Combat/Tactics: Phoenix is very aggressive in combat and totally confident in her abilities. She commonly loses magic or fires arrows at her enemies to weaken them and keep them a safe distance away from her.

When in melee Phoenix fights using her bow as a melee weapon or hits her opponents with vicious power punches. If psionics are used Phoenix has 174 PSP's and the psionic powers of control flames, metamorphosis and telekinesis.

Appearance: Phoenix stands fully 6' 4" tall. She has deep red eyes, gold skin and fiery orange hair that trails down to her waist. She commonly wears tight leather breeches, high quilted boots, and a very revealing vest made of red dragon hide. Phoenix gained the vest, by first slaying the dragon it's made from.

Phoenix carries a wickedly-bladed, elven long bow made of gold that shines everbright. She is without a doubt one of the most beautiful creatures to ever walk the Realms.

Under most circumstances the common people of the Realms freak out when they see such an alien beauty. Thus she either uses metamorphosis for short term changes of appearance, or cloaks herself with illusion to appear to be a human or elven brunette of great beauty (see picture at the bottom of her entry).

Personality: Phoenix is a fiery and independent woman, who has no need of males who think they are better than women. In her early years Phoenix was cold hearted and a hard drinker.

Since then she has developed a bright outlook on life and has learnt that you can't do everything alone. Phoenix is double jointed, keen eyesight, and very steady hands.

Unique Abilities:

  • Queen of Flame: From services given to numerous gods throughout her lifetime, Phoenix has gained total immunity to all fire and heat.
  • Here is Lady Phoenix (cloaked with illusion, so her appearance doesn't cause alarm) lounging in the High Forest during the Festival of Flowers, shortly before the "War of the Bone Hordes".
