Allura Vysoren

Arcanist Allura Vysoren is a human wizard. She is famous throughout Tal'Dorei as a powerful arcanist and former adventurer. Allura is a member of the Council of Tal'Dorei and one of Vox Machina's principal contacts within Emon. Her home is the Ivory Tower, in Emon's central Cloudtop District. It was Allura who tasked the party, shortly before the Critical Role stream started, with travelling to Kraghammer to find her girlfriend, Lady Kima of Vord. As an NPC, she is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Allura has long, golden hair which she usually keeps braided. She is often seen wearing blue robes.

Personality
While we do not know much about Allura at this time, Matthew described her as "headstrong".

Background
Allura has stated that she made Bags of Holding as a child to pass the time on weekends when she was little, and as such is very familiar with what the magical items are and are not capable of.

It was her and Lady Kima that together defeated the Scourged Rider fifteen years prior to the events revolving around K'Varn. Because of this, both of them were offered political positions on the Council of Emon. Allura accepted the position while Kima chose to follow the god Bahamut as a paladin. It was probably during this time that she also became a member of the Arcana Pansophical. Both her and Kima have remained close friends since then, and are dating.

Vox Machina first met Allura when they were trying to get into the palace of Emon to speak with Uriel. They were barred from entering due to the recent assassination attempt, and they saw Allura angrily stomping away from the doors. The party confronted her, and she introduced herself. Allura told them that Uriel was a good and trusted man, but his recent actions—and those of his wife, Salda—were suspicious. Allura was about to give up and leave after seven days of being kept from the Council chambers. Vox Machina told her all that they had discovered from their investigation, and she led them to her home, the Ivory Tower, to further discuss the matter in private.

Allura allied herself with the party, and performed a scrying ritual on the palace with the help of Keyleth. She discovered that the royal family were all under the influence of some demonic force, and had addled the mind of Uriel to use him as a mouthpiece for their plot.

Allura was with Vox Machina when Tiberius tried to trick two trolls into leaving their campsite by appearing to them as a female troll. The situation almost ended badly for Tiberius, who became a sexual target for the trolls.

Vox Machina headed back to the Ivory Tower to meet with Allura, but found the door left open and signs of a scuffle with some demonic entity. Upon investigating the tower, they inadvertently triggered the defense systems, causing the tower to come crashing down and turn into a pearl. Several members of the group attempted to use a rug as a parachute, only for it to flip under them and begin flying. They used this Carpet of Flying to safely escape the collapsing tower, and decided to keep the magical item for their own use.

Allura later reunited with Vox Machina outside the palace gates. She warned them that the evil feeding on the throne was growing more bold, and she herself had been attacked shortly after the scrying ritual was completed and barely escaped. Dark clouds began filling the skies above Emon, and Allura aided the party in infiltrating the palace.

Tiberius at some point became infatuated with Allura. She has hinted that she likes him, though it is still unclear. He has also stated that she is a more powerful magic-user than he is.

Allura hinted that she knows Vox Machina has her Carpet of Flying, but she seemed to have decided to let them keep it.

Lady Allura introduced elementalist Drake Thunderbrand and revealed that they used to be part of an adventuring party with Lady Kima, Sirus, Dohla, and Ghenn. Years ago, they fought the ancient red dragon Thordak and managed to seal him in the Elemental Plane of Fire, but at the cost of Sirus, Dohla, and Ghenn's lives.

Lady Kima of Vord
Allura and Kima have a very close relationship. Allura was the one who sent Vox Machina to find Kima after the paladin failed to return from her vision quest.

When the two of them were reunited, they were very happy to see each other. The two of them embraced as Allura lifted Kima off the ground and spun her around. With a tear rolling down her face, Allura told Kima how worried she had been, and the halfling apologized for causing her trouble.

While living in Whitestone, Allura and Kima shared a house.

Kima became enraged when she discovered that Gatekeeper Xanthus had cast Feeblemind on Allura. As a group of lizardfolk and wyvern riders assaulted Fort Daxio, the paladin hunted down the elven mage and was disappointed when Vex'ahlia landed the killing blow against him. When the battle ended, Pike Trickfoot used Greater Restoration to return Allura to her normal state of mind. Kima then ran up to Allura and kissed her.

Tiberius Stormwind
Tiberius had a crush on Allura. When he saw the affectionate relationship between her and Kima, he assumed they were a couple and became very disappointed.

Even so, he still continued with his flirtations and eventually seemed to set up a date with Allura. However, later that evening Vox Machina got into a battle during which Tiberius brutally killed an old woman as she was sleeping. Allura was very distressed when she heard about this, and when she asked Tiberius about it he did not deny it, and in fact defended his actions. Allura left shortly after.

That was the last time Allura and Tiberius ever saw each other. Some time later, Tiberius was killed by the white dragon Vorugal.

Abilities
Little is known about Allura's abilities other than she is a formidable wizard, and is considered to be one of the most powerful arcanists in the world of Critical Role.

She is also an able enchanter, as she created Vox Machina's eighth Earring of Whisper, and installed a Sigil of Teleportation in the basement of their keep.
