Pike Trickfoot
This little gnome from the Bramblewood has been
called many things—dragonslayer, savior of Exandria, champion of the Everlight, Monstah, and, more
recently, Mom. But Pike doesn’t care much what
people call her, as long as it’s said with love. Her soul
befits the mantle of the Everlight well, as she exudes
warmth, calm, and comfort. But all that cozy kindness shelters a fiery, rebellious spark that can shock
strangers and inspire raucous cheers and peals of
laughter from her friends.
After the Epilogue. Pike ultimately returned
Scanlan Shorthalt’s romantic interest after the
Whispered One was defeated and Exandria saved
once more. There was no denying that she loved
him, and they settled down in Westruun and had two
children within a year of one another, Juniper and
Wilhand’ildan (Juni and Wax for short). When the
kids went off to school (one to seminary, the other to
Westhall Academy), Pike and Scanlan decided to call
it quits, with sad smiles and promises to always be the
best of friends. And they’ve since kept that promise,
even as the two of them each sought new paths in life.
Missing her found family, Pike moved to Whitestone and built a temple to the Everlight in the city’s
Temple Ward. It’s beautiful, small, and cozy—a true
work of art down to the smallest details. Folk can
find her there most days, tending to the gardens
but always ready to lend a helping hand or a prayer.
Many mornings, Pike swings by the Slayer’s Cake to
make sure the baked goods remain as tasty as their
reputation demands. She’ll grab some fresh pastries
and coffee to go, and maybe drop off a delivery at
Kiki’s—that is, Keyleth’s—house.
Scanlan usually comes by Whitestone in the
summer, his and Pike’s favorite time of year. This is
a time for simple pleasures—eating dinners with the
kids and their Auntie Kiki, Auntie Vex, Uncle Grog,
and Uncle Percy; playing music by the fire; hearing
Wilhand’ildan and young Vax’ildan de Rolo joke in
private about their names and their weird family;
and reminiscing about times past. And sometimes,
Pike and Scanlan even wind up in bed together,
though also, sometimes not. Though Pike’s path has
diverged from Scanlan’s in one way, their lives are
never truly separated—a thing that could be said of
everyone in Vox Machina.
