Meet my Half-elf drow bard ,Aelita Martia. She was a captive/slave of Minthara's house in Menzoberranzan. She had a natural talent for disguise and deception and was trained for infiltration, seduction and espionage missions by house Baenre. She was sent on the most perilous missions as she was quite expendable, being of mixed blood.

When Minthara and her escort of Drow did not return from Moonrise towers, she was one of a number of drow agents, who were sent out to various places on the surface of Faerun to find clues of what happened to the Lolth Paladin. Aelita was gated from Menzoberranzan to the surface around Waterdeep, and got captured by the minfdlayer ship while scouting near the city of Yartar.

When she gets to the goblin camp, she will mercilessly kill all the absolutists and their leaders, but wants to keep Minthara alive, to bring her back to Menzoberranzan for interrogation and proper judgement. However when Minthara escapes, Aelita has no option other than to keep on looking for her and get her back. After they manage to find her in Moonrise and get her to move to their camp, Aelita decides that it would be more useful to keep Minthara around to join the fight against the absolute. As her respect for the other party members grows throughout he adventures, and she gets more empathic with Minthara, the Drow indoctrination that shaped her has faded, and she abandons all thought of returning to the life of a thrall of Baenre, even considers options of revenge against the matriarchs, for which Minthara seems a perfect ally.

(The name is inspired by a 1924 Soviet SF movie, called Aelita, queen of Mars)
