[@Denny] Welp, here are two. I [i]might[/i] uh, decide to make grumpy librarian a second character. I have grown a bit attached to her. this is one reason, I should not make NPCs. Also if I keep at it they'll probably all be female. Which is probably not a good diea.

Runs a library, albeit somewhat begrudgingly. Pays the bills, that's all she's really in it for. [color=f7976a][b][h2]Physical Info[/h2][/b][/color] [color=f7976a][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] Short cut black hair with dull blue eyes, generally narrowed in some sort of glare and frown. She has a fairly pale complexion and a well built frame. Typically, she doesn't seem to care much about her overall appearance. Or at least, she doesn't care at all if someone has something to say about it. [color=f7976a][b]Attire/Style:[/b][/color] She is a fan of tank tops, shorts, spending all days in doors or at the bar drinking when not working. When working, she begrudgingly wears something at least somewhat respectable. A plain, short sleeved shirt under a jacket and blue jeans, with boots on her feet. Overall, she definitely wouldn't come across as the bookish or librarian type - because she really isn't. [color=f7976a][b][h2]Mental Info[/h2][/b][/color] [color=f7976a][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Grumpy? Prickly? Adorably stubborn sometimes? Any way you cut it, Hailie isn't exactly the nicest of people out there. With a face seemingly permanently stuck in a glare, and a sarcastic wise-ass attitude, she's not one of the popular people in the valley. Of course, she's not by any means mean or confrontational, but you can always expect her to have something to say about a situation. This, stems from both her frustration with her current position in life and a rather defeatist attitude regarding everything. She tends to keep to herself most of the time or stay in the small home above the library. At night she can usually be found at the bar. If there is one way to get on her good side though, is good food and high quality cooking ingredients. She comments that once she wanted to be a chef, but for whatever reason ended up deciding not too. [color=f7976a][b]Likes:[/b][/color] Cooking - She's surprisingly talented Alcohol Fresh Vegetables Good Food People who enjoy good food [color=f7976a][b]Dislikes:[/b][/color] People Fish cold water Winter - it's faaaaar too cold. [color=f7976a][b]History:[/b][/color] Once upon a time, Hailie was a bright young student straight out of high school, going into straight into a world class culinary academy. She spent her entire high school years building her skills and reputation around that entire career path. She loved cooking, she liked eating good food, and she liked people eating said good food. She was one of the best in her class, and she was straight on a path to becoming world class chef. All she had to do was enter one little competition, and win and she'd become a chef at a famous, incredibly wealthy and world renowned restaurant in the big city. Perhaps, some dreams aren't meant to come true though. She lost, and not long after she learned that the results had been rigged. The rich kid who won bribed the judge. Deciding to quit altogether, she spent the next three years skipping from job to job until she had a rather odd dream about some place named hope valley. She mentioned it to her parents, and they offhandedly mentioned her grand parents used to have an old library there that was still in the family, they had just never really used it. Well, maybe some time out in the country would do her some good. After fixing up the place a little she lives and works there, albeit not very enthusiastically.

She makes all her own clothes, as well as clothing for everyone else. Additionally, anything that requires extensive sewing could easily be made by her. [color=bc8dbf][b][h2]Physical Info[/h2][/b][/color] [color=bc8dbf][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] A tall, five foot eight, Celia seems to exude an aura of refinement. She is the definition of attractive and knows it. Unfortuantely for you lot, she's taken so don't get any ideas. She has long black hair falling to about the middle of her back, and takes obvious care of her appearance. [color=bc8dbf][b]Attire/Style:[/b][/color] Fancy dresses, or anything that is in style! She'll wear anything if she thinks it looks good on her. While she does like the fancier things, she has been known to wear some alternative fashion every now and then when she was younger. [color=bc8dbf][b][h2]Mental Info[/h2][/b][/color] [color=bc8dbf][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Friendly, talkative, and likes fancy tea parties and making friends [s]mooching off of people[/s]. She's exactly what one might expect from a high class socialite who spent most of her time schmoozing rich people [s]out of their money[/s]. She has an incredible eye for detail, and can be absolutely ruthless when it comes to business and making sure she gets a good deal. She sees something she wants, or gets an idea in her head that something can make her a ton of money, she will not stop until she's broke or until she's filthy stinkin' rich(er than she already is) She's a bit of a smooth talker, and can easily use words to get what she wants if she needs too. [color=bc8dbf][b]Likes:[/b][/color] -Clothes -Shoes -Money -More money -Wine [color=bc8dbf][b]Dislikes:[/b][/color] -Not having money -Stingy people -Spring. Ugh, spring fashion - so boring -Milk items [color=bc8dbf][b]History:[/b][/color] Growing up, Celia always was a little talker. Always able to talk her way out of being in trouble either by giving someone big baby doll eyes, placing the blame on someone else, or skedaddling from the scene of the crime with surprising swiftness. The fashionista was always coming up with some sort of scheme to get rich quick right after the other - for most people such schemes often fell flat. But well, if you were in the right place, the right time, knew what to look for and with a little bit of luck, getting rich was extremely easy. Of course, she had a back up plan in sewing and making clothes, which she is objectively extremely skilled at and now that she's an old woman, its her main source of income. After getting married, she decided to try and set up her own clothing store somewhere, and after a series of odd dreams she decided to set up shop quite a bit away from home in Hope Valley. By herself. She left her spouse back in the city because it'd be cheaper. [/center] [/hider]
