		<description>1.Kelesaria tries to attract as little notice as possible, being rather shy in public. Her quietness would probably be the most noticable thing actually.

2. Kel&#039;s voice is usually soft, unless she is angry or upset about something, then it gets harder &amp; rougher.

3. Kel doesnt really sing at all, unless its something short &amp; quiet to Sabre (her frostsaber) when they are out hunting in the wild together. She will not sing around other people at all (see part in #1 about being shy)

4. Spending as much time away from civilization as she does, she doesnt really have a noticable accent.

5.Kel really doesnt care for pubs, she thinks they are too noisy &amp; smelly, but if dragged into one she will sit in an inconspicuous place with some juice or tea &amp; mostly just listen to everyone else (being a hunter, she is a very good listener). Of course she would not enter at all if they didnt allow Sabre in with her.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m gonna answer for Norvallen, since she&#039;s who I&#039;m playing right now.

1. Recognizable Trait:
Probably a mix of coloring and carriage.  Anna, if you picture Aelflaed as that sort of earthy-yet-bright Celtic Woman, Mary Norvallen&#039;s a Nordic Valkyrie with all the warmth and kindness you&#039;d expect of someone who tends to spend a lot of time dispassionately filing the dead for their future use.

2. The Voice:
Distinct.  That&#039;s the best I can say.  Resonant, clear, tinged with self-assurance on good days, caustic arrogance on others, slightly lilting, Enunciates Perfectly Every Syllable of Every Word.

3. Singing:
Yes.  Though really not the sort you&#039;d expect.  She&#039;s got a good ear for rustic folk-ballads.  Incidentally, plays the autoharp (of all instruments).

4.  Accent?
None.  She&#039;s another Northerner by birth(who as per our canon, are everything from Queen&#039;s-English to nigh-incomprehensible Scottish/Irish/Geordie, but an upbringing in the high society in Dalaran rubbed that away pretty fast.  If there&#039;s an accent, it&#039;s American.

5. In the Pub:
Either in the conversational circle with the Cool Kids, more or less directing the &quot;flow&quot; of any topic, or sitting quietly, looking for an opening, likely examining her nails or something really stereotypical like that, because she&#039;s actually pretty awkward if she isn&#039;t the &quot;host&quot;.  Fails at Passive.</description>

		<description>1.  Rollandren would not have very many features that would make him stand out, besides being a bit taller than normal; in fact, he makes a certain effort to be nondescript.  His beard may be somewhat shaggy if he&#039;s been off fighting for weeks on end and without the time to trim it.  His weapons and armor are the biggest eye opener, as he goes seemingly everywhere in armor of some kind; if he is trying to not attract attention, he does have a less conspicuous suit of chainmail.  His two main weapons are a greatsword with a brilliantly silvered hilt, and a Vrykul cleaver.

2.  His voice is roughly baritone, with a fairly strong timbre to it.  It is lower than the voice in-game for human men.

3.  On occasion, he does sing, but he very rarely does so around even his own friends, and never in public.

4.  He has something of an Arathi Highlands accent, which I&#039;ve always imagined as being somewhere between Scottish or Irish.  He tends to emphasize vowels a little in his speech, especially A&#039;s, I&#039;s and E&#039;s.

5.  He&#039;d likely be in his chainmail, hooded and cloaked, sitting somewhere in a back corner of the tavern, listening and watching, maybe sipping from a flagon of mead or on rare occasions smoking a pipe with lighter herbs; his lungs cannot take the heavier ones very well.  Most likely he would simply people-watch instead of attempting to play an active role.</description>

		<description>1.  Ogerin&#039;s most notable feature would probably be his bright yellow boots compared to the rest of his blood-red armor. Looks odd on a human as is.
2.  Ogerin&#039;s voice is pretty deep when being compared to humans, and it sounds like he has something in his throat that he just can&#039;t get out.
3.  He&#039;s never tried to sing, and would be pretty confused if people just started to randomly burst into song.
4.  He has no noticeable accent beyond his deep, scratchy voice.
5.  If Ogerin were to be at a tavern/inn/pub, he would most likely be one of those guys who always sits in the corner and stares at people, gathering as much information as he and trying to entertain himself by watching all the goings-on.</description>
