Vex'ahlia

Vex'ahlia, also known as "Vex", is a half-elf ranger/rogue and a member of Vox Machina. She is played by Laura Bailey.

Intro
"Like so many half-elves, Vex'ahlia has spent most of her life suffering the cool reception of a people who don't fully accept her.

Born of a human mother and an elven father—who only later in life took an interest in their existence—, Vex'ahlia and her twin brother Vax'ildan quickly realized the only people they could truly rely on in this world were each other.

''It was at the age of ten when the two were taken from their mother, and brought to live in Syngorn, the isolated elven city for which their father was an ambassador. He quietly took them in, but always kept an icy distance, and after too many years of disdainful looks, the pair decided to leave his indifference behind, and set out on their own.''

''Vax took to the cities, stealing small trinkets and learning the ways of the thief, while Vex kept to the woods. She preferred the isolation. Always the keen observer, she learned to hunt and to track, to spy and to shoot. And through a series of fateful events, earned herself a companion in the form of a bear—her own stolen Trinket—to fight alongside her and protect her fiercely. Also, he is adorable—and gives expert massages."''

Biography
Vex is fluent in Common, Elven (assumed based on background), Draconic, and Undercommon. Vex's favored terrain types are forests, mountains, and the Underdark. She acts as a long-ranged fighter within the group. However, she also has a bear companion named Trinket that engages in close-ranged combat occasionally, although she prefers to keep him safe from enemies. Aside from this, she is one of the stealthier members in the group, and often will scout ahead of the group in order to get information on enemies. She is also very deceptive, and can usually bluff her way through various social encounters. She is an accomplished tracker, and can use her abilities to hunt her enemies.

Vex'ahlia's alignment was originally neutral good, just like Keyleth and Scanlan, but became chaotic neutral, like Grog and Tiberius, due to many behaviors and actions culminating in the theft of Gern Blanston's flying broom and then lying about it. After a long while, due to having reflected on her choices and making an effort to change herself, her alignment changed once more—this time to chaotic good—after showing genuine concern for two enslaved Aasimar and wanting to save them.

Vex loves to haggle and is quite frugal, almost miserly, which is the result of Vax and herself being ignored by their father, Syldor Vessar, and left to fend for themselves during their teenage years.

Unofficially, she is the treasurer for Vox Machina, and often only gives cryptic answers when questioned by the group about how much gold they have.

Vex may be bisexual. She has shown interest in Jarett Howarth, Zahra Hydris, and Percival de Rolo, although some of it could be jocular rather than flirtatious. When Vex refused to pretend to be Vax's wife for a ruse, Vax retorted that she "come[s] on to every human, orc, and half-elf in the entire kingdom&hellip;"

Vex became the first party member to die outside of combat in when the party found one of the Vestiges of the Divergence, the Deathwalker's Ward, and tried to liberate it. Vex tried to search for traps, but Percy ended up triggering one by accident that damaged and killed her. Fortunately, Kashaw, who was traveling with the group, managed to initiate a risky Revivify ritual for her, which ended up bringing her back to life.

Percival de Rolo

Vex and Percy have a history of casually flirting with each other, she more so than him. Percy also tends to make custom arrows for her. Over time, Vex developed genuine feelings for the gunslinger, as proven when she rejected Saundor and his advances, claiming that "[her] heart is someone else's", in addition to kissing him during his resurrection ritual.



Trinket

Vex and Trinket became companions when she accidentally trusted poachers too much and ended up being captured by them. She killed the poachers, put the dying large female bear out of her misery, and saved her young cub. They have been together since.

Vax'ildan

 * &rarr; Main article:  Relationship between Vax'ildan and Vex'ahlia.

Vex has a twin brother named Vax'ildan, who is also a member of Vox Machina. Both of them usually work together when scouting and ambushing opponents. They haven't been separated for very long since birth, at least until after the events of, where they are forced to work with different groups of people.

Quests
Vex'ahlia, along with her brother Vax'ildan, is on a quest to kill Thordak, the ancient red dragon that killed their mother when it destroyed their home town of Byroden.

Years ago, Vex'ahlia was stalked by someone and marked for death by the Clasp. Vax'ildan dealt with the Clasp but the client is still out there. She has expressed an interest in finding out who that was and why they wanted her.
