Memphis is a famous bard from Cnidaria, known for her upbeat songs and lavish persona. She married into the aristocracy and serves as entertainment for the Speaker of Spirit and other aristocrats. The population of Cnidaria rave about her, and she's known as a dramatic, passionate and kind person. Unless you are Alphy.
She was the first fiancee to Alphy, and the two had a tumoltuous relationship that ended terribly largely due to the nature of its origin. Their marriage was arranged, and the two despised each other. Alphy has not said much, but blames her, and vice versa. He has stated she made a distasteful album about their relationship that's too catchy for its own good. Their conflict has been largely petty, but it's been enough that Alphy hates all bards and thinks they're all the same. Meanwhile, most of the population and Memphis accuse him of being the problem!
Memphis is currently married to Alphy's former best-friend Ahriman, and the two have a daughter named Tempest who is Alphy's goddaughter. He sends her teeth and bones from monsters when travelling.
The party has not yet encountered her, but she has been following Alphy's journey. Memphis went out of her way to antagonise Alphy and drag him to court over nothing, wasting his time and delaying the journey at Icereach. Addiotnally, he suspects the widespread distribution of the songs about his feats may have been attributed to her, as she knows he hates attention.
