Biography Background įan art of Laudna in her youth, by During the combat with Fresh Cut Grass when he went berserk and attacked the party, Laudna was traumatized, having interpreted a message from Delilah as, "Your friends are going to betray you." She cast Hunger of the Shadow for the first time on FCG and heard Delilah's voice saying, "You see, at the end of all things, only yourself can be relied on, when all love is taken." When Bor'Dor Dog'Son betrayed the party, Laudna used Hunger of the Shadow again to kill him even though she knew it had the potential to bring Delilah Briarwood's influence back. Due to her isolation and arrested development, she isn't equipped to deal with big emotional moments, even if social interaction have improved her skills to a degree. The first real person to accept her as she now is was Imogen, and she was devastated when Imogen seemed to reject her as well after Delilah forced Laudna to break the gnarlrock. After her death on the Sun Tree, she was rejected by all of society, and responded by creating dolls to be her friends, which she continued to play with even after joining Bells Hells. She fears rejection and betrayal, probably stemming from earliest childhood when her peers regarded her as a "freak". ĭespite her basic happiness, she has deep insecurities, paranoia, and worries, particularly about those she cares deeply for. She prefers not to dwell on the past, beseeching others to do so in kind, that there is "no point in being sad over what can't be changed". When asked by Orym how she is the "happiest person" in Bells Hells, she commented that "the worst thing that's ever happened to has already happened," alluding to her death. įan art of Laudna, by Nathaniel Himawan (ninesicks). She is both gullible and innately hopeful. Marisha Ray described her as "just a little joyful undead kind of manic pixie dream girl." She seems largely unaware of how frightening she appears (especially when she uses her Form of Dread power) and becomes offended when someone judges her based on appearances alone although after some time she started enjoying people's reactions whenever she noticed they were scared of her. In stark contrast to her ghoulish appearance, Laudna is rather bubbly, personable, and easy-going, although her emotions can fluctuate wildly. Her eyes glow green at times, notably when she uses Eyes of the Runekeeper or Cling to Life. While exploring Whitestone Castle, the image became more definitively that of Delilah, with wider shoulders and wearing her choker, in an overlapping secondary shadow of Laudna. Although for some time she managed to keep her Form of Dread tree-themed, whenever she channeled Delilah's essence the veil appeared again. But when Laudna cast Hunger of the Shadow on Bor'Dor Dog'Son after learning he had betrayed the party, she heard a slow heartbeat start up in the back of her mind, and the faint shimmer of a mourning veil folded over the top of her Form of Dread as Bor'Dor's life essence was sucked into her mouth. After her death and subsequent resurrection, the form altered to embody aspects of the Sun Tree. Originally, when Laudna used her Form of Dread, her extremities elongated and a black veil came across her face, hiding a stream of black tears pouring from her eyes. Her belt holds various tools, miscellaneous animal remains (which used to include Pâté de Rolo before he became her familiar), and other odds and ends. She wears pointy gold cuffs on her ears to hide their edges, which were once shorn to points like an elf's. She used tattered clothes, including a dark red blouse and a black skirt, although after some time traveling with Bells Hells she decided to update her outfit with a more elegant dress, more lady-like, and also a new hairstyle. Marisha further describes Laudna's features as "almost doll-like." She has long, thin, dark hair with a shock of white through her bangs, pulled up in a half-up bun with a rock chisel (depicted as a rock pick in official art). Her big eyes have dilated pupils, and her lips are dark. When she first appears, Laudna is fairly young, pale, and gaunt. Official art of Laudna, 2023 update, by Hannah Friederichs.
