Mika
Kawli (a.k.a. Mika)
“She jerked back startled at the sound of high-pitched reedy screaming, opening her eyes in alarm to see that Din was no longer rushing towards her but on the ground clutching at his side which was rapidly being taken over by fire. Stunned, she could dimly hear the sound of frantic whispers—the other goblins scattering away like smoke when she turned to look at them.
She looked back at the still whimpering goblin and then down at her hands, the tips of her fingers maintaining the last traces of faint warmth. Kawli frowned as she carefully touched them, Did I do this?"
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Small even by goblin standards with shoulder length dark hair and eyes to go with the olive green skin. Not at all built but has a surprising quickness to her.
Body Features
If you look beneath her long sleeves and pants you’d find various scars to follow suit from minor to menacing.
Facial Features
She has a prominent scar on one cheek, clearly done by a weapon of some kind.
Special abilities
Transmuted herself from a goblin to an elf at age 21.
Apparel & Accessories
Typically found only in dark colors though in recent times she’s acquired a deep red coat. Clothes are plain and often require mending or cleaning from various “mishaps”.
Specialized Equipment
- An odd brain shaped ring
- A flaming sword
- A prayer bead necklace
Mental characteristics
Education
Education was not a priority in Mika’s early life though she found great enjoyment at reading the stray book. It was not until her magic came to light that she decided to pursue more beyond a typical goblin lifestyle and did her best to teach herself.
Mika has spent time training at the College of Evocation and her education was supplemented before that thanks to the kind people at the Temple of Chirae.
Mika is quite good at reading and puzzles but lacks any capability or care for subjects like art, music, or history.
Employment
Mika has no official career outside of being an adventurer. Being a goblin in a non goblin society tends to cast suspicions on even the most mundane job pursuits. She occasionally supplements her income by gambling.

Mental Trauma
The nomadic goblin lifestyle is not an often kind one and Mika has seen and been apart of terrible things. Outside of that she’s alienated for her appearance wherever she goes. She tries to focus on the future vs lingering in the past and often refuses to think on such things.
Intellectual Characteristics
Mika has a big brain and the ingenuity and creativity to advance it but her biggest flaw is her impulsivity. If she thinks something or someone is wrong in any regard it’s hard for her to wait even if it’s the better option.
She greatly dislikes being told what to do and hates people who love to order others about. Mika’s resolved to not be in a position where she’s forced to follow the whims of others and even gentle authority chaffs her.
Morality & Philosophy
She has a strange often alien philosophy. Mika tries to work past established goblin standards of morals (stealing things, strong beating and enslaving the weak.) Still her views are often clouded by her experiences and she’s quick to make snap judgments as she doesn’t often get the intricacies of non goblin culture. She’s seen a lot of bad things in the world and despite her chaotic nature would like to become a better person and strives towards doing good things even if she occasionally causes trouble in the process.

Thurl
Social
Contacts & Relations
She values her friends such as Sahrana, Tali, Sora, and Maria. She also appreciates Morgan and Remmy for their efforts in helping the group.
She’s come to think better of Henry and Druex though she’s not overly impressed by either of them and worries how’d they do without the party around.
She admires the Green Sparrow and appreciates her good natured and kind personality as much as her lovely appearance.
Family Ties
Mika has no living family as far as she’s aware and her original clan has long been slaughtered or absorbed into others by stronger goblins and hobgoblins. She thinks she remembers a grandmother-ly figure at some point.
Religious Views
Before escaping Golbun Mika never thought much of religion. The religious beliefs that the majority of Goblins held seemed a dubious reward to her but she’d dutifully follow what the goblin magepriests told them.
She’s come to admire the Lady Chirae and values her kind nature and often feels a kinship with her. Mika is not the strongest believer and isn’t sure what place awaits someone like her but will uphold her vows to honor her goddess.
Hobbies & Pets
She views Gorgonzola not as a pet but a friend (her first ever) but takes responsibility for his mischievous nature.
She also has in her possession in name only the dog Hamhock who really belongs to Remmy.
Mika’s only hobbies are practicing magic and gambling. She’s not really sure what regular people do with free time.
