NAME: Delemetre (named after grandmother's friend)
RACE: 1/2 Dwarf - 1/2 Elf/Gnome mix (Human by Orean definition)
HOME: Orean - her parents' farm on the edge of the Elven forests to the west and the Dwarven mountains to the north
HEIGHT: 5'3"
HAIR: brown
EYES: brown
FAMILY: father-Terry (Dwarf) mother-Vivia (1/2 Elf-1/2 Gnome)
COMPANIONS: Rennio (Elf) and Peter (Human) - both bounty hunters
MAGIC ABILITY: manipulation of sound
ENEMY: Lord Eliv (Elf)
JOB: Delemetre is the daughter of a farmer but because of her magic ability and political intrigue she finds herself in the Elven capitol of Mabid. About 400 years after the unification of the Elf and Gnome races the Elves find themselves without a Governor. Many are vying for the job, both good and bad. Delemetre is in the middle of it trying to sort out who's best suited to the job. Rennio and Peter are her protection but do not know what she is supposed to accomplish.
CHARACTERISTICS: the best word to describe her is silence. She does not speak unnecessarily. her movements are deliberate and soundless. even Peter (who is exceptional at what he does) has a difficult time detecting her. if Delemetre wishes to remain hidden, NOONE finds her. and she knows how to handle a battle axe
PERSONALITY: quiet and observant Delemetre is a nice farm girl who wants the best for the Elven people. she can be very expressive in her emotions but often isn't. mostly she only shows anger, but she is not often angry. when she IS angry, watch out. it's not pleasant (not necessarily dangerous), especially if she does not like you.

Whew! That's a lot to digest! Of course, it is a Character Map, so lots of info. M
Wow... she sounds nice... but if she knows how to quietly handle a battle ax... I would be afraid to upset her! I hope she never asks me if she looks fat.
It would be hard to like a person who doesn't show emotion, except anger. And if she cares so much, why only anger?
I can tell you've given this a ton of thought, and she sounds like a great character (except the expressing herself thing). I like that she can handle an axe-- that's appealing. Her magic power is cool too. How does it help her hide when she's still (not moving). Couldn't someone find her, and see her, even if she is soundless?
who's looking? if there i no sound to draw your attention do you look behind the door or under the bed or wherever? and she can move from place to place without making a sound. she just has to be sure noone is looking. which is trickier. although she can emphasize the sound of the other person so she can hear where they are and what they are doing. and she can louden other sounds as well.. a scurrying rat for example... to draw attention away from herself.
why anger? that is a VERY hard emotion to disguise. especially for those who rarely feel so. she does not alway hide her emotions. like i said she can be quite expressive. she's just in a business where stoicism is the wiser choice.
