Author's Note: Gothica is the world to use if you wish to play dark and gritty adventures in a setting of hopeless despair. It's a world where the fate of civilization hangs in the balance. Will you try and be a beacon of light in the darkness, or further condemn the realm to chaos. W.I.P. More locations, NPCS, and monsters coming soon!

appearance
Janessa is a 5' 6" Half-Elf with wild black hair, and dark tan skin. She has deep green eyes that show her sorrow. She rarely smiles and tends the inn with a determined frown. She likes to dress in Elvin tailored forest green colored clothes. She is also very fond of silver and wears it when ever she can.
personality
Janessa does a very fine job running her inn. But she is a very melancholy woman that can be hard to connect with. She shows very little emotion and keeps every one at a distance. She writes morose poems and some nights you might catch her singing a sad ballad. If Dravenburg is under threat Janessa becomes relentless to stop it. In such situations her rage will often cloud her reason.
backstory
Many years ago during a full moon night Janessa Hallowtree was on the road to Dravenburg with her husband and young daughter. They were attacked by a werewolf. Janessa only managed to escape because the beast was too focused on slaughtering her family. She moved into her Husband's family home and eventually fixed it up turning it into an inn. Every full moon leaves Janessa haunted by the bitter loss of her husband and daughter. Hence the name Bitter Moon Inn. She sets aside silver and melts it down crafting a silver weapon arsenal to help equip those who would combat the lycanthrope threat that plagues Gothica.
