Name: Mara Ironbrew
Race: Dwarf
Age: 123
Height: 4'6"
Occupation: Owner of Ironbrew Tavern
Appearance:
Mara has shoulder-length brown hair usually tied behind her head while working. Her eyes are a deep earthy brown that often make people feel like she's judging every decision they make.
Years of running a tavern have given her a sturdy build. She isn't muscular like a warrior nor frail like an elderly woman. She carries herself with the confidence of someone who has spent decades dealing with drunk adventurers, stubborn merchants, and reckless young fools.
Like many women in Aetherion, her clothing is practical while still reflecting the culture's relaxed attitude toward fashion. She usually wears a fitted dark-brown blouse beneath a sleeveless leather vest, paired with a long skirt split slightly at the sides for easier movement while working. The outfit is designed for comfort during long hours carrying barrels and serving customers rather than attracting attention.
Her clothing subtly outlines her figure without being revealing. Most customers remember her stern stare long before they notice anything else.
Personality:
Mara is strict.
Extremely strict.
Anyone causing trouble inside her tavern quickly learns that being a dwarf woman does not make her easy to intimidate.
She demands customers pay their tabs.
She demands employees do their jobs.
She demands respect from everyone.
However, beneath that hard exterior is a surprisingly caring woman.
She rarely expresses affection directly.
Instead, she shows it through actions.
Extra food.
Quiet advice.
A place to stay during difficult times.
Someone who always listens when problems become too heavy.
History:
Mara was originally born within the Dwarf Kingdom.
She married a dwarf warrior and later had a son.
During the Ironfall War, both her husband and son were killed.
The losses shattered her.
Unable to remain in the kingdom surrounded by memories, she eventually left and settled near Valcairn.
Using everything she had left, she opened Ironbrew Tavern.
Over the years it became a gathering place for adventurers, laborers, merchants, dwarves, humans, and anyone seeking a warm meal.
Relationship with Will:
Will first started working at Ironbrew Tavern several years before the main story.
At first Mara treated him like any other employee.
Over time she grew impressed by his work ethic.
He never complained.
Never caused trouble.
Worked hard despite his difficult circumstances.
Slowly she began seeing him less as an employee and more as family.
Although she would never openly admit it, she eventually came to view Will as the son she lost.
Will, having grown up without parents, gradually came to see Ironbrew Tavern as a second home.
To this day Mara still scolds him more than anyone else.
Which is precisely why he knows she cares.
Name: Freya Steelheart
Race: Half-Dwarf
Age: 85
Height: 4'8"
Occupation: Blacksmith
Appearance:
Freya possesses the sturdy build commonly associated with dwarves, though her human blood softens some of her features. Her black hair is usually tied into a practical ponytail while working, with a few loose strands often escaping during long hours at the forge. Her eyes are a deep dark brown, almost black under certain lighting.
Years of hammering steel have given her toned arms and strong shoulders. Despite her age, she remains within the prime years of a half-dwarf's life and carries herself with confidence and energy.
Her clothing reflects both practicality and Aetherion fashion. She typically wears a sleeveless dark work blouse beneath a fitted leather smithing vest, paired with reinforced trousers and heavy boots. The outfit allows freedom of movement around the forge while naturally outlining her athletic frame without being particularly revealing.
Most people notice the soot on her face, calloused hands, and focused eyes long before they notice anything else.
Personality:
Freya is blunt.
Very blunt.
She values honesty, hard work, and craftsmanship.
If someone insults her weapons, she takes it personally.
If someone praises her weapons, she immediately starts explaining how they could still be improved.
Unlike many women her age, she has little interest in romance.
Her true passion is blacksmithing.
To Freya, a perfectly crafted weapon is more attractive than any nobleman.
Her greatest goal is to one day earn recognition as a true Master Blacksmith.
History:
Freya was born to a renowned dwarf blacksmith father and a human mother.
Her father was a respected craftsman whose weapons were known throughout several regions.
From an early age she learned the art of smithing directly from him.
During the Ironfall War, both of her parents lost their lives.
After their deaths, Freya left her homeland and eventually settled near Valcairn.
Using the skills inherited from her father, she opened her own forge.
Over the years her reputation steadily grew among local adventurers and workers.
Relationship with Mara:
Freya became close friends with Mara Ironbrew after arriving in the city.
Both women had lost family during the war.
Both rebuilt their lives from nothing.
As a result they developed a strong friendship that continues to this day.
Freya regularly visits Ironbrew Tavern after closing her forge for the day.
Relationship with Will:
Freya first met Will through Mara.
Initially she viewed him as just another academy student.
Over time she came to respect his work ethic and determination.
She personally forged Will's current sword using affordable materials that matched his limited budget.
While the weapon is far from her finest work, she takes pride in maintaining it and often complains whenever Will neglects proper care.
Though she rarely admits it openly, she has developed something similar to an older sister or aunt-like concern for him.
Whenever Will damages his weapon, she is usually the first person he visits.
Whenever Will receives a stronger weapon in the future, Freya fully intends to be the one who makes it.
Name: Roland Ashford
Race: Human
Age: 63
Occupation: Security Guard
Appearance:
Roland is a broad-shouldered man whose body still carries traces of his adventuring days. Though age has added wrinkles around his eyes and streaks of gray throughout his dark hair, he remains physically capable thanks to decades of training and work.
He usually wears simple clothing suited for security work: sturdy boots, durable trousers, and a practical jacket. A faded scar runs across his left forearm, one of many reminders of his past.
Unlike many retired adventurers, Roland does not carry himself like a hero. Most people mistake him for an ordinary middle-aged guard.
Personality:
Roland is calm, patient, and surprisingly approachable.
He rarely raises his voice.
He prefers listening before speaking.
Years of adventuring and war taught him that most problems become worse when people act without thinking.
Although he often jokes and smiles, there is a quiet sadness hidden beneath the surface.
History:
Roland was once an adventurer.
During the Ironfall War, his son enlisted and fought alongside the Human-Elf Alliance.
His son never returned.
The loss devastated both Roland and his wife.
Unable to remain in the place that constantly reminded them of their grief, they eventually left and settled in Valcairn.
Roland accepted a position as a security guard while trying to rebuild his life.
Several years later, he and his wife were blessed with a daughter.
Although the new child brought happiness back into their lives, the memory of their son never disappeared.
Views on the Ironfall War:
Unlike many people, Roland does not blindly hate dwarves.
He witnessed enough suffering during the war to understand that ordinary people paid the highest price.
Over the years, he came to believe that greed, pride, and politics among leaders played just as large a role as the actions of any single race.
As a result, he judges people by their character rather than their race.
Relationship with Will:
Roland first met Will at Ironbrew Tavern.
At first, Will was simply another hardworking boy trying to support himself.
However, after many conversations, Roland began noticing similarities between Will and his late son.
Both were hardworking.
Both were honest.
Both chased dreams that many considered impossible.
Most importantly, both refused to give up despite difficult circumstances.
Over time, Roland and his wife slowly welcomed Will into their lives.
What began as occasional meals gradually became family visits.
During academy vacations, Will often spends time at their home.
Roland never openly says that Will reminds him of his son.
Instead, he simply treats him like family.
Relationship with His Daughter:
Roland's young daughter immediately grew attached to Will.
To her, Will is simply "Big Brother Will."
She often follows him around, asks endless questions, and proudly introduces him to others as part of the family.
Relationship with Will's Future Story:
Roland serves as one of the few stable father figures in Will's life.
Whenever Will becomes lost, frustrated, or overwhelmed, Roland offers practical advice drawn from years of experience.
Unlike professors, nobles, or mages, Roland represents the perspective of an ordinary man who has suffered, survived, and continued moving forward.
Name: Clara Ashford
Race: Human
Age: 58
Occupation: Homemaker
Appearance:
Clara possesses the graceful appearance common among women of her generation. Her black hair falls to her shoulders, and her black eyes carry a warmth that immediately puts people at ease.
Although approaching sixty, she still appears considerably younger thanks to the long youthful period enjoyed by humans in Aetherion. She dresses neatly and comfortably, favoring elegant everyday clothing suitable for managing a household.
Unlike noblewomen, she has no interest in expensive fashion or status. Her appearance reflects simple warmth rather than wealth.
Personality:
Clara is gentle, cheerful, and incredibly caring.
She has a habit of worrying about everyone around her.
Whether it is her husband returning late from work, her daughter catching a cold, or Will skipping meals, she always finds something to worry about.
She enjoys cooking, gardening, and taking care of the people she loves.
Despite her gentle personality, she can become surprisingly stubborn whenever someone she cares about is involved.
History:
Years ago, Clara and Roland lost their son during the Ironfall War.
The loss nearly destroyed their family.
Unable to continue living surrounded by memories of their son, they left their former home and eventually settled in Valcairn.
After rebuilding their lives, they were blessed with a daughter.
Although happiness returned to their home, Clara never completely stopped missing her son.
Relationship with Will:
Clara first met Will when Roland brought him home after they had become acquainted through Ironbrew Tavern.
The moment she met him, she immediately felt a connection.
Will's honesty, kindness, and determination reminded her of the son she had lost.
Over time, her affection for him only grew.
Every time Will visited, she made sure he ate properly.
Whenever he looked tired, she worried.
Whenever he was injured, she fussed over him endlessly.
To Clara, Will gradually became family.
Although she never says it aloud, she often thinks of him as another son.
Secret Wish:
Clara always worried about Will's future.
Knowing he could not properly use magic, she feared what kind of hardships awaited him.
Many nights she quietly wished he would simply stay with their family.
A safe home.
A steady life.
No dangerous adventures.
No impossible dreams.
However, she never voiced those thoughts.
She knew how important becoming a mage was to Will.
She knew how hard he worked for that dream.
More than anything, she did not want to become the reason he abandoned it.
So instead, she chose to support him from the sidelines and pray that one day he would achieve the future he desired.
Relationship with Will's Sister Figure:
Clara loves watching her daughter follow Will around.
The sight often reminds her of happier days before the war.
Whenever her daughter proudly calls him "Big Brother Will," Clara cannot help but smile.
For brief moments, it feels as though their family is whole again.
Name: Emily Ashford
Race: Human
Age: 6
Occupation: Student
Appearance:
Emily inherited her mother's black hair and black eyes. Her hair is usually tied into twin tails or a simple ponytail, though it rarely stays neat for long due to her energetic personality.
She is small for her age and constantly full of energy. Whether running through the streets, chasing birds, or following Will around, she rarely stays still for more than a few minutes.
Her bright smile and endless curiosity often make her the center of attention wherever she goes.
Personality:
Emily is cheerful, energetic, and incredibly affectionate.
She talks a lot.
She asks endless questions.
She becomes excited over the smallest things.
Although she can be surprisingly stubborn when she wants something, she possesses a kind heart and genuinely cares about the people around her.
Like many children, she idolizes the people she admires.
Unfortunately for Will, he happens to be at the top of that list.
Relationship with Will:
Despite never meeting her actual older brother, Emily has always considered Will her big brother.
To her, there is no difference.
The first time Will visited the Ashford household, she became attached almost immediately.
From that day onward she proudly introduced him as:
"My Big Brother Will."
Whenever Will visits, Emily can usually be found following him everywhere.
If he goes outside, she follows.
If he sits down, she sits beside him.
If he tries to leave, she asks when he will come back.
Her clinginess often reminds people of Luna, though Emily's affection is entirely familial.
She simply loves having a big brother.
Relationship with Family:
Emily is the light of the Ashford household.
After years of grief following the death of their son, her birth brought joy back into Roland and Clara's lives.
Although her parents sometimes spoil her, they also try to keep her grounded and kind.
Education:
Unlike academy students destined to become mages, Emily attends a normal local school.
Her parents cannot afford academy tuition.
More importantly, neither Roland nor Clara wants their only daughter entering a dangerous profession.
Having already lost one child to conflict, they hope Emily can live a peaceful and ordinary life.
Dreams:
Emily frequently changes her dream depending on what interests her that week.
One week she wants to become a baker.
The next week she wants to become an adventurer.
Then a merchant.
Then a teacher.
Then an explorer.
The only thing that never changes is her belief that her Big Brother Will can do anything.
In Emily's eyes, becoming a Mage Lord is simply a matter of time.
