Description: 4'11" and muscular, this eastern woman dresses in collared shirts and wears a proper scarf over her head. She has wavy golden hair. Her eyes are gray and beady.

Personality: She has schizophrenia that causes her to hear things that aren't there and will sometimes respond to them. She has no love for corruption and racketeering and views those as crimes of the highest magnitude.

History: She was born to a pair of big game hunters, but was frequently ill as a child. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the plains to a summer home near a large cave. She would wander through that large cave and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and she was stranded inside. Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the plains due to the painful memories there. Agnes took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up bastard sword and armor she uses now. She hopes to save up enough money to one day pay a cleric to cure her.
