Description: She is a husky woman, who has the majority of her body covered in plate. She has shaved her head bald. Her brown eyes have a joyful gleam in them most of the time.

Personality: She has a massive crush on the younger sibling of the Detective who has hired her part-time. The war was a terrible time for her, and Matilda does not often speak of it. When she does, she does so with a strained expression and tears in her eyes.

History: She served in the navy to pay for her family's outstanding loans. When Matilda reached her early adolescence her Human mother passed away. Feeling disconnected from the small nearby village afterwards, she decided to travel. Her rounds led her into the Army with a few individuals who would become her life-long companions. She has recently gotten a pet goose that steals things from people.

Description: She is lean but muscular and wears tight fighting clothing, which leaves very little to the imagination. With wild silver hair. Her eyes are green and catlike.

Personality: She hates brigands. She views them as having robbed her home of its proper glory. She cannot deal with unfamiliar people for more than a few minutes at a time and if they persist she will grow angry at them.

History: She was a bastard born out of an affair, and her mother always resented and mistreated her for it out of spite. She was an adventurer many years ago and she formed a blood bond with her Human companion (her 'brother'). She bought a hand crossbow and has really upped her game hunting, due to her understanding of decoy and ambush.

Personality: Trey wants to be seen as a stoic, levelheaded, noble Paladin, so he tries to act the part. He does a good job, for the most part... He does suffer from mild PTSD, and the sight of illithids may trigger it at times.

History: His history is one of pain. He was disowned by both parents and raised among the slaves his parents kept. While he appears to be a normal Human, 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.

Personality: He considers himself a man of culture and sophistication. He likes a good challenge to his wits. He is submissive, is generally bored by everything, but will take part in whatever people ask of him. He is by nature obliging.

History: A studious child he never was much for a social life, not because he was unlikable, but because he did not seek it out. He was taken from his home at a very young age. He remains aloof and afraid to be himself due to all the ideals others have placed upon him.
