First introduced in Quoth the Raven Issue 28 as a character in the Chibiloft comics. Comoară is a young Giomorgo woman from Barovia who grew up craving adventure and is now living her dream.
Origins
Comoară was born in Barovia to a local peddler and a Vistana woman. Her mother would always claim that she had been ousted from her caravan due to a power struggle over who would become the next raunie; her father just kept his head down and struggled to make enough money to feed his little family and keep them clothed while staying on the move so his wife need not suffer static burn.
Comoară's parents were both disappointed when their child grew up lacking both her mother's strong arcane affinities and her father's talent for reading and subtly manipulating people. Instead, their daughter had weird magical talents of her own that deeply distressed her mother, especially when her daughter started 'borrowing' spells right out of her mind instead of practising her own, and made trouble for the family. Worse, Comoară developed a brash personality, coupled with a romantic notion of righteousness and 'adventure' that both her parents agreed could only lead to trouble. Regrettably for them, they were exactly right.
In 764 BC, Comoară witnessed some of the thugs who served the Devil Strahd as tax-gatherers bullying some peasants. As her family had passed through the village and been treated well enough, she decided to take a stand for the oppressed... and robbed the tax-gatherers, intending to return their money to the villagers. The terrified farmers turned her in before Strahd's wrath could befall them, and Comoară and her parents had to flee. During their frantic flight, the little family became separated, and Comoară found herself running along through the Barovian night, with a group of thugs right on her heels. A fogbank seemed to offer an opportunity for her to hide, only for it to suddenly vanish when she approached - and reveal two strangers: Slice and Wick. Comoară was about to meet the other two founding members of the Chibiloft Crew, had she but known it, and the life of adventure she had dreamed of was about to become a reality... at a price.
Combat
So long as Comoară receives clear, simple instructions before battle begins (it helps if someone makes sure to rehearse these with her a couple of times) and she does not get so excited that she starts to improvise, she is actually a very proficient combatant. She is capable of dual-wielding both pistols and light blades, and is very good at using the opportunities offered by a good flank both to deal damage and to rob enemy spellcasters of their magic.
