Okay that explains her name, I guess... assuming the folks at the orphanage also called her "red one" for twelve years.
And after reaffirming her stereotypical rogueness with the backstory, I don't think she has any right to complain about the paladin suspecting her of legally questionable behavior in the last panel.
Also I can't be the only one wondering if Lady Laeral bears a striking resemblance to a certain Tiefling and has a story about being forced to give up a child for reasons that have only recently been resolved or something else like that. This kind of screams "character development arc."
'Lady Laeral' is probably Laeral Silverhand, the Open Lord of Waterdeep, an canon character with an established romantic history--but it isn't impossible. I guess we'll find out!
She is also a 700-year-old wizard, so she wouldn't be inclined to give a fuck about the "social stigma" of a Tiefling child.
Wow, nice association on Redwen, I totally missed that.
