Description: This younger middle-aged woman wears white robes with leather pauldrons. Though occasionally she wears more armor.

Her eyes are gray and she is always smoking a pipe.

History: Marigold was born with her father's beautiful face. In her 12th year, while out on a day-trip, she returned to find her hometown burning and destroyed.

Though less modest and more hasty in his reactions to snap at those who irritate him, Adran is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.
