Laudna

 is a human Hollow One warlock/sorcerer and a member of the Campaign Three adventuring party. is played by Marisha Ray.

Appearance
When she first appears, Laudna is fairly young, pale, and gaunt. Her big eyes have dilated pupils, and her lips are dark. Marisha further describes Laudna's features as "almost doll-like." She has long, thin, dark hair with a shock of white through her bangs, pulled up in a half-up bun with a rock chisel (depicted as a rock pick in official art). She wears tattered clothes, including a dark red blouse and a black skirt. Her belt holds various tools, a dead rat with a raven skull named Pâté de Rolo, and other odds and ends.

When Laudna uses her Form of Dread, her extremities elongate and a black veil comes across her face, hiding a stream of black tears pouring from her eyes.

Personality
In stark contrast to her ghoulish appearance, Laudna is rather bubbly, personable, and easy-going. Laudna seems largely unaware of how frightening she appears (especially when she uses her Form of Dread power) and becomes offended when someone judges her based on appearances alone.

Background
She comes from Whitestone in Tal'Dorei. The Briarwoods took over the city when Laudna was a young woman, 30 years ago around the time of the Whitestone Rebellion, Laudna woke up surrounded by corpses and she believes she is a cross between dead and alive, at which point she left and never returned. She was unaware that Percival and Cassandra de Rolo had returned to power there, saying that she became "a bit of a recluse" after her time in Whitestone. She didn't talk to people much, and they didn't want to talk to her.

Imogen is Laudna's closest ally, whom Laudna met while she was in Imogen's town a couple of years ago. They "hit it off real well" and decided to start traveling together. They share a goal: to try to enter one of the conservatories located in the Spires so Imogen can do research. They have been staying together in Jrusar with their landlady, Zhudanna.

Quotations
Imogen: "Laudna, you’re scary-scary." Dorian: "When you're using their body parts, I think so." Laudna: "Wow. Don't tell Pâté." Laudna: (in Pâté's voice) "Well, you see, Laudna here was quite alone for quite some time, and she kind of needed somebody to keep her company or else she would go insane. Especially because it was just me and that voice in her head. (in her own voice) He's so silly." Ashton: It's a very broad word, isn't it?
 * Laudna: "I'm fun-scary!"
 * Laudna: "Is it rude to ask about dead people?"
 * Orym: "So why are you puppeteering a dead rat?"
 * Laudna: You know, I don't think I've ever been in love either. I mean, that's not true. I deeply love Imogen.

Trivia

 * Laudna's name likely derives from laudanum, an opium tincture historically widely used as a pain medication or to induce sleep. Its use often features in especially 19th century Gothic and horror literature.
 * The animation on her stat card features black smoke and black ooze dripping from the top of the frame.
 * One fan theory speculates that Laudna's body was at one point hanged from the Sun Tree.
 * When using the Message spell, Laudna's voice is accompanied by eerie whispers and otherworldly sound effects created by the rest of the cast. This began as a joke when Laudna tried to spook Orym with a Message, and has become a running gag. Prior to this event, her Messages had no echoes.
 * Laudna is the second player character to hail from Whitestone, following Percival de Rolo.
 * Laudna is, at present, the only member of the Campaign Three adventuring party who has darkvision.
