An elderly yet spritely lady, constantly peering over her glasses and smiling, or scowling to help. She is kitted in some of her old adventuring garb (much of it antique) and looks quite awkward in her armour and shield - it used to fit and seems to slowly be coming back to her.
After years with friends and looking after children, her friends are dead (old age) and the children have all grown up. So she has finally decided it's time she went to sort out the world, not just the little souls passing her by. There is a lot to sort out. It's a right mess.
An adventurer of old, well about 80 years ago now, she still has some of her kit. It's more than a little dated. But there are things to do and no time to dilly-dally around. So lets get to these troublesome monsters and beat them up so they learn for next time.

If the paladin targets a creature that is not evil, the smite is wasted with no effect.

Step Up: Whenever an adjacent foe attempts to take a 5-foot step away from you, you may also make a 5-foot step as an immediate action so long as you end up adjacent to the foe that triggered this ability. If you take this step, you cannot take a 5-foot step during your next turn. If you take an action to move during your next turn, subtract 5 feet from your total movement.
