Description: An older woman who likes to wear red tank tops with blue skirt, she is not a threatening figure. Her hair is short and red. Her eyes are hazel.

Personality: She likes to fabricate stories about her past exploits and how crazy she is, but in actuality she is rather bland.

History: She was born to a pair of big game hunters, but was frequently ill as a child. While she appears to be a normal Halfling, she's... not quite right.
