Pagma, the Inquisitive Boom
One misty morning, she wandered into the town, a slip of a young girl. Little curious five-year-old Pagma, a Tain-Sing girl who was the only daughter of a pair of ne'er-do-wells. "What happened?!?" they asked.
Willowshore was safe enough, but the couple liked to wander wide into the woods, taking their little one on 'adventures' they said, but mostly to get away from working (according to Pagma's grandfather at least). The site of the animal attack was never found, so with pitying glances at each other, the townsfolk came to the conclusion that the bear attack had been fabricated. A ruse so they could abandon their 'stone of responsibility' on Papa (the cranky grandfather). Cranky grandfather (named Dau) grumbled, gave the little one a baleful glare, then ordered her to get a job if she wanted to stay. He was hurt, himself, you see, and his granddaughter looked so much like his daughter that the hurt soured (making him more of a grumpy ass than normal). The Thrice Blessed Inn was the nearest business, so the little one went immediately and started trying to carry trays (too big), scrubbing floors (and making a mess), and trying to drag out drunks (which was just ridiculous). But Mother Otis took pity on her, since she was fond of the ne'er-do-wells, despite the abandonment. So little Pagam got a job that very day. That was fifteen years ago. Now the outgoing young woman helps wherever and whomever she can, that same feeling of any day she could be told to leave if she wasn't working is buried deep in her heart. The feeling especially comes out when one of her experiments goes BOOM in the field next to her small wooden hut near the inn. Pagma simply loves chemicals. And Tea, of course, but Tea doesn't blossom into fiery reds and billowing blacks like alchemist fire does. She also loves Willowshore, Mother Otis, and even her cantankerous Papa. She cares a bunch for almost everyone else as well. Her traits include a curiosity that drives her, knowing So much about absolutely nothing important, an inability to can't remember well, and a habit of babbling. She hates bears. Doesn't really like going out into the wilderness at all. And finds most Hero stories to be utterly lacking in sense (not that she has any herself). All a product of the confused desire to want to believe her mothers died instead of left. Mother Otis pushed for her to volunteer to be an abductee, so she agreed. But she has carried a whole sack full of her most stable incendiaries. 'Most stable' is a very relative phrase. --- A hideous-looking pus-filled white spider with black dots will crawl around near the Tain woman. A brave someone or another becomes a hero to kill the creepy horror show on too many legs, only for their damsel to jump in front yelling "STOP he is with me!" The poor spider fell into one of her vats where she dumped everything she had just to see what it would do. Well, it produced a spider that was wrong is SO many ways. Ugly, over-legged, leaking odd chemicals when you squeeze its belly (or startle it). Still, it is hers so don't step on it!!!!
