Description
Lashara - The Red Queen - The Beginning..
The tale of the Red Queen is a lonely one of self-pursuit and tragedy... Her tale began - like many, amidst the lowly streets of Sigil many decades ago. The daughter of a lonely Tavern girl, who fell foul to the ravening lust of a Dragon in human form. Lashara as she was then known, was born to the screams and trials of the Thieves quarter and there, as the years rolled by she quickly grew to embrace its deadly dealings...
Growing to be both devious and cruel, Lashara soon developed a lust for betrayal and lasciviousness, due mainly to the way in which she was treated by others; stealing anything that wasn't nailed down, she found it easy to dupe the weak and the gullible with her beauty, charms and demeanour... But it wasn't until her late teens that she truly began to discover the hidden powers her fathers draconic blood had given her. Her skin began to develop a darker, more reddish hue to it, whilst her eyes began to burn with an inner savage fire; and these, coupled with her new found femininity she soon began to win for herself many admirers, especially amongst the weak willed and devious...
Using these tools she soon began work as a rather well paid and Escort and Courtesan to a local Merchant come Entrepreneur whose local skill as a Bard had also begun to peak her interest. With languid ease on Lashara's part the lurid Mastafar (as he was called) began to instruct her in the many Arts of the path, and to his chagrin and surprise he soon discovered that Lashara's skill would shortly, if given time and guidance would surely surpass his own. The fickle Mastafar, preferring to suffer no rival, decided then to end her life, rather than teach her further... It was to be the last mistake his petty old mind would ever make...
Sniffing out old Mastafar's treachery had come easily to Lashara, her keenly attuned sense for self preservation had quickly begun to manifest itself some years earlier, and on this occasion it was telling her that her masters' vapid inklings would surely manifest themselves with a fatal action against her. It was then that she decided to turn the spinning knife upon her wealthy mentor, and so, with the eyes and ears of a Dragon she deftly watched him from afar...
She realised that the attempt on her life would likely take place during their upcoming visit to the Realm of Kara-tur on Toril, a difficult to reach world known to many as the Forgotten Realms. They were to visit the province of Arakin in order to drop off a rare shipment of Hadralthian spices, and whilst there they were to meet a local Noble named Hashimatsu, who would in turn take delivery of the items for a mysterious buyer. When they arrived in Mi from the portal, Lashara wasted no time by immediately paying a local informant to run ahead in order to tell the noble lord that Mastafar had planned the intent to kill him by hiring a local talent for the job, a player known only as 'The Red Lotus...' Little did the lord know that Lashara was indeed the hired help, and that the assassin herself would indeed be Lashara..
Paying good money over the next few days Lashara made efforts to pay out false leads and rumour in an attempt to isolate her self from any proposed wrongdoing. Mastafar it would seem would be the only name known to local low-life, and that the fictitious Red Lotus would remain their only suspect...
Lashara wasn't to realise that Hashimatsu - the noble lord, had many ways and means to obtain the light of secret knowledge. Agents of his were already in the village many days prior to his arrival, and that a consort (or Geisha) of his own clan was watching the site for any and all unusual movements. Hashimatsu had indeed scried ahead of the beautiful Lashara for many days now, and seeing that the young girl was indeed a woman after his own heart, he quietly arranged for the girls plan to go forward. Due to his scrying he quickly understood that Mastafar had been a cruel master, and that his dealings were often suspect, he arranged for his graceful spy - the Geisha to approach the evil Mastafar and with the skills brought forth by her clan she was ordered to lay low the filthy merchant...
And there, that very night whilst the lovely Lashara slept, the deadly 'Red Lotus' struck...
Lashara awoke that morning to a strangely different world. Quietly getting dressed she made her way downstairs, only to discover the Inn in utter turmoil. It would seem that a foul and deadly murderer had struck the sleepy Inn during the night, and that the local constabulary were out in force trawling the town for suspects. As she looked Lashara could see that the common room itself was full of officious looking people, obviously there to cast some damning verdict on a scene completely out of their control. A local sheriff was taking stoic statements, whilst nearby an aging Wu'jen uttered the words of ancient spells in his efforts to scour the room for clues... Suddenly Lashara's will froze! Her panicked eyes locked forward towards a sight that seemed to make the whole common room spin and flail! A single tilted head; its blackened tongue now protruding from a face all bent with hate and rage lay staring across the room towards her - Mastafar...
'Yahaaa!' Lashara cried! It was all the young Bard could do to stifle her panicked cries! Turning away, seemingly in revulsion, Lashara madly gripped the bar, and was suddenly hit by wave upon waves of joy, followed by immediate and uncontrollable urge to consume copious amounts of alcohol... Lashara began to realise that onlookers would soon see her stifled cries of merriment, and so, with a swiftness of action born of desperation she quickly fled the common room.
Lashara's thoughts began to run riot. She knew that Mastafars wealth 'and' death would likely bring debt. And that the debt would more than likely bring enemies; enemies that were more than able to collect it... Lashara suddenly realised that her own association with Mastafar would bring her trouble, and that the only way for her to escape it 'and' them was death...
Thinking dark thoughts, Lashara made her way back to her room...
'How to escape the debtors?' she mused. 'Who was the Assassin?' and 'Why hadn't the killer slain her as well?'
All very strange, she thought. It had to be some kind of ronin thing, or some kind of blood debt stretching back to an earlier visit by Mastafar; I mean she was in Kara-tur after all, and whatever the slayers reasons were did little to help Lashara; she would clearly have to arrange a way out of this mess, and quickly! Sharply getting dressed Lashara made her way down and back to the madness of the common room.
'The assassin has to be here...' she thought,
And slowly, being careful not to attract any undue attention, Lashara slowly peaked the brim of her velvet hood and glanced around the common room; in a vaguest hope that her demon eyes would catch the lowly killer...
'Blast it! Nothing...' she cursed. If the assassin or assassins were still here then they were bloody good, damn good; and realising that she was probably overstaying her welcome, Lashara left the frenzied Inn, her thoughts awash with frantic plans for survival...
Over the past few days the streets of Mi had been strangely quiet, but today, and obviously because of the slaying, every soul in town was out; gossiping and trading, shouting and gawking. The murder it seemed was obviously the main topic of the day. And Lashara, taking up a cosy spot just across from the tavern's main entrance, began to form a cunning plan, as well as watch for new arrivals in their attempts to find the inn in town from the west.
The hours rolled by into late afternoon, when suddenly, there - just beyond the stables main gate, Lashara spied the perfect double... A young silver haired girl - perhaps in her late teens or early twenties; she was quickly helping her master to unhook a mouldy, creaky, old wagon.
'She'll do...' Lashara whispered.
Hmm... She'd have to kill them all quickly she thought... Including the two men-at-arms along with them. The task itself would be easy. All she had to do was observe the young girls movements for a while in order to gleam her burly masters whereabouts. Later she would quickly stick the guards, or swiftly use her charms to fool them, and then in the dead of night she'd quickly kill their master by stealing the room's spare key from the barman. Then, it would be a simple matter to take the girl out with quick flick of a blade and bring her blooded limp remains to her own bedchamber. Once there, Lashara would quickly swap the girls clothes with her own and Voila!
The Courtesan of Mastafar would be no more!
Unbeknownst to Lashara two Invisible blue eyes were watching her from only a few feet away. Both set within a perfect white face, and adorned with the reddest full lips the world had ever seen. Their graceful owner raised a faultless eyebrow and smiled.
"Hello my dear, no need to hide. The Master will see you now... Hmm"
And so, with the softest thud that only an angel could hear, Lashara, The Red Queen of Bards fell down to the floor, and began her walk to the stars...

The story that came along with the character was very creative. The character itself doesn't look half bad either.
