Lettie
Arlette Gates (a.k.a. Lettie)
Lettie is Mandy's younger twin sister; they introduced me not long after Tord set me up with them and Ruger. I needed something special for my armour; standard leathers are not made for folks with spinal ridges and tails, especially not ridges as delicate as mine. So Mandy put me in touch with Lettie, and she was excessively keen to make something special for me. I always try to pay her a visit while I'm in Osthaven, as she's the only person who really understands how to construct armour around my needs. Most places tend to fall back into standardised designs, but not Lettie. She's brilliant.
She's also incredibly skilled at general textiles. She makes a lot of her own and Mandy's clothes, and I'm told that, back in the days of Mandy flouncing around infiltrating fancy balls, she knew precisely how to dress them up nicely. It seems the two of them together are devastating fashionistas. She made my waist cincher as well, it has special padding in the back to protect the ridges of my lower spine from excessive pressure.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Lettie is a little shorter than Mandy, but is still considered tall for a Star Elf. She's still graceful, despite the labour involved in her work, but seems less so than Mandy, who actively flaunts their natural Feyness!
Facial Features
Like Mandy, Lettie has very distinctive violet eyes, a shimmering blue natural highlight across their cheekbones, and silvery freckles scattered across their nose and cheeks. Their face has a typical, angular Elven structure, though slightly softer than Mandy's, and their ears are long and pointed.
Identifying Characteristics
Lettie has beautiful, vibrant red hair that naturally falls into messy curls.
Apparel & Accessories
She's almost always wearing her work clothes. I've only once seen her in a day dress.
Specialized Equipment
Lettie always has a notebook/sketchpad with her. She says it's good to have it around in case she has a spark of inspiration.
Mental characteristics
Employment
Lettie works as a leatherworker in the Watchtower District of Osthaven. She was previously the leatherworker for the DG.
Mental Trauma
Mandy and Lettie were both abused by their Father, up until Mandy killed him when the twins were in their twenties. Their Mother cast them out of the Family, but this was mostly out of shame for not being able to protect the two of them, and she felt they would be better on their own, away from her.
Personality Characteristics
Vices & Personality flaws
Lettie has a terrible habit of becoming so engrossed in their work that they forget to eat, Trance, and all those things that people need to do to live. She'll only partially hear what people are saying, and if you wave something in front of her face and say it's food she'll just eat it without looking!
Social
Family Ties
Lettie is Mandy's younger twin sister. She adores her sibling very much, and they would move heaven and earth to protect each other. It's really rather sweet...
Hobbies & Pets
Lettie likes to design ballgowns, though I'm not sure she's ever actually had need to make one...
Speech
Lettie has a very sweet voice, and she always sounds incredibly innocent and adorable. She won't swear except in Elvish, which is quite amusing.
