Description: A plain young-adult woman, she dresses well, wearing tan shirts, loose pants, and blazers most of the time. Her hair is blonde and curly. She wears crescent spectacles with a black brim.

Personality: She loves telling others what to do and how they should feel about things. Her respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to her, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, she tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in her reactions to snap at those who irritate her, Maiathah is combative with any and all who dare try her patience in the slightest.

History: She was always a brilliant, if unscrupulous mind. While she appears to be a normal Elf, she's... not quite right. Perhaps she's slightly insane, or otherwise so mentally alien to the rest of the world that she plain doesn't fit in. She is untrained/undisciplined, which makes her dangerous.

Motivation: To share knowledge with the world; and a rival would like her out of the picture

Ideals: Opinionated, Justice, Logical. Flaws: Insane. Bonds: Attractive. Occupation: Mortician

Voice: Loud with bravado

Possessions: 150 gp.

Description: She wears a shirt and pants that are bristling with pockets overflowing with maps, compasses, and other navigational equipment. Her skin is fair and her fingers are delicate and long. She keeps her chestnut hair in a pixie cut. Her face is full, her cheeks are rosy, and she always seems to sport a perfect smile and a twinkle in her green eyes.

Personality: Aggressive, abrasive, and angry, Meena embodies much of what other species detest in the Gnomes. She is a logical person and will generally grow upset if things defy logic and science.

History: She was born on a small isolated farm. Meena liked to wander the woods near her home when she was young, something she still likes to do at least once a week. She never liked modest clothing or shoes, so she would wander the woods barefoot and lightly dressed, and she developed a good sense of balance and learned how to climb and swim well. She has been a successful dealer in antiques buying low and selling high.

Personality: She does not believe in betrayal or weakness as things to be tolerated. Maegan is a bit of a follower. Usually she is manipulated by her sisters into helping them out, but recently she has become more of a free agent.

History: She was born with several neurological imbalances, which makes sleep difficult for her. It may also be what makes her so good at details.
