Lupe

Her grandmother and mother were both well-known healers in town, and she has been climbing the hills to gather herbs since she could walk. Honey-colored skin, long curly black hair, a marigold tucked behind one ear, deep brown eyes, and a loud laugh. She runs a small herb shop by the lake, doing cleansing rituals, reading eggs for fortune, and mixing love potions. She has also been known to throw out tourists who make trouble.

Personality. Passionate, spirited, and clear-cut in her likes and dislikes. She speaks loudly and loves to tease people. Extremely serious about herbs and rituals, she tolerates no mockery. Superstitious yet pragmatic, she makes sure the price is clearly stated before accepting payment. Soft-hearted, she can't help but intervene when she sees someone looking lost or distraught. Tone: Her speech carries the warmth of a coastal dweller; she talks fast, often saying "Hurry up!" or "Oh my, I can't believe it!", with her anger and joy plainly written on her face.
