Gentle of the Living Wilds

Gentle is a older mustelkin woman. Standing around 5 ft. tall with soft brown colored fur and a muzzle long turned white with age. Her dark brown/blue eyes remain sharp in spite of said age and so does her tongue. Speaking with the typically thick accent from the Living Wilds region. Gentle takes pride in her appearance decorating the longer sections of fur with ribbons and complex braids. She always always wears a metal choker set with a pair of amethyst and a bloodstone pendant. Always smelling of coffee and honeysuckle, Gentle is ready and willing to invite the weary in for a much needed rest.

General Knowledge

Gentle is the owner of a local boarding house in Calstien (capital).  She is a more recent addition to city's middle class district having only moved in the last ten years.  Before moving to the city, Gentle was born and raised resident of the mining town Hasstead.  There she worked in the mines from the age of ten well into her thirties.  Once she had enough savings Gentle left Hasstead to go into the hospitality business, something she's always had a passion for, eventually landing a dream location where there's always a traveler in need of a good rest.  While Gentle is the only fully permanent resident of the home, many have come and gone from the boarding house. Giving Gentle a very large web of connections.  Her boarding house is highly recommended for folks down on there luck or in need of a safe place to spend a night.

What role do they play? A gentle heart in trying times.

Connections

Gentle is someone everyone seems to know locally. Her reputation as a kind old woman with a warm bed and a hot meal for the weary proceeds her. Some are surprised by her agreement to work with the Steward's Tower and Faustius Gehanne. At the end of the day though, Gentle knows a good opportunity when she sees one.

Kuria Sang | Gentle has taken a strong liking to the quietly anxious Korvis transplant. Allowing them to use of the entire top floor of her boarding house as a doctor office and living quarters. Gentle has seemingly unofficially adopted them.
