Liunona Lucille Watchriff
female human investigator (empiricist) 1 CG
hgt: 5’5 wgt: 100 lbs
eyes: grey
hair: black
age: 21
Appearance:
Some say there's elf-blood in her family; Liu has that kind of exotic cast, though her diminutive stature belies the supposition. Her grey eyes are forever alight with curiosity, and her fingers (and sometimes, when she's inattentive, her face) are often smudged with ink or charcoal from the note- and sketchbook she carries with her everywhere.
Prepared to deal with trouble at the slave pens, she wears a chain shirt and two bandoliers packed with every conceivable remedy for stupidity, as she likes to think of it.
Personality:
Considering herself a polymath despite her limited life experience, Liu is perhaps just a bit arrogant. Her keen intellect has made it easy for her to coast through life so far, and it's true that she can make leaps of deduction that border on genius, but when people in Mulberry End describe her, it's usually as "nosy" or, in less friendly cases, "uppity." Liu doesn't let this bother her; the truly exceptional has always offended the mundane, in her opinion.
Background:
Liu was packed off to a boarding school nearby by her exasperated parents when she was fairly young, saving the house from being burned down by her "really quite simple and perfectly safe" chemistry experiments. Liu didn't mind - she only wished it had been a better boarding school, one of the prestigious ones in the bigger cities. Alas, her parents, while well enough off as small-time merchants go, couldn't afford such a thing, and Liu decided that suffering so built her character.
When she returned home, her parents seemed a bit distant. Liu put this down to growing apart after so many years, but in truth, they were preoccupied with their own lives, having been inducted into a small cult [think Scientology... or maybe something more connected with the over-plot?]. As part of their promised improved wealth with this cult, they had taken on a new, more lucrative business - slavery.
Appalled, Liu had a terrible row with them, and ended up heading to the slave pens to see who she could free, fuming the whole while. A cult! How could they join a cult! It was so illogical.
