A Touch of Character #5
Today, we come across a simple gnomish commoner, a young woman simply making ends meet with her modest abilities.
Name: Lorilla Folkor
Occupation: Entertainer
Bio: Lorilla is a young forest gnome living in a relatively small town, where she juggles and sings in taverns, in the market, and anywhere else she can earn some coin. Her clothes are somewhat dirty and tattered, but her face is beaming and bright, as are her eyes. She is always smiling, and even when she isn't performing, she can be heard humming or singing softly.
Lorilla is inherently curious, a trait which sometimes gets her into the middle of mischief. She has a bad habit of eavesdropping and will use her small size and unremarkable appearance to remain unnoticed while listening in.
Her curiosity once led her into the wrong place at the wrong time. Lorilla found herself listening to a couple of pickpockets talking about their latest haul. She stumbled and gave away her location. When one of the thieves - a boy younger than her - ran at her, she pulled her dagger, meaning only to defend herself, but he was faster than she thought and as she raised her dagger, she stabbed him in the gut. Scared, she fled, and later overheard the watch talking about a dead street kid. She's lived with the guilt ever since, but has never told anyone what happened.
Lorilla could serve as a good contact in town, somebody who knows the streets, entertains in various circles, and can go unnoticed by most. If payment is involved, and as long as it doesn't involve harming anyone, she's happy to help.
