Lynne Piper

Lynne Piper is a half-elven bard and the illegitimate daughter of Armiston Pendragon. Despite being a Pendragon, not only has she spent most of her life in lands far away from Arthuria, but she does not use her father's family name. She is torn between her mortal and demonic halves; while she wants to explore both sides of her parentage, she feels intense pressure, both from her birth father and more sinister sources, to suppress one of her halves and live as if she was purely mortal or demonic.

Appearance
Lynne, due to her half-elf parentage, is tall even compared to human adults, with an athletic build. She is fair-skinned and has a heart-shaped face with pointed ears, a short nose, purple eyes, and thin lips. Her hair is blonde and falls past her shoulders with a distinct widow's peak, and is usually pulled back into a messy ponytail.

Lynne shows a preference for commoners' clothing. When she first met Armiston, she wore a burgundy vest with a train falling past her knees, a white undershirt, a dark leather belt with a round buckle, and dark leather gloves and boots. She usually keeps her flute close by, and is known to tuck it underneath her belt like a weapon.

Personality
Lynne, much like her father in his youth, is independent and dislikes following orders. Surprisingly mature for her age, she has displayed impressive self-control long before she met her birth father. Despite being royalty, she was raised a peasant for much of her life and still has many of the mannerisms from her youth.

History
The nature of Lynne's conception and birth is unknown to everyone except her birth father, who remains silent on the matter. However, it is known that she was conceived during the Red War due to her age, and that her birth mother left her with a peasant family outside of Arthuria when she was just an infant. This family raised her as their own for ten years, until the Red War ended. At that time, the family was approached by someone claiming that their ward was the daughter of the soon-to-be-crowned king. The family took her to Camelot, where she proved her blood relation to Armiston and was subsequently taken in by him. She has been raised as a princess ever since, but she and her father regularly are at odds with one another due to her peasant upbringing and her demonic nature, which started to manifest itself shortly after she was taken in.

Natural Abilities

 * Dark Magic Resistance: As a cambion, Lynne has a natural tolerance against dark magics, including corruption.

Skillset

 * Athletic Proficiency: Due to her peasant upbringing and her father's training, Lynne is exceptionally strong and nimble.
 * Flute Proficiency: Lynne owns a flute, which she can play well.
 * Musical Hypnosis: A combination of her musical talent and innate powers as a cambion, Lynne can use her music to entrance others. However, she currently cannot control this ability well; she cannot stop her music from being hypnotic, nor can she make it more potent than just a weak trance.

Armiston Pendragon
Lynne has mixed feelings towards her birth father. She recognizes his love for her; however, she often feels that his attempts to train her to "fight" her demonic nature are an attempt to shame her for her parentage.

Lilith Pendragon
Lynne and Lilith do not have a strong relationship, positive or negative. While Lilith sometimes gives her stepdaughter advice, the two seldom talk to one another at all.

Slya Etheri
Lynne looks up to Slya as an aunt figure. She often turns to the enchantress for advice, and is always eager to spend time with her.

Trivia

 * Lynne's name is drawn from llyn and lynn, respectively the Welsh and Cornish words for "lake."
