Description: This malnourished woman wears a well pressed and immaculate suit (or dress). She has wavy auburn hair. Her hazel eyes peer out from beneath her broad brown hat.

Personality: She is calm most of the time but flees social interaction. She disdains her fellow westerners, claiming they make her look unintelligent just for using an accent.

History: Her mother raised her in a mountain cabin. She was an adventurer many years ago and she formed a blood bond with her Halfling companion (her 'brother'). When she grew older, she became a bit more civilized, usually hanging around bars and taverns. She began work as a mercenary for hire. She would embark on any mission as long as the price was right.

Motivation: Obtaining odd cultural Halfling artifacts is her passion.

Voice: Indian accent

Possessions: Just what you see.

Description: An older woman who is bundled in multiple layers and is prepared for a desert trek wearing a turban that covers her face most of the time, she is not a threatening figure. With wild silver hair. She is missing an eye and her face is severely sunburned. Her one remaining eye shines brown.

Personality: She fancies herself a trickster and likes to rely on her wits to carry the day. She cares for her older siblings and likes to be recognized by them. 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: Born to a pair of adventurers, Maiathah grew up listening to her mother's many stories. She made a point of taking high paying jobs and getting most of it up front. She now travels the world, in search of power and loot.
