Fantasy NPC

Clover Brightfoot

Halfling Prostitute

“I don’t know what I’m going to do! I just need to get away. Get away and start a new life in a new city!”

Appearance: You can see a young halfling woman leaning out of a high window above the street. Her hazelnut hair spills in waves over her shoulder as she winks at a few of the people walking below and adjusts the top of her corset. She turns her green eyes to the sky and sighs before hearing something from inside her room. She stops smiling, quickly closes the window and draws the red silk curtains.

​

Personality: Clover Brightfoot does her best to be kind and think the best of people, but she’s not naïve. She knows that life is unforgiving and that holding onto hope can be a struggle. She feels deeply and often masks her sadness under a bright and lively façade. She dearly misses her simpler life on the farm.

​

Motivation: I don’t know how much longer I can keep doing this. He’s going to find out, and then I’m really going to be in trouble. I think he’s killed Ivy or had her killed, and he won’t hesitate to kill me too.

​

Roleplaying Tips: Clover can be naturally flirtatious and high-spirited, but for the past few months this has been an act. Discerning eyes will notice she’s never relaxed and barely able to hide her skittishness.

​

Background: Clover Brightfoot grew up on her family’s goat farm, always dreaming of a life of excitement in the big city. She was hesitant when her best friend Ivy suggested they steal some money and run away but she was eventually convinced. They were robbed the first day they arrived and it was Ivy’s idea to find work at The Black Candle brothel. The pair have been fixtures there ever since.

​

Traits: Attractive, Good, and Persuasive

​

Dark Secret: Clover knows how to prove that the brothel’s owner has been selling information about the criminal organization known as The Union to a rival rogue’s guild that has been setting up in the city.

Plot Hooks
  • Both Clover Brightfoot and Ivy Dewbarrow have overheard the owner of The Black Candle meeting with clandestine guests before, but this is something else. The brothel is part of The Union’s criminal empire and information about their activities are being sold to rivals. Now Ivy is missing, and Clover fears that she’s been murdered. She needs someone to help her escape the brothel and the city.

  • Clover Brightfoot has grown close to two city guards. Caston Agosta is a true friend and will help Clover if he can. Edwick Bailee is infatuated with her and will try and prevent her from running. She hasn’t told them about the brothel’s criminal activities, only that her procurer has threatened her life if she leaves.

  • Telling The Union the truth about The Black Candle might be Clover’s way out, but she’s afraid that they’ll kill her because of what she knows. If someone else, someone completely unconnected, could steal proof of the owner’s betrayal and sell it to The Union, no one would need to know her part in it.
