Mina Vellwicket
Commoner with gravekeeper training
Mina Vellwicket
Species
Gnome
Appearance
Mina is a small, wiry gnome with the stillness of a perched bird and the careful movements of someone who has spent years not waking the dead. Her hands are knotted and peat-stained, and her nails are always rimmed with black soil that never seems to wash away completely. She wears a patched funeral coat that looks too formal at first glance, then reveals mended elbows, dried mud, and a row of tiny brass buttons shaped like flowers. The most surprising thing about her is the bright ribbon tied in her hair, a cheerful sun-yellow strip that clashes with the graveyard gloom and makes her look like a celebration walking through a cemetery.
“Mina does not speak aloud often. When she must, her voice is soft, airy, and slightly rough from disuse, with each word placed carefully as if it might disturb something resting nearby.”

Distinguishing Features
A crescent-shaped scar across one knuckle from a coffin nail.
Tiny silver bells sewn into her hem that do not ring unless undead are near.
A yellow ribbon in her hair that she replaces every spring.
One ear pierced with a ring made from polished grave bone, a family heirloom she claims is fake but never removes.
Voice
“A quiet, breathy contralto that rarely rises above a murmur, with the habit of pausing before every answer as if listening to the room first.”
Clothing
A charcoal work-dress under a weatherproof gravekeeper's coat, wool leggings tucked into mud-caked boots, fingerless gloves, and a sash full of twine, chalk, and tiny tools. Around her neck hangs a copper token stamped with a casket lid.
Body Language
She communicates in quick, precise gestures, with a habit of holding one hand over her chest when listening closely. When uneasy, she folds her shovel close like a staff and keeps her weight on the balls of her feet, ready to move without noise.
