Many kids

Born in Hearthfire, as was her mother before her, Jeanne Gnarls has spent her entire life in the the town, apart from a couple of years in her early twenties. She is a well known figure around the town and knows pretty much everything that is going on in town. This is due to her large network of children and grandchildren that live in the town.   She left Hearthfire in her early twenties with her then betrothed to start a new life in the city, however heartbreak ensued and she was back home a couple of years later, alone. Having been taught book keeping by her mother, who ran the local general store together with her father, she took that up as a living. keeping the books for several small businesses within town. After several years she met krenin and after a lengthy courtship, she wasn't taking any chances this time, the two wed, and have been happy together ever since. They both wanted a big family, and a big family is what they got, having twelve children in the end. Though only five still live in the town full time.   She still has an amazing amount of energy for a person in her seventies, as her numerous grandkids and great grandkids have learned. A prodigious gossip, she can still keep a secret if someone confides in her, which people often do. These days, when she isn't looking after her grandkids and great-grand kids, she runs a local book club and also does some maths tuition on the side. Both her and Krenin are also on the town community council.   She is a respected member of the town and her door is always open for those in need of some advice and a baked confection, those are made by Krenin as Jeanne is hopeless at baking. However, she is not one to be taken for a fool and she has a sharp tongue for those who stray beyond the limits of her patience.
