Description: This northern woman's face is deformed and paralyzed on one side. As such, she slurs her words together. She wears tight fighting clothing, which leaves very little to the imagination. She has a long golden ponytail with little hanging trinkets. She wears an eyepatch.

Personality: She has two modes she varies between. On the job she is cold, steely and emotionless. Off the job she is a party animal. Her respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to her, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, she tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in her reactions to snap at those who irritate her, Tippletoe is combative with any and all who dare try her patience in the slightest.

History: Tippletoe lived on a farm with her mother, near the main road leading to a nearby town. Being born in the north, 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 north 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 south. She has since lost track of the people in her past.

Motivation: She'd like to take her coworkers down a peg.
