Kalliste Virric

Kalliste Virric, also known as Lily, was a minor noble from the Holy Kingdom of Aventine.

History
Kalliste was born to Count Virric and an unnamed mother sometime around IY 2000. Her mother was killed in an apparent accident when Kalliste was five, and she blamed her father for the death.

By IY 2020, she had learned how to escape Virric Castle and hide in the surrounding town, and did so often. Calling herself Lily, she forged relationships with many of the town's inhabitants, including Ariel.

During the Harvest Moon of that year, she was arranged by Count Virric to be married to Aldren of the Gloucester Dukedom. She bought her concerns about the wedding to her father, citing his selfish and xenophobic nature, but was silenced. She developed a plan to escape, and started secretly sending government secrets to The Írie.

On the evening of the 13th of Harvest Moon, she encountered Dilies, Goon, Gimtharn and and Ribbles of the Dungeon Crawlies. They helped her evade capture by members of the town guard, and in return, brought them to Starry Lookout to show them the view. During this time, she expressed an intimate fondness for Dilies. Before departing back for Virric Castle, she hummed a short Astran lullaby for the her.

The next day, she was set to be married to Aldren. She made her way to the ballroom in hopes of enacting her escape, hiding a hooked rope under her wedding dress. She was surprised to discover the Crawlies she had met earlier had been hired for the ballroom's security detail, and signaled for Dilies to met her on the ballroom balcony overlooking the sea. She explained her plans to Dilies and urged them to take the rest of the party and depart before The Írie's military arrived, but she was interrupted by the sounds of canon fire.

After cutting off the more restricting parts of her wedding dress, she hooked the rope to the balcony's edge and descended with the Crawlies. Once safely on the ground, they made their way for Virric's northern port. Kalliste aided the Crawlies, now joined by Kristini, Gab, and Bounty, in their fight against Uriel's T-Rex on the docs. The group left on Captain Gregson's ship.

Once at sea, she devised a plan to board an Írie warship with the Crawlies undetected. As their ship was boarded by Írie soldiers, she cast an invisibility spell, and stealthily killed the entire boarding crew. Feeling threatened by that initiative, Kristini convinced Gab and Gimtharn to attack Kalliste. She was stabbed in the back, and in the ensuing fight lost a significant amount of blood. Dilies attempted to talk with her as she died, but she was in too much pain to register what was going on. Gimtharn delivered the final blow, crushing her head under his boot.

Personality and Appearance
Kalliste was described as a black haired, olive skinned elven woman. While presenting as a noble, she often wore long black gowns, and wore a teal wedding dress on the day of her death. As Lily, she typically donned worn leather armour, and adopted a thick, fake southern accent.
