### Status

Alive

> "*I'm not saying someone has to be completely alone and refuse help. I'm saying that to rely on others to such an extent that you can't function independently somehow, makes you a parasite. Even if your only outlet is the thoughts in your head, it must be yours alone.*"

## Personality

This fireblooded woman isn’t the typical picture of her raging, impulsive element. Awei is like lava rather than a wildfire. She is a slow spreading certainty that’ll burn away the chaos to make it a far more orderly charcoal. Bystanders don’t need to worry at least; her fire is pretty predictable given how business oriented and ‘practical’ she strives to be. She’s the tavern owner most focused on redoing the expenses and make a profit again. This is seen by how she visits other taverns to spy, and then ‘borrow’, the ideas for their service and how she’s maximizing the food profit by setting up a PR barbeque in town square. She’s not good at the charisma aspect though. Awei’s got a resting bitch face. And an active bitch face. She’s just a bitch. Despite that, she’s very invested in how her workers are treated. Making a true profit means *everyone* must profit. Everyone gets a good wage and respect, though Awei’s idea of that is a very formal relationship. She’s not going to delude anyone into thinking they’re working as a “family”. Awei’s not sure what being a family even means. Judging by how distant she is, she might not want to find out.

## Lore

### What You All Know

Awei is an orphan. Her time in an orphanage was spent being rebellious and full of attempts to make enough money to get out of it. Her best friend was a duck named Darius who was then cooked up and eaten by some village boys. She created the flaming Deadly Duck spell in Darius’ honor, which she then used to ruthlessly torment the boys from then on. It’s implied she’s been to fantasy juvie before. Awei used to run an illegal pawn shop before she met her fellow party members.

### Actual Backstory

Awei is a mage of the Self. This uncommon kind of magic is generated by Awei’s extreme independence and detached nature.

## Notable Equipment

*Raindrop Necklace:* A necklace that summons a 50 foot long/wide downpour of rain for 3 minutes. It can be activated 3 times a day and recharges at dawn. She doesn’t wear it often unless she’s going out for an adventure.

*Shitty dagger:* For all her claims of being practical, Awei has this tinky little dagger that’s chipped beyond belief. She carries it with her often.

## Relationships

#### Edelweiss Cloverthread

> "*You want to earn your place in the world. I understand. I've never had the privileges you had, and I admire you for not letting your birth control you.*"

“Edelweiss is the ideal co-owner for a business. She understands how finances, networking, and staff motivation works. She doesn’t pry into my shit. She makes decorative doilies out of her own ‘paycheck’. If anyone rips or stains them on purpose I’ll kick them out of the bar. Edel should be more respected. She values people’s privacy and everyone around her should value hers. Her fur is also very… soft. I want to hug her, as childish as that sounds. I’d just like to know her better overall. Something about her resonates with me.”

#### Elaine Fogwood

> "*I'm not stealing their recipes. We're just improving them. Well, you are in a technical sense. I believe in you.*"
> ― Awei as she and Elaine snooped on another tavern's drink menu

“She’s my sort-of-not-really partner in crime. Elaine is too good to be a ‘typical’ criminal. I could see her running some bat shit alchemical experiments that’d do property damage as her crime, heh. She has the energy of a mad scientist. I think she’ll be able to use that well in brewing some alchemical cocktails. It’s good that she’s able to use her skills. When it was just us… I’m not sure why she stayed with me as long as she has. I wasn’t exactly a great conversationalist about chemistry. I mean, Elaine met me running from the cops for fucks sakes. That’s another thing. She’s too sweet to be a partner to someone so sour. Ha.”

#### Kanna Impaya

> "*If you have to rule by fear then you're not strong enough to be vulnerable. It shows insecurity. You can't make someone respect you, so you have to threaten to hurt them so they do.*"
> ― Awei expressing disapproval for the way Kanna's father treated her

“Apparently I remind her of her dad. Why? I’m strict, stubborn, and I know I’m my own G-d. Also, I’m the bossy one of our group. Its good other people recognize that but… I don’t want to scare her wit our similarities. Her, uh… *everything* about her, clearly shows she wasn’t treated very well back home. So I’m just treating her like I would anyone else. I hope that works out for both of us. It’s hard to tell. The woman’s unpredictable.”

#### Tavern Staff

##### Harley Sinata

> "*Harley. Every shot a staff member takes from this tavern is money being drunk away into the red. Unless that glass is from a personal store you've bought yourself and I'm mistaken, this is the last one you'll have from the bar directly.*"
>

“She needs more discipline in life. Taking away your ability to drink on the job means you’ll stop spilling what’s left for our customers.”

##### Gale Eastoff

> "*No errors in this report... Good job. I'd give you a raise if we both knew that was possible.*"
> ― The way most of Awei and Gale's conversations go

“He’s my favorite staff member. On time, to the point, and only a bit dramatic about the finances. Kind of handsome too. I’m a stickler for straight faced competency.”

##### Asa Veenheshi

“Creepy but gets results. Can’t complain.”

##### Grrbmurgla "Murry" Slrggla

> "*I'm not sure how we're going to run the sex dungeon situation. I do want to set up some bondaries rules for your sake since you'll be working in there so let me know what you want included in the sexual harrasment policy.*"
> ― Awei trying to be a good boss

“The previous owner got her as a professional bather, but it seems like she’s going to get another job of her own volition. I just hope none of our customers push her into it... No, no, I’m not worried for Murry in that scenario. I just don’t want to deal with the court case that can come after an entire tavern murders one person at the same time.”
