Tewoon Degwesk

**Tewoon Degwesk** is a female Pacahtuk chef from Muladoon and the owner of Degwesk Culinarium. She has a twin sister, Dire Wolf leader Difret Degwesk. She is a cousin of Sujet Ramisk.

## History

Tewoon's history is fraught with chaos. A rough and neglected childhood on Muladoon led her and her sister to seek a life of crime in Taulak's underworld after high school. Years of training under several masters honed them into effective mercenaries, leading them on a path of smuggling, violence, and assassination that spanned several worlds. They eventually ended up on Riesel, where they tackled their biggest jobs yet at the behest of the brutal mafias there.

Tewoon's last mission on Riesel, a vehicular heist, ended exceptionally poorly and almost led to her death. Once she had recovered enough to walk again, she swore off the criminal world and sought a career that had been floating around in the back of her mind for years: running a restaurant.

Inspired by one of the Home-Cozy Diner locations on Muladoon, she receded into her hideout on Riesel and began researching and experimenting with recipes. Her constant cooking caused her to grow quite large, which she deliberately allowed in order to further distance herself from comparisons to her criminal sister.

Once she was satisfied with her studies, she traveled to Siveril Station and received permission to open her first location. She later moved her operations to Etoile Station VII for a time, and then purchased a mobile restaurant which she periodically moved back and forth between Glade 3 and Corneria.

She purchased a second mobile restaurant in 3039, keeping that one on Corneria and the other on Glade 3. In 3040, she bought floorspace in a tower on Riesel and established a permanent location that also included a general store. She commutes between the three locations on a regular basis.

## Career Chef

Tewoon is the owner and head chef of Degwesk Culinarium. She has been described as a dietitian's worst nightmare, frequently dishing up oversized meals with the enthusiasm of a kid in a toy store. Indeed, she is not happy unless each customer leaves full and happy. Tewoon insists that all of her food is made with "natural and healthy ingredients, not nutrient-starved chemical runoff."

## Personality

Tewoon is very bubbly and eccentric, with energy that borders on ludicrous. If she's not playing a friendly gag on someone or blurting a crazy culinary announcement over the restaurant's intercom, she's cooking an elaborate and delicious meal with which to annihilate the hunger of those who partake of it. Despite her eccentricity, she takes her cooking very seriously and strives to provide the very best.

## Appearance

Tewoon is very large — a proper testament to her occupation as a professional chef. Despite this, her energy is still enough to exasperate her sister. Due to her earlier life as a mercenary, she is quite strong and can throw her weight around with frightening speed.
