Her face possesses mild wrinkles. Her smile is extraordinarily sincere though she does not smile often.

History: Her parents moved while she was still in utero so she is the first generation to be born here. While she appears to be a normal Gnome, she's... not quite right.

History: Sold as a small child to a slaver, Anverth was an assistant, and all too frequently test subject. He eventually earned his freedom when his former master disappeared. Being born in the south, he completed his medical training abroad so as to avoid the war. He returned after the war having achieved medical proficiency. He was a general practitioner in the south for years, until he, through no fault of his own, lost a patient who had a very powerful family. Rather than risk reprisal he made his way west. When his spouse passed he lost his only source of income but claims to his sons to still be retired.
