Description: This tall, slender man wears a blue vest and prefers tan and green shirts. His boots appear to have been at one point steel toed but are quite worn down. With a patchy golden beard and wild golden hair. Judging by the bloodshot nature of his eyes and the massive bags underneath them one would imagine he has not slept for days.

Personality: He has a very dry and sarcastic sense of humor. He is not one for noise or eating so much, which is in direct contrast with his big mouthed big gutted partner. His partner is his best friend in the world. The two are very close despite being more or less each other's opposites. He always tries to repair and not replace. It was this mentality that drove him into the Shoemaker business.

Description: This southern woman's face is deformed and paralyzed on one side. As such, she slurs her words together. She is wearing a long, yellow, dusty cloak. Her long brown hair reaches down to her waist. Her voice is smooth and creepy, always level, but somehow just slightly unnerving.

Personality: She is a melancholic, but persistent worker. She resents family life and as such spurns the advances of admirers. Flattery will make her almost putty in your hands.

Personality: She is a sleazy, sleazy gal. She has no qualms about using her powers of suggestion to get people to do what she wants. She is used to getting what she wants. In part because she is a meticulous planner.

History: Trained by her mother for as long as she can remember she had it drilled in her head that it was her duty to serve her country. Her mother had invested heavily in several trade routes and wanted her to inherit them. She knows her nephew is from a royal line that had remained secret for centuries, but promised not to tell anyone. So far, no-one knows but her.

Description: Runty and weak-looking, he prefers to wear flannel. He wears his red hair down. His voice is smooth and creepy, always level, but somehow just slightly unnerving.

Personality: He is always cheerful, even with a hangover, and is always willing to go through all sorts of trouble to help his friends. He considers everything a fun event and doesn't hold grudges. He has a small toy that he constantly fidgets with.

History: He was born to loving parents in a slum to the west. While he appears to be a normal Half-Orc, he's... not quite right. Perhaps he's slightly insane, or otherwise so mentally alien to the rest of the world that he plain doesn't fit in. Since then, he has sought to make the best of life.

Description: A plain young-adult woman, she dresses in brown turtlenecks beneath a pastel coat with blue slacks. With wild silver hair. Her eyes are a pleasant hazel.

Personality: She misses her glory days as an athlete. She does not mind her job, but it is boring in comparison. 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, Giselle is combative with any and all who dare try her patience in the slightest.

History: She was born in the east, but her parents moved at a very young age to the south. She took every job she could get her hands on, but the opportunities for Humans in the east were limited.
