Geenafwee "Grackle" Nackle [D&D]

Think Dragonlance kender. Except traditional D&D universe as a tinker-gnome. Class: Rogue.Insanely curious. Loves shiny things, animals, "pretty" things, and has the strangest eating habits ever. Has an almost dwarven loathing/fear of water (perhaps the only thing she's afraid of), but also has an intense/insane desire to fly like her pet grackle.

Her name, or the short version of it, is Geenafwee "Grackle" Nackle. So her nickname is Grackle. Her grackle's name, incidentallly, is Geenafwee.

She's a chaotic neutral gnome, 5th level rogue, who worships the deity Olidammara. She's 58 years old, 3'3", weighs 40 pounds. Cobalt-blue eyes, red-gold hair, oakwood-brown skin. But her clothes are the best part. I gave her the explorer's outfit because it had the most pouches. It's mostly leather and durable cloth, a few layers and lots of pockets, a cloak and all. She wears +1 studded leather armor. Also wears "silent shoes", shoes made for silence (though apparently not magical). Nothing particularly unusual there.

Except for the rainbow-colored scarf - think "Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat" colorful. And she has a fez on her head. With a big colorful ostrich feather. And she wears a silver tiara covered in colorful glass "stones".

Grackle has no fashion sense!

What's usually on her person is the abovementioned clothing, but also a signal whistle, an ocarina, masterwork thief's tools, a +1 ring of protection, a +1 hand crossbow, finger blades (for cutting peoples' pursestrings), a quiver scabbard (holds her bolts and her +1 dagger), fish hooks, a magnifying glass (always good for more closely examining things), and a glass cutter (good for getting into peoples' houses).

And then there's all the stuff she keeps on her mule Neverslip. Some practical stuff, like her masterwork artisan's tools (she has a 10 skill modifier in alchemy craft... as well as a 8 skill modifier in trapmaking craft...), her disguise kit, bedroll, bullseye lantern, etc; but also various... other things. A mirror. Two thunderstones ("they make BOOM noises!!"). Flotation bags (so she doesn't drown). Marbles ("shiny!" "pretty!" and they don't hurt the horses' feet like caltrops). A periscope. A butterfly net. Three sets of spider poles (think bigger, stronger tinker-toys). Stilts ("so I can see what everyone's lookin' at")...

And then there's her... diet. First the typical stuff, like trail rations. But trail rations are dry! Not much flavor. So she has lots of... spices and additives. Like 5 pounds of sugar. 1 pound of garlic. Over a pound of mustard seed ("good for keeping out vampires"). 4 oz of licorice root. A full pound of horseradish. Half a gallon of molasses. Five pounds of salted herring.
