Character: Jamilia

Well, this woman is an important factor to my stories. How else would Kenna come to being if Jamilia hadn't escaped her greedy uncle and made her way to Tridon? Jamilia was sold into slavery when she was merely fourteen by her uncle when her father died. She was the youngest of twenty three children by four different women. She was brought to Tridon where her captor was killed by elven freedom fighters. They brought her to Midway after they taught her to speak trade language and she knew her rights in the north. They found her work at a tavern where she helped runaway slaves. When she met Flynn Whiteswan on one of his runs she knew she was in love. The birth of Kenna only strengthened the feeling. The loss of both Flynn and then Kenna leaving has been hard, but she continues on.

Jamilia is Ariellan human, thirty eight years of age, around five foot tall and one hundred and ten pounds. She was trim, but age is setting in and she's put on a little weight in the normal places for someone her age. Her face is round with round,b right eyes, long lashes and lush lips. Her skin is dark black and her eyes are dark brown with flecks of gold. Her crinkly black hair that falls slightly below her shoulders and she wears it loose.

She wears the standard fair for Tridon in grays and light blues. With her increasing age she has taken to covering her head. She speak halting trade language and she speaks very little when she does. She is intelligent but her halting speech makes her hard to understand when she is excited.

Jamilia is friendly and attentive. She hates slavers and men who only want women for their bodies.

For your campaign you could have her at the Inn of the Five Roads in Midway as a serving woman. She takes no gruff, knows how to use a knife well, but has all sorts of information that could be useful for traveling party.
Tomorrow: Some place in Bloodhelm
