Character Profiles Character Profile: PearlName: Pearl Skinner Casting pic/art: Location: Port Caynn Bio: I was the Rogue of Port Caynn in 247 H.E. I came to that position in roughly 243 H.E. My focus has also been on accruing wealth for myself. What else is being the Rogue about? I am their Queen, so it is only fitting that people bring a gift to talk to me. I'm sure King Roger doesn't give just anyone an audience without proper compensation. The incompotence of my co-conspirators led to me being captured and arrested for colemongering by Guardswoman Beka Cooper and Corporal Guardswoman Clara Goodwin on Friday 21 September 247. You can find me: Colemongering, gambling, replacing teeth with pearls. Greatest achievement: Becoming the Rogue. Second is probably the colemongering scheme or convincing Sir Lionel to send his children back to Trebond. Most embarrassing moment: That sarden Dog Cooper tricking me into letting her hide out in one of the Court's of the Rogue when on the run from Sir Lionel. Something people don't know: My father was an alcoholic. But he got what was coming to him, along with the rest of my worthless family. Biggest crush: Dale Rowan. He's very charming What did you want to be when you grew up: The Queen. Rogue was just the second best option. Who are you jealous of (and why): No one. Who would the Rogue be jealous of? Other random stuff: Pearl teeth are beautiful. I don't care what other people say. And if I catch anyone else mocking them behind my back they'll be dealt with severely!

Character Profile: ErskenName: Ersken Westover. Casting pic/art: Location: The Lower City, Corus Bio: I have recently become a Dog in the Provost's Guard. I am stationed at the Jane Street Kennel with my friend, Beka Cooper. My partner is Wulfric Birch. I technically live with my parents, but I spend most nights with my lady Kora. We've even started talking about finding a place of our own. I have friends on both sides of the law, but it has never been a problem for me. You can find me: Dogging, enjoying breakfast with my friends at the Dancing Dove, reading. Greatest achievement: Helping catch Pearl Skinner and her Rats. Most embarrassing moment: Going full-front into the gutter on my first night as a Puppy. I was just lucky that Beka's night was worse or I would have been known as Slimepuppy. Something people don't know: I don't really like Kora's kitten. Biggest crush: Kora. What did you want to be when you grew up: A Dog. My sisters all laughed when I told them, but I stuck to my dreams. Who are you jealous of (and why): Beka. She got to go on a hunt to Port Caynn! Other random stuff: I might seem innocent and soft, but I am a good Dog. I take my work seriously and I like to think I do it well.

Character Profile: TeodorieName: Teodorie of Haryse. Casting pic/art: Location: Provost's House, Corus Bio: I am the wife of Lord Gershom of Haryse, the Lord Provost of Tortall, and the mother of his children. I come from a good family and have tried to raise the children in my care in a way that reflects this. I am a strict mistress, but I like to think I am fair. You can find me: Running my household, raising my children and whomever else my Lord rescues from the streets, fine needlework and stitching, despairing over the life choices of my husband's ward Greatest achievement: Turning most of the Cooper children into fine young ladies and men. Most embarrassing moment: Having to make excuses for my husband at parties or events he should be at, when instead he is slumming it in the streets and chasing criminals. Also too many to name involving one Rebekah Cooper. Something people don't know: I used to think it was exciting to be the wife of the Lord Provost. Biggest crush: Gershom. What did you want to be when you grew up: The wife of the Prime Minister. Who are you jealous of (and why): Rebakah Cooper. She has a connection with my Lord I will never understand or share. Other random stuff: Some people may say it is unladylike for a well-bred lady like myself to enage in so much needlework, but it is inconceivable that I would let anyone else even touch my Lord's clothes.

Character Profile: DajaName: Daja Kisubo Casting pic/art: Location: 6 Cheeseman Street, Summersea, Emelan Bio: I was born a Blue Trader. I lived and worked with my family on Third Ship Kisubo until a storm sank the ship and killed everyone but me. After being rescued by Niko and brought to Winding Circle in Emelan, I met Sandry, Tris and Briar. During an earthquake, Sandry spun our magic together and we have been linked ever since. After saving Tenth Caravan Idaram from a forest fire, my status as trangshi was reversed. I was once again able to converse and trade with other Traders, although I chose to remain at Winding Circle with my foster siblings. After travelling to Kugisko with Frostpine, I returned to Namorn with my foster siblings to look after Sandry. It was there I met my first love, Rizu. However, my family and I have since returned home to Emelan. You can find me: In my forge, working on my living metal projects, visiting Winding Circle, practising with my staff and arguing with my foster siblings. Greatest achievement: Taking on Namorn's Empress and greatest mages with my foster siblings...and winning. But really, what did they think would happen when they kept kidnapping Sandry and making her angry? Most embarrassing moment: Being knocked flat on my back by Skyfire in Staff Training...right when all the novices were on their way past to the dining hall. Something people don't know: Sometimes I still think of Ben as my friend. Biggest crush: Rizu What did you want to be when you grew up: A ship's captain Who are you jealous of (and why): Frostpine. He can make metal do things I can't even dream of. Other random stuff: Living in a house with 3 bickering mages might seem dangerous to some people, but I like it. At least things are never dull!

Character Profile: Duke VedrisName: Vedris fer Toren. Also known as Duke Vedris IV of Emelan Casting pic/art: Location: The Duke's Citadel, Summersea, Emelan Bio: I am the current Duke of Emelan, a safe and prosperous country on the north shore of the Pebbled Sea. My family has ruled Emelan for the last 800 years. I take my position very seriously and try to be fair at all times, though I am also very strict and do not tolerate lawlessness within my borders. I am not overly fond of entertaining and social functions at the Citadel were virtually extinct after the death of my wife, especially as none of my sons remain at home. Now that my great-niece Sandrilene is resisding with me, I am making plans to start entertaining again, with her as my hostess. You can find me: Ruling the Duchy of Emelan, scaring off pirates, arguing with my neice and Lord Seneschal about my health, dining with the lovely Yazmin. Greatest achievement: Establishing Summersea as the safest port on the Pebbled Sea. And my neice, if I can claim any credit there. Most embarrassing moment: With sons like mine? Too many to count. Something people don't know: I have always been uncomfortable at large parties. If it wasn't undignified, in my youth I probably would have hidden behind the curtains. Biggest crush: My wife is still the love of my life, but lately I'm been enjoying the company of Yazmin Hebet. What did you want to be when you grew up: A Captain in the Navy, so I could chase pirates to my heart's content. Or a travelling performer. Anything that would take me away from a life of burden and responsibility. Please don't tell my great-niece I ever thought that! Who are you jealous of (and why): Niko. He has such freedom. And impeccable taste in clothes. Other random stuff: I got my earring as a dare when I was younger and decided to keep it. My children don't like it, but Yazmin says it makes me look dashing

Character Profile: OspreyName: Osprey Casting pic/art: Location: Winding Circle Temple, Summersea, Emelan Bio: I am a Dedicate of the Air Temple at Winding Circle in Summersea. I am the apprentice of Dedicate Crane, the First Initiate of the Air Temple. I have studied with him for over 5 years now, during which time he has been teaching me the study of diseases and their cures and vaccinations. You can find me: Studying with Crane, working in the Greenhouse with Crane, comforting people who get fired by Crane. Occasionally I dine with my friends in the dining hall away from Crane. Greatest achievement: Helping find the cure for the Blue Pox. Most embarrassing moment: I'd, uh, rather not say. It's not just my story to tell, you see, and I don't want to embarras Ki- I mean, my friend. Yes, friend. Something people don't know: Rosethorn isn't as scary as everyone makes her out to be. Biggest crush: Kirel. What did you want to be when you grew up: A chef. But then I realised I was terrible so I joined the Temple. It's worked out well. I get to study with a Great Mage and eat as much of Gorse's delicious cooking as I want. Who are you jealous of (and why): No one really. Maybe Trisana Chandler. Crane seems to hold her in very high esteem. Thank goodness she's already Master Niko's student! Other random stuff: That story about me being caught in an, uh, awkward position behind the greenhouses with a Novice from another Temple just isn't true. I wish people would stop talking about it as if it was!

Character Profile: TayburName: Taybur Sibigat Casting pic/art: Location: The Grey Palace, Rajmuat, Kypriang Island, the Kyprish Isles . Bio: I was the Captain of the King's Guard in the Copper Isles, beginning in 463 H.E. My only concern was the safety and welfare of my young charge, King Dunevon. I tried my best to give him as normal a life as a young King could have. I wanted him to enjoy his boyhood. After his scheming sister and brother-in-law murdered him, I pledged my allegiance to Aly Homewood and helped the rebels take the Grey Palace. I am now the Captain of the Queen's Guard and godsparent to Aly and Nawat Crow's triplets. You can find me: Protecting the monarchs of the Copper Isles, matching wits with Aly Crow, playing with Darkings. Greatest achievement: Helping to overthrow the pretenders to the Copper Isles throne. Most embarrassing moment: I don't embarrass easily. No matter what the Crow Man says (I still say it's unfair for him to go first in hide and seek!). Something people don't know: I still miss Dunevon. I fear I failed him and hope he is at peace in Black God's realm. Biggest crush: I don't have time for crushes. I have a Queen to protect. And just because I spend a lot of time with her doesn't mean I have a crush on her, so you can stop dropping hints Miss Nosy Pants! It's my job. What did you want to be when you grew up: A father. Who are you jealous of (and why): No one. Again, I don't have the time. But I have been known to engage in a bit of professional rivalry for time to time. No, Aly, that doesn't count as jealousy! For that, I'd have to want your job! Other random stuff: One would have thought that a fourteen year old girl didn't need as much chasing after as a four year old, but that wouldn't take into account that a fourteen year old can find much more inventive hiding places to read.

Character Profile: LerantName: Lerant of Eldorne Casting pic/art: Location: Technically the King's Own barracks in Corus, Tortall. Practically, wherever Third Company of the Own happens to be that week. Bio: I come from Fief Eldorne. Although my family was allowed to keep our titles and lands, we have not escaped untainted from my aunt Delia's high treason. I applied for posts in the army, navy and as a man-at-arms, but was rejected due to said treason. My Lord Raoul saved me by bringing me into the King's Own and making me the standard bearer of Third Company, a position which I love. You can find me: Waiting on Lord Raoul's every need, tormenting upstart squires, raising orphaned squirrels. Greatest achievement: Taking an arrow for my Lord. Most embarrassing moment: There are many. Highest on the list are being rejected from every post I applied for just because of the actions of one member of my family. Just below them is having Squire Keladry witnessing me being bullied by other nobles and then standing up for me. My snub nose also makes the list. Something people don't know: I actually don't mind Squire Keladry as much as I let on. But if you tell anyone I'll have to hurt you! Biggest crush: Dom What did you want to be when you grew up: A Knight. Stupid treasonous aunts ruining the family name...Who are you jealous of (and why): Squire Keladry of Mindelan. She's trying to take my place with my Lord! Other random stuff: My aunt Delia really is the kraken.

Character Profile: RispahName: Baroness Rispah of Trebond. Previously Rispah Cooper. Casting pic/art: Location: Fief Trebond, Tortall Bio: I grew up in the Lower City of Corus, Tortall. I was always close to my aunt Eleni and her son George. I eventually followed my cousin into the darker side of life in Corus, becoming the Queen of the Ladies of the Rogue during his time as Rogue. Through him, I met the young Alan of Trebond, whom I later learned was actually Alanna. After returning from the desert, Alanna stayed with my cousin and I in Port Caynn, where I met Coram Symthesson for the first time. A handsome and dashing older man, we fell in love and were eventually married. After his coronation and Alanna's marriage to George, King Jonathon made Coram and I the Baron and Baroness of Trebond. You can find me: Managing my lands and 10 children with my husband Coram, practising my knife skills, keeping my cousin on his toes. Greatest achievement: Helping to fight off the treasonous soldiers and save the King on his Coronation day. That, and being Queen of the Ladies of the Rogue Most embarrassing moment: Being jumped by those upstarts trying to get at George. They weren't even proper rogues! Something people don't know: Coram and I were aiming for a dozen children, but I got too tired after 10. Biggest crush: Coram, though I always thought Old Solom was quite handsome when he was younger What did you want to be when you grew up: A priestess of the Goddess like my aunt Eleni. Who are you jealous of (and why): Thayet. She's so graceful. Other random stuff: Coram made me swear by every god he could think of - and I'm pretty sure he made a few up just to be sure - to never tell Alanna, but he's terrified one of the mites might just run off to be a knight like their Auntie. I haven't the heart to tell him it won't be just one.

Character Profile: King Roger IIIName: King Roger Casting pic/art: Location: The Palace, Corus Bio: I like long walks through my palace, watching the sunset over my kingdom, and cocktails by one of my many lakes. I also somewhat like my second wife and my son. You can find me: inspecting the fitness of my knights (especially my lady knights) and holding garden parties. Greatest achievement: Finishing that crossword from Gershom. He said I couldn't do it, but I showed him! (Okay, I may have gotten a Naxen to help me. So what?) Most embarrassing moment: Realising Sabine had spurned me for a lower city Dog. Something people don't know: I actually lived 200 years in the future, and came to this time due to a little glitch in my plan to destroy the world. I'm happy now, though I seem to have a slight obsession with lady knights. I don't like the colour blue. WHY DOES EVERYONE ASSUME I DO?! Biggest crush: .... What a silly question. Myself! What did you want to be when you grew up: Queen. But I will settle for King. Who are you jealous of (and why): My wife. She gets to wear pretty, delicate tiaras while I'm stuck with clunky crowns full of jewels (okay, who am I kidding? I love it.) Other random stuff: Zoolander stole 'Blue Steel' from my baby portraits.
