Merrit Fallowwick
Wizard
Merrit Fallowwick
Species
Halfling
Appearance
Merrit is a compact halfling with a scholar's stoop and the restless energy of a sparrow that has learned too much about fire. His hands are ink-stained, his sleeves are always a little too long, and the cuffs have been singed into uneven lace. He moves with quick, careful steps except when excited, when he practically bounces. The most surprising thing about him is that he carries himself with the solemn dignity of a cathedral priest while wearing a satchel covered in mismatched buttons, ribbon scraps, and wax drippings from failed experiments.
“Measured and bookish, with sudden bursts of poetic enthusiasm. He speaks as though every sentence must earn its place, but when excited he starts explaining in spirals, then blushes and tries again more clearly.”

Distinguishing Features
A crescent-shaped burn scar on the inside of his left wrist from an early cantrip mishap
One gold eye and one hazel eye, giving him a distracted but piercing stare
Tiny scorch marks along the hems of his sleeves
A narrow brass charm in the shape of a lantern that always stays warm
A faint glittering dust in his hair that appears after spellcasting
Voice
“Soft, precise, and a little breathless, as if he is always midway through either an apology or a discovery”
Clothing
A short indigo apprentice coat with inner pockets sewn for chalk, feathers, spell components, and emergency biscuits, worn over practical brown trousers and soft boots. He always has one piece of clothing that is oddly elegant, usually a carefully mended scarf or a polished brass button that belonged to a better outfit.
Body Language
He tilts his head like he is listening to a distant bell, keeps his elbows tucked in when uncertain, and straightens with surprising formality whenever he wants to seem older than he is. When hiding nerves, he smooths his mustache or the bridge of his nose, even when he has no mustache to smooth.
