Aoth Sepret

Aoth Fisher-Sepret
Elder Windcaller
"If the soul must have a duty, it is to protect the world from the inevitable."
---From Histories of the WindHer eyes are the sky in winter. A glaze of blue over the unknowable. With her stark white hair, she could be an elemental from a cold, empty plane, but her gold complexion speaks to a Mulan heritage. The black tattoos emerging from her hairline reveal she comes from wealth in Thay.
A petite woman and frail, Aoth is no warrior, nor has she ever worked a day's labor in her life if her soft skin is any evidence. She moves serenely, lingering with the sky's empty patience in every gesture. She appears youthful and has for decades now. Aoth favors elegant lines of silk in subtle but ornate patterns. The mute colors of her wardrobe let her kohl-lined eyes steal the light.
Her tone is typically flat, as free of sympathy as her expression, and yet her laughter is the peal of small silver bells. A wind circles Aoth wherever she goes, playful or fierce according to her mood.
The clasp of her cloak is a silver cloud drifting on a field of sapphire: the symbol of Akadi, Queen of Air.
Background
"Our power is not in unity. A circle's power comes from representing all of the wild world - even in its contradictions."
---From Teachings of the elders (druid oral tradition)Aoth is well-known as a druid of significant power who quickly rose to the position of elder within the Circle of Quercatha Terr. During the War for Jiyyd against the horde of Orcusgate, she was an active leader who communicated with allies across Narfell and gathered druid circles from wider Toril. Not long after the wreckage was cleansed, she began several years of far-flung travels. Since her return, her activities have primarily been tied to the Golden Geese.
Aoth married Princess Elizabeth Fisher shortly before the declaration of the Cleimants. She presently serves as the Crown's Master of Diplomacy, but she also recently opened a messaging service with her flock of awakened and trained birds.
Her past came into public awareness during this same period. While she bore the Fire of Devastation, her tattooed head was fully revealed, and her wedding was unexpectedly interrupted by her cousin, Bennek Sepret. Consequently it's become better known that Aoth is the errant daughter of two noble houses in Thay's Priador region, the Seprets and the Kakanos, and that her father's house has suffered extermination/assimilation under the latter.
Reputation
"Name me one duty that one can perform in chains."
---The Dialogue on Duty (unauthorized)True to her elemental nature, Aoth's presence is at best emotionally unavailable, though she can be quick to fall into simmering storms of anger or bursts of laughter. With a marked inability to remain still, she's known to pace when in contact with the ground, and some say this restlessness extends to her opinions and commitments. Her motivations and allegiances are often portrayed as enigmatic by the Peltarch press, but her belief in her wife, at least, could hardly be questioned by observant councilors.
When adventuring, Aoth usually adopts the role of a spellcaster, but in moments of need, she will dart into melee with her detached and deliberate air intact. Her fear of caves and prisons is known to become overwhelming when she feels trapped. When the opportunity is present, she will render cages and chains unusable. She is known to habitually free even bound earth elementals from the prison of a golem's shape.

Shifter Forms
When wildshaped, Aoth often has a white-gray coat or streaks of pale feathers and fur. In the proper skin, she displays a savage viciousness unlike her demure human presence and seems to become another creature altogether.
