Background

Donna grew up in a dwarven community that loved to chase after adventure. She has countless stories about all of the harrowing challenges she faced and all of the times that she could have been seriously injured or killed in the process. In fact, there is one story that sticks in her mind: the adventure that she went on alone, which ended in her needing a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

After that last injury, Donna thought it may be time to stop exploring and adventuring. The thought of her being at a disadvantage for being in a wheelchair had never crossed her mind. Donna was instead afraid of losing her loving partner, Michael. She was terrified that another dangerous adventure could mean that her life with him could be cut short. She could not imagine what life would be like without him. Adventuring was something that she loved, but she did not want to adventure again if it could mean losing him forever. Michael sweetly ensured her that he would never ask her to give up a passion like adventuring. Instead, the couple now goes on adventures together, happier than they have ever been.

Personality

Donna is bisexual and head over heels in love with her partner Michael. She has always been a thrill seeker since birth, and she would much rather use her brains than sit and debate topics any day. However, she is known to get into some serious discussions if she is passionate about the topic. Some people would say that Donna has trouble keeping still. Others know Donna to just be a ball full of energy and watching her express herself through her body is one way that she knows how to soothe herself. Donna also is a great communicator who seems to get along with everyone she comes into contact with. She has romantic tendencies which can come off to some people as slightly confusing. You will always see her personality shine as brilliant as a rainbow, which she will always stop and admire if she sees one.

Plot Hooks

1. You may find Donna and Michael in a tavern celebrating a grand adventure they just had.
2. You may find the couple in an athletics tournament going on at the local town fair.
3. Donna and Michael may request the adventuring parties’ help in trying to explore a nearby location that is rumored to be filled with a lot of monsters. They would go in by themselves, but they know that there is safety in numbers.

Wondrous Item, uncommon

This heavy brown leather book has a suede cover with the title engraved in dark letters. It allows you to engage in conversation by selecting conversation topics from the book and then selecting lines of conversation from within those topics. The book then speaks the words aloud for others to hear and can speak in any language.

The book allows users with limited or no speech to converse with others. As the book can speak in any language, it can also allow you to communicate ideas to a person whose language you do not know. Note however that the tome grants you no special ability to understand words spoken to you. You use it by physically selecting topics of conversation, at which point the book magically displays sub-categories of that topic so that you can communicate detailed concepts.

The physical sensitivity of the book can be adjusted as required for you, for example to require only the lightest of touches or to require a firm, definitive selection depending on mobility requirements. It displays topics as both text and pictures, or if you are blind, the tome can read the topics to you telepathically.

Wondrous Item, common

Appearing as a wooden cooking spoon with a few dents or chips, this spoon has 2 charges. When you strike the spoon against a hard object like a tuning fork, you can expend 1 charge as an action and then hold it against any part of your body. The spoon speaks your overall condition, including a description of hit points in terms like, “Barely wounded,” “Severely wounded,” etc. and also speaks any active condition status effects. It does not reveal the source of the effect, such as a disease or curse. The spoon regains all expended charges daily at dawn.
