Biography:
When asked about her past, Neera shrugs. She says that, before coming to Athkatla, she wandered the Sword Coast enjoying an adventurer’s life while evading the Order of Eight Staves, an organization dedicated to hunting wild mages. She talks less about her distant past, but does not hide the fact she was banished from the High Forest for her wild magic. She is quick to laugh and to chatter, perhaps a little glibly, but lashes out whenever she senses a threat to her autonomy. She is deeply invested in protecting other wild mages and seems willing to risk almost everything to do so.

Ending Storyline (Default):
Neera traveled back to the north, stopping at inns and taverns along the way, always listening happily as bards wove tales both true and false of her adventures with [Charname]. When she reached the High Forest, she was welcomed back as a hero and personally congratulated by Turlang the treant. Afterwards, Neera returned to Amn to reunite with the surviving wild mages of the Hidden Refuge, thinking she would find happiness in their company. But Neera was now restless and powerful. She soon departed, making her way to the Moonsea. With the help of a wild surge or two, she sank three docked Thayan slaver ships single-handedly, driving the Red Wizards from the city of Melvaunt. This attracted Thay’s attention, and Neera found herself hounded once again by Red Wizards. She enjoyed it, for a time, and at one point even found herself in another alliance of convenience with Szass Tam, but eventually she returned to the Sword Coast, where she lived the rest of her days with her friends and her memories.

Ending Storyline (Romanced):
Neera traveled back to the north, stopping at inns and taverns along the way, always listening happily as bards wove tales both true and false of her adventures with [Charname]. When she reached the High Forest, she was welcomed back as a hero and personally congratulated by Turlang the treant. [Charname] soon joined her. Sometimes going their own ways and sometimes reuniting with their old friends and companions, they wandered Faerun. Though the Order of Eight Staves was no more, Neera and [Charname] often found themselves opposing the machinations of Thay. One of Neera’s greatest feats was the sinking of three Thayan slaver ships single-handedly, an act that drove the Red Wizards to flee the city of Melvaunt. One day, [Charname] woke up and found that Neera was gone. She had left no note, given no sign she meant to leave. [Charname] only smiled, for he knew her destination, and in a few weeks’ time, he followed her there.
