Note: One of the "Entertainers of Holodrum"

Age: 22
Gender: Female
Parentage: orphaned, twin of Rom
Race: human
Height: 5'8"
Weight: slender but muscled

Description: She keeps her blonde hair short so that it doesn't tangle with the acrobatic equipment, but it tangles and falls about her head in a very charming way. She is very slight of body, and wears a purple laced jerkin and hose, with black short breeches to keep herself "decent". When she's not performing, she'll put on a black ankle-length skirt. She usually is barefoot, but if she wears shoes they are basic lace-up dance shoes. She has a braided leather belt that has carries a plain dagger most of the time, and when they are traveling, her crossbow.
Vehicles: Access to Decorated Wagon, Open Cart, and two strong ponies.
Personality: A sweet blonde who likes to cook and find useful plants. She is a healer, with a very little magic.
History:
The troupe began when Johvan and Rishu left their home with one horse and a fiddle after Johvan's wife died and they couldn't keep up with the farm. Rishu was 4. They made money by Johvan's fiddle and knowledge of folk-songs, and Rishu's sheer cuteness. In one city, a pair of orphaned girls in search of adventure tagged along and discovered they liked to dance and do acrobatics. The four pooled their money and bought an open cart and another horse.
They met a man singing in the main courtyard of Holodrum Castle Town one night after a performance. Barott wasn't attracting a big enough crowd to be a threat, but something in his face prompted Johvan to invite him into the troupe. Barott doesn't talk much, and it is often assumed that he doesn't know very much of the language,
About a year later, they met a beautiful dancer named Din, who reminded Johvan of his long-lost wife. Then a woman named Impa, a friend of Din's, became their cook, and finally a boy named Link appeared nearby. He was a good swordsman and deft acrobat. Plus, he was cute. With Din and Link on the troupe, they made more money than ever before. But, Din, Impa and Link were called away by fate, and the troupe set off for new parts.
One night, a boy and girl on a single horse came riding up to their campfire, dressed in strange attire - pirate-style costumes, with real swords. They were bruised and battered, exhausted beyond complete sanity. Mel quickly patched them up, and through the next weeks, the troupe learned that their names were Lena and Seren, and they had come from a very messed up realm where an old man had had a nightmarish control over them both. Slowly they recuperated, although they both still suffer from nightmares.
Now the seven are inter-realm travelers, traveling from all the different lands that they can find.
Abilities: acrobatics, tumbling, basic fencing, dancing, cooking and healing small things, strong longbow and crossbow skills
Known Strengths and weaknesses: Strong longbow skills, strong crossbow skills. Afraid of snakes.
