Description: Petal is a delicate woman who reaches to around to only around five foot and has a slender build. Soft sun kissed chestnut locks are often loose, reaching past her slight shoulders. She has pale skin often with a pink warmth to her cheeks. Light brown eyes are framed by golden-brown lashes.
Personality: Petal is often shy and softly spoken. Her personality sometimes blooms with time and she can be downright talkative to those she trusts and knows well. As a prodigal of Northern Shav origins, she isn't always the most trusting of nobles or even of crown sworn commoners. Petal loves the outdoors. She adores plants and animals. Petal also takes great love in sewing. She enjoys making things. Petal is very generous with those she cares about, but not always to the rest of the world. She tends have a soft spot for other prodigals or Shavs and will try to help them when she can. Petal has moments of playfulness that peek through her often somber demeanor.
Background: Petal Penrose is the only daughter of Darius and Allana, shavs of a northern tribe who, after they bent the knee when Petal was a young girl, were granted the family name Penrose. Swearing oath to the House of Redrain, the pair settled in a village on the southern edges of Redrain territory. Petal took after her mother, and learned the crafts of sewing and the ways of shamanism, becoming a skilled mender of clothe and sometimes men. She believes in a strong link between the spiritual and the art of crafting. Growing up in that small village, she befriended the son of another pair of prodigals, Tallius, and the pair were as close as siblings growing up.
Unfortunately, war came to the village, in the form of the advance of the armies of Tolomar Brand. When the village was overrun, Darius and Allana stood with many of the other elders of the village, fighting fiercely to try and buy time. When her friend Tallius attempted to stay and fight, his father commanded him to go, and to see the others to safety. Knowing she would never see her parents again, she embraced them for the last time and joined those fleeing. The journey was arduous and long, and beset constantly by the attacks of the foul creatures of the invading horde, but eventually the refugees stole through and achieved the safety of Arx. Of the thirty who fled the village, only a handful remained, Petal and her childhood friend amongst them. Petal was quite sick on arrival and is still not fully well, but she is better than she was.
The scars of the battle, and of the long flight to the dubious safety of Arx, are etched deep into Petal.
| Name | Summary |
| Aahana | I am quite impressed with this seamstress, seems she has more passion than just clothing and I find her to be very creative. Ever so much a blessing! |
| Adalyn | A kind, quiet soul and a seamstress in the city. Easy to talk to and knowledgeable about all sorts of attire. |
| Adora | I don't like her. |
| Aella | Seems sweet, and from what I have seen a talented seamstress as well. And it would be nice to have more people to speak with in my native tongue. Hopefully we will get to speak more soon. |
| Aethan | It is surprising to hear that she could be being hunted by something; she is far too sweet to have any enemies of her own making. |
| Agatha | Everyone knows about Petal, about how good she is at her job. It's really impressive. She is also VERY feisty. I think Elgana will shout at me if I ever make her mad. We will be unfashionable forever. |
| Agostino | I did not know that this well-known seamstress had such lovely dimples. A pleasure to talk to, as well. Perhaps I will see her around again sometime. |
| Aiden | Petal has been far too busy to provide personal tailoring, however, her work speaks for itself as to why that is! There's line ups for her items! Aiden was happy enough to buy pre-made wear and loves the pieces he's purchased, and his friends love them more. Aiden knows she's a hard worker and was more than happy to accommodate her request to set up shop in the menagerie. The partnership will prove a great foundation on which to get to know eachother better. |
| Ajax | An interesting merchant type character. She seems to have a warmth, I look forward to seeing if it's a layer or just played up. |
| Alaric | A tailor who has arrived in Arx during my absence from the throne, she seems to be renowned for her good work, and from what I can tell the reputation is entirely justified. She's also really short! Not that there's anything wrong with that. |
| Alban | A brave woman, and smart enough to bring two cloaks. I hope that she is safe through this, for I understand she is quite talented and seems most kind. |
| Alecstazi | She is an extraordinary seamstress who put together my wedding velvets. She is also, I must say, a woman of rare insight and self-possession. Not many would be willing to deny themselves a life as a noble, but she knows who she is and knows her place. I could not give higher praise than that. |
| Aleksei | Quiet, but a very talented seamstress! |
| Alessandro | Understandably wary of destruction, as a crafter of her caliber would be, but made a very valiant effort. |
| Alexandre | Mistress Petal is one of the most prolific and talented crafters I've come to hear about in Arx, and I was able to meet her at the Ebb and Flow Inn. A quiet young woman, she nonetheless makes for excellent company. |
| Alexio | A very friendly crafter that I met in the Black Fox. She seems to be a good sort, and is apparently a very hard worker. I will have to get by her shop soon to see what she has for sale. |
| Alexio | A talented seamstress with exquisite taste for detail. Seems she's fond for plants - that reminds me! I best go buy some for my new shop. |
| Alexis | Mistress Petal Penrose, a skilled seamstress who has made some of the most beautiful clothing I've ever seen. I'm proud to own a suit of her make. |
| Alrec | Petal has done work for me before. I love to wear her stuff still he might be better off hiding the whole prodigal thing rather than being so upfront about it how she is. I worry with how things are now days that someone will harm her. |
| Amantha | I find myself inclined to lend assistance to Mistress Petal. Is that an endearing quality of hers or a weakness of mine? Perhaps both. |
| Amari | Seems thoughtful, friendly and comes with mead! All admirable qualities. |
| Amund | Hard-working seamstress. Endorsed by Baron Stormbreak. |
| Angelo | A darling of a seamstress, I'll have to get to know her better and befriend her. I do so love the best artisans, and her artistry is well known. Plus, rather cute and not intimidated around nobility. I'm charmed. |
| Anisha | I met Petal Penrose in her shop, finding her resting with her belly slowly swelling. She was warm and welcoming on a cold and snowy day, and I was delighted to make her acquaintance - and to probe her for fashion advice. I look very much forward to seeing what kinds of creations she can come up with. |
| Ann | Of course I know of her! She's fabulous at what she does (nearly everything it seems) and has secured me as a lifelong customer. |
| Apollis | Aw, she is very pretty and possibly a little troubled, the poor dear. She's a Prodigal and her whole tribe was slaughtered. She's keeping a positive outlook and a determination I admire. She's a sweet girl. |
| Apollo | So generous and gracious and I'm SO SORRY |
| Appolonia | An interesting slip of a woman - craftswoman - who seems at least eager to share with those around her. That isn't something that can be said for many others. A noble quality to have. |
| Arcadia | Quiet and seems upfront about the cost of her wares. I will certainly have to order some new clothes from her. |
| Arianna | Sweet, very much a Northerner. A brilliant seamstress and very very adorable. |
| Ariella | A sweet and polite seamstress. Got a little blushy when I told her what I was looking for in an outfit. |
| Arik | Is pretty craftswoman that has giant brass balls. Is good to see in person. |
| Arman | She captured the beauty, elegance and strength of our former Archduchess in such a way that it warms my heart. I never imagined a garden would be a new addition to my preferred locations in and around the city, yet Petal's work has created a peaceful and well-thought haven of memories. |
| Armani | She's hard to read but she has interesting ideas |
| Armani | Quiet, and drinks tea in a tavern, but it takes all sorts. And she's not a bad sort at all. |
| Artur | At last I meet the famous Mistress Petal! I have heard a great deal about her talent as a seamstress and in person she seems a sweet and friendly young woman. She's keeping herself pretty busy it seems, which can't be a bad thing! |
| Artur | A member of the Lodge, and a sweet young woman. I have heard and seen her talents, and look forward to working with her. |
| Asher | Practical, straight to business, not judgemental. Exactly what one hopes for in a tailor. |
| Ashur | A young woman with a child with a noble, her own series of shops and a heart that seems to have no way to measure it. I understand why Rodica said that so many men are drawn to her. I just hope to count her as a friend. |
| Aslaug | (Hastily sketched onto a scrap of parchment is a flower. It seems on the verge of wilting, the petals sagging like soaked rags. The stem, however, stands stiff and straight.) |
| Astraea | What a kindly seamstress with a talent for making beautiful attire! My favorite dress was made by her apprentices at the shop, a simple cotton shift but it was and remains to be a truly exceptional piece. |
| Athaur | A lovely and skilled tailor. I shall have to get more work done from her. |
| Auda | A friendly seamstress, making endless outfits for the Silks. |
| Aurora | A woman of skill. Quiet. Certainly a peer I would go to for assistance. |
| Barik | A woman of certainly odd habits. She's of good manners, however, and denotes a particularly appealing desire for soft conversation, a nice change of pace from the tumultuous exchanges of the past. |
| Barric | I am not certain why she is so shy, she is a well known master tailor and a veteran of Stormwall. I hope I can get her to open up and speak freely sometime. |
| Beatrice | The seamstress is soft-spoken and likes flowers and gentle hounds. She's an eccentric, but her reputation speaks what her words do not. |
| Behtuk | A simple girl. Southern enough to be safe. |
| Berenice | Well, she's observant, at least. |
| Bethany | I'll never be able to thank her enough for the lovely piano she made for me! |
| Bianca | She is one I often see in passing. A lovely woman with a positive reputation with her work. She has been recommended to me in the past and I have every plan to seek her out should I need a specialized garment. |
| Bianca | Sweet, quiet and clearly very dedicated to her work. |
| Bianca | Mistress Petal seems to be both charming and caring. She is a disciple of Petrichor and I'm eager to assist them in any matter relating to the temple. |
| Bjorn | Woman that looks like she knows how to deliver quality and deserves to rip its benefits. She knows who to work with to maintain prosperity. |
| Braden | A little seemstress. So very adorable and apparently runs the Lodge of Petrichor. Very nice. |
| Braelynn | A highly esteemed seamstress. She's pregnant, that is so sweet. |
| Brianna | A sweet girl, and a seamstress, and many other things - seems like. I should check out her shop |
| Brigida | A tiny slip of a girl, but a devotee of the God of the Deep Woods. |
| Brigida | The work that this young woman does is truly outstanding. I feel Blessed to just know her. |
| Briseis | A tailor, modest, but clearly of good reputation! I really want to see what she designs and maybe purchase an outfit. |
| Cadenza | So darn talented! I can't wait to see what else she comes up with! |
| Cahal | A quiet, kind-seeming woman, with an accent that speaks of a shav background. |
| Calandra | A woman of many hidden talents and not just creating incredible garments. It was an honor to finally meet this woman with such artistry. |
| Calla | A charming woman I met in a field of flowers who has a daughter with the same name as I. Says she runs a shop, I shall have to stop by. |
| Caspian | A kind seamstress that judging by the clothing she wears is quite talented, if she made the clothing herself! |
| Caspian | Petal is a good friend and an even better seamstress. Also very hard to get her to take on work, I'm lucky she takes on my selfish requests. |
| Catalana | I am so familiar with her work and oh my goodness it was nice to meet her. Such a kind woman. |
| Catalana | A lovely kind soul. Her clothing is practical and beautiful, I wish I could be that talented. |
| Christine | Such a talented kid! I need to buy much more clothes from her! |
| Cirroch | Obviously a Prodigal, but that's not a bad thing. It seems she is well known for her skill with a needle. I will hope I get to see some of that handywork, she may have repeat business from me. |
| Cirroch | A woman who creates beauty with her own two hands. |
| Clara | A very polite young woman and she makes dresses. I think I will go see what sort of clothing she has to offer and maybe I'll order something from her once I'm settled into Arx. |
| Cleo | She is so tired! She needs to go on a trip and get away from clingy people who make so many demands on her attention! I should see if I can whip up some dreamers tea for her... do I have the ingredients? |
| Clover | Her shop is amazing! So many pretty items. Clover wonders if she ever sleeps, or if all she does all day is make clothing. |
| Constantine | So this is the seamstress I have heard so much about. A quiet and congenial woman who seems dedicated to her craft. I will have to keep an eye on her shop, though it sounds as if I may need to stay on top of the classified ads if I want anything before she is out of stock. |
| Coraline | She is so nice, but she looks so tired. I would dearly love to help her, she looks like she needs a lot of good nights rests. |
| Cristoph | I finally met Mistress Petal. I sure hope she's stocking more kid related items soon. These people all keep having babies! |
| Cullen | A very tired, if talented, crafter from the North. A fellow prodigal, so I have an instant desire to want to help her - I know full well what that's like. I'll always lend a hand to those of us who joined the Compact, we know what it is like to be an outsider all too well. |
| Cullen | An extremely talented artisan, charming and beautiful, a dear friend, and one of the best people I happen to know. |
| Cullen | Such a warm and kindly young woman, she lights up the room being in it. I am so glad to have seen her again. |
| Cybele | Petal Penrose is nice and makes very nice things and I hope to get to buy many nice things from her and to make a friend! |
| Daemon | A former shav with a lovely face and gifted fingers. |
| Dante | A talented and courteous seamstress with a salutary idea for a rose garden. Naturally, I'll have to help. |
| Dariel | Sweet, friendly and with a delightful humour. |
| Darren | Miss Petal seems like an innocent soul, and that motivates me to protect her if I can. |
| Declan | Probably one of the most overworked seamstresses in the city, or will be if they look at high quality of her work. I'll shamelessly add to her load, and she seems too polite to say no. |
| Delia | Soft-spoken and kind, and fashionable! Exactly the kind of person I would like to know. |
| Delilah | A thoughtful young woman. Though her voice may get lost in a crowd, it chooses words carefully, and that's a respectable talent. Besides, she's a friend of Silas' and I can't help but feel extremely at ease with her presence around. |
| Delilah | A gentle, refined young woman with a definite talent for tailoring. I made her acquaintance in a coffee shop, of all places, and she showed a certain humbleness about an art that takes no mean skill to master. One of my dining companions spoke highly of her arts, and I shall have to see what sort of couture she envisions. I'm certain it's bound to be remarkably damaging to my budget, but for a skilled and genuine soul, isn't that a good thing? |
| Denica | The best seamstress in the city! There is nowhere else I'd rather go |
| Denica | Intelligent and skilled in her craft. I'd love to see more of her dresses and garden! Maybe I'll get to paint both! |
| Derovai | Wallflowers tend to be overlooked. She really should bloom more confidently. |
| Dianna | At last, I meet the famed seamstress, and her workmanship truly astounds. I shall look forward to seeing how she interprets and executes the needs of a Lyceum Lady. |
| Dominique | It is always the quiet ones who claim they can't grr or rawr that have the loudest and most powerful roar. |
| Domonico | A seamstressed, rated as one of the best in the city according to Aahana. Many nobles seem to praise her creations |
| Donato | A sexy little thing, I'm going to teach her how to be a Corsair and sail the seas with me, and make her my live in mistress. She might not know it yet, but I am very charming! |
| Donato | A charming little Shav, she creates wearable works of art! I need to buy some fine clothing from her. |
| Draven | She doesn't like Arik's Eyeball Plucking technique. |
| Duarte | Very helpful and talented. Charming and simple. |
| Dycard | Apparently the mother of a possibly to-be-ennobled child. She evidently holds something back in conversation, but there's a definite hope and eagerness to her mannerisms. |
| Echo | I'm looking forward to be wearing some of Petal's work. She's one of the best seamstresses in town through word of mouth, and she is awful sweet. I hope I can try out some of her homemade mead soon! |
| Eddard | A fine craftswoman who owns the Tangled Skein. She dabbles in a bit of everything and is /so/ young to be as successful as she is. |
| Edwyn | A well-mannered Prodigal who makes lovely clothes. I expect to see her often. |
| Eithne | A quiet seamstress who also happens to make a lot more stuff than just clothing. I have purchased a couple of stockings from her. Shh, don't tell my sister! I look forward to seeing what kind of work we can do together. |
| Eleyna | One of the most talented crafters in Arx, if not the Compact. I count myself lucky to be her patron and able to help her with whatever her future plans may be. As for controversy, well, it makes me like her even better that she's willful and opinionated along with all that talent. |
| Elfriede | A sweet little lady who goes around carrying apples in baskets. Is there a better kind of being to be? |
| Elgana | A lovely and sweet woman with a great many talents. I truly look forward to spending more time in her shop, learning about all her. |
| Ember | Met her twice now, both times she was sewing something fierce. Lady must really enjoy her work. |
| Ember | A talented seamstress and designer. Modest and soft-spoken, but her skill speaks quite loudly. |
| Emilia | She grows flowers! I love flowers! When she invited me to her garden, I was so happy. |
| Enoch | Judging from her hands, a young lady of excellent crafting talent. She's kind hearted and extremely intelligent. It was an honor meeting her tonight and I will no doubt enjoy the prospect of meeting her again. |
| Enri | A seamstress, easy to talk and get along with. We seem to share some thoughts about freedom, so I'm looking forward meeting her again. |
| Erik | She is going to get married! Also, she is a knowledgeable devout of Vellichor, surely that's interesting too. |
| Esme | She seems to like her craft, now I just have to figure out how to get on her seasilk wool commission list. |
| Estil | Quiet but sweet, the skilled seamstress's talents are highly lauded. I do hope to avail myself of her skills in the near future. |
| Evaristo | I met a legend! She's so young and so amazing at her craft, truly blessed by the gods. |
| Evelynn | What she's accomplished in her time in Arx is to be admired. |
| Ezekiel | A lovely artisan with a talent for woodworking. Perhaps I shall ask her to craft me a new instrument. Loralynn has treated me well, but, she is showing her age. Pour thing. |
| Ezra | She's a tailor and, from what you gathered, is looking for a new lover. This type of conversation seems to come up more often because of being left or leaving. It's hard to tell with her but with the way people handled her it seems more likely that she's the one left. Some people like the added attention and some don't. You really can't tell because she doesn't seem like the type to tell a prince to bugger off. |
| Fairen | It's hard to say if Mistress Petal was so quiet because of where she was, or if it's just who she is. |
| Fairen | Kindly and soft-spoken, I hear she's a talented artist. She's proud of her house, something great to see. She'll be a wonderful mother, I'm sure. A very nice soul. |
| Faruq | From the North, if I place her accent properly. She is a famed tailor as I have heard her name mentioned when I was on the hunt for clothing befitting my station in this city. She seems small, quiet, unassuming. So talented though, it makes a man wonder. |
| Fatima | Sweet seamstress with the pride of the shavs. She carries herself with dignity and honor. |
| Faye | She seems like a nice young woman, though perhaps she should avoid wearing antlers indoors. |
| Fecundo | Having heard so many good things about her skill and work, it was good to finally speak with her. It is a shame that all she has left of outfits currently are white peacocks. White is just not my color. |
| Ferrando | A slight and polite person with a remarkably singular artistic vision. A lot of people I know are fans of her work. I feel like I'm not really her target market, though. |
| Fianna | A lovely, quiet soul. I wouldn't mind meeting her for tea again. |
| Fiora | She made a pretty dress for Yelana. So she has that going for her. |
| Fortunato | Perceptive, lonely, restless. Vivid memory. Good traits in an artist of any sort. Will lead her to see her clients clearly. I hope it will also lead her to see ways to adapt to her environment or, why not, make it adapt to her. |
| Galatea | She seems like a sweet, earnest, friendly sort of girl. Suppose I'll have to see her store. |
| Galen | Ah, the one whom I would have laid my life down for. A pleasure to finally meet her, it seems she might be able to help me dress better too! |
| Galen | So quiet but so sweet - her skill speaks for her and it was good to see her again |
| Gareth | A tailor. She seems competent enough. Perhaps. She'll do. |
| Gaspar | Clearly a talented seamstress that commands attention from the fashion-minded. Along with being beautiful and kind, I like her. |
| Gaston | Some might see a simple seamstress, but it takes resilience to flee your home and start anew amongst a different culture. Even more so to prosper and thrive. On another note, I think I'll have to see about purchasing a pair of those trousers. They're even in the family colours. |
| Gaston | One of the most well known seamstresses in the whole of the city, her garments are art, and her personality pleasant. Someone said she was a shav? Well, clearly she's adjusted quite fine and someone good to know. |
| Gawain | She is sweet, she is polite, and she gave me tarts. She may very well be the greatest person in all of the Compact. |
| Gerald | An interesting young woman. A bit skittish, it seems, but, well, that is often the way of things. |
| Giada | She seems to be getting that untasted drinks are not innocuous. I'm glad I was able to help her with that. |
| Gianna | She gave me a lovely lyre solely because I could play music. My first experience with the unexpected generosity of Arx. |
| Gilroy | Quite the crafter! |
| Giulio | A talented craftswoman with an interesting accent. |
| Grazia | Mistress Petal is an excellent seamstress, even if one must overlook her Prodigal accent. She did many of the costumes for the masquerade last year, and this year she's making mine. This pleases me to no end. |
| Gretchen | My first future repeat customer! |
| Gwenna | Mistress Petal is a seamstress. Our paths happened to cross at an Open Court gathering, which lead to me inquiring about her work and shop. Judging by the tunic she was wearing, of her own make, she is quite talented! Hopefully she will be able to take a few commissions once I am more settled and her schedule allows. |
| Hadrian | She tends toward respect, even if by her own admission she can make foolish decisions at times. Doesn't that apply to us all? Emotions take control from time to time, but as we discussed those emotions must sometimes be grabbed by the horns and controlled. We had a long discussion about her talents, her aspirations, her past, her present, and her future. I am eager to see where our business relationship may go. I foresee great things for Ostria with her aiding House Mazetti and I have genuine hope that I will likewise assist her in grasping for even more greatness than she has already achieved. |
| Hamish | The workhorse of Arx's fashion scene. Some other seamstresses and tailors may grab attention for a time, but everyone returns to the Tangled Skein. |
| Harlex | A pale thing with a world-weary heart. It's a cruel place. Young and old, it doesn't care. Neither fair nor unfair. You soldier on regardless. So I'll do what I can, girl. I suppose that's enough.. Use with no arguments to see a list of valid chars. |
| Harper | Petal's as pretty as the flower she's named for. Poor lady's workin' way too hard though! |
| Helena | The best seamstress I know and the sweetest heart in Arx. |
| Helia | Utterly wonderful seamstress and overall sweetheart. I like her already! |
| Helle | Very reassuring. It probably would be too much rain, though. So nice. So kind. |
| Holt | A quiet seamstress who might just be looking for a tutor or guard? Remains to be seen. |
| Ian | Seamstress, I think. Is she the one with the mouse? |
| Icelyn | Quiet and polite. I can tell she loves what she does. Everything she does. It's so refreshing to see. |
| Ignacio | She is a pleasant seamstress with a fascination in flowers. It seems like we could likely have interesting conversations in the future. |
| Iliana | Quiet and calm in the face of surprises. I appreciate that. |
| Iseulet | Is it safe to say I'm her biggest fan? I'm her biggest fan. The woman is a marvel. |
| Ishmael | A talented and beautiful artisan |
| Jace | Lovely seamstress who seems to deal with more grief than she should. Would like to see how she fares from mountain rivers to the sea. |
| Jaenelle | Petal has found her place in the world and I have enjoyed watching her achievements with the Lodge. It is a beautiful place and she has made the compact proud. |
| Jaerith | Lovely lady. I may need to spend some time up north if I can sneak away from duties. I could learn a bit from her in the land of adult beverages. |
| Jan | She looks like she knits all the knickers in the Compact with that basket. I'll have to see if she works on leather. |
| Jarel | I gather that Petal is a dedicated seamstress, no doubt I will procur her services to get something nice. |
| Jasher | Her work is admired by quite a few people. Intriguing. |
| Jeffeth | A soft spoken baker. She seems like a nice sort. She gave me pie. |
| Jev | YAY SHE IS GOING TO TEACH ME SHAV!!!!!!! |
| Jophiel | While she may be a shrinking violet upon the stage, her passion in speaking of the Lodge shows that it has a good and firm Voice in the coming days. |
| Jordan | A nice seamstress with a gentle touch and a want to do more for people. It's always good to see someone contribute in such ways. Heartwarming. |
| Joscelin | There are depths to this artist, stubborn in the best ways, brilliant at her work. I'm proud to have her as a peer. |
| Josephine | A lovely crafter, a little softspoken. A delight when she comes in my shop. Though she makes me worry for her health. I shall have to make her something. |
| Josephine | A woman of such skill that her name is heard across the compact. That she returns to us in the crafters guild is a boon and good omen. |
| Joslyn | She is one of the finest seamstresses I've ever met, pretty and simply charming. I hope we get to know each other! |
| Jules | A wonderfully interesting tailor and she works with Lady Mabelle. She made a gown with wonderful stones sown on it and she told me about the details! |
| Juliana | Wonderful talen, beautiful heart and simple modesty. |
| Jyri | Her dedication to the Lodge is inspiring. She made me look at flowers in a different way - in a way I have not done in many, many years. The spirits must love it here. I know I do. |
| Kaia | Such a warm and sweet lady; seems to be quite skilled in her craft. I look forward to becoming one of her many patrons. |
| Kaldur | Poor thing, she doesn't look like she's slept in a week. I hope she gets some rest soon. |
| Karina | She seems as sweet as her namesake, and I have no doubt that she brightens up the lives of those close to her. |
| Kasa | She seems really sweet and I can't help but feel sorry for her situation. She proabably shouldn't take my advice though! |
| Katarina | Something about the woman sets Katarina on edge. While she seems sweet and all, she's far too nosey and invasive without even a real conversation to be eased into. Where's her manners? |
| Kedehern | A skilled seamstress from what I'm told, who seems truly devoted to Petrichor. |
| Kenna | I have been in her shop SO MANY TIMES. She seems quiet every time I have met her, but not at all unfriendly. |
| Khanne | A talented tailor. She likes the floofy girly style more than me, and I think is obsessed with thigh highs, but, she does good work and I can't wait to see what dhe does for my dress. |
| Killian | She's tiny! A good seamstress though, and extremely polite and kind. I look forward to seeing and wearing her work! |
| Klaus | The woman does stunning work, even if she did try her best to get me to be the one to wear a dress for my wedding. |
| Korka | The legend herself! She is sweet as the pies she claims to bake for fun and profit. |
| Korka | A seamstress that can be relied upon to hold and watch food. A keeper. |
| Kutazer | Such a lovely woman and so exceedingly talented. I shall have to visit her some day and get something better than my usual duds. |
| Lailah | A lovely woman, and a wonderful talent. I would love to know her better, and maybe get a few more dresses from her! |
| Laric | Apparently, THE tailor. Cara will be the judge of that (mostly because Laric has no fashion sense). |
| Leola | An intent, curious individual, with a love of the world around her and an interest in it all. May she find joy in all she sees. |
| Leona | I bought things in a hasty shopping trip from this woman's store. I still don't know her well, but she came to the ceremony to honor Mangata, and so I am glad I gave her some of my money - and am glad to meet her. Perhaps one day I'll even unbend enough to talk to her about an actual dress that isn't hastily bought. That might be too far for me for a while though. I wonder if she makes gambesons. |
| Liara | A quiet woman, an artisan, apparently? If she made her own garments, then a fine one. She had a great number of guards with her - rather unusual - but I am sure there is some sound reason for the Iron Guard to arrange that. |
| Lilia | She seems a spontaneous, generous soul, seeking to protect everyone's heads from the winter's bite. Either that or she has hit upon a very effective marketing technique. Either way, I approve. |
| Lora | Her reputation as a sweet lady devoted to green growing things is not undeserved. |
| Lore | Sweet, if quiet, young woman. I hear she makes some truly excellent mead! |
| Lorenzo | A soft-spoken young woman. Shared a drink at the Murder. I enjoyed talking with her, and I hope to meet up with her again. |
| Lorenzo | A pleasant and warm woman, and a seamstress of legendary skill. Conversations with her always seem enjoyable, too. |
| Lottie | Quiet and delicate, a lot like her namesake. She also makes the most beautiful things! |
| Lou | Petal is the most experienced plant person I know, and her skills have literally saved the lives of hundreds when it came to the Lodge of Petrichor crisis. She's also a rather amazing seamstress to boot! |
| Lucita | Friendly and very talented seamstress, enjoyable company! |
| Luis | Makes amazing clothing, but also a fun and interesting woman to spend time with, it will be a great joy to get to know her more. Clothing optional it would seem. Meaning the clothing that she sells, he has the option of purchasing it, he hopes. |
| Lydia | That seamstress, whose things adorn my closet so frequently... she carries a bow, and clearly knows how to use it! I can't say I wasn't surprised! |
| Lys | My patron's other protege. An alarmingly talented crafter of many talents. |
| Maddox | She is focused on her work, most of the time. But she seems kind hearted and a bit absent minded. A pleasant person to meet |
| Maeve | I have seen the work she does in her shop. She has so much talent! I do adore her work. Though, with so many shops that she runs, it is a wonder she hasn't worn herself thin! |
| Magnus | Once one of the Abandonned, but she has come to this city and made a name for herself as a Prodigal. Proof that it can be done, and that we may bring prosperity to the Compact despite our different upbringing. I quite enjoy her company. |
| Magnus | A seamstress and one of the north herself. Perhaps we have somethings in common. It would be worth learning more to be sure. Friends are not exactly easy to come by, and she could likely be a good one to have. |
| Maja | A very gifted tailor! If I decide to go that route, maybe she's someone I could study under? |
| Malcolm | She's real sweet and a little soft-spoken, but she's really talented with crafting and gardening from what I hear. |
| Malesh | A fine seamstress, favored by my wife and others. Prgamatic about the realities of battle as well! |
| Marcas | A pleasant little seamstress...but a shav. Harmless, I'm sure, but the memories never do fade, do they? I shall give her a chance, warily. |
| Maren | A refreshingly sweet young woman, with a kind and gentle demeanor coupled with considerable inner strength. She seems like a person who will not be afraid to claim joy, when she sees it. |
| Margerie | I have a great admiration for those whose craft is their passion. She can pick out her design from across the room and be entirely consumed by the sight of another artisan's work that she appreciates. Petal is one of those craftspeople. |
| Marisol | I keep seeing her work around the city. A lovely crafter if ever there was one. |
| Martino | Came to join a few others in the Black Fox. Seemed friendly, although turned down working on my own clothes. |
| Maru | A peculiar young woman of many skills. She seems quite at home in the lodge with her plants. |
| Melody | Owner of one of the most robust general stores in the entire city. Apparently she's rich too, spending all that money on a single dress and offering to let me wear it... Whatever the case, her generosity will stick with me. |
| Mercedes | A wee-tiny tailor who said my shirt, pants and coat were a fashion crisis! That I needed to wear blue and silver and smoke or something. She seemed very nice though and said that what I was wearing was fine but if I wanted to wear more than fine, I should come see her. Maybe I will. I might need a second shirt someday. |
| Merek | %bMerek thinks Petal is a bit sheepish, but she seems to be overall a nice woman. He doesn't know much about her, but he has heard of her reputation within the shop he visits, and very much likes her craft quite a bit. |
| Meriah | Once saw a little white flower growing up from between two cracked stones. She reminds me of that. |
| Michael | A fine pie-maker. And clothing maker. And carpenter. I'm beginning to wonder what this woman isn't good at. |
| Mikani | Always a pleasure to see the wonderful Petal. Always busy. Always working. I like the dedication to her craft that she shows. |
| Miranda | Mistress Petal - Lovely lady with such exquisite skill! Eager to help and please her customers. |
| Mirari | Sweet little thing. Her clothing is excellent, though she seems a little bit shy. |
| Mirari | A sweet and kind little soul, I may have to avoid her, simply because I don't want to be the one to teach her wicked things. |
| Mirella | A very sweet woman who is clearly very much in love with her husband. I'll never be a gentle soul such as she is, nor would I try to be such, but perhaps the world would be a kinder place if more people were like her. |
| Mirk | An industrious Northern woman, who speaks the tongue of the Northlands Shav fluently. It's always a pleasure to have a chat in the that tongue. Perhaps I'll have to visit her shop, to show my support. |
| Monique | Sweet as pie! And skilled to boot. I hope she manages to keep her spirit here in Arx. |
| Morgan | What a nice young tailor! Her accent is cute and she's got the most beautiful eyes! And she's really all about nature too, I want to see this Lodge and have her give me a tour with that lovely voice! |
| Morrighan | Mistress Petal, one of the more renown seamstresses of the city, and Redrain is most fortuitous to have such talented folk within the fealty. Very popular with her work, though I don't know her well, personally, but the instances I've come across her she's been very well-mannered and soft spoken. |
| Mydas | Came at an unfortunate time, to find Tallius on the floor after convincing himself he just HAD to down the entire bottle of the vodka I kept warning everyone about. We'll see if that colours future contacts, I can't say I know much of her otherwise. Something that may change in the future. |
| Nanette | A mother who evidently cares about her daughter's future. She has a good head on her shoulders to seek out a lawyer, rather than deal with such a potentially messy situation on her own. I hope I can be of help to her, I truly do. |
| Naomi | She sure likes clothes. Followed by a little dog, too. Why is everyone in this city followed by a menagerie? And why does she want to sew in a battle arena? |
| Narcissa | Reserved and quiet, silent and a pretty thing to look at much like her namesake. |
| Navi | A mother of blossoms, of earth, of hope. I will help keep those beacons lit if I am able, to ward off those that would seek to take that hope for themselves when it is so clearly and dearly needed by the many. |
| Nigel | She seems most demure, but, clearly an individual of distinction. Such modesty is rare and all the more valuable for that. |
| Nijah | She's the seamstress I was told about, I'm looking forward to getting to know her properly. |
| Nikias | Lovely lady that seems to be talented with crafting many different things. Perhaps I can get her to help make some clothes and something to put them all into. |
| Niklas | The legendary seamstress. Always seems a little tired and a little shy, but is always very friendly. |
| Niklas | The greatest seamstress in the Compact. My first go-to for fashion nearly every time. |
| Norwood | She is not one to set herself out there loudly. I only hope she does not work herself into that state of exhaustion too very often. |
| Nuala | A woodlark like her has the softest songs to go with the cheerful ebullience and diminutive size she projects. A lovely woman with so many tasks, how can she wing between them all? |
| Ophelia | Mistress Petal has made such lovely work of the flower gardens around the Lodge of Petrichor. She is very talented and has an excellent eye for color. I hope she doesn't mind if I sit amongst the lavender and chat with her as she works! |
| Orelia | Sweet little thing. Honest, too. That's a quality I like in people. Though I do feel woefully underdressed, beside her. |
| Orelia | Industrious and even in the face of tragedy. I've seen soldiers with less mettle. |
| Orrin | Sociable and talented, which is more than I have any right to ask of my tailor, really. |
| Orvyn | A master seamstress among other many creative talents both shared and with warm words spoken about. She has the kind heart that comes from one whom truly is passionate about their craft, far more than the worries of the mundane. A pleasure to meet and one worth knowing more about in the future, especially to see what sort of creations she will make without string attached, nor direction given. |
| Oswyn | Shy, gentle, and one of the most hardworking people I've ever met. |
| Otakar | A delightful daughter of the North, an example of how we can integrate shav'avarni into society and they will become part of it, contributing their own culture and skills. I am glad I met her, and look forward to speaking to her in the future. |
| Pasquale | A seamstress, and an over-worked one by the look of her. Perhaps she'll be able to take some leisure in the coming days. |
| Pasquale | A genuinely friendly young woman. |
| Pharamond | A person should pay attention to her. She's in the background often but sees much. |
| Piccola | I've heard of the mistress of fabrics. I hadn't heard of how she came to Arx. Her story is far more interesting and tragic than mine. She proves my point on the value of commoners to the Compact as a whole. |
| Prisila | A young maiden with self-esteem issues perhaps? Or did someone shatter her confidence. It's disappointing to see but that gentleman was so apt in stating how her contributions are indeed appreciated. |
| Quenia | A woman of remarkable tailoring skill. She is helping me with a new outfit after my brothers' dogs destroyed my entire wardrobe of clothing. |
| Raimon | A softspoken crafter |
| Raja | Crafty! Really, she can be summed up into that one word for me. She offered me a job working for her. Not sure if I am up for it. |
| Ras | I like her puppy. |
| Raymesin | What sort of seamstress comes down to the Murder of Crows to do some work? This sort, apparently. She's a strange one, but she seems harmless. Shame about those guards... |
| Richard | Mistress Petal seems to be tied to the Lodge of Petrichor, I also believe she is a tailor. |
| Rinel | Shav'arani. Quiet. Hasn't mastered common yet. I like her. I think. |
| Rodica | She has exceedingly lovely elbows. |
| Ronja | Well, she's only something like the most regarded dressmaker in Arx, isn't she? Somehow, I thought she'd be louder, more... in my face. I guess art takes all kinds! |
| Rook | A quiet shav'arvani woman of some repute in the crafter circles. Delightful, if shy. |
| Rosalind | Sounds like she had a rough start, but she's most certainly standing on her feet and stronger for it. She likes the outdoors, much like me. Wonder if I can drag off on adventures. |
| Rowenova | This lovely woman is not only an impressive crafter but also a hard worker and kind person, too. |
| Roxana | I'd heard that she was talented. That she is talented /and/ has navigated the waters of Arx so well, I was less aware of. She mingles with the highest of society and never appears uncomfortable. |
| Rukhnis | While I had met her briefly before, I learned little of her then. Now I hear that besides being a seamstress and woodworker of talent, she has been quite literally touched by the gods themselves. Her voice is soft but her spirit must be strong. |
| Ryhalt | Seems not the usual sort for a tailor, what with falling off of mountains and the bow, but seems to know Jack and appears to be a pleasant sort. |
| Rysen | A northerner with the courageous heart and a love of flowers. |
| Sabella | She's lovely and sweet, but while she might work with silk there's steel there yet. |
| Sabella | I am always so amazed with Mistress Petal's skill with, well, just about everything! She is also always so gentle and kind. Definitely someone I can see as a trusted friend! |
| Sabella | Mistress Petal seems to grow sweeter with time and never ages! I wish I knew her secret, but I'm going to guess it has to do with all those delicious things she makes and use that as an excuse to visit her shop as often as I can! |
| Sable | Another outsider, her presence - and acceptance - at the Lodge comforts me somewhat. |
| Saedrus | I have met Mistress Petal Penrose on multiple occasions, either in the Grotto baths or during many different events throughout the city. I have seen her art on display, which is fabulous, and only ever seen her working diligently. I should like to know her better in future and really must visit her shop on occasion. |
| Samael | She seems like a kind woman. Perhaps a bit abused by her clients. If I ever need anything tailored I know the type of behavior she doesn't appreciate now. |
| Santiago | Rose tea, and praise. This young woman has gilded fingers, and a solid understanding of World Order. She is an exemplar. |
| Sanya | The talented Mistress Penrose is sweet and a warm presence. I hope to know her better with time. |
| Saoirse | This woman apparently travels around with pies. Saoirse does not understand. |
| Sasha | An amazing seamstress and my favorite one within Arx. |
| Savio | It feels like meeting a celebrity, to have lovely Petal wander into my path! Her company is as excellent as her tailoring. |
| Saya | Nice, but she's clearly a spider. |
| Scipio | A friendly seamstress who I met in the Mercier Tea Shop. |
| Sebastian | A crafter of lovely designs. Curious that she isn't more concerned about damage for her shop. |
| Selene | For good reason, her designs are coveted in the homes of the highborn or courtiers alike. Whatever she touches turns to silver. |
| Sergei | Daydreamer, by the look of her, and from the wilds of the North she reckons. The accent rings familiar, sounds like she gets her business in sewing, maybe she can fix up my shirts for me. |
| Shae | She is quiet, a little shy, but sweet. And seems to really know what she is about when it comes to makig clothes. |
| Shae | There is a warmth of spirit about her, a kind steadiness to her, it is comforting to be around her, and her love of flowers is a joy. |
| Shard | Tailor. Prodigal? Victus used the language to talk to her, but I didn't catch a reply. And Fatima kept going on about her skills. |
| Sheena | Didn't talk much to her. She seems to be very focused on her work. People talk of her like she is famous. |
| Sigurd | She has done quite well for herself after a long and harrowing journey. It pleases me that some Prodigals from the North can find such a welcome in Arx and the Compact. |
| Simon | A kinder soul at first meeting I've yet to find! I'm glad to have shared a conversation about the value of hard work, and hope to have many more at the Skein! |
| Sirius | A sweet and kind woman whose art hangs on her very form, as clothing. |
| Snow | There are now two people who I can make friends with. Woo! |
| Solange | A woman of her own world, and I hope that she finds her place. |
| Sophie | So charming! I'm sure she'll be a great help to me in choosing herbs to plant. |
| Sorrel | This is the seamstress who made me a set of silks with musical notes on them, and I absolutely love them. I just never met her before now. She is polite, pleasant, and lovely, and all I want to do is give her money for more pretty things. She clearly has a creative mind and excellent taste in beautiful things. |
| Sparte | A very talented craftsman, with a new patron from the sound of it. I wonder what happened to her old one? |
| Sudara | Apparently an unrepentant tome-torturing terror! I have offered to rescue any books this charming young seamstress and gardener might in future wish to use for fire-starting or table-balancing. |
| Sunaia | A mild-mannered seamstress and Voice for the Lodge. She seems pleasant. |
| Sydney | Introduced herself to me as a seamstress and a gardener - she's short as y'like with a voice to match, but she struck me as the friendly sort, and offering to watch me in the next tourney is incentive if ever there was any to try to do even better next year. |
| Tabitha | The owner of the Tangled Skein. She's always so pleasant and it's always nice to see her, even though we haven't spoken much. I love her clothes! Her craftsmanship and eye for color are just wonderful. |
| Talen | Mistress Petal makes every garment that Eleyna brings home to surprise him. While a usually dour man, sullen and brooding, he'll make time for Petal if only to ensure an uninterrupted sigh of garters, stockings and other meticulously crafted underwear. |
| Tallius | Tallius has known Petal for a long time now, but the Petal of their village and the Petal that arrived in the city are very different people. The flight to the safety of Arx, weathering the siege, Battle of Silence and all the rest that have happened have changed her. He worries about pressing her to too much change too quickly, and so hesitates with her despite having deep feelings for her, and considering her to be the kindest and gentlest of people he has ever known. |
| Talwyn | She creates some of the most remarkable pieces in the city. A talent nurtured by flights of creativity always shines through, and she burns like a solo aria on the stage. |
| Talwyn | An incredibly skilled craftswoman who is very polite and well-mannered, she made my favorite lyre! Since she wishes to hear songs played upon it, I shall be more than happy to do so. |
| Talwyn | Came from a tough and tragic start, but the Mistress has made a whole life for herself here. Carving it through will, determination and style. |
| Tarik | She was called Mistress Seamstress by a Princess. She had a shav accent, and I thought she was from Halfshav, but she wasn't. She was a refugeee, when she seem to be a bit shy in confessing. It might be my imagination. She told where I could get a trunk, and perhaps I will see her about getting some more clothes and try one of her pies. From her conservation with the Princess, she seems to be very skilled, and very humble. |
| Tarrant | Polite and demure, with a great talent for her craft. An entirely pleasant individual, and a rare one: my sister is incredibly picky in her tailors. |
| Teireno | A lovely and friendly woman. I should check out her shop sometime soon. |
| Tescelina | Certainly a kind seamstress. A lover of tea. |
| Tesha | As shy and sweet as anything. It works for her, others seem thankfully willing to make the little dear safe. |
| Tessa | I really do think she can make anything. |
| Thea | Quiet. I'm sure there's something under the quietness. There usually is. I would know. |
| Thena | Very sweet. I hope she stays clear of Mags. She seems to know her stuff about tailoring so maybe I can hit her up for a dress when I have some extra cash. |
| Theo | A crafter I've seen around a few times; I'll have to run some designs by her when she has the time. |
| Theodoric | A mysterious and troubled weaver with a worrying spirit in need of the courage that can be found at the end of a difficult decision or an the bottom of a large bottle. |
| Theron | A good businesswoman, pleasant, and polite. She needed some writs and I was happy to provide them. Looking forward to more business in the future, and perhaps drinking some of that brandy I promised. |
| Thesarin | A small thing, another Prodigal come to this place. Seems she's here to make things, and make things grow. Worthy work. Doubt her story's a happy one; few are. |
| Thorley | She had a large basket of pies and cider. I overheard someone said she can make other things, as well. |
| Torian | Seamstress. Working on it right there in the Murder. Angered a bunch of silks once, so she's got that going for her. |
| Traherne | A crafter in her own right. She seems to be quite friendly, and I am happy to have made her acquaintance in what little time I could speak with her. I will need to remember to stop by her shop one day to see what she has to offer. |
| Turo | A chance meeting with her in the Traders Tavern turned into an engaging and thoroughly interesting conversation. She's astute and insightful. I look forward to seeing if her seamstress skills compare with her conversation. |
| Tynan | A pleasant prodigal lady who seems like she carries the world on her shoulders. More sleep and less work may be in order. |
| Valarian | A talented little seamstress! Cute, too. Seems rather shy, but I'm sure she's lovely company nonetheless. I'll chat with her and find out since I need clothes anyways. Maybe a glass of whiskey or two would make her more talkative. |
| Valdemar | Vanora and I have spent a good deal of time, and silver, in her shop, so it was good to finally meet the talent behind the creations. Pleasant, and she had an interesting story to tell. |
| Valenzo | Kevin likes her more than me. Also, she just /gave/ me a fetching hat! What a delightful person! |
| Valery | Petal seems nice and happy. And sweet. She's sewing almost each time I see her., |
| Vanora | I do hope Mistress Petal is doing alright...and that she has people able to help care for her. |
| Vasile | Hard-working and sincere. Keeps to what she knows, which is clothes. She can make a pretty penny just doing that, which is valuable and desirable in their own right. |
| Venturo | A brewer, a maker of one of the finest meads I've had in some time. I'll have to follow up and visit her place of business. |
| Vercyn | Amusing young woman. Between her accent, her diminutive stature, insomnia and continuous inability to understand noble titles, she would be an interesting presence in any social gathering. |
| Vercyn | A tailor and a gardner. An odd combination for sure, but she seems pleasant and skilled. |
| Verity | She seems an amiable sort. Kept a level head, considering just how oddly folk were behaving, throwing money around and so forth. She has a shop - and it has a swing! |
| Verity | A gifted tailor, curiously with a larger contingent of guards than many nobles. Her talents must be well-prized by all of Arx. |
| Veronica | She seems like a nice, friendly little seamstress who does good work with dresses. The curious thing about her though is her shav accent; is she a recent prodigal? |
| Victus | A shav with a talent for pretty things. If it makes my cousin happy, I'll be happy too. Just hope she doesn't suggest a pretty dress for me next. |
| Vincenzo | She introduced herself as Voice of the Lodge. She's skilled with woodworking, and there's something interesting about her regarding her love of nature that Vincenzo appreciates as well. Birds of a feather. |
| Violet | A soft spoken crafstwoman with a passion for flowers. I think we may get along very well. We spoke of hiring her to make me a new dress. I wonder if she will let me go and lay in her wildflower garden when I'm stuck in Arx in the spring and summer? |
| Vitalis | I'm not quite sure what to make of someone who brings a sewing basket to a gaming house. |
| Vittorio | An unxpected delight. I did not know what to expect of a prodigal linked to Petrichor and yet known by Archduchess Jaenelle. She was respectful and friendly and I will have to visit this lodge she holds in such high regard. |
| Volcica | She gets to marry for love! I could almost envy her, but there's a place for all of us, I suspect, and hers isn't mine. |
| Warrick | Willing to barter. Way too willing to give away free stuff, but. Poor people don't get a whole lot of choice. |
| Wash | Isn't the purpose of the compact to protect such naivete and helplessness? The crafts flourish, arts and science flourish because of people like this, protected by people like us. |
| Wilhelmina | A bit reserved person. She sports useful skills. |
| Willow | She seems both meticulous and intriguing. |
| Yasmine | Named after flowers and as pretty and delicate as one, but I think there is steel beneath the bloom. |
| Ysabel | A perfectly kind young tailor capable of making the most remarkably evil thing look so incredibly adorable. |
| Zalika | I am curious to see a fellow seastresses work. She is very pleasant and sweet |
| Zebulon | She is a very sweet, if overworked seamstress. I'd like to check out some of her work some day soon. |
| Zeriax | The peaceful, tranquil half of nature. A glade full of blossoming flowers, a rainbow of sweet aromas, beckoning those near with the essence of sweetness. |
| Zoey | One of the most brilliant crafters in the whole of Arvum. The whimsy in her designs is clearly a reflection of the light in her heart. |
