Ashe Bonbon

Ashe Bonbon was a Tiefling Sorcerer, specialist in pyromancy, mother of nine, and one of the original members of the B-Team.

Description
Ashe Bonbon, despite being incredibly potent in the arts of magic, refused to practice offensive magic other than fire. She would often come across as jaded and snarky, and did not have the slightest bit of honor. However, she was rather immature, especially after a wild magic incident left her 3 years younger. She often relieved her neuroticism with the use of hallucinogenic mushrooms and alcohol, which tended to amplify the effects of her wild magic curse.

Ashe Bonbon began adventuring with the B-Team as a quick way to make gold, (as she was quite greedy and gluttonous) but she grew to enjoy their presence and the validation that adventuring provided, and she continued to travel with them even after she had amassed plenty of wealth.

Ashe Bonbon grew a soft spot for one member of the B-Team, Baseball Boye, so much so that a romance developed between them.

While she was adventuring, she was often accompanied by her beloved pet, Aphrodite.

Appearance
Ashe Bonbon had pale gray skin, splotched with red scales on her torso, shoulders, elbows, and thighs. Her black hair was unkempt and went down to her shoulders. Her eyes were a fiery orange and two prominent, sharp fangs extended from her mouth. Her horns were red, tall and curved slightly backwards. She had a red, thin, tail that had a harpoon-like end. Later on in her life, she developed leathery, red dragon wings that gave her the ability to fly.

Ashe Bonbon was often found wearing baggy, ill-fitting robes that were full of her "treasure" hoard. The symbol of The Cult of The Old Voice was seared onto her chest, and her fingers were covered in shiny rings.

Abilities
Ashe Bonbon was incredibly proficient in fire magic, so much so that she has decimated entire armies with her arcane power. However, enemies that were unaffected by fire left Ashe practically useless.

She could hurl flaming projectiles from the air once she developed her red dragon wings, and knew how to twist her words to get people to be of benefit to her.

Before the Campaign
Ashe Bonbon's grandfather, decades before the events of the B-Team, struck a pact with Babe Ruth, a deceptive pit fiend who often took on the veil of a human mortal. The grandfather, who's wife was pregnant at the time, pleaded that the pit fiend not disfigure their child. And Babe Ruth did not. Rather, he would disfigure his child's child. The grandfather was relieved to find that his son had not been affected by the pact. The son lived on to marry a woman that often wore shady clothing, as she was concealing her red dragon blood. Their first child was born and the parents were shocked to discover their baby was far from human. As the child grew, it developed monstrous traits such as horn stubs, sharp canines, scales, and a fiendish tail. As a religiously devout couple, they believed they had been cursed in their childbirth, and decided that the only way to repent was to kill or exile their child.

This child was left on the streets of Lambbolt an early age. She lived off of scraps, donations, and street rats, but the innate power granted to her by her exotic bloodline, gave her a way to warm herself up, defend herself, and cook food. She picked up some things on the city streets, and eventually she named herself Ashe Bonbon, a mix of words she heard used to describe the flames she conjured.

Around the age of 16, Ashe Bonbon was offered a position in a local thieves guild, The Lamplighters. They saw that someone with unique powers like her could be useful. They began committing petty crimes and stealing from nobles that have plenty to spare. Ashe was underpaid, but for the first time in a while, she occasionally able to purchase food that wasn't just garbage or cooked rodent. But as time went on, The Lamplighters grew more and more corrupt, they moved on to serious crimes such as assassination, and began stealing from people who were already stricken by poverty.

This appalled Ashe, and although a deep, subconscious part of her wanted to embrace those awful deeds, she ultimately decided to disassociate herself from the guild. As she left, she swiped enough gold from them to pay for her eventual retreat out of the city. But before that, she spent time, disguised, searching for answers about her appearance, and the deep part of her that wishes to cave in to insidious desires. She didn't have much time, but she found that both infernal and draconic heritage pools within her, explaining the strange tongues she has been able to speak in for as long as she can remember. After learning of the powerful beings she descended from, her feelings of shame and fear surrounding her inhuman characteristics, spawned a blip of pride, for the first time.

But her time was growing short. The Lamplighters were on her trail, and she had to leave Lambbolt.

With the rest of the stolen gold she had left, she used it to pay for her travel region to region, searching for more answers, and another way to support herself. Eventually, a 19 year old Ashe Bonbon heard of a grog-drinking contest in a rural town to the far west, intrigued, she made her way to the Fiery Grog Tavern.

During the Campaign
Ashe Bonbon began travelling with the B-Team as a way to secure easy gold rewards. Starting off as somewhat aloof to the rest of the party, she grew accustomed to them as they battled giant rats and other dangerous foes within a cavern. At some point on this quest, Ashe found a stashed away medallion with a strange symbol on it. Adorning it spontaneously, Bonbon's flesh was seared, and she was branded with an eldritch sigil. After this, she found herself to be cursed with Wild Magic.

Her magic however, still grew more powerful over time on her adventures, but she was still afflicted by the Wild Magic curse. In one incident, the chaotic energies from a cantrip of hers caused her to become biologically 3 years younger. This incident left her more immature and impulsive, and this came into play during accidents she made such as indirectly causing Lander to lose his arm.

On a trip to the now-called city of Chernozhington, Ashe found a 3-headed hell hound puppy, which she later would name Aphrodite. In future battles, Ashe and the B-Team would defeat a hydra, small armies, and a vampire king.

Eventually, at the end of their adventure, Ashe and her party were able to slay the traitorous Babe Ruth, with the help of Aphrodite's noble sacrifice. It stripped away Baseball Boye's magic powers, but the world was at peace, for a little while.

After the Campaign
Ashe Bonbon and Baseball Boye soon had a quiet wedding and settled down in a mansion on top of a cliff in Kessig. They lived in peace and settled down, Ashe ended up giving birth to 9 kids, enough for a baseball team that BBB would be the coach of. They lived happily, and died peacefully together.
