The Broken Spine

Founder:

  Reese Evra is a book lover. Her unkempt and dandruff ridden hair alludes to the little care she has for social appearances. She is unlikely to look away from what she is reading, but is happy to assist you in finding a book of your choice. If you have a book to sell her, she will bend over backwards to accommodate you; especially if that book encompasses political drama or the popular conspiracy theories of Wonder. It is hard to miss her tall half-orc body, but harder still to miss the scent of the old dusty books that littler her shop.  

Shop Appearance

  The Broken Spine is ultimately operated out of a large bookshelf, which Reese carries on her back when she is moving from one location to another. When it comes time to sell, she puts the shelf down and hopes that customers stop by. She may set up a canvas tent to protect herself and her goods from the elements, but more often then not, she usually just sets up the bookshelf and a chair.
