Teresa Irithyl (née Conchobhair, born Flamerule 15, 1360 DR) is the head of state of Ruqel, the founder of the Guardians of Light, and a prominent champion of Selûne. Though she formally holds her political roles in equal parts with her wife, Aelynthi, most matters of state are managed by Teresa alone.
Teresa began to manifest divine powers at an early age, often aiding in the resolution of a number of problems in and around Eveningstar. In 1374 DR, she left the village with the stated purpose of learning the reason and source of her powers. From 1374-1378, she slowly built a reputation on healing and scholarship while on the road, particularly in Silverymoon, where she is credited with helping avert a number of disasters.
In 1378 DR, Teresa married, and she and her wife moved to the Sword Coast to establish Ruqel, where Selûnite knights gathered to support her. They built the Silver Spires and founded Ruqel there, from which she and her knighthood attempt to influence the region.

Childhood
Teresa is the orphan child of human traffickers in the northwestern parts of Eveningstar, her parents having used the lesser enforcement and the unruly nature of the Helmlands to run their business without being stopped by the law. Both were slain by adventurers in 1365 DR, and Teresa was brought to the Lathanderite temple in Eveningstar and left in the priests' care. As the conditions of a sale, her memory had been magically wiped, and she thus came to the temple not aware of her background or name, and selected "Persephone" as a handle there. In Eveningstar, she began and abandoned a number of studies before discovering a talent for medicine, which she quickly mastered.
Her magical capacity was apparent from an early age, often spontaneously and unpredictably producing orisons related to the situation at hand. Her power wouldn't accelerate in growth until her teenaged years.
Goblin Captivity
In 1368 DR, Teresa and some of the other orphans in Eveningstar were captured by goblinkin from the Helmlands and held as forced labor and hostages for the majority of the year. The children were all ill-suited to the labor, and credited Teresa with their survival of the ordeal afterword. All of the children escaped their captivity the same year, and the Purple Dragons razed the goblins' camp shortly after.
Leaving Eveningstar
In 1374 DR, one of the orphans in Eveningstar was accused of murdering another over a romantic dispute. Teresa worked on the investigation and served as counsel in the trial, which the town allowed as no others would speak for the defendant. After the not-guilty verdict, Teresa withdrew from Eveningstar, and joined a troupe of adventurers briefly.
Early Adventuring
From 1374-5 DR, Teresa traveled with a crew of adventurers, seeking Selûnite relics through the western portions of Faerûn. No records seem to exist of their success or the fate of any found relics. The crew reportedly split up after being trapped in a cursed dollhouse, from which Teresa saved the others, but which left them uninterested in future adventures.
