Amya
By: MoonHunter

Oh her? She is that girl. She is Jessius’s girl.

Appearance
Human/ Female/ 19
Amya is different than most of the people around here. Her hair is long, wavy, a light amber color with sun kissed highlights. Her eyes are large and dark, dark brown. Her skin is almost too fair, so she is always wearing a huge hat. She has the same hooked nose that her family has, though on her it looks cute rather than hawklike.

History/Background
Her family came this was as refugees. They were running away from the great troubles in their homeland.  The Miller here took them in, given that her father was a miller. Her father took over when the Old Man died.

The locals, like most small town people, who like knowing “whos people” a given person is, did not like the New Miller with his strange accent and ways.

The local girls had taken to teasing Amya for her odd accent, strange name, and odd (for the local area) words. Even Jessius befriending her, and occasionally defending her and her brother from the taunts and torments of others, only blunted what other children did to her. (The local good looking girl found her a threat to her own power and her own designs on Jessius, so she used her popularity as a weapon against her).

Still life went on. Things got a little better. Childish things went away. The snubs and issues fell mostly to the wayside as life continued. She was still isolated from most of her peers because she was different, but they somewhat accepted her over time.

Then, the impossible happened. Jessius said he loved her. Those three words washed away years of bitterness and loneliness.

Special Equipment
None.

Roleplaying Notes
Its pronounced Ah mai ya, not the correct pronunciation amy-ah. She is constantly correcting people around here (most of which are doing it on purpose).

She is defensive. Most people do not like her and her “outsider” family.

She will be guardedly friendly towards any strangers. If the locals show dislike towards you (and you are not OBVIOUSLY EVIL or DANGEROUS), she will treat you like a close friend.

She loves Jessius more than life itself. She even thinks Jefficus is funny and likes him like a brother. 

Her history is fairly fluid, if you change Jessius’s situation, you should adapt hers to fit.

You must read Jessius and Jefficus post to fully understand this situation.

Graymilken Mill By: MoonHunter
Locations » Establishment » Water

This is your traditional water wheel mill.  It is a large grey painted building, next to a river. It has a history though that most people do not know.

Jefficus? Oh yes, Jessius’s friend.

Jessius By: MoonHunter
NPCs » Minor » Political

A charismatic young man, a local community leader, a tragedy waiting to happen.

Graymilken mill came to mind when I wrote her. It does not have to be that mill, but it is an interesting idea.

I like this one, even seperate from the rest of the set. Together, it makes for an interesting dynamic for the group.

It is your fault. You made the Songs Of Fantasy! By: Murometz Codex.

The girl is never named in the song. But yes, she is from that song, with massaging for the fantasy aspects.

Cute threesome, even cuter inference to the song. Worth incorporating just to see whether PCs pick up on the pun.

It has been my experience that most players miss it, until the third or so time they encounter them (OR after some time away from the game). Then they go, d'Oh! That is, unless you are known for throwing references or using "character actors" as NPCs (See Mirror Characters Article). Then they hunt them down.

Small. Functional. Usable. A little on the cliche side with the woe is me. Would prefer it be subsumed into a single submission about the three since there is no point in putting one in the game without the other two.

How could anyone not pick up on that pun?

An alchemist enchanted his equipment to produce even more powerful alchemical compounds, potions and the like. Unfortunately, it is not well-known that he had different sets of equipment for different processes: If the wrong set of gear is used, the result will invariably fail to function. It's not a cursed item, just something that's hard to figure out.
