Ianpip Urina Lilly Sakasys Verin (a.k.a. Pip)
Known to her friends as Pip, Ianpip Urina Lilly Sakasys Verin is a gnome from under the Collyner Mountains. For much of her youth, she served as a tutor for the Adderleys, a rich human family who own much of the town of Yarn, passing on her knowledge and natural curiosity to two generations. While she was undoubtedly successful and well-loved, ultimately her thirst for knowledge led her to a pact with The Seeker and an ongoing quest for lore, wherever it may be found.

Apparel & Accessories
Pip found the Gnomish Cloak of Shadows in a kobold's camp after an unsuccessful attempt to ambush her. The secrets of the gnomes' looms imbue the cloak with magical properties of sneakiness, while also being sturdy enough to be protective.
Relationships
Commonalities & Shared Interests
Both are driven to understand the world around them. They like to engage in deep, speculative discussions, full of tangents and half-thought-through ideas.
Pip joined the Malmeck School for Adventurers in Livey a full two and a half weeks after the start of the semester due to the death and funeral of her former pupil and patron, Niall Adderley. She spent some of this time at Yarn with Pente Adderley, niece of Niall (and another former pupil) and Anna Mirfast. Previous to this, she had wandered a while in the Collyner Mountains after resigning her post as the Adderley family tutor after 40 years in their employ.
She hit it off with Joom Jim, Borf the Bombastic and Mochache the Ranger as their lunch table was the only one with space at it. Unfortunately, this was her downfall, as her attempts to get them through their exams meant that she started studying their subjects rather than her own. In the end, she failed to graduate mainly because she had no idea when her Warlockry exams were taking place.
She was very nearly slain by a group of goblins wearing cool t-shirts on leaving the college with her refund cheque, which was subsequently stolen. Healed by Holy Tan Peart, she met up with her friends and took up the training quest to rescue Neramew the Cat Princess.
On rescuing Neramew, Pip reluctantly visited the Temple of Dendrah and agreed, with her friends, to investigate reports of logging in The Wilds. The loggers, it turns out, were merely coppicers, and on returning to them, she found that they were dead, murdered by human rangers. She threw rocks at the rangers, who she recognised from Malmeck's School for Adventurers. On resuming their journey, she met a group of hill ponies, who told her something of their culture and memories.
Eventually, she came across a magic circle in the forest and saw a vision of a maiden, mother and crone, and heard the voice of the Mother of Dragons, Io. She investigated a flat stone that seemed to have holes made to hold chains. Returning with her friends to Livey, she was paid for her work and went to The Paraffin Lamp.
