Aoife
Aoife (Ay-fah), a Halfling in her early 40s. Not much more than 3 feet tall, thin and wiry, and nimble. Her hair amber, wild, a bit shorter, just past her chin. Skin on the paler side, with many small scars across her arms and hands. A tattoo of an ivy branch with leaves on the side of her neck, barely noticeable with her collar pulled up. Always seems to be smirking.
Sisters by bond, not blood. Nigh inseparable, even if they won't admit it. An odd pairing, both very different personalities, but always at each other's back....at least when they're not at each other's throats.
Aoife was actually an only child to a sweet, hardworking Halfling couple that desperately wanted a big, happy family. Fishers by trade, they worked hard on the docks of Hadleigh, day in and day out, yet still found plenty of time to take care of young Aoife.
Life on the Isles can be harsh, and unfortunately many find themselves losing loved ones. Whether from harsh storms, ravenous sea creatures, or bloody raids, death is far from uncommon. Sadly, that was the reality of a lone infant Orc, found on a small abandoned ship. But, fate had different plans for her, and she was fortunately found by a kindly, caring Halfling couple, taken in, fed, cared for, and immediately considered family.
Aoife immediately loved her new sister, and often took it upon herself to protect Saoirse, even as the little Orc grew taller than her. The two became inseparable, and while they'd often drive each other crazy as most siblings do, they always watched out for one another, fought for one another, and often got into loads of trouble together.
Aoife is loud, boisterous, charismatic, full of life and zeal, always with a joke or tall tale. While headstrong and often stubborn, she's quite clever and usually has an answer for every situation... Even if that answer may seem a bit insane. She fell into the life of a merchant, using her connections from traveling all over the Isles since she was little to make unlikely friends and business alliances. She knows her way around, often knows how to get ahold of whatever you need, even if it may be difficult for her to do so. Even though she and her sister have only been running a two woman operation most of their lives, their business has been surprisingly profitable, much due to Aoife's business intuitions.
Still somewhat new to Hunter's Quarry, having only lived in the town for the past decade, the people there have nonetheless accepted them as a crucial and beloved part of the community. That feeling has been mutual for the sisters as well, as time and time again, they've called the Port of Hunter's Quarry home, and have done much to make sure the community survives.
