**Character Appearance: Bev Thornsky** Bev Thornsky stands at an unassuming 3 feet tall, showcasing the traditional stature of a halfling. Despite her nearly 100 years, she carries herself with a sprightly confidence that belies her age. Her once golden blonde hair, now touched with soft streaks of silver, is gathered into two braided pigtails that bounce lightly down to her shoulders, giving her an impression of vibrancy like a youthful matron. Dotting her warm, weathered face are the traces of laughter lines around her bright, hazel eyes, which twinkle with both mischief and a maternal warmth. Her cheeks are slightly rounded, and often dusted with flour—a remnant of her baking hobby and a hint of the savory pastries she adores whipping up in her spacious but lonely kitchen. Bev's attire reflects her dual life as a loving mother and a cunning rogue. She wears a tailored, deep burgundy vest that fastens at her waist with silver clasps, adorned with intricate, embroidered floral patterns that speak to her affection for beauty. Beneath, she sports a flowing white blouse with puffed sleeves, the top button oftentimes undone for a casual, approachable look. Her trousers are practical yet surprisingly stylish—dark brown, fitted linen that allows for ease of movement as she darts around town on her clandestine deliveries. A well-worn but chic pair of black leather boots peep out from her hems, scuffed evidence of her adventurous nights and stealthy escapades. On her right wrist, she wears a charm bracelet nearly jingling with small tokens, including a miniature rolling pin, a captured feather from a recent endeavor, and a tiny, engraved heart—reminders of her family and every small heist that brings her a thrill. Nestled into her vest pocket is her lockpicking set, expertly crafted and a holdover from her heists. A small satchel often hangs at her side, with her beloved baker's tools, some treats for her sons, and a few less-than-legal contraband tucked carefully within—safe from prying eyes yet ready for business whenever the moment calls for it. The air around Bev often carries the rich scent of freshly baked goods mixed with a hint of mischief, embodying the duality of a nurturing mother and a shrewd rogue who knows how to attract attention for the right purposes... or slip silently away into the night. She has black hair in a stylish bob ### Outfit for Bev Thornsky, the Halfling Rogue **General Aesthetic**: Bev Thornsky is a mix of homely warmth and cunning trickery, reflecting her dual life as a doting mother and a resourceful rogue. Her attire should be practical yet stylish enough to fit her colorful personality. #### Clothing Components: 1. **Dress**: - An ankle-length, dark green farmer's dress with a full skirt, which allows her to easily move and hide items among its folds. The fabric is durable, made for a lady who’s spent years on the farm, and has pockets secretly stitched into the sides. 2. **Vest**: - A vibrant, embroidered waistcoat in deep red or royal purple, adorned with intricate patterns featuring motifs of wheat or hearth symbols. It fits snugly, enhancing her motherly figure while providing ample room for concealed pouches. The vest has matching red buttons made from polished wood that gleam against the fabric. 3. **Apron**: - A practical, apron-tied waist with pockets that she uses for baking; the pockets now also hide a few smaller, delicate smuggled items – a loaf of bread next to a wrapped piece of contraband. The apron has faded red and white checkered patterns, hinting at her culinary roots. 4. **Accessories**: - A light kerchief tied around her neck, pretty yet practical for wiping her hands or threats (it’s colorful patterned—the hallmark of a sly rogue). - Leather gloves that filter into a set of charms along the wrist, whispering tales of previous heists and escape routes from watchful eyes. 5. **Footwear**: - Sturdy, soft leather boots that reach mid-calf, perfect for padding along cobbled streets, with inner soles that muffle her steps. They are practical for running and durable for farming duties, so one never suspects her. 6. **Hat**: - A charming, wide-brimmed sun hat with decorative ribbons that match the colors of her vest. It not only offers protection from the sun while working outdoors but also gives her the ability to swoop it down and disguise herself when delivering goods. 7. **Jewelry**: - A simple but distinctive brooch shaped like a loaf of bread, a sweet nod to her baking hobby, nestled on her vest. - A few intricate rings, each representing a son’s birth month, evoking her love for her family. They perhaps hold subtle magical properties to assist her thieving endeavors, boosting her luck once a day. #### Overall Vibe: Bev’s attire should evoke a sense of charm, warmth, and mischief, showcasing her roots as a mother and baker while also allowing her the stealth and grace of a rogue. Her outfit represents her internal struggle—somewhat traditional yet outwardly rebellious—celebrating her smuggler lifestyle balanced with nostalgic loyalty to her past as a homely, law-abiding farmer’s wife.

Bright silver hair cascades around her shoulders, complemented by her twinkling green eyes filled with determination and sorrow.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 image depicts a semi-realistic fantasy character performing on a softly lit stage. She’s a tiefling — a humanoid figure with small curved horns, pointed ears, and a slender tail tipped in dark red and black. Her skin is porcelain-pale, and her long silver-white hair flows past her shoulders beneath a black beret. She wears a whimsical mime-inspired outfit: a sleeveless black and deep-red striped dress with suspenders, matching thigh-high stockings, and long gloves in the same pattern. A bright red neck scarf provides contrast, and her makeup exaggerates her expressive features — dark eyeshadow, vertical lines beneath her eyes, and small red lips parted in mid-song or gasp. Around her, faint glowing blue musical notes spiral through the air, suggesting she’s singing or casting a magical performance. The background shows a wooden stage framed by ivory curtains and soft candlelight, giving the entire scene a theatrical, vintage cabaret atmosphere. The overall mood blends elegance, whimsy, and a hint of melancholy — as if this performer’s music carries both laughter and longing.

A bright red neck scarf provides contrast, and her makeup exaggerates her expressive features — dark eyeshadow, vertical lines beneath her eyes, and small red lips parted in mid-song or gasp. Around her, faint glowing blue musical notes spiral through the air, suggesting she’s singing or casting a magical performance. The background shows a wooden stage framed by ivory curtains and soft candlelight, giving the entire scene a theatrical, vintage cabaret atmosphere. The overall mood blends elegance, whimsy, and a hint of melancholy — as if this performer’s music carries both laughter and longing.

She’s a tiefling — a humanoid figure with small curved horns, pointed ears, and a slender tail tipped in dark red and black.
