  Additional Traits:
  Fey Ancestry: Advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put her to sleep.
Shapechanger: Can use an action to change her appearance or revert to her natural form.
  Racial Traits (Changeling)
Shapechanger: As an action, Dawnseeker can change her appearance and voice, assuming the shape of any humanoid she has seen, or revert to her natural form. She can't duplicate the appearance of a creature she hasn't seen, and she reverts to her natural form if she dies.
  Changeling Instincts: Deception and Insight.
Unsettling Visage: Once per short or long rest, she can use her reaction to impose disadvantage on an attack roll made against her. She must use this feature before knowing the result of the attack roll.
  Divergent Persona: She has proficiency with one tool of her choice, representing an alternate identity. Disguise Kit.
  Class Features (Sorcerer)
Sorcerous Origin (Divine Soul): This origin reflects her connection to both the fey and mortal realms.
  Divine Magic: She can add Cure Wounds to her list of known spells.
  Favored by the Gods: If she fails a saving throw or misses with an attack roll, she can roll 2d4 and add it to the total, potentially changing the outcome. She can use this feature once per short or long rest.
  Font of Magic: She has 9 sorcery points that she can use to gain additional spell slots or sacrifice spell slots to gain more sorcery points.
  Metamagic: At 9th level, she knows three Metamagic options. Let's choose:
  Extended Spell: When she casts a spell with a duration of 1 minute or longer, she can spend 1 sorcery point to double its duration, to a maximum duration of 24 hours.
  Careful Spell: When she casts a spell that forces other creatures to make a saving throw, she can protect some of those creatures from the spell's full force. To do so, she spends 1 sorcery point and chooses up to 3 creatures. The chosen creatures automatically succeed on their saving throws against the spell.
  Heightened Spell: When she casts a spell that forces a creature to make a saving throw to resist its effects, she can spend 3 sorcery points to give one target of the spell disadvantage on its first saving throw made against the spell.
    Born into a noble changeling family in the Dawn Court, Dawnseeker served under King Fylawirn, the Bright King. Her divine soul sorcery and shapeshifting abilities made her particularly valuable in Dawn Court politics, where she worked closely with Queen Teàrlag the Pious. During diplomatic missions, she met Lev, leading to an on-and-off romantic relationship that evolved into deep friendship and loyalty.
  Learning of Lev's coming exile in late 3021, she joined a secret group preparing to follow him. She traveled to Nehwon ahead of time, using her Dawn Court connections to establish diplomatic networks. During this preparation period, she met Thorne, Finnian, Willow, and Aura, offering her skills to their cause.
  By Lev's exile on 01-03-3022, Dawnseeker had established critical groundwork for the TC's diplomatic corps. Her chosen form - with striking silver-white hair and ethereal blue eyes - reflects her Dawn Court heritage, though she maintains multiple diplomatic personas across Nehwon.
  As TC's Diplomatic Corps Leader, she combines changeling adaptability and divine magic to forge alliances while maintaining secrecy. Her Dawn Court training in both devotional and diplomatic arts gives her unique insight into bridging relationships between fey and mortal realms.
  Current Role: Head of Diplomatic Corps, Twilight Covenant
Notable Achievement: Pre-established diplomatic network before Lev's exile

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Born during spring equinox (03-20-2976) in Dawn Court, marked by divine soul sorcery at birth. Parents were court diplomats under King Fylawirn. Showed exceptional control of changeling abilities and divine magic from childhood. Trained under Chelas, Lord of Rays. At 14, appointed junior diplomat after successfully mediating between Liciperos and Caebis. Developed signature technique combining divine magic with shapeshifting.
  Dawn Court Service (2996-3015):
Rose quickly through diplomatic ranks, becoming one of Queen Teàrlag's trusted envoys. Specialized in inter-court negotiations, earning reputation for elegant problem-solving. Divine soul powers grew, often manifesting as dawn-light during diplomatic missions. Established extensive network across fey courts.
  Lev Period (3015-3021):
Met Lev during diplomatic mission to Summer Court. Their relationship evolved from professional to personal, leading to an on-off romantic involvement that eventually settled into deep friendship and loyalty. Despite relationship changes, maintained strong political alliance.
  Pre-Exile Preparation (Late 3021):
Learning of Lev's impending exile, joined secret group planning to follow him. Used diplomatic connections to gather intelligence about Nehwon. Traveled ahead to mortal realm, establishing networks and meeting Thorne, Finnian, Willow, and Aura.
  Early TC Formation (01-03-3022 to 05-08-3022):
Already positioned in Nehwon when Lev arrived. Instrumental in early TC diplomatic foundations. Created multiple cover identities across major cities. Helped establish secure communication networks between TC members. By May 3022, formally appointed as Diplomatic Corps Leader.

Gender Identity

As a changeling from the Dawn Court, Dawnseeker views gender through a lens of divine radiance and renewal. While she consistently identifies as female, she understands gender as fluid as dawn's light, able to shift and adapt while maintaining its essential nature. Her Dawn Court upbringing emphasizes gender as an expression of inner divine light rather than fixed physical traits.

Sexuality

Pansexual with romantic inclinations, she forms attractions based on individuals' inner radiance rather than physical form or gender. Her relationship with Lev exemplified this - drawn to his spirit and purpose rather than physical appearance. Like many changelings, views physical form as merely one expression of being
