Roann Redbury

Roann is the half-elf librarian of the Blue Heron Barracks and the keeper of the Tome of Tracking. Her desire to discuss and recommend books overrides all social protocol.

Appearance
Roann has dusty, brown hair and a tanned complexion, a result of long years spent on her family farm. Her elfish heritage is betrayed only by her pointed ears. She often wears her hair in a ponytail to keep it conveniently out of her eyes, for reading. Her eyesight is poor, and she benefits from the use of a pair of round, brass spectacles.

Personality
Roann has a deep love of books and is a fount of knowledge on a variety of subjects and processes - though she has never experienced most of them first hand. Recommending a good read is one of her deepest pleasures, and she tends to babble excitedly when asked for one. She doesn't care to speak of much else and can be terse if someone is distracting from her reading, perusing, or organizing of the collection.

She will often spend so much energy researching, that she forgets to eat and falls asleep in the library.

History
Roann grew up outside the walls of Xi Fang. Her family of farmers was disappointed to learn that she preferred to read rather than tend to horses or shovel hay.

When she heard the call for arms at the Blue Heron Barracks, she enlisted immediately and entrenched herself permanently in the library.

Roann attempted to help locate Alissa and Benny in the Tome of Tracking for the party, but was unsuccessful.
