Name: Elmorel Thyrwal
Age: 36 at time of death

Profession: Tailor of fine garments, owner of The Silver Thread clothing store.

Description:
Elmorel was a strong minded business woman. She had large black eyes, curling black hair, strong features and dusky skin. Her curves were generous, and she emited a kind of earthy sensuality, a fullness, that draws people to her, particularly in a society where the colonists are still struggling to carve an existence in a strange land. Quick with a blade in self defence, Elmorel was rarely known to use it offensively.

Bio:
Elmorel came to the colonies as a young girl with her parents, who died in a typhoid outbreak five years later, and from the age of 12 had to fend for herself. An intelligent girl, she survived by quickly ingratiating herself with a local childless couple and working for them on the docks, where she quickly grew familiar with the merchants and their methods of trading, and in particular the trade of embroidered goods. When they eventually left the city, Elmorel, being a deft hand at sewing, started her own tailoring business. Over the following years, Elmorel began to add new creations of stunning gowns and tunics to her repertoire of hardy, well made, general clothing, as she became more creative and skilled. Elmorel still retained contacts in Halmoria for the purposes of trade until the declaration of independence, and was a valuable source of information from the homeland for the same reason. She had contacts within the nobility, and the upper echelons of the armed forces, who woo their women with Elmorel's fine silks, but she was the picture of discretion.
