Lydia Bailey

Lydia Bailey is a middle aged widow living in Kalleandar; she has no children, but is rather close to her sister and her family. She owns and operates the Groggy Goose, the bar once owned by her late husband. More often than not, she appears overworked and overtired, and at least somewhat frustrated by her clientele. However, she is a diligent, fastidious worker and her business runs as smoothly as anyone could expect.
While it is perfectly legal for a woman to own property in Asanon, it is not the norm, and many believe that it is not a woman's place. Further, the Goose is located in a shady part of town, with more than a few rowdy customers. Many of Lydia's friends and family told her that she should sell the bar after her husband's death, that it wasn't safe for her to keep working there alone, but she refused to let her husband's work go to waste. When hearing of this through the grapevine, Jack Callahan offered to intercede: he uses the bar as a meeting place and hangout for the Ember Gang, and, for his part, he keeps out everyone who would try to strong-arm her or cause her trouble. While she generally appears cross with him and he often demanding of her, they are actually on friendly terms, and both acknowledge the assistance of the other.
