Okay... introducting the Cyrvass sisters.
Born into a family from Arabel, in Cormyr... to counter people's opinions of their name bringing bad luck (it means 'black crow', you know), an ancestor turned from carpentry to the priesthood of Tymora, eventually founding a Temple that has spread emissaries of the Lady of Luck far and wide. With Tymora's recent favour, sparing Arabel from the dangers of the Time of Troubles, that temple has been doing well, and the family has enjoyed a time of fortune, status and ease as a result.

SUULA Cyrvass is one of a pair of twins, twenty minutes younger than her sister, SHANNI. Though a sober, plain and (some would say) staid individual who conscienciously tried to keep the family faith, she has been overshadowed at every turn by her sister's natural charm, good nature and joie de vivre. This has led to no small end of rivalry between the two sisters, in almost all things - life, love, study and play - and a headache all round for their family.
Things got worse when Suula - looking to distinguish herself from her sister in the most definite way possible - renouced Tymora on her sixteenth birthday, instead turning to the city's growing counter-culture of worshipping Tymora's twin, Beshaba. As an acolyte of the goddess of bad luck, Suula has certainly brought it amongst her family, who have had to bear the embarrassment and disapproval of their peers as a result. Though not exactly malicious, Suula has begun to take a perverse satisfaction in pointing out to everyone she meets that good luck only lasts so long.
Things changed, however, when word came that a missionary great-aunt had died, having successfully brought the word of Tymora all the way to the Moonshae isles for many years. Deciding that the Arabel priesthood of Tymora ought to be continually represented at this Temple of All Faiths, a successor was chosen - and the auguries pointed to young Shanni Cyrvass. However, the family Cyrvass have also allowed Suula to travel with her sister, weary of her rebellion, hoping that at this Temple of All Faiths she'll find a degree of aceptance... and that despite their antipathy, the two sisters will look out for one another in the world.

Aiming to try being a Neutral cleric-rogue, here, with the Trickery and Destruction domains. We'll see how that works out.
