Æthelflæd
Matriarch Æthelflæd (a.k.a. Thel)
Born to a carpenter father, and seamstress mother, Æthelflæd grew up with four siblings in Baldur's gate
Her childhood was filled with wonder and hardship, as money never came easily. But she was a happy child.
She discovered her gift for divination at a young age, often supplementing her family's income with her earnings as a fortune teller.
For years she was one of the most infamous tellers, known for strikingly sharp predictions, and a ruthless business acumen that earned her the reputation of a woman not to take lightly.
She fell in love, raised a family, and continued in her divination work, earning herself a pretty penny. Eventually all her brood flew from the nest, and thus she had time she never thought she could have.
Her work with the Mother's Womb vigilante group is Baldur legend. But infighting, bureaucratic corruption, incompetent leadership and treachery all but destroyed the Mother's Womb. Something Æthelflæd, the new Matriarch of The Womb, is determined to set right.
Armed with Heimdall and Alrik, two Dwarven brothers, by her side,
Æthelflæd is forging a new path, filled with deception and treacherous footing. She knows it will be tough, but nothing can match a mother's intuition and grit, and of course a good spell.
Mental characteristics
Failures & Embarrassments
What good is dwelling on failures? Regret is something I know all too well...
"Take care not to cling to it, to hold it so close that it poisons your soul."
I have known much regret, and it has done nothing but hold me back. I move forward, always, learning where and what I can, careful never to repeat my mistakes.
Mental Trauma

Morality & Philosophy
Men's hearts hold shadows darker than any tainted creature.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
To rebuild Mother's Womb, and end the corruption of Baldur's Gate's political elite, The Patriar.
The corruption, ineptitude, and evil that lurks within Baldur's Gate is something she has sworn to eliminate. While this task seems inevitable to fail, she moves forward unblinking. She was there when the movement began, a small band of idealist adventurers determined to make a difference, and even better, a deterrence.
She hopes to change the evil and misunderstood of the world, one at a time. Whether by hook or by crook, a kind word or a fire bolt, she will be damned if she won't try her best.

Diviner, psychic, cartomancer, gambler, and wizard. A gifted fortune teller, she charges at an immense rate. She can see much, and what she cannot... She keeps to herself. The future always reveals something, you need just know where to look.
