Physical Attributes

Appearance

Pip Thornberry stands slightly shorter than his wife at just under three feet tall, with a sturdy build that belies surprising agility. His round face is perpetually animated, with expressive eyebrows that dance above bright hazel eyes that twinkle with curiosity and mischief. Unlike many male halflings, he keeps his face clean-shaven, proudly displaying a small crescent-shaped scar on his chin from his trading caravan days.

His hair is a tousled mop of sandy blonde curls shot through with premature silver streaks, which he claims appeared overnight after a particularly tense negotiation with a dwarven mining guild representative.

Background

Pip hails from a family of wandering traders specializing in rare goods. Naturally quick-witted and charming, he possesses a gift for languages and negotiation. His family's caravan regularly traveled the Trade Way between Waterdeep, Neverwinter, and Luskan, giving him extensive exposure to diverse cultures and trading practices throughout the Sword Coast.
