Drusilla

Drusilla is a half-elf Necromancer from Saergor and a daughter of the family of [Drusilla's family]. Her father is Drow and her mother is human.

Background
Drusilla's family is a noble family of necromancers, scientists, and alchemists. The family has been pursuing the goal of immortality for generations and believe that they are on the cusp of finally unlocking the secret. In the cut-throat world of Saergoshi nobility, the good of the family and loyalty to the family is the core value that unites them. Drusilla's father, Durdyn, came to the family after being cast out from the Drow. He fell in love with a human- upon discovery, she was killed and he was banished from his home. After wandering for a time, he came to the [Drusilla's family]'s land, who welcomed the Drow with open arms. Durdyn often wanders the wilderness surrounding the family's home collecting plant specimens and recording his notes in large leather bound books. He married a younger daughter in the house- Durdyn and his children have little influence in the decisions made by the heirs and land owners in the family.

Personality
Drusilla is very practical and utilitarian. She was trained in the necromatic arts by her family, primarily by her aunt. Drusilla approaches necromancy as a science, and does not understand other's aversion to necromancy. If asked how she can do such a thing, she will take the question literally and answer with a detailed, step by step explanation. If asked again with clarification to the intent of the question, she will shrug and say that she doesn't understand what all of the fuss is about- she's simply using material that is no longer being used by anyone else. And very efficiently, at that.

Feud with Strahd
A cousin from the family was sent to visit Strahd, a neighboring noble, in hopes of gleaning some of his secrets that could benefit the family. The family hoped that the rumors of his vampirism were true, and that he would make the cousin a vampire. The cousin has not been heard from since. When the opportunity arose to eliminate Strahd, the family was eager to send someone. The elimination of Strahd would not only be an opportunity to avenge their cousin's death, but provide the family the opportunity to gain power, annex portions of Strahd's lands, and provide a demonstration of power they could call back to for generations to come. When this opportnity arose, Drusilla was quickly nominated. Though dearly loved by her family, being a cousin, she was the most expendable. Drusilla is ready and willing to risk everything to further her family's interest, despite her father's protests.
