Description: This malnourished woman wears clothing that is held on in multiple layers but all of it is in poor condition. Her hair is chestnut and very short. Her eyes are blue and catlike.

Personality: She is a woman who does what she needs to. She will acquiesce to black mail and extortion to avoid trouble. She is very protective of her business, her home, and her spouse. She is willing to work with less than legal methods but maintains the front of legitimacy.

History: Born to a Engraver, her father struggled to pay the bills. While she appears to be a normal Half-Elf, she's... not quite right.

Her voice is smooth and creepy, always level, but somehow just slightly unnerving.

Personality: She takes her job very seriously, in part because she fears she cannot get a new one. 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: She served in the navy to pay for her family's outstanding loans. In her formative years she discovered how persuasive she was. She began using that to her advantage selling useless wares at inflated prices. She is searching for what she claims is her rightful reward.
