I haven’t talked much about the Dungeons & Dragons campaign that I play in on Mondays. It’s not that I haven’t wanted to because there has been so much that has happened since we started. I wanted to take the time to get to know my character and find a balance in roleplaying as her. In the meantime, I asked Bad Wolf Adventure Studios to commission art based on my character. I did this with Levinia from Curse of Strahd, so it’s no surprise that I would do this with my new character. I am so excited to introduce to you; Vesper Henshawe, my Human Sorcerer.

I wanted to give a little bit more of a description of Vesper. Vesper Henshawe is a general. Three of the player characters are underneath her hierarchy. Vesper is a student at the Academy where she has been trained as a battle mage. She has graduated from the Academy and upon graduation, she received a Ring of Spell Storing. She is looking to progress through her professional career as a military strategist. From a personality standpoint, Vesper is a hard person to get to know. She can be abrasive and difficult to work with. Her personality comes from the backstory that I built for her. I’m not going to reveal all of that yet because some of it I have kept secret from the other players, so I want to keep that secrecy now.

Roleplaying as Vesper has been entertaining. When I originally played her, I made her purposefully abrasive. She had an attitude and didn’t share much about herself with others. As the events have unfolded in our campaign, she has started to open up to the other players. One of our original players was killed by a hobgoblin which I think shook Vesper mentally. She is realizing that the more closed off she is, it may not gain her allies in the harsh world that she lives in.

Bad Wolf did such an amazing job with designing Vesper. I am obsessed with this picture as I think it captures Vesper’s personality and also the experiences she’s had throughout the campaign. I hope to write more campaign recap sessions here because there has been so much going on that our party has had to work through.
