Yu Suffiad

Yu Suffiad is a changeling warlock/paladin. They originally introduced themselves as Dusk, an amnesiac elf, but are an agent of the Unseelie Court from the Feywild. They are played by Erika Ishii.

Appearance
Yu first presented themselves to Bells Hells as a slender, waifish elf with tousled short black hair. Up their arm, they have a tattoo of ocean waves illustrated in polygonal fractals. They wear autumn-colored armor. She carries a rapier, the hilt of which is set with shards of crystal and metal barbs. Player Erika Ishii said that their character notes for this character portrait included "K-pop hair" and, in all-capital letters, "soft and androgynous".

In their real changeling form, Yu has opalescent white skin and dark, void-like eyes that "swirl with galaxies." They are taller and more muscular, with sharp, angular features. They wore black robes made of silk and leather. The robes had golden patterns that matched her tattoos.

Personality
To Bells Hells, "Dusk" appears wide-eyed, somewhat confused, and both excited by aspects of the Material Plane, but ultimately fixated on returning to the Feywild. In their conversation with Zathuda, Yu is calculating and a little cocky, assuring him they will complete his task and that they are not only the most effective, but also the most attractive of his servants., However, she also seems somewhat conflicted about this task, and seems to genuinely like being in the mortal realm.

Background
Yu is an agent in service to Zathuda, a Captain of the Unseelie Court, and are plotting to take down the Calloway family.

Shortly after Bells Hells left the Raha Den, they heard several people telling someone to drop their belongings. As they continued, they heard a call for help, and saw Dusk, surrounded by a number of assailants. Bells Hells joined the fight and, along with Dusk, killed or knocked out all the other combatants. After the fight, Dusk thanked the party and fell off the roof they had been standing on. She introduced herself, and they all decided to go to Taste of Tal'Dorei together. They claimed to some time prior to entering Bassuras, spent time in the Feywild and exists in a "twilighty area" thereof. They say they do not have clear memories of anything else from their history.

Dusk went with Bells Hells to A Taste of Tal'Dorei. While there, they showed a locket to the party with their companions from the Feywild, whom Fearne recognized as her parents, Ollie and Birdie Calloway. Imogen contacted them and learned they were several days away. Dusk was also able to learn the potential whereabouts of Armand Treshi by casting Suggestion on Adon Hiro.

Dusk had a conversation with Fearne in which she encouraged Fearne to fully embrace the chaos of the Feywild. Afterwards, they left to get rest, but secretly spoke to Zathuda instead, in a different accent, assuring him they would deliver him the Moontide Crown and end the Calloway line. The next day, Dusk joined Fearne and Fresh Cut Grass in visiting Esmer, and later met up with the rest of Bells Hells at Imahara Joe's.

Dusk asked Laudna out to dinner, which Laudna awkwardly deflected, unsure how to respond. Later, Orym inquired about Dusk's sword training, and the two sparred, with Orym winning the bout.

During the Deathwish Run Dusk and Orym jumped onto a crawler, claiming it for themselves. Dusk also healed Laudna, revealing themself to be a paladin. She and Laudna later discussed their early awkward encounter the previous night, and she reassured Laudna that there were no hard feelings. Chetney approached them as well, and asked that if Dusk were hunting the Calloways, that he would be glad to help if he could get a cut of the money. Dusk denied this, and later told Fearne about the exchange, which Fearne dismissed as a likely joke.

When Birdie Calloway met the party at Imahara Joe's, she did not recognize Dusk. Yu then revealed their true form, a changeling in black robes, and grabbed both Birdie and Fearne.

Yu attempted to seize Birdie and Fearne Calloway, but the rest of Bells Hells intervened. During the ensuing combat and tense discussion, Yu repeatedly cast doubt on Birdie's statements and accused her of thievery of the Moontide Crown, which Birdie admitted she had stolen. Ultimately, after much back and forth, it was agreed that Yu would leave for a month and return to reclaim the crown after the device in which it was needed had been activated. Yu then left Imahara Joe's, but not before Birdie stole the ring they used to track them.

Trivia
Dusk's true name sounds close to the word yassified, which applies to pictures changed by several "beauty filters until the subject becomes almost unrecognizable" and alternatively describes changling's ability to drastically morph their form.
