Peeper

An unknottable bundle of anxiety, Peeper is a nonbinary aberration, a floating eye monster, and one of Humperdink’s first familiars. With an eye for detail and an eagerness to please, Peeper has elected to take on all the bureaucracy and bookkeeping of the tavern, much to everyone’s relief. Peeper cares for their friends to a profound degree and would be devastated if any of them should express disappointment at their actions.

Interpersonal Relations. You can use the following information to develop Peeper’s interpersonal relations in the tavern:
Granny Weathertax is really in charge, in Peeper’s opinion. They report any hint of wrongdoing to her. Heliana is the bestest, strongest, fastest, and smartest, even if she sucks at sums, and needs Peeper and Amber to look after her blood sugar. Humperdink is probably some sort of god, Peeper has decided. He can make more Peepers, and his paperwork is a scribbled mess. Gods probably have messy paperwork, Peeper thinks. L’Arsène is quite annoying and always tries to jump on Peeper’s back. On the flip side, his accounts are the best of the lot! Lutecia let Peeper look at the books and for that Peeper is eternally grateful. She’s also so good at talking to people; Peeper could never do that… Tavern Tales: Shadow Editor
While Heliana slept, Peeper would sift through the latest pages of her book, editing, proofing, and re-writing them. Heliana was always very impressed with herself when she reviewed her work each morning, and Peeper didn’t have the heart to say otherwise!

Characteristics

Mental traits

Motives & Values. Peeper takes pride in the ordinary: running the tavern at a stable profit and ensuring enough profit is set aside to provide generous retirement funds to each of the tenants. Of course, they don’t let the tenants know they have retirement funds, that would be far too risky. Peeper’s biggest fear is Heliana ever getting anywhere near the accounts: last time she tried her hand at bookkeeping, she used a squid as a makeshift quill. There was ink everywhere.
Secret. Peeper is actually a voracious painter in their spare time. They have portraits of each creature that has entered the tavern stashed under the floorboards of their library. Their five eyes give them a unique advantage with perspective, and their work is pretty darn good!
