Basics
Pemble is a prickly mousefolk that cares only for herself. She travels the world endlessly, seeking to gather knowledge and use it to her benefit - and maybe help people along the way, but that's never the priority. She enjoys cooking and is extremely snobby about food in general, and is not afraid to share her opinion on it (and everything). That being said, she is very tactful and knows how to navigate many cultures, often coasting on her inherent adorableness.

About
Pemble was born smack dab in the middle of a large mousefolk family with eleven older siblings and eleven younger siblings. She always resented being one of many and wanted to break free of the familial setting, often acting out in destructive ways to garner attention. When this failed, she walked out of town and never looked back.
Ever since leaving home Pemble has kept on the move, always with a new destination to learn all that she can of its culture and history. Fittingly she fell into the service of Fharlanghn and picked up on cleric duties in order to keep herself healthy on the open road. She does not, in fact, like to heal others (or help in any fashion). While she enjoys absorbing all the information she can receive of different peoples and places she only uses it when she has to in order to get what she wants more easily. She detests dealing with people she sees as beneath her - which, despite her height, is everyone. Pemble has become accustomed to being on her own and refuses to believe her course of action can ever be wrong.
Cooking for herself on the road has made her a practiced chef, and she often will incorporate techniques from the many cultures she's studied into her cooking. As a result she rarely will stomach food she deems tasteless and will often aggressively season meals she is served without worrying about offending the chef.
pre-campaign
While travelling the world as a cleric of Fharlanghn Pemble made a few acquaintances within the religion, generally ones who were equally enthused with learning. Pemble came across one of these acquaintances murdered with a hidden note asking the reader to keep something from falling into the wrong hands. It was a large tome with spells and rituals for hideous dark magic. Pemble, who firmly believed in the preservation of knowledge, opted to find a home for the tome. The instant she started travelling with it, however, she found herself pursued by a mysterious group of necromancers known simply as the Harvesters. After many close calls with them she realized that the magic contained within the book had no right to be used by anyone, and she instead focused on finding something or someone who could destroy it.
Pemble later came across a forgotten construct sitting abandoned in an old lab, a set of armor that called itself Lezaford, after the name in a journal left nearby. Pemble allowed Lezaford to travel with her as he sought answers to his past, however the Harvesters began to threaten him as well and Pemble set off alone one day when Lezaford was meditating, leaving the two of them alone once more.
post-campaign
Lezaford found Pemble again at the Parsantium Festival of Flowers which he knew she attended every year. Once the two reunite Pemble decides to let Lezaford know about the Harvesters and her book, and they again decide to travel together. Once they find Lezaford's true home, a city called Nexus, the two part ways on good terms. Pemble goes back to her usual wandering.
Relationships
Melelani [ party member ]
Occasional party member, and the one she hates the least - but only barely, on account of Mel's constant singing and general clatter. She appreciates that Mel can keep their mutual party member Anmael under control so as to keep her from meddling in everyone's (Pemble's) affairs.
Punica [ party member ]
Pemble finds Punica to have a fair amount of sense, but also to be extremely overbearing. She wishes Punica would stop trying to rein Anmael in, as it tends to make things worse.
Aliaga [ party member ]
Wary of her, as some of her experiments have been used by the Harvesters that have been hunting Pemble down. Other than that, finds her to be extremely ditsy and unprofessional about her research.
Anmael [ party member ]
FRUSTRATION
Barnaby [ brother ]
One of Pemble's many young siblings, and one of the only ones who actively tried to get along with her. He is inspired by Pemble's defiance of general mousefolk culture and follows in her pawsteps by leaving the nest as soon as he is old enough to. While he shares her love of knowledge, he prefers sharing it with the world. Pemble finds him to be unbearable, but everyone openly prefers him to her. Rightfully so.
Professor Rafferty [ ??? ]
They'd get along, unfortunately.
