Appearance and backstory:
Grimhild is a broad-shouldered, towering woman who hails from the distant fjords of the north. Though fair-haired and light-eyed, she is far from angelic: she is an aged warrior in her 50s, face lined with wrinkles and scars like a map.

She seeks honor and glory, whether it be solitary or with comrades.

She carries a worn spear, a round, wooden shield, and carries a seax on her belt.

Juliet is a new character I’ve came up with, the idea came partially from wanting a romance with Rake and partially from Fluttershy (please don’t ask why, cause I dunno XD), she is a female abomination, she has long, filthy blonde hair, which has locks missing in some areas, her entire body, including her ‘dress’, which is basically just a potato sack, is covered in mud, soot, and dirt, and her bruises and scars are quite fresh, suggesting she’s a recently freed abomination.

She can fire from both barrels at once, one time with each of her guns per run. Any subsequent tries to do so are likely to cause an explosion. +50% DMG, +5% CRT, +10 ACC (like dog treats)

Appearance:

Very young lady with a slim figure and long, black hair. Two weird looking guns are holstered by her belt. She looks similar to the in game Grave Robber but with a cloak. Her looks and behavior scream CONFIDENCE.

Backstory:

Young Angelica always had a knack for guns. Her father owned a small workshop, where she would tinker, sometimes all day. Her results were promising, soon she was making custom guns under her father’s guidance. She was forced to use them in self defence on that memorable day, when bandits raided her village, razing it to the ground. Poor Angelica saw outlaws murder her family, but they had more devious plans for the young lass. She escaped them to the workshop, and when they followed, they would be greeted by lead from her two most recently crafted weapons: finely crafted double barreled flintlocks named Fire and Smoke. She’s been on the run ever since, earning her keep as an expert markswoman, her sassy attitude and boundless confidence ever growing.

Tilly
Level Five, Grave Robber
0/6 expeditions until next level

Appearance:
Tilly is 25.
She has murky green eyes, a pointy nose, and straight, sandy-blonde hair that reaches to the end of her shoulderblades. She is of average height and has a thin, spindly frame. She has a chipped tooth, scars along her chest and arms, and a dip in the flesh above her ankle as consequence of her misadventures in the hamlet and in the dungeons.

Items:
She has a long, well-worn, battered coat that has been stitched up and self-repaired several times and a tall, wide-brimmed cockel hat that has seen the same amount of wear and tear. It has many hand-stitched pockets on the outside, which contain throwing knives, and more on the inside, which contain coins and lockpicking tools. She carries a pickaxe on her belt, a satchel over her shoulder, and has an extra knife in her boot.

Motive/Backstory:
She was disinherited from her family at the age of 19, and resorted to a life of robbing the living and the dead to get by. She originally arrived at the Estate after a series of exploits seeking to expand her own wealth. Tilly is not her birth name, but rather a nickname she adopted herself.

Hamlet Shenanigans:
Being the longest-running mercenary at the Hamlet has started to take its toll on her sanity and health. An obsession with gold and the dead manifested from repeated assaults on the mind, though she did give up thieving– for better or worse. She tends to collect friends to a nigh pathological level.

Florence Novel
Level Three, Plague Doctor
3/4 expeditions until next level.

Appearance:
Florence is 36.
Underneath the hood and beaked mask she usually wears, she has a face with a sharp chin and nose. She has brown eyes and short, shoulder-length, choppy brown hair. She is slightly short and is of average weight.

Items:
She wears the usual garb of a plague doctor: beaked mask and all. She carries around a surgical kit as well as vials of varying, corrosive chemicals. In her bag, she has a thick stack of her own notes and a holy book that once belonged to a vestal, though she keeps it more out of an interest in its inherent magical ability than out of an interest in religion.

Motive/Backstory:
Florence was trained in medicine from an early age; her father and grandmother were both doctors. When she was 20, she was hired as a private apothecary to concoct a cure for a particularly isolated strain of the plague. Fourteen years later, when her sponsors ran out of money to support her research for a cure, and her own personal funds ran dry, she had to give up on her project and find a new one at the Darkest Estate.

Hamlet Shenanigans:
Florence arrived at the Hamlet in order to more easily pursue her next research project: efficient resistances to blight. Through deaths of companions, a near-death experience of her own, and a failed reanimation, she developed a fixation on the concept of death, and an obsession with developing an ultimate “cure” for it once and for all.
