Name: Rauha Lehtonen
Gender: Female
Birthday: Winter 18
Age: 21

Appearance:
Rauha stands at around 5'7" and has a rather slim build; despite her slight lack of 'feminine assets', she's still quite attractive to some. She has long purple hair that's a slightly darker shade than her eyes. Of course this isn't her natural hair colour, but she likes to keep it that way. She often wears a thin green scarf, and a grey beanie. However she doesn't wear the beanie in Summer. Her outfits are quite simple, often sporting a pair of navy blue skinny jeans, black canvas shoes, and a dark gray shirt (Sleeve length depends on weather.) During colder seasons, she often wears a black hoodie. She often wears a pair of black thick rimmed glasses when she's reading.

Occupation:
Librarian

Personality:
True to her occupation, Rauha is seen as a rather quiet person, but she is better described as an 'Ambivert'. She's a very diligent worker and tries her best to do whatever she's trying to do. Do not mistaken her mild-mannered nature as prudish; surprisingly she's quite a 'gutter-minded' girl who has possibly read too many romance (And sometimes suggestively erotic) novels throughout her years in the library. This often leads her to take things the wrong way or to giggle to herself as she randomly sexualises whatever someone just said. She often comes off as quite cheerful and warm most of the time when engaging in conversation. Rauha is quite a neat freak and has taken to enforcing a 'No shoes' rule in the Library.

Likes:

• Books of any kind
• Seashells
• Classical, lo-fi hiphop, and Jazz music
• Semi-precious stones, especially Amethyst
• Dirty jokes (But she tries not to show it)
• Rainy days

Dislikes:

• Metal music
• Alcohol
• Pushy people
• Book burners
• Literally getting dirty
• Literally dirty people

History:
Born as the successor to the family business, Rauha has spent most of her life in the Willow's Athenaeum which had been built by her Great-Grandfather. The Athenaeum (Or simply "The Library") is quite an old place, it's very well kept, thanks to her family's dedication to the literature. Although she did have a few friends from her childhood, they had since left the village when they were old enough to go elsewhere. Much like the rest of her family, Rauha's love for books outweighed almost everything so she never really had a reason to leave. Not that she could if she wanted to, since leaving the Library meant there was nobody left to take care of it.

A series of unfortunate events had torn her family apart. Her mother was taken by illness and her father was taken by the grief that followed. Of course, Rauha was also grief-stricken, but her resolve to carry on her family's legacy was much stronger. From the young age of 15, she was the sole resident and caretaker of the Willow's Athenaeum.

Gender: Female

Age: 24

Appearance:y
She has medium length black hair, large round brown eyes, a smirk that seems to be stained on her face. Her skin is pale for someone who spends most of their time outside. She usually is wearing darker colors to hide the dirt on them that she accumulates throughout the day.

Birthday: Autumn, the 13th

Occupation: Florist/Botanist.  She took after her father, and helps him run the shop where they sell seeds to the farmer's of the town.

Personality:
Reserved, and typically keeps to herself. Though if you're a friend of her's, she has quiet the quirky attitude. She is known for her dripping sarcasm, and witty responses. Emma is helpful, and knowledgeable about any plant - so if you have any questions, come see her.

Likes:
Roasted Vegetables, any fish dish, the moon, flowers, fresh sweets, animals, hot chocolate, walks, horses, listening to music, visiting the beach after work, going swimming, receiving wild flowers from the surrounding areas, home-cooked meals, star gazing in the hills, nature.

Dislikes:
Beef dishes, spicy foods, sleeping in, television, overly hot weather, when people don't take care of the flowers she gives them, cocky men, plain ignorance.

History: Emma was born & raised in Willow's Valley, her mother passed away after childbirth - and she was raised solely by her father. He was a botanist, and opened a Floral shop with Emma's mother - she worked the inside, and sold flower arrangements, and seeds. While her father tended to the gardens, and supplied the shop. Emma would work the gardens with her father when younger and absorbed everything her father taught her like a sponge. Emma loved to watch the flowers grow day by day, seeing what all the love and care she was pouring into them was doing to them. Around 10 years old, Emma was helping run the shop with her father - mainly selling flowers, and seeds for him. She still now works at the shop, and manages the inside by herself while her father still tends to the gardens. They live above their shop, with the gardens located out back behind it.

Name: Connor Curry

Gender: Male

Age: 27

Appearance:


Birthday: Winter 5

Occupation: Carpenter

Personality: Connor has a strong work ethic, he gets up at 4 AM every morning, goes for a run and by 6 AM his shop is open and it doesn’t close until sundown. He’s a man of few words until you get to know him. He’s wary of strangers as he’s always lived in the village, inheriting his grandfather’s carpentry business.

Likes:

• The color blue
• Food: steak, potatoes, pasta, meatloaf, burgers, ice cream (vanilla), chocolate (white and milk), fruit.
• Movies, he’s a bit of a film buff.
• Music – all kinds, he plays guitar and sings but only for friends.

• Government interference with his way of life
• Injustice of any kind
• Vegetables

History:
Connor has a younger sister, Caroline, who moved away from the village but she occasionally comes to visit. All of the other Curry’s have passed away so it’s just him and his sister now. He’s a quiet man, slow to trust others but a fierce friend once you get past his icy exterior. Aside from being a carpenter he is a general fix it type man and always willing to give a lending hand when he can. He was engaged once but she left him when she realized he had no intention of leaving the village.

Name: Craig Vossen

Gender: Male

Age: 25

Appearance:


Birthday: Spring 10th

Occupation: Shopkeeper

Personality: Craig is very upbeat and motivated, the kind of person that not only wants to get to work every day but wants to work well. He always has confidence in whatever he does, believing that if he had just one good soldier, he could probably go on to conquer the world if he put his mind to it. Of course, Craig’s real plan to conquer the world is by doing business; he has a driving ambition to make a name for himself by pulling off a true work of commercial genius. It’s not enough for him to simply make a profit or live comfortably, he has to do something that puts his name out there and has people talking the world over.

On a personal level, Craig is often a perfectly friendly guy, perhaps to the point of too friendly. Even with a stranger, he’s keen to talk their ear off with ideas he has and general talk about his plans. While he can come off a little self-absorbed, he is often keen to learn what he can from others, especially if it’s something that will give him an idea on how to further his own goals. It’s hard to get on his bad side, unless you happen to be his employee and he feels you’re not giving him your best. He has an expectation from anyone that works for him, even if they’re just informally helping him with a task, that they will put their best effort into it and get it done timely and well. He can be mildly forgiving if they tried their best and failed, but if he thinks they’re not taking his tasks seriously, he won’t be happy.

He also has a mild smoking habit he picked up as a young man. He doesn’t exactly enjoy it, but he has yet to manage to stop.

Likes:
-Getting a job done
-Expensive gifts
-Showing off
-Getting a good idea
-Making it rain

Dislikes:
-Failing to deliver
-Ignorance
-Laziness
-Lowbrow humour

History: Craig was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, wanting for nothing in his youth. His father Lawrence was a successful businessman himself, and Craig was expected to follow in his footsteps. Craig himself dreamed of making a name for himself in the business world, and so he took to the lifestyle with gusto; he achieved stellar grades through both high school and college, and even in the midst of his education was already laying the foundation for his own business ventures. With some help from his father a small loan of one million dollars and others, he eventually set up his own stock trading venture and made a tidy profit.

But this wasn’t enough for Craig. He came to realise he had not only had a great deal of help in getting where he was, but his accomplishment was not nearly as impressive as he had hoped; plenty of people had done the same thing, some had made more money and some had even succeeded at a younger age than him. He had done nothing that would truly put his name in the history books. Unsatisfied with this, Craig searched for something unique to do that would help him meet his ambitions. By chance, he noticed an advert that spoke of a shop being sold in a small village named Willow’s Valley. He was sure that if he could turn a shop in the middle of nowhere into a successful business, that might just put his name out there. Enamoured with the idea, he sold up whatever he had in his old life and headed out to Willow’s Valley, though he planned to use as little money from his personal funds as possible.

Name: Whiskey

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Appearance:

Birthday: 21st Spring

Occupation: Villager/Shop Assistant

Personality: Whiskey has a temper that defines herself, she would resort to violence if someone got her unnerved. She doesn't trust people much, sometimes overanalysing people as if they have a motive. Since her mom's divorce, she wasn't really good at facing reality, often making bad choices due to that. She likes reading shoujo manga, and thus she would sometimes make a big fuss over relationship issues. She is a perv who thinks that most boys would like her, and she is kinda love-blind and would easily change just for her partner.

However, if one knows her better, one could tell that she lost her sense of self & that she wasn't acting naturally. Her upbringing, especially with that year with her ex, made her defining traits, which is her anger, violence & confidence, suppressed like a mask. She is nice & friendly overall. Deep in her heart, she have a strong spirit, and wouldn't falter in her misfortunes (That's only if she stops looking down on herself) . She has a soft spot for her pet bird. She is committed to her work & is often punctual.

Likes: Birds, spicy food, Potato, girls' present

Dislikes: Cats, Winter

History: Whiskey was born in another town, but doesn't have much impression about her childhood, her mother had her at 15, and her mom's boyfriend ditched her, the only thing Whiskey remembers is that she had been moving from houses to houses for the first 5 years of her life. Her life got stable after her mom settled down and found a good job, and a decent husband. That's until they divorced after 9 years of marriage. Fed up, she ran away from home along with her boyfriend, which she would break up with after a year. Too guilty of abandoning her mother back then, she left the town for Willow's Valley, paying rent there and hoping to start afresh & live with her own pride rather than to freeload on her ex.

Name: Fabron Smith

Gender: Male

Age: 28

Appearance:



Birthday: Summer 17

Occupation: Blacksmith

Personality:

It requires patience to forge metal. The process is complex and exercises precision from the very start to end. Fabron's life-long career as a blacksmith has forged him to be a patient and detailed man with exceptional multi-tasking skills. His line of work makes him eager to get hands-on experience with new things he encounters in life-- though always preferring the heat of the forge and the handle of a hammer if given the chance.

Likes:

• Forging and Fabricating; his primary line of work depending on the client's needs and wants.
• Food: Egg, Beef, Chicken, Buck-Choy, Corn, Mushrooms, Broccoli, Milk, Cherries, Dates
• Ores and Minerals; especially Titanium
• Beaches
• Fishing; similar to forging, it takes patience to master the art of fishing. He is no stranger to the waves of the river and sea.

Dislikes:

• Winter: The season where the Forge gets a little bothersome. The Winter may keep the temperature of the forge down, but it doesn't help him work when furnaces fail to turn on and the metal cools down quickly

History:

Fabron's a local of Willow Valley. His dad is a blacksmith, as is his father before him, and the one before him too. He learned the trade as young as the age of 14, crafting many beginner-level knives and tools which he keeps as keepsakes of the past where he once humbly begun his journey as a blacksmith and a memento of his father-- who now works in a distant town far away from Willow Valley. Fabron now takes care of the forge independently, providing services for citizens of Willow Valley.
