Agatha

"The twisted visage of a long-dead elven maiden, her skin withered and stretched along her hollow face and her eyes bereft of color or any spark of life"

- R.A. Salvatore, ''The Halfling's Gem

Agatha is a banshee who haunts the Neverwinter Wood near Conyberry.

History
Her name is rumored to be a corruption version of the elven surname Auglathla, which means, Winterbreeze in old elvish. In 1356 DR, she lost her mask when it was stolen by Companions of the Hall, Drizzt Do'Urden and the barbarian, Wulfgar.

Appearance
The banshee looks like she did in life: an elven maiden clad in a flowing gown. She is dead though, her skin shriveled, and eyes staring pale and blind, but these eyes, while empty, see all things.

Personality
Never powerless, Agatha still retains her wizardry skills she had in life. She may be seen anywhere in the Dessarin river region, but she avoids interactions with others, especially when she believes a powerful wizard is in the area. Agatha views the townsfolk of Conyberry as allies and will use her powers to bring food and protection to the community during harsh winters, including killing orcs or raiders who venture too near the village.

Combat
After, Drizzt robbed the mask from her grove, she sought vengeance against anyone trying to steal from her home, killing them with her murderous wail. While in combat, Agatha's favorite spell is lightning bolt, but she is constantly on the lookout for new spell books and magical items to add to her hoard.

Equipment
She once possessed a magical mask, which could change the appearance of a person into that of any other race. Outside her lair, she has hidden spell books in several places, but most are useless because of her incorporeal state, so she uses these for trading purposes.
