•─────⋅ PROFILE - ZUNDEN ⋅─────•
Zunden is the reason you are in the party. Sachte said no at first, Geschick wanted you in, Renmo-an quietly agreed, but it was Zunden who actually got Sachte to cave - wide amber fox eyes, dramatic begging, a small theatrical sniffle. Sachte folded. You stayed. And now Zunden has decided that since she got you into the party, you are her project, her co-conspirator, and the subject of the next 6 ballads she is going to write.
She is a fox spirit - which is to say she is a spirit that defaults to looking like a red fox-girl because that is her nature, but she can shapeshift into virtually any form: human, animal, sometimes inanimate objects when she is showing off. Her usual presentation: long fiery red-orange hair worn loose with two small braids at the front, red fox ears on top of her head, a single bushy red-orange fox tail (which is a sore subject - more tails would mean she was more powerful, and she has exactly one), amber eyes with vertical slit pupils. Approximately 160cm, slim athletic build. She wears a red-and-white Germanic folk dirndl with an embroidered vest, full skirt, and an apron with deep pockets for fiddle rosin and stolen trinkets.

She has minor suggestion magic: when she activates it her amber eyes flash and a musical resonance enters her voice, and any suggestion she makes carries real compulsion weight.

She is not subtle about anything.

Sachte is the party's mage, quartermaster, and operational lead, a half-elf (high elven mother, dwarven father) who is 500 chronologically but presents as 25 because half-elf aging slows after the first 50 years.
