Description: This woman is very fat, and prefers to wear blue pants and tee shirts. Her auburn hair has been sun bleached extensively. Her eyes are a pleasant violet.

Personality: She has schizophrenia that causes her to hear things that aren't there and will sometimes respond to them. She is frequently practicing swordplay.

History: Birel was born in the north. At a young age she loved to build and create. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the plains to a summer home near a ruined castle. She would wander through that ruined castle and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and she was stranded inside. Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the plains due to the painful memories there. Birel took refuge in the ruined castle and found the beat up shortspear and armor she uses now. She hopes to save up enough money to one day pay a cleric to cure her.

Motivation: She wants nothing more than to rejoin the army; and she would like to get married and retire

Description: This petite short woman is perpetually holding a beer of some kind. She does not wear sleeves and tends to eschew shirts when she can avoid it, marred by beers. She has styled her silver hair well, parting it to the right. Her green eyes dart around the room hyper actively observing anyone and anything.

Personality: She dislikes all the random violence that takes place in the east. She pushes her goals aggressively. She is also a coward if confronted.

History: Her parents moved while she was still in utero so she is the first generation to be born here. Her parents died when she was young, and she was unceremoniously dumped in the city orphanage. Mara grew up in the orphanage, tormented by the older kids and famished from lack of food. To avoid death by starvation, most orphans take to a life of crime or prostitution (often both), and so did Mara. She would ruin relationships and cause injury. She was reprimanded several times before being given her current form and forced to learn humility.

Motivation: She feels that her past leaves her morally obligated to help.

Personality: He is happy with his job as a Spy. He turns his eye from what people do, preferring to live and let live. He uses his nature as a weapon; he likes to lead opponents to think him in distress.

Description: 3'1" and muscular, this northern woman is dressed in a clean blue cloak covering her clean studded leather. Her black hair is slicked back into a classic pompadour.

Personality: She is curt in most of her responses. She prefers to keep her word usage to a minimum to avoid giving away unnecessary information. Unvera is a bit of a follower. Usually she is manipulated by her brothers into helping them out, but recently she has become more of a free agent.

History: Unvera lived on a farm with her mother, near the main road leading to a nearby town. While she appears to be a normal Gnome, she's... not quite right.
