Pirkosha Strigoi

As a Sanene child, Pirkosha traveled with her father, Marlin Strigoi, and his touring show. For as long as she can remember her father would always dress her up and walk her onstage to dance with him as a sideshow while the real dancers were changing outfits. At thirteen she would go onstage alone and do interpretive dances as her fathers musicians played for her, still as sideshows. She always noticed that the main women performers got flowers and sometimes expensive gifts from men that had been in the audience. Wanting attention of her own she began to watch the women onstage, learning every move she could from them. One night, at age nineteen, she wrote music to give to the musicians to play for her. As she took the stage she began to dance, using the steps she learned from the women and even one of their skimpy outfits. Noticing the howls from men and that the main performers were still changing, Marlin ran onstage and quickly pulled his daughter offstage.

Pirkosha was four years old the last time she saw her mother. Pirkosha didn't remember much of her and would always ask about her father about her mother. He would always tell her that she was too young to know. Soon she stopped asking. Yet the night her father pulled her offstage was when she finally got her answer. Marlin told Pirkosha that her mother used to be one of his performers. She was adored by every man who came to watch her onstage; it wasn't unusual for her to get marriage proposals, but the only one she accepted was Marlins. In their second year of marriage Pirkosha was born and they seemed like a very happy couple. However, four years passed and Marlin finally learned that she had been cheating on him with men from the audiances all the years they had been together.

After Marlin explained this to Pirkosha he told her to pack her things, she was obviously too grown up for him to treat her as his baby girl. The next town they came to was Spur. Since the town was very big and seemed to have much opprotunity for a young Bard she decided to stay. A month after her arrivale she met the Heart Cleric of Taath, Roxi Teless. After speaking together Roxi, along with Foom Thurunder, converted Pirkosha to Taath. Now Pirkosha spends her days as the only Taathian Bard in Spur, digging up old lore and recording it for the temple as well as trying to lure the insane Vincentiv Landstalker into marriage.
