History and Personality

Minimee was once an ordinary dwarven maiden, albeit one more ebullient than most. She was only 25 winters old and doing chores one day in the family mine when disaster struck. A trio of undead wights scrambled out of the darkness and attacked. Poor Minimee had only enough time to scream.

The dwarves responded rapidly to her cry. Their counterattack destroyed or repelled the wights, but Minimee was already pale and still.

Through heroic effort, the senior healer of the clan was able to keep her alive, but still she remained in a deep coma, still dying, still doomed. Minimee's grieving family was preparing a pyre to burn her corpse and prevent her from returning as a wight, but then she snapped awake and claimed that she had spent the entire time taking tea with a strange goddess with strange eyes who called herself Wee Jas. The dwarves were initially unwilling to believe her, but they could not deny that her warm brown eyes had turned dark red during her deathlike sleep.

Minimee spent several years recovering, and she never did regain the strength she had previously enjoyed. She spent all that time sending away for and studying the doctrine and worship of the goddess who had apparently saved her from the curse of undeath. When she turned 35 and felt she had recovered enough, she applied to become a novice of the church of the Stern Lady and was accepted.

Seeming

Minimee looks like a fat crow. She waddles; there is no other word that better describes how she gets from one place to another. Over her black garments she wears a suit of very light yet strong black chain mail. Almost the only colorful thing she wears is a belt the hue of drying blood. It matches the color of her eyes.

Her early near-undeath experience and the long time she spent bedridden have left visible marks on Minimee. She is shorter than any other adult dwarf in the clan, and her brown hair is already graying. Her arms and legs are disturbingly thin for a dwarf. Her gait is unsteady, and her hands tremble visibly all the time, reducing her fine motor control.

Despite her obvious physical shortcomings, Minimee Pinn still has a strong personality, an aura of power and assurance, especially when she speaks. Her contralto voice is clear and can be compelling.

She smells of incense and talcum powder.

Behavior

Though her eyes are crimson, Minimee does not see the world through a red haze. Instead, everything looks a little gray and gloomy. She recalls her younger self, a dwarf who used to laugh at jokes and sing, and it is almost as if she were a stranger.

Family and honor and duty are dwarven values that still matter much to Minimee, but her cheer and love of life are gone, replaced by biting sarcasm and a cold and burning desire to master death and magic and bring order to both the living and the dead. What happened to her must never happen again.

It worries her sometimes that she does not remember anymore when she became this way.

While she permits friends, family, and fellow party members to call her by her first name, Minimee sometimes falls prey to bouts of excruciating formality. This is especially true when she is in the presence of any other clerics. At such times, she insists on being called Sister Pinn.
