Description: She likes to wear ponchos typically of a light grey in addition to tight pants, but does not cut a very imposing figure. She walks with a slouch but will stand straight to her full 5'9" when asserting herself. She wears a small hat to hide her balding. Her fierce violet eyes like to dwell on things.

Personality: She is fixated on the number 38. She counts her steps and bites of food to keep in track with it. She seems to be used to being ignored and not questioned about it. To her fellows she is seen as friendly and intelligent, but is angry and unforgiving to the so called fatcats and any who do and have associated with them.

History: She was born the only child of a wealthy merchant. She was married off to the eldest child of a minor noble. Her spouse died of illness and she inherited everything. Days after completing her studies, news broke out that her hometown was attacked by illithids. Oriel was horrified and prayed that her mother was alright. However, she heard that her mother had died fighting off the illithids.
