Character from Curse of Strahd by Tracy & Laura Hickman, Chris Perkins / Wizards of the Coast
Kasimir's dead sister who sought to become Strahd's bride — stoned to death by her own people, she now haunts her brother's dreams from beyond the grave, urging him toward the Amber Temple.
Patrina Velikovna was a dusk elf sorceress of considerable power and ambition. She was drawn to Strahd's power and sought to become his vampire bride — a willing consort to the lord of Barovia. Her brother Kasimir, horrified, rallied the dusk elves to stone her to death before she could complete the arrangement. Strahd's retribution for losing his chosen bride was the genocide of the female dusk elves. Patrina's death triggered an extinction event for her entire people. Now she exists as a spirit trapped between worlds, haunting Kasimir's dreams. She whispers of the Amber Temple and the dark gifts that could bring her back to life. Whether her intentions are genuine — whether she truly seeks resurrection or merely seeks to complete her transformation into Strahd's consort — is one of the module's darkest ambiguities.
