Description: This petite short woman is perpetually holding a tea of some kind. She wears a red vest and prefers violet and white shirts. Her boots appear to have been at one point steel toed but are quite worn down, marred by teas. Her long brown hair reaches down to her waist. She has a dull look in her brown eyes.

Personality: She seems absolutely devoid of it. She stares off into space and will respond with overly literal and minimalist answers to questions. She keeps company with all sorts of races to see how they think and challenge minds foreign to her own.

History: She was raised in a mountains tribe. Ostracized due to the psionic powers of her oldest brother, she and her siblings struck out on their own.

She has been working here for the past few years.

Motivation: She seems to be bored by most things.
