Esmee Drimplegatto of the Katheer Drimplegattos has of course traveled all over Golarion, spent a significant amount of time in the Tien lands where she learned the worship of Daikitsu. Later she abandoned her travels to settle in Speck and used her savings to buy into a partnership at the inn. She tinkers on the side(really she just casts mending but makes sure to bang things around and only does it in secret so as to make her look like a wiz with a hammer), but will act as the tavern's barmaid. She is well known in town for making goodberries that never have the same flavor (think Potter's every flavor jellybeans), and usually the bar patrons are only interested in trying them when really drunk or as a dare.
Her companion Samson is a small bear, who is very protective of Esmee and while she works at the bar, he rests by the fire place pretending to sleep most of the time but keeps a constant eye on Esmee and makes little growls and glares at patrons who act familiar with her. (Esmee is oblivious to this and is very confused that no one will flirt back with her.)
Every couple of days, Esmee finds new materials to dye her hair new colors and has yet to find the perfect color. This constant hair color change also requires a fairly regular change of outfits so she doesn't clash. (Anyone other than a gnome is generally horrified at the color combinations she puts together.)
With the trade routes to Speck drying up, Esmee and Samson decided to travel again. After a year of wilderness travel they arrive just in time for the Swallowtail Festival.
