IC INFORMATION
Echo Name: Althaea
Personality: Very friendly and warm and kind, but incredibly shrewd and a terrifyingly excellent judge of character. Very sneaky and excellent at hiding in places. She is inspired by folklore of house/kitchen spirits and the Kitchen God of Taoist legend- she herself was once a house spirit and observed the families of the house she occupied, affecting their fortune as she deemed fit depending on how well the family gets along. She is kind to those who get along well with others and just have a good attitude in general, and cold to... well, jerkasses. She generally wants everyone to get along though, so she will try to encourage people to be nice where she can, regardless of your attitude. She's very motherly and generous, which... comes off rather strangely, considering she's physically like. Sixteen or so. (If you want more info on house spirits and the like, here's the wiki article about the Kitchen God, and check out Seconds by Bryan Lee O'Malley, which prominently features a house spirit!)
What sort of games do you plan on running?: Althaea will never run trauma games, to get that out of the way; however, she will mostly run exploradoras and I had an idea for a kind of game that might be interesting to try- sort of like a puzzle game, but with cooking, and the end product isn't the only deciding factor in winners! She will do mostly games that test teamwork, and she will not reward teams whose members do not get along with each other.
Echo Realm: A huge, open herb farm in a mountain valley. Herbs of every kind, neat but lush, grow in rows and patches that stretch for at least an acre. On one edge, backed by thin pine forests along the slope of the valley, stands a small, cozy cottage where Althaea resides. If one were to look inside, they would find it to be very rustic, with sparse decorations apart from the bundles of herbs hanging from string like a garland from the rafters. The well-stocked kitchen features an old-fashioned, cast-iron stove and fire-worn copper pots hanging on the wall, and in the corner is a small bed, piled with afghans and old, ratty quilts that still look very warm. Outside the cottage is a somewhat large yard that also runs alongside the herb patches; there is a seating area around a fire pit with level tree stumps for chairs, and there always seems to be enough stumps for everyone visiting minus one- Althaea always prefers the ground.
