Description: She is of a modest build and height, but she carries herself more imposing than she is. She prefers to wear the grand gowns of high society. She carries her fan with her everywhere and carries herself as the perfect lady. Her silver crest has been sun bleached extensively. She is baby faced.

Personality: She is business-like. She takes instructions and follows them to the letter. The war was a terrible time for her, and Antrara does not often speak of it. When she does, she does so with a strained expression and tears in her eyes.

History: Antrara was born the youngest of three triplets. Being born in the south, she completed her medical training abroad so as to avoid the war. She returned after the war having achieved medical proficiency. She was a general practitioner in the south for years, until she, through no fault of her own, lost a patient who had a very powerful family. Rather than risk reprisal she made her way west.

Description: This slender man stands about 4'1". He wears rags and sports a simple walking cane. He has no hair. His voice is smooth and creepy, always level, but somehow just slightly unnerving.

Personality: He cares much about the opinion of others, both in good and in bad: when keeping in line with his opinion, he thinks highly of the other person, but when opinions clash, he can get violently argumentative. His respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to him, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, he tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in his reactions to snap at those who irritate him, Gimgen is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.

History: Born to a Interpreter, his mother struggled to pay the bills. A few years later when the north was not economically sound they moved to his current location. He was recently attacked on the road and savagely beaten by bandits.

She found her father impaled in their home, and her mother beheaded. She saw the woman who walked out, and charged her in a blind rage.
