Yvonnel Baenre II

Yvonnel Baenre was the daughter of Minolin-Fey and Gromph Baenre. During her gestation, Minolin-Fey was subjected to treatment at the hands of the illithid, Methil El-viddenvelp, to infuse the as-yet-unborn drow with the memories of the former Matron Mother, Yvonnel Baenre, her name-sake. Born self-aware, Yvonnel was a frightfully powerful priestess and mage from the moment she drew breath. Quickly assuming dominance over her mother, she was being groomed for eventual succession of Matron Mother of House Baenre. Quickly growing tired of her infancy, Yvonnel used her implanted memories of her grandmother to cast a much older version of the spell Haste, one with the supposed draw back of aging the caster 1 year each time the spell was cast. Multiple casts of the spell had the desired effect of aging the infant Yvonnel into a shockingly beautiful young woman in very short order. Yvonnel quickly took secret control over House Baenre, allowing Quenthel to maintain her public seat as Matron Mother. Yvonnel arranged for the renegade Drizzt Do'Urden and his comrades to be captured in Menzoberranzan during their rescue of Dahlia. Arranging a duel between Drizzt and his long-time rivel, Tiago for the title of "Champion of Lolth", Yvonnel used a risen Qyorl Oblodra and a ritual involving almost every spellcaster in the city along with support from Lolth and the illithid hive mind to empower Drizzt with a kinetic barrier. Targeting Drizzt's barrier, the combined might of the city of Menzobarranzan provided enough power for Drizzt to destroy the Demon Prince Demogorgon in a single blow. Yvonnel, believing Drizzt to be in the full favor of the Spider Queen despite his alignment offered him the title of King of Menzoberranzan. Drizzt refused, further fascinating the still-very-young drow. Yvonnel allowed Drizzt, Jarlaxle, Entreri, and Dahlia to leave the city with their possessions but not before cursing Drizzt. Taking advantage of his budding Abyssal Madness, Yvonnel arranged to have him hallucinate his love, Catti-Brie as a demon when he next saw her, justifying to her Aunts his release to be the Lolth's will. Drizzt managing to avoid killing his wife surprised Yvonnel. She was further surprised by her feelings in the matter. Infused with the power of a High Priestess in the full favor of Lolth and with the inherited arcane might of her father, Yvonnel quickly grew bored with Lolth's plan for her and left Menzoberranzan for the surface. There she put her immense knowledge to the task of curing Drizzt's Abyssal Madness using the powers of a Yochlol, Yaccardaria who she immediately had Grand-Master Kane banish back to the Abyss.
