About Pip the little

Pip is a tiefling of gnomish heritage and serves as a paladin of Iomedae in the crusades at the worldwound.

Her skin and hair are various shades of grey, and she wears loose fitting clothes in drab colors but with bright trim.

She is rather clever and creative, and ever seeks to even the odds, building on her earliest teachings of magic to use spells for advantage and to craft various items. Though lacking formal training beyond the basics, she has had to mostly figure it out for herself, and her power has outstripped her knowledge and she often spends time just figuring out what all she can do with her power.

A paladin of Iomedae was the captain of the company that had found Pip in the aftermath of her family's destruction and had allowed her to stay, becoming one of Pip's mentors, teaching her how to fight, and of course the teachings of Iomedae. During one very difficult battle, the paladin had died, and it was then that Pip truly became a paladin herself, promising to become for others what the paladin had been for her.

Pip hasn't had much experience away from constant threat of attack, and being a tiefling, those who don't know her (or do not know of her, in more recent times) are often less than friendly, giving her a rather bleak view of the world, seeing good things as rare and thus precious.

A lot of her personality was mildly inspired by the character Littlepip (I highly recommend reading her story even if you aren't normally into that sort of thing. Best story I've ever read hands down, and I read a lot). I had to upon seeing the tortured crusader archetype as it describes her so well it instantly reminded me of her so I went with it (I swear that archetype must have been made based on her). Though I've changed the character quite a bit and only mildly based on Littlepip, I added a few silly nods, such as her being Pip the Little and using a fire weapon.

The following is all the choices made for a build, and thus everything that needs to be known. Will fill in a proper character sheet with all the derivitive details at some point.
