Description: A hulking woman with gigantic muscles, she is typically in her Interpreter uniform. Her hair is brown and very short. Her brown eyes lackadaisically let the world flow into them.

Personality: She cares much about the opinion of others, both in good and in bad: when keeping in line with her opinion, she thinks highly of the other person, but when opinions clash, she can get violently argumentative. She tends to be very friendly, and is drawn to music, the smells of food and wine, and out-door festivals.

History: Her parents moved while she was still in utero so she is the first generation to be born here. She sought a place where she would be rewarded solely on the merits of her skills. This search led her directly into Interpreter work with an outfit from a few towns over. Interpreter work suited her well, and with each successful project, she earned more gold and more respect from her peers. She spent several years traveling with her friend, before both settled down to enjoy the fruits of their adventures.

Motivation: Meet up once more with her childhood friend; and to be a farmer again

Personality: She is erratic and paranoid. She believes goblins are coming to abduct people. She cannot resist a sob story and will often dote over anyone who has one.

History: Her psionic talent manifested at a young age. Aiming to upstage a rival house, her parents had her trained. She moved from fad to fad and when she turned 15 she discovered poetry. She now spends her time doing works of charity.

History: He was born to a wealthy landowner in a frontier town, living a normal and happy childhood. He was part of a huge silver rush, which was taken over by a mining company. The company confiscated a lot of silver, but the shipment was lost. He now mingles about in high society.
