Ward's Family

Hollis is making this page so they don't forget all these gremlins after the birthday game.

**Ward's family** is a group of goblin half-siblings and their mother, Peth, living in the city outside Castle Cailleamhan. The siblings themselves have various fathers who will not be listed here. For more detail on Ward himself, see here.

## Family Members (Oldest to Youngest)

* Peth
* Lugg
* Rordon-Gamsey
* Pip
* Ward
* Teg
* Tigz
* Timothy Bronze
* Ariel

A goblin woman who works at the castle. She has yet to appear directly. She is the mother of seven goblin children and one hobgoblin Ward.

Peth's oldest child. Lugg is on the larger side for a goblin (at least compared to his siblings). He's already moved out of the house to start a family of his own, and works as one of the Dog Knights defending the castle. One day he hopes to work up the ranks and even get his own dog.

 He showed up to Ward's twelfth birthday late, due to having to run extra patrols when a human was reported in the area. He gave Ward a gift card to Gramble's shop.

Ward once used prestidigitation to piss his pants when they were kids, but they've since learned to get along with each other.

A professional chef, and one of the more mature siblings in the family. He is the only one capable of making his brother Ward's favorite food (whatever that is). He tried to encourage Ward to take up an interest in foraging, but Ward showed little interest in outdoor activities.

 For Ward's birthday, Rordon presented Ward with a fancy bagel platter from Life is Pain, and was a little bit annoyed when Ward enjoyed it more than his own cooking.

The smallest sibling, physically. Pip uses her proficiency in making traps and setting up nets to catch small prey animals and bring them back for Rordon-Gamsey to cook, sometimes bringing Lugg or one of the others for assistance with larger quarries.

 She often tries to "train" her little brother by setting up traps for him, or bullying him to toughen him up.

She and her sister Ariel kept a human man in a basement, who they named John Smith. For Ward's birthday, Pip attempted to lead John Smith out of the basement to use him as bait to catch a unicorn. Unfortunately, she was unable to restrain John Smith on her own, and had to resort to knocking him out. She sourced help from a fellow trapper, a triton named Kurlus, who pointed out that a more effective way to get a unicorn would be to acquire a golden apple and present it to Ward, so the unicorn would bond with him.

Pip attempted to steal a golden apple from the Marquis' orchard, but was caught in the act by him. After explaining herself, the Marquis let Pip go, deciding it would be rude to throw her in the dungeon on Ward's birthday.

Ward is a middle child, and the tallest of all his siblings.

For his twelfth birthday Ward was to be presented to the court of Castle Cailleamhan, for reasons unknown.

Teg is a musician with an artistic soul, and the twin of Tigz.

They were invited to play at the castle for Ward's presentation to the court, on the condition that they could compete for the Marquis' favor with another musician.

 Instead, they sought to nurture Ward's creative talents, believing Ward hadn't found his medium yet. They first purchased an Easybake Oven from Life is Pain, before trading it at the Bubble Store for a bubble experience they thought to give to their brother. Sadly it popped. In the end they presented Ward with a canvas painted on with their own tears.

Tigz is a clinically depressed goblin, and the twin of Teg.

For Ward's birthday, Tigz went window shopping, and contemplated buying him a "startey deck" for a new card game. They eventually ended up at Gramble's shop, and arranged a deal to take a package to the Marquis in exchange for a magical tutu.

 Tigz met Pip along the way, and fearing the time, gave her their present to Ward to take to the party. However, Tigz got the packages mixed up, and ended up bringing the Marquis the tutu instead.

Tigz later presented the mysterious package to Ward as a replacement birthday gift, feeling too distraught over the situation to explain what had happened.

A "secret agent", Timothy Bronze is his cover name. Some time before Ward's twelfth birthday, Timothy disappeared for a little while, and returned with a single bat wing and a detective persona. He then conferred with Ward about keeping a cover story. Everyone decided this game was pretty much normal for him, and went along with it.

 For his brother's birthday, Timothy Bronze decided to try and obtain a magical book from the library of the Marquis. However, he believed a rival agent was also on the job: a mysterious chicken who appeared to be following him. He managed to sneak into the library and break through the glass protecting the book, only to run into Ward, who was already holding it.

 Timothy Bronze presented Ward with a different library book as a birthday present, which Ward quietly re-shelved.

 The youngest sibling, a goblin girl who develops passionate obsessions. Her latest fixation at the time of Ward's twelfth birthday was humans, and every aspect of them.

 She and Pip kept a human man named John Smith in a basement, who she would feed occasionally, though she didn't understand what kinds of things he needed to eat or how often. She took his things and distributed them among her siblings as gifts. After feeding John Smith a stolen scone from Life is Pain and giving him chicken pox, Ariel contracted it herself. She decided that she should think about taking her human pet to a "vet."

Ariel presented Ward with a book on botany, "Edraska's guide to Every Plant", for his birthday.
