Personality

Boisterous and loud, she addresses empty chairs as if they're occupied by annoying royalty. She laughs at her own jokes and writes in her floating journal mid-conversation.

Ideal

Excitement. Peace is for the dead; the living should be making as much noise as possible.

Bond

The 'Silverglimmer Ledger'—her journal which contains the 'undeniable proof' of her superiority over her imaginary rival.

Flaw

She is so focused on 'winning' her internal argument that she often ignores actual social cues or the severity of real threats.

Backstory

Berry was the pride of Apple-Bottom after she fended off a trio of starving ogres using nothing but her mother’s heavy oak rolling pin and a sudden, violent awakening of telekinetic might. While the village elders were busy commissionging a statue, Berry was busy being bored to tears. The quiet life of a local legend didn't suit her; the gratitude felt heavy, and the peace felt stagnant. She realized she lacked a challenge, so she manifested one: Lord Silverglimmer, an imaginary, impossibly arrogant High Elf knight who lives in the corners of her mind and 'claims' responsibility for all her tactical brilliance.

Now, Berry travels the world as a whirling dervish of psionic energy, not to save it, but to prove to her invisible rival that a 'simple halfling' can outshine his supposed perfection. She keeps a meticulous journal of her exploits, written in a flurry of floating quills, specifically to serve as evidence during her frequent, one-sided arguments with the air. Every monster slain and every innocent saved is just another point on the scoreboard against the void.

Abilities & Actions

Psionic Power (6/Short Rest)

Berry has 6 Psionic Energy dice (d8s). She can use them for: Protective Field (Reaction: reduce damage to herself or an ally within 30ft by 1d8+3), Psionic Strike (once per turn on a hit: deal an extra 1d8+3 force damage), or Telekinetic Movement (Action: move an object or creature 30ft).

Silverglimmer's Spite

When Berry misses with an attack, she can use a bonus action to loudly insult Lord Silverglimmer's 'failed' advice. She gains advantage on the next attack roll she makes before the end of her next turn as she pushes herself to prove him wrong.

The Ogre-Bane Rolling Pin

Berry carries her signature rolling pin (functions as a Club). While she holds it, her Psionic Strike deals an additional 1d4 bludgeoning damage as the memory of her first victory fuels her kinetic output.

DM Notes

Berry talks to 'Lord Silverglimmer' constantly, usually mocking his imaginary fashion sense or 'wrong' tactical suggestions. She gestures wildly at empty space and often orders two drinks—only to drink both herself while smirking at the empty seat. She will join any party that seems like it might provide a good story for her ledger.
