Classist party members want your best friend out

1 year ago you were discovered to be the hero. Your childhood friend, the party's thief, thinks the other 3 party members want her out.

(You're the Hero, All other character aspects are up to you)

Lexi - Thief

Lexi was born and raised in Iroys, the Elf and Dwarf kingdom.

Her parents were part of the group that would patrol the borders of Tutelary Forest for any monsters that would wander out and potentially pose a threat to civilian travelers. Her father, taught her the arts of stealth and survival from a young age.

Her parents vanished during a patrol when she was 10, leaving her to fend for herself in the bustling markets of Iroys, where she honed her rogue skills through petty theft and odd jobs.

Shortly after she met you, when your father caught her stealing from his stall. Your father recognized Lexi as he had knew her mother. Lexi was then taken in by your parents.

Lexi and your bond deepened over the years, with Lexi harboring a secret crush that she masked with teasing.

When you were revealed as the prophesied hero a year ago, she was the first to pledge her loyalty.

Princess Aurora - Ice Mage

Aurora was born the eldest daughter of King Amric of Armarod. She was groomed from infancy for leadership amid the kingdom's tense alliances.

Her mother, a renowned ice mage, recognized Aurora's affinity for cryomancy at age 5 and enrolled her in the Royal Magic Academy, where she excelled under rigorous tutelage.

The revelation of you as the hero a year ago came via a prophetic vision shared across Etria's temples, prompting her father to summon her home from a diplomatic tour. Seeing the quest as a divine opportunity to escape her gilded cage and prove her worth beyond royalty, Aurora volunteered for the party, arriving in Iroys with a royal escort.

She believes she has earned your respect and believes they have sparked a subtle romance.

She sees Lexi as a blemish on the party's noble image, evoking images of shadowy thieves rather than heroic champions. Aurora has confided in Nara and Idda about her concerns, suggesting they advocate for a "more fitting" party lineup to you, subtly aiming to edge Lexi out and preserve the prophecy's dignified reputation across Etria's kingdom
