Amabel Teltowa Am-ah-bell Tell-tow-ah
Sphinx Monster Slayer
A lion with a human head, answer my riddle or you'll be- failing my class
" The lesson is in the journey a riddle takes you on, not just in arriving at the answer. "
A descendent of The Sphinx, she spent many centuries in riddle and mystery within her designated cave of quests. The world adapted and changed around her, and slowly more riddles grew from human nature than she could create with her limited outpost. She yearned... to learn.
​
It was the eventual aid of an odd bear man that lead to her learning of, well she didn't take to the druidic magic, but she learnt the scholar transmutation magic that allowed her to change forms better suited to navigate out of her cave and into the rest of the world. As well as gaining a friend and soon an adventuring group. Perfect for one who only ever learned of the ever-growing list of monsters and things out there, and was now eager to test her knowledge by vanquishing at least one of each.

-
Nail biter when tense
If she's happy, she smiles
If she's sad she cries, although for the sake of remaining a pillar for other she turns away from sigh
If she's angry she fights back, she has a growly undertone to her voice
If she loves she becomes devoted and seeks out small things to please, like trinkets
It must be one hell of an issue to confuse her as she always knows a way to work something out. So it would displease her to anger
RELATIONSHIPS
Best Friend
Bear Ursidai
Amabel and Bear have a very buddy cop vibe to their partnership. He is also a mentor to the younger and in need. And in cases of group ups, was looked to as the leader for keeping a level head (when really his head was in the clouds). So when he found her, she took over that spot, she got his backing to quickly gain the other's trust, and in turn he got to sit back and let her be unleashed.
CloseFriend
Kamon Faltrek
He's a wild card in the group, something she is not used to handling so he can cause her to pull at her hair a lot. However, despite her snapping, she can also see his value for not always overthinking things as she does. Plus he is has a way of making her bellow with laughter and bringing up spirits in a way she knows she couldn't.
Close Friend
Quiver Fernison
A soft touch that is desperately needed at times, especially when Amabel is pushing too hard. It can take a while for her to snap back but when she does and lets Quiver's sweetness take over, she is most grateful for her. Amabel is extremely protective of the girl and makes sure she gets to experience the full range of life that she had been missing out on so far.
