in the trappings of a bestial form. She sought out worshippers of Apsu and tried to join the priesthood. But her appearance, complete lack of empathy and extremely grating personality soon led her to the realization she’d never succeed as a priest. While still carrying an obsession for Apsu in her heart, she left the temple and resumed her wandering ways.
Then Fate lent a hand, and forever changed Daru’s life. While traveling through a farming community in Andoran, she met her real father. He had heard rumors of a devil woman who had recently arrived in the area, and hoping against all odds that it might be his long-lost daughter, he sought her out. At first, she was skeptical, for she had been too young to remember being abducted. But he knew of her “birthmark,” the hidden mark of the blessing of Erastil which she had carried her whole life. Daru’s life finally began to make sense to her.
Unfortunately, Daru’s mother had died out of grief and the strain of her efforts to track down her stolen child. But, while very awkward at first, Daru and her father quickly bonded. But underneath the joyful reunion, Daru felt a burning hatred toward Cheliax and her “adoptive” parents. She soon felt the need to seek out a way to achieve her revenge, and, more importantly, free anyone else suffering under the yoke of Chelaxian tyranny. Soon she was recruited by the Andoran faction of the Pathfinder Society.
The Andoran Pathfinders helped Daru explore her natural talents. First she studied the art of the rapier, and indeed was an Inspired student. But her real talents came to the fore when she started to study the arcane arts. Her talents as a Magus begane to grow, and Daru knew what she wanted: just as Apsu sought the destruction of Dahak and his works, so shall Daru seek the destruction of Cheliax. Even if she has to burn each and every town herself…

[dice=KEEN Arcane Rapier attack]1d20+13+1[/dice]
[dice=iterative Rapier attack]1d20+8+1[/dice]
spend panache point to auto confirm crit threat for attack roll of 15+
[dice=adamantine piercing dmg]1d6+6+1[/dice]
[dice=intensified shocking grasp dmg]8d6[/dice]
[dice=frostbite dmg]4d6[/dice] Target staggered (and entangled if RIME)
[dice=CLW]1d8+1[/dice]

Daru is neither patient, nor wise, but she has a gentle soul, so unless definitely evil that must be destroyed, she favors less lethal methods, e.g. if diplomacy is possible, start there. Slumber Hex and using Frostbite with her attacks if violent but nonlethal. If nasty evil with SR, still might use Slumber. Opens combat by making rapier additional +1 keen (swift action). If tough to hit, use Arcane Accuracy (swift to activate, adds +6 to hit until start of next turn. then maybe use Spellstrike to cast, move to provoke a Parry and Riposte, and then deliver Spellstrike attack as well. Also, can deliver spell stored in rapier (intensified shocking grasp or frigid touch or blindness)
if crit threat and still has swift action, spend panache point to automatically confirm crit(skewering)--Spellstrike spell would also double, but not spellstored spell.
