Description: She is a paragon of her species. She is larger and stronger than most Halflings. Her skin is dark but she possesses many yellow ritualistic tattoos. She has the majority of her body covered in plate. Her chestnut hair is kept up in a ponytail inside a deerstalker hat. Her voice is smooth and creepy, always level, but somehow just slightly unnerving.

Personality: She cares much about the opinion of others, both in good and in bad: when keeping in line with her opinion, she thinks highly of the other person, but when opinions clash, she can get violently argumentative. She always tries to repair and not replace. It was this mentality that drove her into the Animal Trainer business.

History: She was born to a pair of big game hunters, but was frequently ill as a child. While she appears to be a normal Halfling, she's... not quite right. Perhaps she's slightly insane, or otherwise so mentally alien to the rest of the world that she plain doesn't fit in. She found several beat up suits of armor and, cannibalizing spare parts, she put together a working one.

Motivation: She seems to be bored by most things.
