Shoshana, Crown Of The Unseelie
NPC Campaign 1Campaign 2An imposing majestic figure, tall and slender, with ethereal features and an otherworldly beauty. Her skin is like porcelain, with an opalescent sheen of blue or purple, depending on how the light strikes her. Her hair is long and dark, cascading down her shoulders in inky waves. Her eyes are piercing, with a cold like icebergs lit from within. Her clothing is made of dark and rich fabrics, with intricate patterns and embellishments. She wears a crown made of twisted vines in iron wood with black diamonds, it is difficult to see where hear head ends, and the crown begins as if they are integrated in some way. She seems to glide when she walks, the long robes masking the method of her perambulation.
Her voice is melodic yet commanding, every word is considered, making it almost have a rhythmic cadence. Depending on the engagement, she may seem musical with undertones of malice.
She smells of the deep forest, night blooming flowers (wisteria and tube roses), earthy moss and slightly rotted wood and peat.

Her throne is a gnarled piece of drift wood that seems to twist out of the ground and has conformed to her shape, the tiles of the palace are an arctic white and black check pattern akin to a bathroom only splotched with ichor and what might be blood.
In campaign 1
As "Auntie Suzie", a smoking, raspy-voiced, unsettling witch-grandmother hung with magic baubles, she lived in the carcass of the Fatemakers' shipwreck in May 2019 (real date). She offered them intelligence in return for a murder later; they declined, and by the next session she was gone "as if she had never been there". The party ended campaign 1 owing her "a bad boi", and in January 2021 (real date), in a Shadowfell temple to a dead god, they were still trying to escape "Auntie's clutches". She has a dagger focus and incredible hearing.
In campaign 2
The party visited Shoshana's court in 1034 to seek part of the Pact Primeval spell (Sunder Infernal Pact). She revealed herself as the Fatemakers' Aunty Suzie, and her close guards were "Braggclones". The party ended up owing her four favours. She told SAM his contract was already broken and his soul forfeit, though its second and third parts were still enforceable; told Olaf his perception was on the edge of truesight; and said she had made sacrifices to stop the Modron March, warning them not to toy with such magic.
She showed the party a dwarven city shrunk inside a bubble of residuum in the Feywild, building machines, and sent them to "seek out Guildmaster Elrithien", long dead, in Mechanus.
In campaign 3 the harengon bard Binkette became her warlock.
Also known as Auntie Suzie, Queen of the Unseelie Court, Crown Of Unseelie, Unseelie Queen, Aunty Suzie, Shoshana.
