previously she had resigned from the Hermitcraft SMP, and unlisted all her previous videos, after her longtime friend Iskal85 was fired from it over allegations of sexting his discord mods

Obvious power dynamic issue there, plus he had a partner at the time that he was cheating on by doing so, he probably could have apologized and come back from that, but he decided to be a freak and double down on having not done anything wrong instead and started doing one of the usual chud "I've been cancelled" video tours.

Stress herself didnt do anything wrong, but she supposedly resigned in solidarity with Iskal, also saying he'd done nothing wrong, so people are understandably weary of her also making a comeback with a large platform on YouTube, plus it seems like she's playing on a server with Iskal also on it in the new video.

Basically title, a wizard player in my home game has asked, in lieu of payment for a couple of quests for her, to have the chance to study magic under Vajra Safahr, the current Blackstaff of Waterdeep. Trouble is I only ever introduced her into the campaign with the intention of being a quest giver for a few quests as my players went to Waterdeep to try their hands at the Undermountain. The character spends nearly all of her downtime now studying with the Blackstaff and my trouble is that I don't really know that much about her, other than what's on the Forgotten Realms wiki, so I don't really know how to roleplay her, like demeanor and personality-wise, and also I want her to feel like spending this much down time studying under essentially the highest ranking wizard in one of the largest cities to actually have an affect both narratively and mechanically.

One mechanical idea I had was having her be able to help craft magic items, and teach spells, but I think there should also be benefits for the whole party just by virtue of being close to the Blackstaff

And also, just, please help me roleplay her, I need anything on her more than what's on the wiki,

Appreciate your guys' help!

We started with Dragonheist and I didn't really expect the blackstaff to ever really be anything more than a quest giver, but one of my players is also playing a wizard, and we generally run a lot of downtime in our campaigns, I had dragonheist take place basically in real time, so over the course of about 3 months, and then my players when they surface from the dungeon tend to like to spend a week or so in Waterdeep shopping, carousing, crafting, and maintaining their home base, before going back down again, and my wizard basically spends all her downtime with Vajra.

What i've been doing is letting her act as essentially an arcane study like from the 5.5e bastions, allowing her to use her downtime and gold from the dungeon on researching and crafting certain magic items, but I have a hard time not just glossing over it. I feel bad because with the other players we will go into detail and I'll roleplay all the NPCs they interact with, but I don't know anything about Vajra. I read her page on the Forgotten Realms wiki, but I was wondering if anyone else here maybe

A) has any tips for roleplaying as Vajra, and what she might be like as a person

And B) other benefits, either mechanical or in fiction, a friendship with her might entail, so that I don't feel like I'm punishing my wizard for using all her downtime to roleplay her character.
