A full-body semi-realistic fantasy illustration of Mythanna Junedae, a High Elf Wizard of Abjuration, standing in a grand enchanted library as if preparing for battle. Towering shelves and glowing lanterns line the hall, but tomes and scrolls now float wildly around her in midair.

Mythanna’s stance is strong and commanding: legs planted apart, stockings and shin-high rune-stitched boots clearly visible. She holds her glowing Wand of Magic Missiles raised in one hand, and her other hand traces a circle of luminous abjuration runes in the air. Wards flare around her in golden light, forming protective circles and glowing shields.

Her appearance:
- Face and hair inspired by Barbara Palvin — soft but determined, brunette waves flowing with magical wind.
- White blouse with long sleeves, dramatic black bow tie, snug rune-stitched corset band.
- High-waisted skirt with bold black-and-white polka dots, sleek and fitted, cut mid-thigh.
- Dark stockings stopping just below the hem, leaving a teasing strip of bare thigh visible.
- Shin-high rune-stitched boots.

Signature items:
- **Hat of Wizardry** — tall, tilted, subtly patterned with arcane polka-dots, glowing runes swirling around it.
- **Pearl of Power** — glowing jewel at her throat beneath the bow tie.
- **Wand of Magic Missiles** — held aloft in one hand, glowing brightly as arcane missiles orbit it.

Her expression is no longer coy but fierce, her abjurist power on full display. The mood is dramatic fantasy: playful parody aesthetic still intact, but with genuine magical authority radiating through the glowing wards and floating tomes.

Adored by the elves and revered by the community, she holds a soft yet commanding presence. However, in the wake of Kringle's shocking murder, tension hangs heavy in the air. With the Gingerbread Fortress in a state of unease and smiles transformed into frowns, Christine uses her devotion to light and hope to rally those around her. The warmth she brings as the embodiment of festive spirit has transformed into a burning desire for justice. --- **Appearance:** Christine stands with a slightly towering stature for an elf, draped in a vibrant red robe adorned with white fur trimmings. Bright silver hair cascades around her shoulders, complemented by her twinkling green eyes filled with determination and sorrow. She sports Christmas-themed jewelry, giving off a soft shimmer in the dim candlelight of her workshop.

Sieze investigates and discovers the enemy on Christmas Eve. She is not merely acting with vengeance; each suspect she interviews brings mixed feelings of glee and dread in relation to Jolly Ol’ Saint Nick. Above all, she hopes to preserve the legacy of joy in honoring Santa’s lifelong work. --- **Hook for Players:** As the players come into the North Pole, they find the elves and citizens rallying around Ms. Klaux, urging her to pressure Clay the Chipmunk, an informant who fingers stray tree ornaments—a distinct but known gang of sour holiday sprites. With Christine in league with the party, this business-deciding house throws a twist of joy amidst the investigation! Will they restore hope before the season splinters, or will Christmas hold a dark new tradition? --- Mrs. Claus is ready to leap into action! Her strong ingenuity and fierce passion for justice could lead to a gripping tale that bends the line between Santa’s magic and the harsh realities of their world. Happy gaming! **Character Concept: Christine Klaus - Elven Cleric of the Light** **Background:** Christine Klaus, once a vibrant and joyous soul, served faithfully as the heart of holiday cheer alongside her beloved husband, Kristopher Kringle. Known to the denizens of the North as **The Light of Yuletide**, she brought warmth and hope to all who encountered her. The sudden and brutal murder of her husband, now revealed to have been Kristopher himself, has plunged her into despair. Fueled by a desire for justice, Christine is determined to uncover the truth behind the heinous crime and avenge her beloved’s death. **Race:** Elf (High Elf) **Class:** Cleric (Domain of Light) **Level:** 3 **Appearance:** Christine has long, cascading hair that shimmers like freshly fallen snow, adorned with small, twinkling ornaments that reflect her original festive spirit. Her serene, elven features are now marred by the veil of sorrow, yet her bright blue eyes emanate a fierce determination. She wears elegant robes of white and gold, symbolizing both her clerical authority and her love for her husband, with a silver chain bearing a pendant of the ancient elven sun in the center of her chest. **Personality Traits:** - **Compassionate but Steely:** Despite her grief, Christine is warm-hearted and empathetic, understanding the difficulties of others, yet unwavering when it comes to justice for Kris. - **Tenacious Seeker of Truth:** With a sharp mind honed by years of service in the North Pole, she is determined to uncover the truth and rest in vengeance for Kristopher’s tragic demise. **Ideals:** - **Justice:** There must be accountability for the action taken, and the light will reveal the darkness that cloaked the truth. - **Hope:** Even in darkness, there is always hope, and this light will guide her through the storm of grief. **Bonds:** - **Kris**: A love that persists even in his death; she carries his spirit with her and vows to keep the holiday spirit alive by exposing his murderer. - **NPPD**: She holds a cordial relationship with officers but knows her clerical powers update bent on risking accusations by dealing beyond the jurisdiction. **Flaws:** - **Fragile Dignity:** In her pursuit for justice, Christine struggles to keep her feelings in check and sometimes lashes out in pain or sorrow. - **Avoidance of Cheer:** Conflict arises when she is surrounded by joy and laughter, pushing her deeper into emotional struggle. **Backstory Detail for One-Shot Setup:** Christine Klaus will serve as both a quest giver and a guide for the adventurers as they delve into the mystery surrounding Kringle’s death. Her connections in the North can provide valuable insight into townsfolk rumors, while she uses her clerical abilities to protect and heal the party. She carries a lantern that casts a dim glow to help illumine hidden secrets, always reminding them to look for the light in times of despair. **Motivations for the Party:** As they rally around Christine to comfort a grieving widow, they must navigate through tense relationships with the NPPD, ruffled pixies, disgruntled elves, and a potential sinister cabal that aims to colder, deeper shadows over the North Pole. Christine’s resolve to seek vengeance makes her a driving force for both unity and exploration, ensuring that no stone remains unturned in revealing the perpetrator's identity before Christmas morning. This investigation casts both a somber and festive air, balancing holiday icons with homicide mysteries, allowing participants to exercise puzzle-solving skills while evoking deeper character involvement for Christine Klaus’s gravitas and internal conflict. **Character Appearance: Christine Klaus** ### General Description: Christine Klaus, a graceful elf standing at about 5'6", radiates an aura of serene yet somber determination. Her figure is lithe and elegant, reflecting her noble heritage, but her posture carries the weight of deep grief and anger over her husband's murder. ### Facial Features: Christine has sharp, delicate features typical of her elven ancestry. She possesses piercing blue eyes, reminiscent of a winter sky, yet they hold a profound sadness. Long, silvery-white hair cascades down to her shoulders, often worn loosely tied back with a bright red ribbon—a subtle tribute to the Christmas spirit intertwined with her mourning. Noble and sophisticated, she has a fair complexion with faint sparkles akin to snowflakes dusting across her cheekbones, signifying her connection to light and purity. ### Clothing: A flowing robe of deep crimson adorned with gold accents drapes elegantly over her frame, enhanced further by ethereal, shimmering patterns resembling frosty trails. The fabric looks both warm and light, embroidered subtly with symbols of her faith—radiating suns and intricate snowflakes. A silver belt cinches her waist, holding various small pouches filled with herbs and holy symbols used in her clerical meditations and rituals. ### Accessories: Around her neck, she wears a pendant shaped like a sun partially obscured by a snowflake, a significant premonition of justice through light. Previously, she'd worn this as a sign of affection for her husband, yet it now serves as a reminder of her vow to uncover the truth. Her fingers are adorned with multiple rings, each engraved with different blessings or benevolent wards intended to aid her on her quest for justice. ### Equipment: Christine carries an ornate wooden staff topped with a glowing crystal, reflecting her cleric status and connection to the light, as well as her ongoing grief since Kristopher's death. The staff boasts carvings of elven symbols of guidance and protection, intertwined with vines and small, elfin decorations that unveil a hint of joy from their former Christmas day celebrations. ### Overall Presence: Though a palpable sorrow surrounds her, her presence isn’t wholly marked by despair. Instead, there’s an underlying intensity and fierceness as she vows to bring justice for Kristopher. She moves with purpose, her determination evident as she channels her grief into the light, empowering her spellcasting to pursue those responsible for her husband’s untimely demise. As she walks through the enchanted forests surrounding Santa's work, a subtle glow emanates from her being—symbolizing her commitment to uncovering the truth and restoring hope to a community in mourning. ### Roleplay Cheat Sheet for "Murder at the North Pole" #### Setting Overview - **Location**: North Pole, specifically Santa’s residence at 1 Santa Clause Lane. - **Atmosphere**: Tense, somber, and chaotic.

The shocking crime against her husband ignites a passionate fire in her spirit; she is unwavering in her commitment to unearth the truth, no matter how dark it may be. Her resolve can be intimidating, turning her gentle nature into a force of justice when provoked. 2. **Empathetic Mourner:** Grieving their loss, Christine has a soft and nurturing aura.

She engages everyone through kindness but firmly believes that light can cast out darkness—both literally and metaphorically. The corruption of Santa’s murder brings out her most ferocious lado, giving her purpose and focus. 4. **Cunning and Resilient:** Beneath the gentile elfin charm lies keen intellect and strategic prowess. Christine isn’t afraid to think outside the box—whether scouring for evidence or manipulating potential suspects. She smartly intertwines communal affairs with her efforts, eavesdropping on gossip at holiday events to gain crucial insights. --- **Ideals:** - **Justice Over Grief:** She seeks not only personal justice for her husband but for those who continue the Christmas cheer that Santa represented. Her hope is for the Merry people to unite against anything that threatens the joy of the season. - **Community Solidarity:** Christine deeply believes in communal strength, aspiring to inspire the North Pole denizens to band together in uplifting one another. She sides against anyone thinking of widespread panic, pushing forth a collective resolve even as she grieves. --- **Bonds:** - **Beloved Husband:** The memories of Kristopher perpetrate every action and thought. She carries small tokens that remind her of their love and memories of laughter. These tokens could minorly increase her clerical powers—the absence of her partner magnifies her mission. - **Santa’s Team:** She views the elves, reindeer, and other magical creatures as extended family. Every loss is their loss. She champions her kin, leveraging her cleric’s connections among them to seek marshaled support while promising retribution for Santa’s unjust demise. --- **Flaws:** - **Single-minded Justice:** While her dogged pursuit of truth is noble, it has begun to blind her to surrounding threats. Christine struggles between the hiatus of grace and spirals into vengeful actions at times, potentially alienating those whom she would normally rely on. - **Insecurities of Worth:** Despite being a prominent figure, she often questions whether she truly deserves posthumous respect as Krampus lingers as she faces backlash for being "just Mrs. Claus.” She preys against notion roles that might poorly bind her spirit and ambition. --- **Roleplaying Tips:** - Bring warmth but an underlying edge in scenes, intertwining love with justice as you navigate dialogues. - Frequently express an internally bleeding heart mingling nostalgia with fieriness when recounting memories or responding to insults about her husband. - Strategically engage other party members and NPCs, discerning valuable alliances or testing loyalties based on their knowledge or connection to Santa as the investigation unfolds.

**Character Concept: Santa’s Shadow, Ms. Christine “Mrs. Claus” Klaux** **Level:** 3 **Class:** Cleric (Light Domain) ...

The Firefly Hollow, standing beneath the humid moonlight of Eendood’s swamp city. The air is thick with mist and golden fireflies drifting lazily through the damp night. She has pale, ghost-touched skin with faint silver veins beneath the surface and soft gray-blue eyes glowing faintly in the haze. Her shoulder-length black hair bears a distinct shock of white through the front, catching the light like a spectral mark. Silver goggles rest in her hair like a headband. Her thigh-high dusk-lavender tunic resembles a fitted ruched slip, clinging lightly in the humidity — practical, airy, and faintly iridescent under the moonlight. Over it, she wears her dark dried-blood red corset, now open fully down the front like a vest, its seams split and edges curled with age, revealing the lavender tunic beneath. The look is light and travel-worn, suited to the swamp’s heat and mist. She wears no jacket or leggings, her arms and legs bare for freedom of movement, her pallid Hollow One skin softly luminous in the damp air. Her boots remain worn and mud-stained, practical for the marshy terrain. Around her throat is a simple green ribbon, tied neatly into a small bow at the side. At her right hip rests Étienne, her compact ruby-inlaid hand crossbow with visible short bow arms and a carved wooden frame — clearly recognizable as a crossbow, elegant and well-worn. Her hands are outstretched, and fireflies swirl and hover around her palms, glowing gold and white — her Swarmkeeper magic manifest in the haze. The scene glows with soft silver moonlight filtering through humid air; reeds sway, water ripples faintly, and Olivia stands serene — a revenant soul alive amid the still, breathless swamp.

Bev Thornsky stands at just under 3 feet tall, typical for a halfling, but her presence feels grander. Her short hair, cropped tightly to her head, showcases hints of silver threaded throughout the once pitch-black strands, a testament to her lively spirit despite her years. Her face is a landscape of character—her skin weathered but smooth with laugh lines etched around her bright, green eyes that still spark with mischief. A well-kept garden is reflected in her cheeks, which flutter between hues of sun-kissed brown and a vibrant pink when she stirs with passion or warms with laughter. She wears a selection of increasingly colorful cotton farm dresses that reach her knobby knees, billowing slightly around her thighs, allowing for some movement and ease while tending to crops or sneaking around her farm at night. The patterns of flowers and pastoral scenes pay homage to her cottagecore aesthetic and blend harmoniously with the nature around her. Over her dresses, she has chosen a fitted style vest, adorned with intricate stitching that seems to tell stories of the past—indigo, deep green, and maroon colors reflect the sunlight much like the blooms of her garden. The vest is somewhat fancy, tailored with ornate button closures that are crafted from polished wood, giving her quite the charming rustic vibe, not quite matching the simplicity of her dresses but perfectly reflecting her adventurous spirit. Her hands are surprisingly nimble despite her age, with slightly calloused fingertips hinting at her work as both a rogue and mother, and often adorned with small token charms or trinkets plucked from unsuspecting visitors or lost within her own sprawling garden. Completing her look, a small leather satchel dangles from her side, always at the ready for a stealthy theft or an unexpected adventure on the horizon. Although her boys have long since gone, leaving the farmhouse quiet, Bev’s aura signalizes her lingering vitality and creativity; alongside the stolen mementos, her demeanor is filled with playful defiance and an unwavering love that candidly wraps around the memories of their mother and one daring widow taking fate in her aging hands. Bev Thornsky’s outfit should beautifully blend her cottagecore aesthetic and her rogue nature while highlighting her unique backstory. Here’s a detailed description of her attire: **Dress:** - A deep forest green cotton dress, reaching just below her knees, with delicate floral embroidery along the hem. The sleeves are long and slightly puffed, giving a quaint, yet charming look fitting for her halfling stature. The bodice is fitted, cin joining the waist with a simple laced tie, accentuating her figure. **Vest:** - Over her dress, she wears a dark brown leather vest adorned with tiny engraved silver buckles resembling leaves and vines, reflecting her love for nature and her newfound power. It’s practical, allowing for ease of movement, and has several hidden pockets for her tools of the trade - essential for a rogue. **Apron:** - A light linen apron tied at the waist featuring several pockets arranged thoughtfully to hold herbs, small farming tools, and even perhaps a few shiny trinkets she pilfered for fun. The pockets have a patchwork design that adds a personal touch, showcasing her crafty side. **Footwear:** - Sturdy, lace-up ankle boots made of well-worn brown leather, perfect for traversing both the farm and the dimly lit alleyways of Vasselheim. The boots are practical but stylish, embellished with subtle stitching detailing. **Accessories:** - A wide-brimmed straw hat adorned with a simple lace ribbon that she occasionally uses for disguise or stealth. The hat also helps protect her from the sun while she works on the farm. - On her wrist, she sports a charm bracelet made up of small trinkets that reflect her life: a tiny scythe representing her farming, a locked padlock symbolizing her rogue skills, and various charms that remind her of family and adventures. - Around her neck, she's adorned with a simple copper necklace featuring a pendant of a vine twisting into a heart, symbolizing her love for her late husband and the family they built together. **Overall Look:** Bev Thornsky’s outfit is a blend of rustic charm and clever ingenuity. Her style balances her roles as both a devoted mother and a cunning rogue, featuring details that symbolize her past while embracing her new life. Through practicalities interwoven in the sentimentality of her attire, she maintains a look that is undeniably distinguished, showcasing her resilience, spirit, and drive amidst her loneliness

Happy gaming! **Character Concept: Christine Klaus - Elven Cleric of the Light** **Background:** Christine Klaus, once a vibrant and joyous soul, served faithfully as the heart of holiday cheer alongside her beloved husband, Kristopher Kringle. Known to the denizens of the North as **The Light of Yuletide**, she brought warmth and hope to all who encountered her. The sudden and brutal murder of her husband, now revealed to have been Kristopher himself, has plunged her into despair. Fueled by a desire for justice, Christine is determined to uncover the truth behind the heinous crime and avenge her beloved’s death. **Race:** Elf (High Elf) **Class:** Cleric (Domain of Light) **Level:** 3 **Appearance:** Christine has long, cascading hair that shimmers like freshly fallen snow, adorned with small, twinkling ornaments that reflect her original festive spirit. Her serene, elven features are now marred by the veil of sorrow, yet her bright blue eyes emanate a fierce determination. She wears elegant robes of white and gold, symbolizing both her clerical authority and her love for her husband, with a silver chain bearing a pendant of the ancient elven sun in the center of her chest. **Personality Traits:** - **Compassionate but Steely:** Despite her grief, Christine is warm-hearted and empathetic, understanding the difficulties of others, yet unwavering when it comes to justice for Kris. - **Tenacious Seeker of Truth:** With a sharp mind honed by years of service in the North Pole, she is determined to uncover the truth and rest in vengeance for Kristopher’s tragic demise. **Ideals:** - **Justice:** There must be accountability for the action taken, and the light will reveal the darkness that cloaked the truth. - **Hope:** Even in darkness, there is always hope, and this light will guide her through the storm of grief. **Bonds:** - **Kris**: A love that persists even in his death; she carries his spirit with her and vows to keep the holiday spirit alive by exposing his murderer. - **NPPD**: She holds a cordial relationship with officers but knows her clerical powers update bent on risking accusations by dealing beyond the jurisdiction. **Flaws:** - **Fragile Dignity:** In her pursuit for justice, Christine struggles to keep her feelings in check and sometimes lashes out in pain or sorrow. - **Avoidance of Cheer:** Conflict arises when she is surrounded by joy and laughter, pushing her deeper into emotional struggle. **Backstory Detail for One-Shot Setup:** Christine Klaus will serve as both a quest giver and a guide for the adventurers as they delve into the mystery surrounding Kringle’s death. Her connections in the North can provide valuable insight into townsfolk rumors, while she uses her clerical abilities to protect and heal the party. She carries a lantern that casts a dim glow to help illumine hidden secrets, always reminding them to look for the light in times of despair. **Motivations for the Party:** As they rally around Christine to comfort a grieving widow, they must navigate through tense relationships with the NPPD, ruffled pixies, disgruntled elves, and a potential sinister cabal that aims to colder, deeper shadows over the North Pole. Christine’s resolve to seek vengeance makes her a driving force for both unity and exploration, ensuring that no stone remains unturned in revealing the perpetrator's identity before Christmas morning. This investigation casts both a somber and festive air, balancing holiday icons with homicide mysteries, allowing participants to exercise puzzle-solving skills while evoking deeper character involvement for Christine Klaus’s gravitas and internal conflict. **Character Appearance: Christine Klaus** ### General Description: Christine Klaus, a graceful elf standing at about 5'6", radiates an aura of serene yet somber determination. Her figure is lithe and elegant, reflecting her noble heritage, but her posture carries the weight of deep grief and anger over her husband's murder. ### Facial Features: Christine has sharp, delicate features typical of her elven ancestry. She possesses piercing blue eyes, reminiscent of a winter sky, yet they hold a profound sadness. Long, silvery-white hair cascades down to her shoulders, often worn loosely tied back with a bright red ribbon—a subtle tribute to the Christmas spirit intertwined with her mourning. Noble and sophisticated, she has a fair complexion with faint sparkles akin to snowflakes dusting across her cheekbones, signifying her connection to light and purity. ### Clothing: A flowing robe of deep crimson adorned with gold accents drapes elegantly over her frame, enhanced further by ethereal, shimmering patterns resembling frosty trails. The fabric looks both warm and light, embroidered subtly with symbols of her faith—radiating suns and intricate snowflakes. A silver belt cinches her waist, holding various small pouches filled with herbs and holy symbols used in her clerical meditations and rituals. ### Accessories: Around her neck, she wears a pendant shaped like a sun partially obscured by a snowflake, a significant premonition of justice through light. Previously, she'd worn this as a sign of affection for her husband, yet it now serves as a reminder of her vow to uncover the truth. Her fingers are adorned with multiple rings, each engraved with different blessings or benevolent wards intended to aid her on her quest for justice. ### Equipment: Christine carries an ornate wooden staff topped with a glowing crystal, reflecting her cleric status and connection to the light, as well as her ongoing grief since Kristopher's death. The staff boasts carvings of elven symbols of guidance and protection, intertwined with vines and small, elfin decorations that unveil a hint of joy from their former Christmas day celebrations. ### Overall Presence: Though a palpable sorrow surrounds her, her presence isn’t wholly marked by despair.

The shocking crime against her husband ignites a passionate fire in her spirit; she is unwavering in her commitment to unearth the truth, no matter how dark it may be. Her resolve can be intimidating, turning her gentle nature into a force of justice when provoked. 2. **Empathetic Mourner:** Grieving their loss, Christine has a soft and nurturing aura. She deeply understands the pain of those around her and often converses with the tagged dead. Throughout the investigation, she is attuned to whomever bears sorrow—an intuitive nature that compels her to comfort others, thereby seeking solace herself. 3. **Brightly Balanced:** As a cleric of the Light, Christine possesses an inherent optimism and faith in the goodness of others, though her heartache challenges this perspective.

Every loss is their loss. She champions her kin, leveraging her cleric’s connections among them to seek marshaled support while promising retribution for Santa’s unjust demise. --- **Flaws:** - **Single-minded Justice:** While her dogged pursuit of truth is noble, it has begun to blind her to surrounding threats. Christine struggles between the hiatus of grace and spirals into vengeful actions at times, potentially alienating those whom she would normally rely on. - **Insecurities of Worth:** Despite being a prominent figure, she often questions whether she truly deserves posthumous respect as Krampus lingers as she faces backlash for being "just Mrs. Claus.” She preys against notion roles that might poorly bind her spirit and ambition. --- **Roleplaying Tips:** - Bring warmth but an underlying edge in scenes, intertwining love with justice as you navigate dialogues. - Frequently express an internally bleeding heart mingling nostalgia with fieriness when recounting memories or responding to insults about her husband. - Strategically engage other party members and NPCs, discerning valuable alliances or testing loyalties based on their knowledge or connection to Santa as the investigation unfolds.

In a studio ghibli art style, Bev Thornsky is a lively halfling woman who, despite her 76 years, carries herself with a sprightly charm that belies her age. Standing at just under 4 feet tall, her nimble, sinewy frame hints at years of hard work and shifting clandestine cargo. Her short, stylish black hair is neatly kept, with a few streaks of silver starting to dance through, showcasing the wisdom and experience of a long life. She has enviable fox-like features accented by high cheekbones and bright, twinkling hazel eyes that glimmer with mischief and a hint of defiance, reflecting the vivacity of her youth. Bev favors flowy farm dresses in earth tones—shades of green and brown—that allow her to blend seamlessly into the bucolic countryside, accented by her cherished fancy vest. The vest is a rich, deep burgundy adorned with delicate floral embroidery, a nod to the cottagecore aesthetic she embodies, carrying a tinge of forgotten elegance from her past life with George. Hidden within its pockets are not only farming tools but also the odd small trinket and piece of contraband from her newer, uncertain lifestyle, representing both her profession and her playful streak. Around her neck, she wears a dainty necklace with a small locket containing a faded picture of her late husband, George, keeping his memory close as she tries to navigate life alone. While running her fingers through her hair absent-mindedly, she might reveal the slight callouses on her hands—telltale signs of both years spent working the land and whimsical activities borne of sticky fingers and light-hearted thievery. Her practical work boots are worn but polished, a testament to reliance and resilience, and are always ready for the next delivery or the potential meeting with a secretive client. Occasionally, she notices have an accent of floral perfume that still fitfully clings to her dresses from jovial gatherings or gossip sessions with neighbors, reminding her of the companionship she misses dearly. In summary, Bev Thornsky is an adorable yet cunning figure: a complex mix of warmth, cunning intelligence, nostalgic grief, and surprising daring—a rogue heart nestled within a kind soul, legendary in her cozy little village for both her farm’s bounty and the spirited stories that follow her. Here’s an outfit description for Bev Thornsky that blends her cottagecore farming background with her secretive, rogue lifestyle. Top: Bev wears a classic, sage green, knee-length farm dress made of soft cotton. The dress features puffed sleeves and a fitted bodice, emphasizing her slightly curvy figure. A delicate white lace trim edges the neckline and sleeves, adding a hint of femininity to her rustic look. Vest: Over her dress, Bev sports a rich burgundy velvet vest that is both stylish and functional. The vest is cinched at the waist with a simple leather belt, accentuating her shape yet allowing ease of movement. It features a few concealed pockets perfect for stashing small stolen items, and the front is adorned with antique brass buttons that shine warmly in the sunlight. Accessories: A broad-brimmed straw hat, adorned with whimsical wildflowers and moments of friendly gossip charm hangs from one side, provides her with some shade while out on the farm. Often, she uses it to block the eyes of onlookers when she’s up to something sneaky. Around her neck, she wears a simple silver pendant shaped like a key, symbolizing her hidden ties to the smuggling ring. Bottom: Bev's outfit is completed with high-waisted, knee-length navy blue culottes, which are practical for her farmhouse chores but stylish enough for visiting the market. The bottom movement allows swift escapes, if necessary, while maintaining an eye-catching, put-together look. Footwear: She wears brown leather ankle boots, fitted but worn from everyday use. The boots have adaptable laces that keep them snugly fit, avoiding typical halfling tripping hazards. Perfect for sneaking around and making quick deliveries, these boots are both sturdy and chic. Additional Details: Bev's short black hair frames her face delicately with the occasional twist secured by a decorative pin. She wears minimal but tasteful makeup to bring out her sparkling eyes, perhaps featuring a touch of vibrant red lipstick that reflects both her grit as a mob wife and the nostalgia of planter’s balls. Perhaps she has a woven wicker bag slung over her shoulder, filled with farm-fresh produce alongside carefully hidden goods for her “clients.” This outfit encapsulates Bev's blend of farm life, clandestine activities, and inputs of style and self-expression during a transformative phase of her life. She remains glamorous yet down-to-earth, embodying how past sorrow and secrecy can shape a well-rounded character ready for adventure!

A semi-realistic fantasy portrait of Evangeline Ivey, the Fierna Tiefling Bard of the College of Glamour, captured mid-performance on her candlelit stage. She stands full-body beneath soft golden light, ivory curtains draped behind her, and glowing blue musical notes spiraling through the air as if alive with her magic. Her porcelain-pale skin (#F3EDEB) gleams in the warm light, contrasting against her long silver-white hair (#D6D6DA) cascading around her shoulders. Her amber-gold eyes (#C88C21) are wide with theatrical expression, her mouth open in mid-song or gasp. Dark brown ridged horns (#4A3A2C) curve elegantly from her brow, and her pale devil’s tail curls behind her, tipped red-and-black like an exclamation mark of performance. Outfit — “Infernal Mime” Parody Costume: • Black-and-deep-red striped bodice with suspenders and gold buckles • Short flared skirt trimmed with faint gold edge • Matching striped thigh-high stockings and long fingerless gloves • Red silk neck scarf tied neatly at her throat • Black heeled shoes and beret with her horns peeking through Scene & Lighting: Warm candlelight and soft shadows create a theatrical glow across the stage floor and her form. The air is alive with faint magical motes shaped like music notes, curling around her in shimmering blue light.
