Emilie Hollowhill

**Emilie Hollowhill** is a halfling and traveling actress, singer, dancer, and currently, a deckhand aboard **The Thunderbird**.

## Description

### Appearance

Emilie is a cute young halfling, with a slender build, fair skin, and black hair and blue eyes. She dresses in traditional halfling attire, and is always wearing at least one of two purple garments. She loves jewelry and tends to wear a lot of it. In the traditional halfling fashion, Emilie does not wear shoes.

### Personality

Emilie is both a survivor and somebody who possesses a deep compassion for others. She is a loner with a deep wanderlust. She has a habit of collecting baubles from the various places she travels.

Despite her tendency to be a loner, Emilie is very charismatic and is a very talented performer, specializing in dancing and singing, though she's done a little acting here and there to get by. She's also a talented pickpocket.

While she may be something of a thief, she still has some kind of code of honor and repays her debts; for example, joining the crew of the Minnow out of a sense of obligation to the people who saved her life.

She's not great in a fight, having a tendency to fly into a panic when things start going south.

## Biography

### Background

Emilie was raised in a nomadic halfling clan from the Eastern Plains. For unknown reasons, Emilie left her clan and joined a traveling minstrel company. After a little while with them, she again left for reasons unknown and traveled by herself to the city of **Ibrido** in the **Lucain Coast**.

### Start of the Game

Emilie was among those at the **Lucky Shoe** the night it was attacked by **The Drowned**. She survived the initial attack mostly because of where she happened to be when it happened. She was one of six survivors of that attack, and stayed there to help out Mabel in the wake of the destruction.

After Chime, Theras, and Drumbo stopped the cult, Emilie was very aware of who had saved them all. She personally thanked them, developing a casual friendship with the three of them. She stayed there the entire time they did, sleeping by the hearth every night.

When Drumbo was killed in **the arena**, Emilie was saddened and was one of only two people beside Chime and Theras to attend Drumbo's funeral (the other being Mabel).

A few days later, when approached by Chime about joining his airship crew, Emilie agreed out of a sense of obligation to her friend.
