Description: A hulking woman with gigantic muscles, she is wearing dark clothing and a heavy breastplate, keeping many of her physical features obscured. She has slicked back auburn hair. Her eyes are a pleasant brown.

History: Born in the east to a Bookbinder, Rose learned a great deal about her father's area of expertise.

Description: She wears a large hat to cast shadows over her face and wears ponchos to better hide her body. Her tied-back hair is silver. Her amber eyes dart from person to person to random spaces in the air.

Personality: Her voice, at times compared to that of a Nymph, lambasts those who consider themselves "civilized" with snide, belittling remarks; the subtle growl she speaks with growing louder in doing so, one can find it most pronounced, despite the otherwise natural purity of her tone. She invites people to come help in her community garden.

History: She served in the navy to pay for her family's outstanding loans. She sought a place where she would be rewarded solely on the merits of her skills.
