Description: This fat northern woman has a bulbous nose and wears a red wide-brimmed hat and red clothes. Her skin is also unnaturally pale. With wild blonde hair. Her eyes are gray.

Description: He dresses in collared shirts and wears a proper scarf over his head. His attire stands in sharp contrast to his warhammer, which is beautifully polished and possesses an ornate carving of a card on it. His auburn hair has been sun bleached extensively. His voice is smooth and creepy, always level, but somehow just slightly unnerving.

Personality: His voice, at times compared to that of a Nymph, lambasts those who consider themselves "civilized" with snide, belittling remarks; the subtle growl he speaks with growing louder in doing so, one can find it most pronounced, despite the otherwise natural purity of his tone. He does not trust anyone and sleeps with one eye open.

History: Born the oldest of a large religious northern family, he was no stranger to responsibility. His parents died when he was young, and he was unceremoniously dumped in the city orphanage.
