Description: Dark and lean, she is a relatively plain woman. She typically wears red cloth garments or leather armor. Her auburn hair is lengthy. She is baby faced.

Personality: She resents people who mock her appearance or her, so she has learned to be the meanest son of a gun. She spends most of her days drinking in the Inn, the rowdiest and most dangerous establishment in town. There she gambles, wrestles and listens to stories told by travelers.

History: Her parents moved while she was still in utero so she is the first generation to be born here. She made a point of taking high paying jobs and getting most of it up front. She has been a successful dealer in antiques buying low and selling high.

Description: She wears a tan collared shirt and green skirt. She accessorizes with a white scarf around the waist and a strap diagonally across her shirt. Her attire stands in sharp contrast to her pickaxe, which is beautifully polished and possesses an ornate carving of a clover on it. Her golden hair is smooth and relatively long. She was beautiful and young once, which still shows through her age, but it is a faded beauty.

Personality: She loves justice and goodness and right action. Anyone who does not fulfill this criteria perfectly will no doubt get a lecture from her. She is the most sanctimonious self-righteous Elf in existence. She disdains her fellow easterners, claiming they make her look unintelligent just for using an accent.

History: Raised by wardens she was only a novice when giants swooped upon their monastery and killed most of the order.
