Astrid Smith stands at an average height of 5'7", but her presence feels larger than life, an aura of determination and ambition surrounding her. Her pale skin has a slight luminescence, giving her an ethereal quality, often making her the center of attention in crowded rooms. Her most striking feature is her long, teal hair that cascades down her back like rolling ocean waves, reflecting her vibrant personality and hinting at her feywild experience. Often perfectly groomed, her hair might occasionally be adorned with delicate trinkets or magical charms she’s constructed during her extra-curricular activities, showcasing her knack for combining style with her magical interests. Her almond-shaped eyes, a vivid shade of emerald, twinkle with intelligence and ambition, betraying her perfectionist tendencies. Astrid dresses in elegant yet practical robes of deep midnight blues and purples that accentuate her features and hint at her magical abilities, embroidered with finely detailed patterns of stars and celestial bodies. Her robes are well-tailored, always immaculate, and flared out elegantly to allow for freedom of movement, no matter the task at hand—mundane or extraordinary. Around her waist hangs a utility belt filled with various magical baubles and tools of her trade, and she often carries her awakened spellbook nestled under her arm or floating beside her thanks to a faint magical glow. The approachable grimoire sports a sleek enchantment ever-so-slightly reflecting the sheen of duchess wiggles, her flying feline companion. Duchess wiggles flits about, a small ball of fluff and mischief, showcasing a soft fur coat that blends shades of white and silver, her large aquamarine eyes sparkling with a knowing look. As an ambitious middle child with a drive for excellence, Astrid often wears a serious expression, a focused gleam in her eyes that indicates she’s ready to conquer any challenge thrown her way—particularly in defense of her advocacy for the Imperial Council of Academics or when discussing grand political aims. While she frequently pushes herself, the corners of her lips sometimes betray a hint of warmth, especially when she discusses her adored familiar or her latest personal projects tailored toward her dream of shaping a better future for adventurers and scholars alike. Astrid’s presence suggests not just magical prowess but a mind constantly at work, constantly carving her path forward in a world she strives to improve and elevate — driven by both her feywild legacy and the dream of achieving something far beyond what anyone in her background has obtained before.

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

In a studio ghibli art style Glimmerdust Brightspark stands at a diminutive height typical of deep gnomes, with an energetic and determined presence. Her dark purple skin is smooth and subtly glossy, reminiscent of fresh mulberries, reflecting her passion for machinery and her knack for tinkering. Her wild pink hair, vibrant as cotton candy, is styled into two playful pigtails that bounce with her every movement. Each pigtail is tied with bright metallic ribbons that shimmer in the light, hinting at her playful yet mechanical genius. Glimmerdust’s expressive eyes are a lively shade of turquoise, glowing with curiosity and the spark of creativity. They are framed by delicately arched brows and framed by sturdy round goggles perched on her forehead, ready to be pulled down when she gets into the thick of her tinkering. She wears a snug, crop top armored vest crafted from a patchwork of leather and colorful alloy plates that offer both protection and freedom of movement. Each piece held together with intricate mechanical fastenings that she has surely tinkered with herself. The rugged yet stylish design showcases her short and slender arms, brimming with latent power, ready to get her hands dirty in her inventions. On her back, she carries a large, sturdy shield marked with her personal symbol—a small gear surrounded by shimmering stars—indicating her roots with the Ironhand clan of artificers. The shield is not just a defense but also a multifunctional marvel, serving as a grounded platform for her assembling and tinkering when she sets up her workshop on the go. In one hand, she grips a large, intricately designed wrench, almost as big as she is, featuring ornate carvings and mechanisms that represent her ambition to improve her artificer skills. It's not just a tool; it's a masterpiece that symbolizes her perseverance and rising talent. Her overall look mixes a bit of roadside chaos with a genuine passion for innovation, and she embodies resilience infused with creativity as she strives to perfect her craft in the bustling environment of Baldur's Gate. Subtle hints of oil and metalwork enhance her fingertips and cheeks, solid reminders of her relentless tinkering and unyielding spirit—well on her way from being underestimated to carving her own place in the world of artificers.

The color palette predominantly features shades of dark purple, pink, and metallic accents that contrast beautifully against her skin tone and hair. Head & Hair: - Hair: Glimmerdust sports bouncy, pigtailed pink hair tied with dark purple ribbons that match her skin. The pigtails give her a playful, energetic look but also allow her to have an unobstructed view when working on her inventions. - Goggles: Over her forehead, she has a pair of oversized, brass and glass goggles that not only protect her eyes while tinkering but also project a holographic interface for her technical designs. Upper Body: - Armor: She wears a stylish crop top armor made of reinforced leather—dyed in a deep, rich purple. The armor has intricate engravings resembling the gears and cogs of machinery and bears the emblem of her idols, the Ironhand Clan (modestly sized to avoid looking arrogant). - Overvest: Over the crop top, Glimmerdust wears a lightweight tool vest made of sturdy material, with various pockets and loops — a nod to her tinkering trade. The vest is a blend of pink and purple to complement her overall appearance, with metallic sashes where she can store smaller tools. Accessories: - Belts and Pouches: She has a crossbody belt pouch with several slots for different-sized tools, scraps, and potions, all securely fastened. Larger pouches hang from her waist with spell components and wiring for spontaneous tinkering. - Wristbands: She wears a pair of studded leather wristbands outfitted with small rotating gears, possibly a mark of her creative work, and aesthetic enhancements. Lower Body: - Pants: Glimmerdust’s pants are made from rugged, dark denim and cinch at the ankles, allowing ease of movement while protecting her from potential hazards in a workshop or battlefield. - Knee Pads: She has protective, metal knee pads etched with intricate designs and plans for her machinery that often double as a component storage spot for crucial pieces. Footwear: - Boots: Sturdy knee-high boots made of a pink leather composite with metal toes, perfect for someone who loves to build and fight. They're equipped with grips on the soles to help her navigate the rocky terrain of Baldur's Gate. Weapons & Shield: - Large Shield: Glimmerdust carries a round, tower shield that’s decorated with the symbol of her family—a stylized hammer—and paint splatters create a chaotic flair, emphasizing her passion for both artistry and engineering. - Wrench: Strapped to her back, the oversized mechanic's wrench also functions as a weapon when needed, styled in pulsing greens and pinks, representing her ingenuity and playful spirit. Companion: - Dolores, the Steel Defender: Besides her gadgetry, Glimmerdust’s steadfast companion, Dolores, has a warm, metallic frame with a glossy finish resembling a polished pink chrome. Dolores may also carry small gadgets or additional tools when Glimmerdust is in the thick of her tinkering. Glimmerdust Brightspark's outfit combines practicality with personality, reflecting her journey of growth and creativity against the backdrop of her life as an accomplished tinkerer in Baldur's Gate.

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!

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. 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.

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.
