(Q)
"Whattyawant?"
RL Biography
Began her journey in May of 2017, Qadupae (pronounced Kah-doo-pay) was introduced to Ethereal Tides via Dead Fox nee Red Fox and quickly fell into her newest obsession. Already a fan of cosplaying, it was an easy leap into Amtgard. She showed up first day garbed and hasn't missed a day garbing since.
Persona Biography Beginnings
Qadupae is a wanderer of the Way, traveler of worlds, and conduit/channeler of energy. A witch and previously a high priestess, she is most often found at sunset and night, even at large scale events. Quick to laugh, eager to drink, ready to dance, and fiercely protective of those she allows in her circle.
Qadupae is a thrice removed descendant of the great Esmerelda "Granny" Weatherwax of Discworld, a woman known for her practical skills as both a witch and natural homesteader. Q does her best to carry on these skills as she is honored with her name and hopes to carry her torch for many years to come. Like Weatherwax and the Achings before her, Q walks the line between life and death, good and evil, an Edge Witch that understands few things in life are cut and dry, black and white. Some of her decisions and strategies because of this are questionable.
At some point in her travels, she ended up encountering a strange temple that contained three massive creatures: a Gynosphinx, a Loquasphinx, and an Astrosphinx. If asked, Q can attest to the fact that this was the most stressful and dire of times in her entire life. The only reason she believes she was spared from being killed right away was that the trio had been passing puzzles and riddles back and forth for many eons and had grown bored with each other, so saw her as a new potential to add to their riddles. She didn't desire their respective hoards, so without a fear of her attempt to kill them, they also allowed her to live with the deal of staying and doing more puzzles and riddles with them. A hard fought deal considering the Astrosphinx wanted to just devour her. At the end of an unknown amount of time, she walked out of the temple dazed, confused, and always carrying at least one spare riddle with her.
Because of her extensive time walking through different realms, she isn't quite sure when she ended up in this one, nor does she feel a pull or need to return to her old realm. As the witches of her line normally travel the Way a lot, very few of them ever stay put enough to build a foundation on or a steading. All she knows is that she is in this realm now, possibly permanently, and she makes the most of it.
Persona Biography Current Day
When traveling the realm of Skyrim, a major change occurred in her life. Under the tutelage of the hagravens, she had a chance encounter with a band of goblins. Prior to that moment, goblins had only ever been kindling for the bonfire of war. Now, she was seeing them as helpers, assistants, and a never ending sound of amusement. The hagravens needed eyeballs? The little trio brought them back in spades. Looking for some briarheart? Don't bother looking, the gobos already found some on the way and figured you might need it. Qadupae was smitten with their eagerness and desire to always explore.
Over time, she learned about all the other variety of goblins and the other various monsters of this new realm, but more importantly learned about who they were as individuals. Eventually, she made a pact with them, "adopting" the willing goblins under her protection to call her sons and gifting them each objects as a sign of goodwill. Henceforth she renounced her title of Lady and the goblins gifted her the new title of Meemaw, to which she gladly accepted. Nothing makes her prouder now than to hear adventurers scoff and scorn and curse about the goblins they fight and their ensuing shenanigans.
