Roxanne du Loc

A noble human woman with dark skin and long locs gathered over her shoulders. She wears whimsical glasses with fanciful frames that lend warmth to her keen, watchful face. Her clothing combines refined noble tailoring with the practical details of a rogue’s wardrobe: hidden pockets, soft-soled boots, and a well-balanced blade kept close at hand. She carries herself as a public advocate for truth and justice, composed in courtrooms and alert in back alleys.

Born into minor nobility within a bustling mercantile province, Roxxane du Lac turned to investigative advocacy after seeing courtly law weaponized by the elite against those without status. Her pivotal moment arrived when an influential lord framed an innocent clerk for embezzlement; unable to secure justice through formal channels, Roxxane used her agility to infiltrate the lord’s private study, retrieve the true ledger, and present it in open court. The exoneration cost Roxxane her family's support, but she embraced her dual nature—mastering both legal frameworks and stealth tradecraft—to operate as an independent investigator. Now moving seamlessly between high society and dark back alleys, she uses soft-soled stealth and sharp, articulate argument to expose corrupt power structures before they erupt into open bloodshed.

She asks who benefits before she asks who is to blame. In noble company, she lets liars finish speaking, then repeats their exact words until the room hears the contradiction. When tensions rise, she adjusts her whimsical glasses, lowers her voice, and offers each side one concession they can accept without losing face. She keeps a private ledger of promises and refuses to break her own, even when doing so would be easier.

She works to keep the realms in harmony by exposing corruption before it becomes war, protecting witnesses who cannot defend themselves, and forcing powerful people to answer for the harm done in their name. Truth matters to her because peace built on lies eventually demands a body count.
