Mystra's Marked: The Life of the White Witch

Tabitha Lennox

       Tabitha Marie Lennox is from the island of Amarune in the Moonshae Isles in Faerun, and island her family has ruled for hundreds of years. A prophecy has hung over the Lennox family bloodline, a line that has always been passed down through the females, since its beginning. This prophecy foretold that identical girl triplets, born in a month, day, and year that were all multiples of three, would together have the power to save or destroy the world.

       Tabitha is the youngest of identical triplets born in the triple three; the first to be born in five generations. When she and her sisters, Loretha and Agatha, were born, her parents were terrified that the prophecy would come true, so they both decided to split up their children to ensure the prophecy would never come to be. The problem was, they did not both to tell each other of their plans. Their parents were a purely political marriage, they did not love- or even truly like- one another, so their communication was always minimal.

       Their mother made a deal with a mysterious supernatural force, known only as the Mists, and gave up her firstborn, Loretha, to it; she was renamed Sypha. The triplets were only five days old when their mother did this, and neither Tabitha or Agatha were ever told about their eldest sister. Meanwhile, their father made a deal to give up their firstborn to another entity on her sixteenth birthday; he unwittingly made this pact with Lolth. Since this deal was made shortly after Loretha was given up, and her existence was erased from the records, Agatha became the target of their father's deal. Their mother sank into a deep depression that she never shook herself out of; she spent a good portion of the girls' lives drunk.

       Agatha and Tabitha were inseparable until their sixteenth birthday, when Lolth collected on their pact, turning Agatha into a black witch. Tabitha watched in horror as her sister's hair and eyes darkened and her cheery smile twisted into a scowl of contempt. She flew off, telling Tabitha she'd be back for her. Agatha's goal has been to turn Tabitha evil, while Tabitha's goal became saving her sister.

       Tabitha found a book that helped her make a her pact with Mystra to become a white witch, a beacon of good; hoping this would help save Agatha. She's convinced her sister can be saved. After Agatha was taken, their mother mentioned in a drunken stupor that it was because of the prophecy, but Tabitha could only find a prophecy about the Lennox triplets, not twins, so she was convinced it was the drink that made her mother say that. Her father fell into drugs and alcohol when Agatha was taken, leaving Tabitha with no one to help or support her.

       After a disastrous fight with Agatha one year later, Tabitha knew she needed to hide and gain power before she could save her sister. Mystra directed her to the Mists, and even though Barovia isn't a terribly safe place, it's safer than being somewhere Agatha could find her. Tabitha told her parents she wouldn't return until Agatha was saved.

       Tabitha quickly made a name for herself in Barovia, as the White Witch. She healed anyone she saw in need of it, and would try to aid anyone in need to the best of her ability. The Resistance found out about her quickly, and brought her into the fold; they gave her the ability to move through the Mists so she could bring in supplies to help them. Tabitha has been there for two years now, helping in the Resistance and biding her time, waiting to become powerful enough to save Agatha, and hoping her sister doesn't come through the Mists to find her in the meantime.

        Tabitha stands at 5'8 and weighs 158 lbs; she has some curve to her and a modest chest. She has white, alabaster, nearly translucent skin, and a porcelain complexion. Her hair is white, and goes down to her thighs; her eyes are ice blue. In the center of her chest is a silvery scar of Mystra's holy symbol.
