• Horatio Mercier  + (Horatio is a man devoted to the pursuit of …
  Horatio is a man devoted to the pursuit of knowledge. Devoted to the point that the lad sometimes needs to be physically dragged away from his work for mundane necessities like food or water, and will forget them for days if not checked in on. In saying that though, Horatio is in no way a mild-mannered or meek scholarly type, his opinions are varied and rarely held back in conversation. Unfortunately, he lacks any sort of tact that his opinions might be expressed without insult, and often comes across as insolent at best, or downright belligerent at worse. And his short temper doesn't help much either. Unlike people (except perhaps his family) the plants, herbs and flowers he keeps are treated with kind words and meticulous care, and he speaks more comfortably in the company of his unique 'pets' then he would with any human acquaintance. Never purposely malicious or intentionally rude, the lad's heart is in the right place; it's just that it cannot get a word in edgewise with that overbearing mind of his. Horatio does indulge in some frivolity outside of his experiments. He regularly enjoys a drink or two, and has a particularly rich palate when it comes to food and there is little he will not try at least once. The lad is adventurous in his own odd way. And while he certainly won't jump at the chance of discovering new lands, because 'living rough' brings him to shudder, his sense of adventure is geared towards the weird, wonderful, and often off-putting leaps of science and medicine.

• Jeremiah Crown  + (Hot-headedly ambitious, Jeremiah is an eas …
  Hot-headedly ambitious, Jeremiah is an easy-to-read man. When he is joyous, he is obviously joyous, bothered, obviously bothered. He defaults to a deferential and polite manner, a mask; he does this particularly with strangers and social betters, yet is easily-riled. To a point, he keeps it under control visually, helpless from letting emotion leak into his features and vocie but not what he says...but once it does it may drive him to further 'politeness,' obseqious 'politeness.' Pushed past that, he may drop all pretense of it, unleashing a wicked and perhaps-cruel wit. He is sharp, clever, and driven.

  Hungry for greatness in the way most young warriors are. He is proud of his family and legacy, and wishes to earn an exalted place in the annals of Grihems Point, but it not entirely chained to tradition. He enjoys being liked and is better at it than many might expect of a Grimhall, but loses no sleep if he must settle for being feared.

• Ian Kennex  + (Ian is at once serene and driven, ruthles …
  Ian is at once serene and driven, ruthlessly efficient to a degree that doesn't always seem human. Duty is what drives him -- duty to his wife, duty to his family and his people, duty to his fealty, duty to the Compact, and duty to the Gods -- and he's tireless in its pursuit. He doesn't feel as deeply most people do, and this, combined with his drive and uncompromising nature, make it hard for him to connect with people or understand the nuances of social interaction. In a lot of ways, his social limitations frustrate him more than his physical ones. It's only when he has a weapon in hand that everything snaps into focus and the world makes sense to him; it's no wonder that he only really inhabits his own skin when he goes to war.

• Icelyn Acheron  + (Icelyn remains deeply conflicted about hav …
  Icelyn remains deeply conflicted about having set aside her Godsworn oaths. Her sense of identity remains deeply rooted in her devotion to the Faith, so much so that she scarcely knows herself without it! Time spent first as a guardian of the roads and later as a Shav'arvani captive has left her with a deficiency where personal pride is concerned. In fact, Icelyn's predisposition towards service and humility is quite unbecoming for her renewed station. Along with an almost willful ignorance of the nuances of political life, this contributes to her transition back into the Peerage being an uncomfortable one. For everyone.

• Ida Ferron  + (Ida is a simple woman, with simple pleasur …
  Ida is a simple woman, with simple pleasures in life. She doesn't have much time for fancy things, and doesn't envy the nobility their political games. She loves the feel of moving her body, using her strength to create arms and armor, or any forged thing. She loves the feel of fighting, of hitting and being hit, though never out of cruelty or anger. She's very aware of herself, and the potential harm she could cause, and it gives her a gentle spirit in a lot of ways. She's rowdy and raucous, but has no taste for using her power to bring others harm, and she certainly does not tolerate those that do. People are too much fun to mistreat, and there's no satisfaction in an unworthy competitor.

• Hazel Helianthus  + (If Dame Hazel Helianthus were to ever take …
  If Dame Hazel Helianthus were to ever take offence at a stone wall, those who know her would agree that it's even odds as to which would win. When she sets her sights on something this Knight generally doesn't stop until she achieves it - but that doesn't mean she cares little for the consequences. Everything she sets her eyes on is weighed, the consequences measured, and it's only after she decides that it's worth it that she brings her will to bear. And yet, despite everything, Hazel hasn't lost her sense of humour.
  ng, Hazel hasn't lost her sense of humour.)
• Edwyn Valardin  + (If Edwyn had a first choice for Great Hous …
  If Edwyn had a first choice for Great Houses to be born into, it would probably have not been Valardin. Though raised to strive for the ideal of the gleaming Valardin knight, it is hardly a role he takes to naturally, even if he may have a small talent with mount, mace and sword. Neither has he excelled in the few other roles he has tried to put his mind to - not faithful enough to sincerely serve the gods, not diligent enough to care for mathematics and stewardship, not charming and cunning enough to be a politician, he doesn't know what he can really be, nor what he wants to be. He is, at least, outgoing enough to enjoy a cup of tea here and there, and schooled well in his courtesies. Neither is he particularly dumb, though he is something of a natural follower, prone more to following than to making his own decisions.

• Dominic Thrax  + (If anyone heard him, his voice, grunt-fill …
  If anyone heard him, his voice, grunt-filled whispers into the fey, careless to the reality of aristocracy, womanly troubles. He spoke only to his dogs, massive monstrosities of battle no weaker and no less ferocious than he; salivating at the thought of thrall-hunt. But silence was his primary form of conversation, eyeing others as if you were tantalizing meat ready for slaughter. Pure, unfettered, hardened silence grasping tenuously at the rage that hides beneath. That is his reputation, one cultivated and displayed to keep others at a distance. The truth is that his time away from civilization changed him. It did not make him soft or slow but patient. He expels an air of tranquility that listens and contradicts his large frame.

  If anything can be said about Josiah, it is that he is very loyal, especially to his family. He may be a bit more on the stoic side and have a bit of a tough exterior but in truth he is quite happy and loving once someone is willing to get past the wall he puts up. He has a weakness for a pretty face and sometimes a drink or two when he is not upon his patrol or doing his research.

• Lottie Parkins  + (If ever there was an example of manic, Lot …
  If ever there was an example of manic, Lottie would be it. Optimistic and exuberant, the little baker is a brilliant mind when it comes to her art and yet... is probably one of the more absent-minded people you may meet. She flits about like a hurricane of joyfulness for the most part, though like any high energy creature there is very little ground between being "on" and "off." She could be dancing about one moment and passed out on a chaise in the corner the next.

  If one believes in aligning a personality to an element, Reve would be flame. There is no shortage of enjoying the finest things in life, wallowing in numerous passionate pursuits, but it all comes at the cost. His temper is a hair-trigger thing, with a scowl turning into a simmering rage that lasts day, or a defeat resulting in melancholy. Perhaps that is why animals do not take kindly to him.

• Poppy Stahlben  + (If one believes the rumours, they will hea …
  If one believes the rumours, they will hear about how Poppy was born on an unfortunately hot summer's day. The midwives who brought Poppy into the world all laugh of how the sun had to have shone so brightly because they have never known such a cheery baby to be born. It was as if the baby was pure sunshine. And that is what Poppy is to her family. A ray of sunshine in a dark and sombre environment. As an always smiling and a friendly face she has been the one to lead the welcoming party to those who come to Bonespire, or to entertain the most serious of shamans. She is naturally cheery and bright, but also a born empathic. She is the shoulder to cry on, the sympathetic ear. Poppy has a knack for charming nearly all who come into contact with her and inspiring awe at the wonders of the Everwinter. She is the one who is filled with optimism, much to her family's annoyance. It's rare for her temper to get the better of her, but when it does, be warned!

  If one were being unkind, you might call him dour. Or brooding even. Brooding is nicer than dour, but they all sort of make sense for the man. He might describe himself as taciturn. He is little reason to speak up and interject when so many people are quite willing to talk a fool of themselves around him. He has earned his prizes and run through the follys of youth enough that he doesn't feel like he should act the pup anymore. The man does better in small groups, perhaps drinking circles or with others closer to his age. The dint of experience weighs heavily upon this Oathlander and it isn't an easy burden to shoulder around the enthusiastic youth.

  If one were looking for a perfect representative of the Sentinel, it coalesces in Avary. Cool and impartial, she rarely lets emotions cloud her judgment or sway her decisions, but she remembers every single word or slight. While not unkind, she is certainly reserved. She is as slow to anger as she is to trust. Only very few have ever seen past her walls of polite ice.

• Jackson Brooks  + (If one were to describe him via alignment, …
  If one were to describe him via alignment, he would be chaotic good. Freewheeling and snarky, Jackson is a decent sort, even if his morality can be quite flexible at times, so more often than not, he tries to do good, but the route to getting there can sometimes be sketchy. If there's a good deal to be made on a shipment, he's happy to agree to it. However, he's also happy to break a few rules so long as it helps getting the job done. Comfortable in his own skin, he's at ease either in a den of thieves or a fancy event for nobility, picking up social cues as easily as a toad picks up warts. Laws are meant to bent, and only broken if nobody is around, but he's just as capable of doing neither so long as it doesn't get in his way. Not one to worry too much, usually thinking that things will 'work out', and when his talking fails, his sword tends to be a good backup. As rough as his life has been, he's never let it keep him down or make him bitter, and would rather have a good time than let things he's done or had to do eat at him. Probably does at times, but never for long.

  If one were to embody calm and charming, it would be Adalmus. An air of relaxation and aloofness exudes from this man, likewise, hes gaze about the area shows a deep intelligence to him, far more keen than most would sense. He generally gazes upon all things with wonder as well as scrutiny. From the enemies he castigates to the friends he vehemently defends. A dramatic and reactive creature, Adalmus is a man of great enjoyment of pleasures to all of the senses. He can be tempestuous and difficult to control, but his loyalty to his family is paramount.

• Harald Grimhall  + (If possible, "grim" might be his middle na …
  If possible, "grim" might be his middle name as well as that of his family. To first impressions he can seem humorless and foreboding, though there is a sardonic humor to the man. His temper is deep and slow to burn, slow to anger, he is old enough not to rail against the inevitable, but not so old yet that he is fully resigned to it. Patient, but often pitiless, he warms to those who show wit and respect.

• Ennettia Igniseri  + (If there is a chair in a room, Ennettia wi …
  If there is a chair in a room, Ennettia will sit. If there is a chaise or bed, she will lounge. If there's a bowl of fresh fruit she'll lament the tragedy that it is unpeeled, and if someone peels the fruit she'll request it also be cut in bite size, aesthetically pleasing portions. Ennettia is, in short, never one to skimp on her own comfort. Words like vain, lazy, narcissistic, self-indulgent and spoiled are scattered before her in a reputation only a Lycene would admire. And yet she's charming despite - or because - of her honesty in regards to her pampered nature. Nor is she materialistic, or greedy: she is generous and affectionate to her friends, loathes only the painfully dull, and has a mind as sharp as her tongue, when she bothers to use it.

• Fortescue Antoni  + (If there was a single word to describe For …
  If there was a single word to describe Fortescue, it would be haughty. For several years he kept people at a distance by being generally aloof, nonchalant, detached, thinking that was how he needed to be to be successful. He was raised to follow the rules and be deferent to nobility, both of which he mostly still does. However, recently he's been allowing himself to express some humor, and even warmth. Still, he's not likely to hold a baby or an animal unless it is literally his job to do so (sometimes it is literally his job to do so). He enjoys digging up information, people watching, and feeling appreciated - he is rather susceptible to flattery.

• Ailys Grayson  + (If there were two words to describe the fo …
  If there were two words to describe the former princess, they are 'earnest' and 'patient'. Mature beyond her years from the start, she demonstrates remarkable temperance and composure at all times, cut only with the sweetness and joyfulness of one truly treasured by her family. Ailys has rarely lost her temper or even frowned, except perhaps while reading a medical text in poor lighting. She possesses an intense calm, and is sincere in all that she does. A pall was cast over the joy and light Ailys once exuded, however, since the Sack of Bastion. But both are still there, with new underpinnings of steeliness. Somehow, observers note, the former princess's temperament is nobler than ever before.

• Genevieve Waldenwyn  + (If there's one thing that can be said abou …
  If there's one thing that can be said about Genevieve's personality, it's that she's a closed book. Quiet and aloof by nature, she prefers not to reveal her feelings unless she has a compelling reason to do so. She's not one to smile, nor to flatter others or joke around lightly, and she's not really concerned if people are put off by that. If she must choose between being liked or being true to herself, she'd almost always pick the latter unless practicality demands otherwise.

• Phoebe Cordelle  + (If two words had to be chosen to describe …
  If two words had to be chosen to describe Phoebe, they might be "effervescently vibrant". Not that Phoebe would ever use just two words. She's bright and vivacious and endlessly chatty. If someone else isn't feeling quite so chatty, she's happy to fill in the gaps for them. She adores meeting and befriending people from all across Arvum and all parts of society, and has a particular penchant for inquiring about others' interests. She has her own spin on the family business, in that she particularly enjoys investing in people and derives considerable joy from simply watching somebody's project come to fruition. Still, it is most certainly still business, and for all her bubbliness and generosity of spirit, there is a shrewd undercurrent to Phoebe when it comes to finance. She's careful and clever with money, always watching for good opportunities.

  Ignacio is a man of composure who takes care in arranging all aspects of his life with control. Some might say he is a bit obsessive in his practice but it does not affect his life or the lives of those around him. He prefers to have things neat and orderly but will not fly off the handle if a book is out of place. He will simply put the book back where it belongs regardless of who moved it. There is no need to become heated over trivial things. His easy going nature is sometimes at odds with the side of him that craves order and symmetry. He is quick to laugh, quick to share a joke or two and doesn't turn down a drink. He will not however drink to excess. Moderation in everything; even moderation.

  Ilandra is very dedicated to the healing and recovery of others as a Mercy of Lagoma. She is very calm and collected. She is also a very emotional being, but manages to keep it close to her heart.

• Ilira Starling  + (Ilira Starling unequivocally loves to be I …
  Ilira Starling unequivocally loves to be Ilira Starling. From the passion and whimsy of her nature to the pure vivacity of her demeanor, she strives to enliven the world around her, for its sake as much as her own. Seamless in her dynamism, she might be quirky and fanciful in one breath and devastatingly sensual in the next or the same. She exults in beauty and luxury of every form, be it the decadence of riches and rarities, or the wonder of artistry, or the euphoria of intimacy--or the act of pampering her hair! Too empathetic and genuine for any true self-absorption, her detriments arise more from insecurity, in herself and in others. There is peril in the sincerity with which she engages people, and she tends to trust too quickly, fantasize too deeply, and idolize too highly, leading her to mini heartbreaks when someone disappoints expectations or shatters illusions. This, at its most adverse, transforms her desperation to see the best into a propensity to see the worst. She can be excessively sensitive, so the simplest misunderstandings or disagreements are liable to throw her off. But never for long. Resilient to the point of defiance, Ilira no longer worries about life breaking her down from the outside; she has been dealt a tragic hand or two and will cheerfully throw her middle finger at anyone here to challenge who she is. Self-confidence is both a strength and a weakness, for outward struggles are easier to defeat than inner fears. Though hers are numerous, she faces each day with her heart in her smile and her soul in her eyes, unconquerable in vulnerability.

• Ilira Starlys  + (Ilira is inclined to skew first impression …
  Ilira is inclined to skew first impressions. Despite a common status, she comports with a grace and manner that navigates her through the upper echelons. Diplomacy suits her, though a rich wit and authenticity underlies her veneer of eloquent subtlety. While the company of nobles suits her fine, she enjoys equally the grit and revelry of the lower boroughs, known to linger in taverns and wax philosophical until closing time. She is the watchful type at bars, but when a mood strikes, she'll be ready with her lute and her voice, a moment in which she truly comes to life. Her esoteric way rarely fades, save in her three favored elements of music, dance, and sea, in which a goofball whimsy and vivacity emerges to full effect.

• Ilira Whisper  + (Ilira lives, laughs, and loves like she's …
  Ilira lives, laughs, and loves like she's challenging the world to make her stop. From performance to romance, she pours her soul into all she does, an alchemy of passion and sensuality. She cherishes and radiates her happiness, joyful just to be alive and breathing. Because under all that joie de vivre lingers inklings of pain and fear, the remnants of a time when her heart wasn't so light. Lust for life is her own form of defiance. She will sing, she will dance, she will twine bodies and hearts, and damned if she'll be done before she's dead. But frivolity has never been completely her way. Steel lies at the core of all that fire and sunshine, and she puts herself as purposefully to revelry as she does to duty. Those who come between she and a goal learn her fury, and those who threaten the ones she cares for discover just how hot that fury burns. Friends and family are the most precious. Leave them be, and she remains as vivacious and whimsical a wildling as ever.

  Ilsa is, in a word. Mercurial. Her laughter comes as quickly and as easily as her temper, moments of sudden inspiration as likely to take her has moments of reflection. Too well does she know that kindness must often go hand in hand with cruelty. And yet, for all that she has seen, the world in her eyes is ever new, ever surprising. A thing to be seen, and felt, and tasted. Experienced in all of its manifestations. Taking the bitter and the sweet.

• Ilvin Steadworth  + (Ilvin putters, twinkles, and flits through …
  Ilvin putters, twinkles, and flits through life, darting from one task that needs doing to the next with an unfailing warmth and patience. He loves stories and songs. He has a certain reserve about his personal life, a certain reserve about his privacy, but the twinkle of humor will wink out from the depths of that reserve to gleam at people from within. He has a head for figures and tends towards simple, rational, logical solutions, to problems -- but with a measure drawn from his apparently endless and deep wellspring of compassion from inside him. What was insecurity in his youth has become in maturity a wry self-awareness. In quiet moments, he can be a little sad, a little pensive: actually the best word for it is wistful. The hand of his inner kindness is not always so warmly turned to himself as it is to others. It's hard to imagine this nice little man with the iron dignity of the Faith behind him, yet the power of his grave disappointment -- when it is leveled upon another soul -- is so rare and heavy as to be heartbreaking.

  Imagine a dark, cold room full of candles and old, decaying tomes and this princess would be right at home. She is deeply curious, fascinated by mysteries, observant, and incredibly bright. Saoirse is a good listener and confidences seem to stay with her. She is good at getting what she wants, though that has admittedly been very easy for the last seventeen years, but her general demeanor is most kindly described as "cool". She has a chilly personality, especially at first, though that is not to say she is not kind. Her benevolence is simply understated, or even perhaps unseen. Without fail, Saoirse is respectful and kind to servants, especially when they provide a service she knows she herself could not do. She is also bitingly, achingly funny - even if it takes a second to realize it.

  Imane is happiest when she is creating. When she has a needle gripped in her fingers and she's slowly mending, or creating a garment, there might be a smile on her face without her even realizing it. When she's at odds with herself with nothing to do, that's when her temper might appear. A generally gregarious creature, she is always out to make friends or even attempt to enchant a customer.

  Imbued with youth and vigor, clearly a woman with a passion for her work. Can be stand-offish and brooding when caught outside her comfort zone, which is a nebulous thing at best. Doting to the ones she cares for, snappish and dismissive towards those she sees little worth in. Enjoys flaunting any and all knowledge of history she has when someone asks. Plainly eager to visit old places and test herself in them.

  Imi's personality is best described as quick, or perhaps mercurial. She's fond of smiling, quick to laugh, and quick to enjoy a good jest - even if it's played on her. But she's equally as quick to action if something needs to be done; quick to anger if someone has provoked such; quick to the defense of the weak; and quick to holy wrath when she sees an injustice performed.

  Impatient, impulsive and with a mind able to find any situation funny in some way, Narciso is a wildly unpredictable character. He does as he wills, and will often ignore social and courtly norms. Not because he's not aware of their existence, but rather because most of the time, it's far more amusing to see the look on people's faces when someone doesn't follow their little dance. Then again, sometimes it's just as amusing to watch them when he actually does. At turns charming, other times biting, Narciso can also prove to be surprisingly insightful and observant, to the great misfortune of those who attracted the ire of the Inquisition. To dismiss the madman dancing on the line of jest and insult with so much flair is a thing done at one's own risk.

  In Bernardino Corsetina's short life, he's become convinced that life is more than a bit crazy and the more he learns, the more he realized he knew nothing at all before. Whenever he finds it daunting to determine what is right, he relies on guiding principles to help navigate treacherous waters: a protective love of family, and to be the best he can possibly be. Easy enough on its own, but truthfully the Corsetinas are not always easy to love, and very not easy to protect. Deep down he knows that some might find his family creepy and full of Lycene with less than stellar reputations, much of it earned, and some of them can lack even the most basic empathy, but that's just a hero's challenge to make it work, right? Personable, charismatic, and genuinely warm and kind-hearted, Dino stands out among his Corsetina kin, and even Lycenes in general. But he'll make it work. Dino believes in looking at the positive, and trusting life can better. Some might call him foolish, but it doesn't get under Bernardino Corsetina's skin; afterall, every family needs a dreamer, right?

  In a family of adventurers, it's not that Calarian doesn't fit, it's just that his particular excitement draws him in a slightly different direction than exploring ruins or swashbuckling through the forest: Calarian explores people. In familiar company, he is prone to a certain dry wit and humor, but he has a knack for finding a comfortable slot to fill with all variety of people, which made his calling to diplomacy clear from a young age. He does not yearn to dirty himself in outdoor exploration, but he's not bothered; above all, Calarian adapts to what the situation requires of him. He absorbs the cultures of others readily, finding fascination with all the differences and similarities, which lets him find ready common ground. He is patient, perceptive, and difficult to offend, despite his precise, impeccable etiquette; he may make high demands of the behavior of those in his house, but it is because he understands the intricacies and importance of the dance of manners. His loyalty to his house and his family is unwavering -- as is his belief in their place as rulers of the Compact.

He is prone to succint, even curt answers, with a cool, regal bearing that does not invite easy familiarity and provides little help to House Thrax's dubious reputation. The rare times the wizened old man seems amiable, even friendly, it meets limited success- most assume (correctly, more often than not), that it is not for a reason they'll enjoy.

  In a word, Edith is jaded. She's seen a lot in her life, and while some of it is wonderous and fulfilling, so very much more of it is tragic and heartbreaking. She's tired, but she's determined to keep going and do what she can to help. Tired and tireless, somehow. Enduring as the ancient trees of the Grey Forest, willing to shelter and protect those in need.

  In a word, Warrick is fatalistic. It's not that he believes in fate, so much as he believes whatever is going to happen will happen, no matter what. Paired with an unlucky streak longer than most baronies, this has left him remarkably unambitious and practically unquestioning. He doesn't believe everything he's told, he just doesn't see the point in trying to force answers out of people. No matter what happens, he accepts his lot in life and moves along. If something good happens? That's great! He'll smile, accept it, and move along.

  In a word, Zyn is sanguine. She is boisterous, bubbly, chatty and openly emotional. She's always out on an adventure, playfully seeking something fun worth doing, leading to wild nights and late mornings. Zyn can be a little flighty, however, should something new and shiny catch her eyes. Her emotions run in extremes, often swinging from 'I hate you!' to 'You're the best person ever!' in the manner of seconds, regardless of drama or damage caused by it. She's enthusiastic, with high self-esteem and very easy-going. She's also a lost cause when it comes to things like organization and planning. Why plan the future, when you can experience the now? She's also very tactile. Just be warned: there may be hugging involved.

  In a word, severity. This is very little give in this Oathlands Knight. As rigid in posture as he is in adherence to the principles of Chivalry and Honor. He is the epitome of a Knight of the West, fulfilling the stereotypes in both positive and negative ways. He is polite to all, in a gruff sort of way, formal and exacting in his expectation of the manners of those around him. He will be the first to defend the defenseless (should they be on the right side of the law) and the last to leave the field of battle, exacting the last drop of payment from the enemy and defending the rest of his brethren. He is a hard man, but his loyalty is stronger than steel and like honor, never bends.

  In a word: unpredictable. Skald is much like a big cat - not like a big house cat, but like a panther - prone to prowling, sprawling and draping his lanky form wherever he likes. Unconcerned with either social conventions (or concepts such as personal space or property), he is unhurried and completely unselfconscious, happy to appropriate any space he occupies for exploration or simple lounging. Skald is an amalgam of contradictions; he is old enough to hold true, deep wisdom, and yet fractious enough to act without consulting it. He does have some traits that can be pinned down. He likes a good time, his boredom often turns dangerous, and he is - in general - in favor of freedom. For everyone.

  In a world of extremes, Gwenna prefers to avoid them. Averse to butting heads but not to friendly debate, she approaches life in a slightly wry way, and she has learned to tilt and skew and weave her way around many clashes of strong personalities, declawing nastiness before it gets too sharp. She'd rather a chilled white wine than a whiskey and she'd prefer a book and a hot cocoa to a bar fight. Some roar and swing an axe, or sing out loud with passion and verve; Gwenna would like to crack jokes by the fire while she does a little light tapestry and shares local gossip. Warm, compassionate, pleasant, affectionate, tolerantly appalled by political disaster: she is a quietly clever woman with a warm smile, a muting foil to the brash and the bombastic. Open-hearted and open-minded, she is interested in the world around her, open to the Faith of the Pantheon and to shamanism, to mystery and to legend -- not a staunch believer, but a suspecter, willing to entertain most possibilities.
