Grace Longmember

Name: Grace Longmember

Gender: Female

Race/Class: Human Commoner

Homeland: Raelbuck

Deity: Erastil

Class/House: Commoner

Relationship: Mother of Richard Longmember

Personality:
Grace Longmember is a fiery woman of short stature and feisty demeanor. She can generally be found on the back of her son, Richard Longmember's, cart, guiding the horses along tirelessly while keeping an eye on her offspring. Brave to the point of recklessness, she has never left behind a bandit, goblin, or toll gate without leaving an impression.

Introduction:
Grace Longmember took great care in ensuring that the heroes didn't suffer too much on the long road during their first journey to Tritown. However, when the goblins first began their ambush, Grace was the first casualty, taking a primitive arrow to the hip and necessitating first aid. She fought on fruitlessly from under her son's frame as the battle went on.

Social Life:
Since her husband's demise, Grace's only social circle are those who Richard deems worthy to travel with. She prides herself in cooking and caring for the parties that find their way onto her caravan, and has even become quite the selling point in Richard's favour when mercenaries looking to make some easy coin begin to scope out the advantages of having a motherly touch on journeys.

History:
Grace Longmember was the youngest daughter of Faust Longmember, a merchant from Kardavia. After her husband, an adventurer-turned-town-guard caught an illness due to an injury suffered in combat, she vowed that her lone child Richard would never engage in a violent life of adventuring. When Richard opted to become a traveling merchant, she thought it a fair compromise to the life she feared for her son.

However, after the passing of her husband due to complications with his illness, she began to follow her son's tracks, weary of the countless maidens arriving at her estate seeking Richard. Ashamed of her child's brutish behavior, she began to supervise him, not allowing him to continue his lechery.
