Garrick “Garry” Moorvale
Hobbit Assistant Housekeeper and Night Supervisor of Dwarrowdwelf
Garrick Moorvale, known fondly as “Garry” among the household staff, is a small but lively hobbit in his early forties. Standing just over three feet tall, he carries himself with a lightness and energy that belies the demanding nature of his work. His curly dark hair frames a round, cheerful face marked by rosy cheeks and a perpetual twinkle in his bright green eyes. His smile is quick and genuine, often easing tensions during the long, quiet nights when he patrols the corridors of the stronghold.
Garrick’s nimble fingers and sharp eyes make him exceptionally skilled at detailed cleaning, organizing, and maintaining order during the night hours when most of the household is asleep. He has a knack for spotting minor issues before they grow into bigger problems—loose floorboards, a stubborn lock, or an overlooked spill. His quick thinking and attention to detail are invaluable, especially in a place as large and complex as Dwarrowdwelf.
His attire is simple yet practical: soft leather boots that allow him to move silently, comfortable trousers, and a tunic with many pockets filled with cleaning cloths, small tools, and sometimes a sweet treat or two. Garrick is also known for his quick wit and warm humor, often trading jokes or light-hearted stories with the younger servants and even the occasional noble who wanders the halls late at night.
Personality and Traits Garry is cheerful, quick-minded, and endlessly curious. He enjoys the peaceful solitude of his night rounds but thrives on the subtle challenges they bring. His small size makes him excellent at slipping unnoticed through narrow spaces, and he’s adept at navigating the winding tunnels and passages beneath the stronghold. Despite his lighthearted nature, he takes his responsibilities seriously and can be surprisingly stern when it comes to maintaining order.
He is a natural problem solver, often improvising creative solutions to unexpected challenges—whether it’s jury-rigging a broken latch or calming a frightened pet found wandering in the halls. Garrick’s easy charm and genuine kindness have made him a beloved figure among the household staff, who appreciate both his competence and his ability to lift spirits during long shifts.
Backstory Garrick grew up in a peaceful hobbit village far from the bustling world of strongholds and noble houses. His family was known for their cheerful hospitality and knack for keeping the local inn running smoothly. From a young age, Garrick showed an affinity for tidiness and an inquisitive mind, often helping his parents manage the inn’s many tasks and guests.
Drawn by a sense of adventure and a desire to test his skills beyond his village, Garrick left home and found work in various noble estates, quickly making a name for himself as a reliable and resourceful housekeeper. Eventually, his travels brought him to Dwarrowdwelf, where his unique talents and friendly demeanor quickly earned him a permanent place on the staff.
Relationship with Others Garrick maintains a warm and playful rapport with Tobin Hearthclean, whose steady presence and hearty laughter ground Garrick’s lighter nature. With Hedda Stonebroom, Garrick is respectful and appreciative of her leadership, though he sometimes teases her gently to coax a rare smile. Among the younger servants, he is a mentor and confidante, always ready with advice or a listening ear.
