Needed: suitable spouse for a PCs

[Akumamajin]

Hello fellow pathfinder enthusiasts, as some of you may know, I greatly inflated the one year rebuild phase of Kelmerane. One of my players, Luther the bard, who also happens to be counsellor of the prospering city and a real peoples man, declared, that he was looking for a suitable wife and planed to marry.

Well, that is a really great RP opportunity and a great person to be forced by Jhavhul to issu the final wish in the last part of the AP. I don't want to hit him in the balls with some mean stuff, yet, but do you have any interesting ideas what would be a good girl for him? And any other adventure hooks hooked to her? I immediately thought about one of the bigger merchant families that try to buy of the scroll of kakishon in part three, maybe even Badra herself? That would pose a sweet RP situation, when she insists of her family getting the first buying rights or something :P But any other ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I am sure that Undrella would be more than happy to step in!

The way I read Badra, I don't think she would want to be associated with a 'provincial'.

What about Haleen? Not knowing your take on her, could she be a candidate?

One thought that does comes to mind is an Esmerelda type of character. A seven-veil-dancer who follows the story line of Esmerelda in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (not the Disney movie, the original from Victor Hugo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esmeralda_(The_Hunchback_of_Notre_Dame)

Just some slight adjustment to fit the Arabian Nights theme and you might have something to work with.

I never really introduced Haleen into the campaign because no one was looking for her and everything worked out quite well without her.

Badra was just a quer idea, and I aren't hellbend to use an already established character. Your Esmerelda is quite that what I was looking for: an interesting female character that poses some hooks and won't just be a b´plane "good little wife" that is just there without impact.

Or anything else: the daughter of one of the cooler merchants that settled down in Kelmerane or maybe even Zastorans nice :P I want to brainstorm what possibilities exist out there and explore what interesting story lines could be derived from that.

And now I must read up that Esmerelda wiki :P

As a sidenote: somebody got some nice classical, oriental fiction that might be a good read? Beyond 1001 Arabian Nights I remember this Layla and Majnun Story. Anything else?

Thanks

Ruth from the Bible is another one that could be leveraged. A strong girl who is willing to do anything to protect her family/ethnic heritage from destruction at the hands of another ethnic group.

There are a lot of good examples of strong women with compelling stories that you can use, though I suppose Ma Barker or Nancy Drew probably would not work well in this case.

Why not Almah?
