Denny Belaqua - Character page

Half-Elf Denny was born into the wealthy merchant family, Belaqua, in the town of Anchor. She grew up in the port city and through her family learned much about shipping and economics. She had always planned to follow in the family tradition and live out her life in Anchor maintaining the Belaqua prosperity. Her father, Lucien Belaqua, was an Elf who raised her to be loyal to the crown. Due to their wealth, the Belaqua family spent much of their time in the capitol city. In the capitol, Denny grew close to the princess Sariel, as close to friends as a subject and princess can manage.



As she grew older, Denny discovered she had a fondess for handsome men. She could hardly resist trying out the new men who came to port. She quickly learned to use sexual power to her advantage. Her life was exactly what she had dreamed: men, money and power.

Denny's perfectly structured life took a downfall when both of her parents were lost at sea during a shipping voyage. They were declared dead, leaving Denny the sole heir to the Belaqua fortune. Eveyone in Anchor assumed Denny would step up and lead, but in her grief she fled Anchor and her sorrows. It was easier to run than to face the future alone.

After her parents' death, Denny devoted her time to becoming a Ranger. Giving up the easy seaside life of Anchor, she traveled though woods and deserts perfecting her skills. To her surprise, she was excellent with a crossbow - it became her signature weapon. She found a taste for blood and fighting, and is commonly known to cut the knee-caps off of those who anger her. The Ranger life proved to be so adventurous that she was able to forget her past.

Everything changed again for Denny the day the Usurper took power. The Usurper put out an edict marking all half-breeds enemies of the state. Denny found herself marked by her race. Rumors spread throughout the kingdom that Sariel had escaped her brother's murderous rage and was now free but being hunted. While most of the kingdom's half-breeds fled to the outskirts, Denny moved closer to the captiol. Ever the loyalist, she hoped to be of some assistance to the princess. It was while searching in the kingswood that she was captured and imprisoned in one of the Usurper's dungeons.
