Well, there's Nel (born Eleanor Corindane, to upper middle class parents, to wom she's a VAST disappointment.) She spends half of her time studying magic (with lots of spell components) and the other half as a cook at the local inn. Usually she keeps the two straight, but she adapts all of her spell brews to try to make them taste very good, and some odd things happen to the customers at the Inn. They still keep coming back for more, though, because when she's cooking, the food is amazing. There was this gnome who was VERY angry about the hair on her breasts. . . .

Nel looks fairly fragile, but she has the arms of a cook, and a tongue like a chef's knife when the need arises. She has short dark hair, huge dark eyes, and long fingered hands, (beaten all to hell by cooking, but gorgeous). Oh, and did I mention that her magical familar somehow wound up being this skink named Spaw??

There's Tiel Hawkglyn, a priestess at the temple who has a gorgeous soprano voice. She seems to have a very strong and promising link to the goddess. However, she has an incredible bent for practical jokes at the worst possible moment. She's a big woman, strong, round, and beautiful and with an amazing laugh that fills the entire dining room (or sanctuary.)
