Shabbezz Whorlpad is a bit of a rarity among her people, a grippli who took not to the magic of nature or the gods but to the intellectual pursuit of arcane theory. Hailing from the jungle forests of Southern Garund, the young wizard studied her way up from the Maagambya academy all the way to Quantium in Nex. There she showed an aptitude in both linguistics and the area of divination. Indeed, hers seems to be a promising future in the halls of the university.
Through connections gained through a sitting tenured professor, Shabbezz managed to get in contact with the Pathfinder Society and is using their resources to mount an expedition to Varisia. There she intends to scribe a thesis on the origin of the perplexing Thassilonian language that tends to turn up on monuments and artifacts in that country. She has recently arrived in Magnimar with the intent of continuing her studies.
Appearance & Personality:
Like many gripplis, Shabbezz is spindly and resembles nothing so much as an anthropomorphized tree frog, red eyes and all. Her skin is a bright green mottled with purple markings, her neck and belly are yellow, and her hands and feet are reddish-orange. A deep blue webbing extends between her fingers and toes, and she can extend this to help her glide short distances. There are two small black protuberances at the ends of her eyelids that give the somewhat feminine impression of eyelashes. She dresses in scholarly robes of purple, red, and green, accented with orange Mwangi-inspired designs. Whatever she wears, she's almost never seen without an amulet, her bonded object.
Shabezz is reasonably friendly to new acquaintances, but her wide eyes and rarely blinking gaze tends to make people uncomfortable. She is most at ease when she has the chance to study and examine a subject through her divinations, and sees combat as a distasteful necessity, something best ended as soon as possible.
