Teller Elizabeth "Izzy"

Teller Izzy is a Human Monk. She is 5’5” tall, slender, with self-described "eyes like Christmas". She travels with a very large goat companion named Captain Ron. She wears three sashes which she embroiders with her history.

Early Life
Izzy was likely born sometime between the years 746 and 761. Izzy was raised in the north of the eastern continent of Espera at an orphanage. She then joined a monastery for 8 years. She does not know her parents, but knows that she has many sisters, only two of which she corresponds with. She met the first elf who ever lived. She joined the Tellers. She recently had a bad encounter with goblins.

Destiny's Children
In the year 776, Teller Izzy came to Kazakhan Spire to learn and document.

Personality
Teller Izzy seems to be fascinated with the world and very open minded to the eventual downfall of her organization.

Speculation: May pray to Jangus (as a Teller, she is interested in recording secrets), Nostradormu (as a Teller, documentation is just sharing knowledge across time), Nylos (as a Teller, she is invested in the recording and spreading of knowledge), and/or Photion (as a monk, she must will herself to overcome obstacles).

Teller Izzy can speak Goblin. She also has proficiency with cards (as of Session 3).

Allies
Teller Izzy was fascinated with Mario the first time she met him, and energetically wrote down all of the noises he used to communicate with her. There was a brief misunderstanding between the two, where she said she was delighted after Mario introduced himself with his classic roar and thought that Izzy's name was "Delighted".

Captain Ron is willing to travel with Teller Izzy.

Rue was relieved to hear Teller Izzy tell Destiny's Children not to kill one of the men from Bellingham that was travelling with Rue.

Blayne Davies taught her some card tricks.
