[color=6ecff6][b][h3][center]Irene Rendower[/center][/h3][/b][/color] Irene arrived at the Guild, intent on finding new work. She had been here for three years now, and still she did not have the funds to purchase something befitting the ideal of "beauty". The paltry room she was renting at a nearby inn was far too meager to satisfy her; she needed a stately manor overlooking the sea at the least. Beyond that, one day she hoped to have an enormous palace erected somewhere in Rhode, opulently decorated with the most extravagant furnishings known to man. She was sure she would achieve that beautiful ideal someday. For now, however, she would have to make do with oddjobs paying coppers and silvers. As luck would have it, there was a fresh set of jobs available upon her arrival. It was quite easy for her to make up her mind as to which one to volunteer for. The "Burrow Destruction" offered the greatest pay, and presented the greatest thrill. It was the most "beautiful" mission upon the board by far. Granted, the other missions may prove more challenging than they initially appeared, but Irene could count on the extermination of two whole burrows of those filthy goblins to provide plentiful entertainment. Not to mention her summary of those gathering for the missions as well. The recovery mission fell to Leonore, a woman of noble looks and countenance, but lacking in noble spirit. Her physical beauty could not compensate for her lack of spiritual amiability. Working with her willingly was out of the question. The other mission was headed by Noelle, with whom Irene had no quarrel, but no great desire to follow either. The mission she had chosen was assigned to Laurence. While Laurence looked like he could care less for it all, Irene had heard the man had a bigger heart than he let on. He was by far the most fitting leader to rally behind here. Her decision was only cemented as she eyed those that were volunteering. The medical delivery attracted the participation of Diana. While Irene bore her no ill will, she could not help but think that baldness was a most unattractive trait in a woman. Strangely, her blue hued skin was of much less bother. As for the recovery mission, of all the things to appear, an Orc strode in and declared his desire to join with the group associated with it. She had heard of these Orcs to belong to a savage culture, and was sure he would prove to be most "unbeautiful". Her mind was made up; the goblin extermination was the only choice for her. Approaching Laurence, Irene greeted him with a curtsy. [color=6ecff6]"Good sir Laurence, might I accompany you on your quest? I promise to be of the utmost assistance against the goblin hordes."[/color] Irene's thoughts were primarily on the rich reward to be had, though she did her best not to show it, and not showing her thoughts was one of her greatest talents. Indeed, she made a point never to communicate her true feelings to anyone when she thought they could be of offense. It was the only "beautiful" thing to do. [@SilverDawn]
