Pepega

Pepega is an Owl familiar. She was summoned by Reides during the Broken Crown Arc.

Appearance
Pepega is a small owl with fluffy white feathers. As of Session 57, she also wears a red ribbon.

Personality
Pepega is very cheerful familiar. She enjoys helping the party and is incredibly loyal to her summoner. Highly affectionate, she likes to be stroked and doted upon, and will often chat if spoken to - though, as an owl, she can only respond in a variety of hoots. While she does not need to eat physical food, she appreciates all of the people who try to feed her. Pepega is excellent at lifting people's spirits.

Background
Pepega met the party in Session 5 of the campaign, during their time in Port Valor. Reides conducted a Find Familiar ritual in order to summon her. Upon being summoned, she was fawned on quite a bit by the party and received many pets.

Broken Crown Arc
Reides warged into Pepega in order to spy on the Siren. While spying, both he and Pepega saw Slumberjack's face for the first time.

The Fall of Port Valor
During the aftermath of Port Valor's destruction, Pepega kept a watchful eye on the survivors who were sheltering in the Temple of Alethus. In particular, Reides tasked her with looking after Dillan. The two were quick to become friends and Pepega spent a lot of time playing with the young boy. When it was time for the Champions Valoris to leave Port Valor, Reides gifted Dillan a new owl, Monka, so that he wouldn't feel lonely without Pepega. Pepega was a bit jealous, but came to accept her fate of having a small owl sibling.

Demons of Port Valor
Pepega spent most of her time in a pocket dimension during the party's time in the Exeter. This was done as a precaution, as the Champions Valoris had to maintain a low profile and Reides was worried that an owl would stand out too much in the underground city. Once their business was completed and the Abyssal Crest was secured, Reides freed Pepega from the pocket dimension. Since she was alone for a few days, Kilwin came up with the idea of giving her an accessory as a souvenir from the Exeter. Both Reides and Pepega responded favorably to this idea, and Reides was able to get a red ribbon from Ragni Quartzhenge. Kilwin tied it around Pepega with Reides' help.

Goals
To help her summoner as best as she can, and to meet lots of nice people.
