Personal history

Established approx. 40 years ago, The Bright Oaks troupe has hosted a wide cast of colorful characters with varying degrees of talent and skill. The founders were widely popular in their hayday, but without the modern creation of copyright and royalty systems, their name has fallen off and only their music remains in the mind of their audience. This weighed heavily on two of the founders and they broke off to separate and pursue their own personal fame after a fight between the four spawned from “creative differences”.
 
The split occurred when Murgoza was about 10, which would have been the last time she saw Filverel Ololen (Fil) the elf, though she occasionally receives letters and children’s plushes for midwinter and her birthday. It is assumed he has forgotten she ages like a human and not an elf. He is most likely enjoying the fame and notoriety of being a court minstrel, in service to some royal family somewhere.
 
Turning 22, Murgoza decided she should set off on her own to experience the world separate from her uncles' guiding presences. She had a hopeful idea that Maybe she could find her family or learn more about orc culture on her journeys as well. After a few months of traveling She came across information on the Grey Order and heard about their good reputation and decided, on a whim, to attend the initial try outs. She got and in figured, Why Not, and after completing the Trials, She joined the Party!

Contacts & Relations

Other notable members of the Bright Oaks troupe include Reeve and Ismay Collette and their daughter Jean who is about 8yo. Reeve and Ismay joined separately, fell in love and are now married. Murgoza was their go-to babysitter for Jean during their own shows and it kept Murgoza from being able to do much of her own thing. Reeve and Ismay are fire dancers and Jean is learning flute, something Murgoza learned alongside her to help her grow

Honorary & Occupational Titles

Murgoza has no official titles, and is unaware of her Uncle Lani's position as inheritor to his family's land and title. She is also unaware that, technically, she is the only child Lani has or will have, which Possibly makes her His inheritor.

Wealth & Financial state

She has never been particularly Wealthy, and finding taverns without booked entertainment could be difficult in summer, but between her and her uncles' talents they haven't gone hungry.

Family Ties

Bright Oaks Troupe
Mellow Quill (Mellow), a 56yo Snow Leopard Tabaxi, is the level headed leader, often dealing with conflicts both internal and external (often due to Lani’s sexual and romantic exploits). He is, however, less than affectionate and chooses to leave emotional matters in Lani’s (or occasionally Vinny’s) more capable hands. He has made a point to impress upon Murgoza the need to at least Attempt communication and diplomacy before committing to violence.
 
Landgrave Raufe (Lani), a 58 yo human, is the second remaining founder of Bright Oaks, Lani....look he’s just Dandelion ok. Avid gambler (particularly dice and cards), constant flirt, pansexual, overconfident, bratty, and considers himself wiser than he is. He remains, however, incredibly loyal as a friend and paternal figure. Definitely the one to cultivate and encourage Murgoza’s romantic views of the world.
 
Vincentius Camillus, Vinny, however, tries to meet up with the caravan a few times a year and has earned his own fame in playing in large cities for sold-out showings to nobility, and playing in taverns for commoners in between. At 64yo, he has made a very comfortable living for himself.
 
All four of her uncles do care about her genuinely, but Fil and Vinny know they’re not made for fatherhood, while Lani is in a Bit of denial about it even still.
 
All four would have at least one or two drawings/painting miniatures of Murgoza as a young child. Lani and Mellow have several from throughout the years, with Vinny having perhaps 3 or 4 with some in her teens as well, and Fil most likely only having one from before he left the Troupe.

Social Aptitude

Murgoza is an incredibly social and performative creature, raised from infancy to wrangle the attention of a crowd and its something she thrives in. Her greatest joy is found in making others smile alongside her friends and family.
 
Many winters were spent visiting her uncle Lani's friends at expensive university towns and entertaining their guests in exchange for room and board. As such she's seen and experienced a vast array of nobles' temperments.

Mannerisms

Murgoza has that edge of flirtatiousness that all bards have, but particularly the flavor of her uncle Lani. Often, she uses it to distract or diffuse tavern brawls or violent outbursts from tavern patrons, but she is also known for getting into a Touch of trouble of her own.
 
She often falls back onto the teachings of her uncle, Mellow, to pursue communication and understanding in lieu of violence. This has not been particularly helpful with her current party.

Hobbies & Pets

She has a close bond with animals, and has good relationships with her troupe's horses and pack animals.
