Gazebo here! Unfortunately, I've dropped Rickon Stark, as I've had difficulty sustaining his voice especially in a log format.
However, I do want to have a character who isn't obsessed with mages and cats. Therefore I bring you Dr. Laisa Toscane. Laisa is from Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga, a genre-defying sort of a book series that roughly falls into the sci-fi category except when it forgets it's sci-fi and wants to be a whodunit, a comedy, or a Regency romance.
She's on the verge of thirty, her doctorate is in "business theory" (I'm just quoting, okay) and nothing to do with medicine, and she's just gotten herself established in a new job as representative for a Komarran trade delegation to Barrayar. Komarr is a planet. Barrayar is also a planet. Wormholes and shipping and tariffs are involved. This may bore you. I hope that Laisa won't.
She's not in the combat line at all, and she won't be fighting on missions; rather, her skillset lends itself to things like figuring out supply chain logistics. She's also an experienced public speaker. Not a rhetorician, however - her presentations are factual, and her approach is low-key and personable.
She is going to be so in over her head here. Bring on your dragons and your elves. I'm looking forward to challenging her horizons, and also to getting CR finally with people Anders wouldn't talk to!
tl;dr new character, from a book series, she's a lady and she's not even a mage, also hi

violentgazebo, please do feel free to add me if I don't add / haven't already added you in a mad rush of FRIEND ALL THE PEOPLES.
