Curieux de'Saint-Étienne
Kalthian | 40's | Female
Information
Not everyone in Tsushoro would be held in a positive light, there are still many that would be considered evil or instigators. Curieux might be that latter, but it is a reputation not warranted. Disliked and distrusted almost everywhere she goes, this Kalthain mostly keeps to herself. The irony is, even though most do not like her, they need her, for her expertise in witchcraft and monster hunting.
Likes and Dislikes
Alchemy, as there is a concoction for anything that ails her.
Short people always amuse her. She enjoys towering over people.
Zealots of Ixia, She's had too man bad encounters with them and is pretty much hostile on sight.

Traits and Skills

She specializes in bestiary, knowing the beasts of Tsushoro like the back of her own hand.
While not a refined, skilled fighter, she is a brawler, and she carries an Adaloterian hammer
Sometimes she sends too much time enjoying her own handy craft. Know for taking a few 'adventurous bends' with the right herbs
Lore
Curieux has lead a life few would wish to experience. From the high standards of growing up as a witch to being traded off from Caravan to Caravan for her rebellious nature, kindness was something she seldom experience. No one ever said Kalthain life was easy, but as the only ones in Enkinmar that possess any kind of magical potential, only a select few are capable of such. Those who are garner the label of Witch and are often leaders or advisors to the Caravans and thats what many of the leaders tried to do with Curieux, only to fail in the process. Despite many 'corrective' actions taking place, nothing worked. Something happened though, Curieux being left the only survivor of the caravan she was a part of. This allowed her to go Ronin, where she would eventually she would make it out on her own instead. Now she wanders all of Tsushoro, taking coin for herbs and monster hunting.
As a Kalthain, she has little in common with her people, while at the same time, reflecting their culture and ways. Seldomly settling down, Kalthan move from location to location, for both profit and survival. Many see them as theives or homeless bums and the Kalthians do little to defy it. Yet their imposing, tall nature and rugged society keeps most at bay. A Kalthain should never be taken lightly, as picking a fight with one means you will pick a fight will the rest of the Caravan.
