Larisa the rat

High agility and the ability to penetrate hard-to-reach places—Larisa regularly makes her way through sewers, narrow passages, and other awkward routes where larger characters cannot navigate. For example, she was able to enter Lord Vlaston's palace through a sewer pipe and find an infernal box there. "Rat Song" is a special technique Larisa uses to distract enemies. For example, she used it to distract guards so an ally could enter the royal garden and find the Chalice of Knowledge of Death. Besides summoning a swarm of rats and the ability to speak (which she gained thanks to the Shield of the Dark Lord), Larisa has other notable abilities and skills: At the elven trial, Larisa donated her blood for the Chalice of Knowledge of Death—the artifact revealed the circumstances of Palias's death, and the Sphincterion was cleared of all charges. In gratitude, the djinn Jiga offered Larisa one wish. She pondered for a long time: she wanted to resurrect Palias, save the Half-Elf from execution, or grant the Raven Baron the ability to fly. After Palias's death, Larisa decided to continue his work: find the Sphincterion, defeat Lord Vlaston, and save Virginwald. She infiltrated a merchant ship, crossed the Crimson Sea, and got a tattoo with the elf's name (although she misspelled it). In Ponia, she found the Sphincterion and, thanks to the Shield of the Dark Lord, gained the ability to speak. In her subsequent adventures, Larisa demonstrated resourcefulness and courage: she bit out the throat of a priest who was plundering a family tomb; distracted guards with a "rat song" so that an ally could find the Cup of Knowledge of Death; and summoned a swarm of rats to deal with the battle concubines guarding a sheep with a bottle of genie hidden inside.

Despite her size, Larisa is capable of engaging in direct combat and effectively eliminating opponents. The most striking example is when she bit out the throat of a priest who was plundering a family tomb.

— In one of the storylines, Larisa drank a potion of giant strength to attack the Sphincterion. This demonstrates her ability to use magical enhancements and is willing to take risks to achieve her goal.

Reconnaissance—she doesn't just rush into battle, but searches for useful items, assesses the situation, and helps plan escapes and operations. For example, she was the one who found a package of paralytic needles in the medical tent and gave the signal to activate the detonator in the armory.

Larisa is an anthropomorphic rat with recognizable features:
Color: gray coat.
Details: She has large, expressive eyes, sharp teeth, and is quite large for a rat.

A twist: After Palias's death, Larisa sets out on a journey. She sneaks onto a merchant ship, where she meets a druid tattoo artist (who can understand animal speech). Rat asks for a friend's name to be tattooed on her right arm—in honor of Palias. The tattoo was painful, but she endured it. With this tattoo, her image is revealed more fully.
