Glinda Glimmerhelm (Paladin)
Ever since she was a baby, all Glinda had ever wanted to be was a Paladin. Her parents tried to raise her as a traditional, industrious gnome. She learned her lessons well, but the more they pushed, the more she felt her calling going unanswered. Her request and training for apprenticeship to Tyron Laysteel, the leader of the Champion’s of Radiance, was met with skepticism and mockery from all, except for one. Tyron sat there surrounded by the most powerful heroes and royalty in the country, not to mention the Champions themselves, while she obstinately refused to let her petition be ignored. She had fought for this her whole life, afterall, and had become quite good at not giving up. At the conclusion of the ordeal, she found yourself crawling across the finish line, last in the crowd of would-be heroes to finish Tyron’s test. They had all completed it far earlier than her, the physical challenges proving difficult for one of such small stature. Tyron walked through them all and asked her directly how it felt to be a loser. Without a second thought she replied with determination, “I only lose if I give up.” Much to the shock and disbelief of all in attendance, her heart was filled with joy as Tyron immediately lifted her arm in victory, proclaiming her as an apprentice Paladin.
Tactics: Glinda prefers to protect and aid her allies stuck in melee combat. She is highly defensive with the ability to occasionally heal those who need it. She prefers to play the role of guardian, absorbing strikes others can’t take, but when she encounters undead or the clearly evil targets, she will eagerly approach to smite them with her holy power.
