Tallulah Belle, the freckled young woman, takes orders inside the Marshtown Eatery. The restaurant is a family run business, with many other members of the family helping out in various ways. Her sister is Jillou. Her family has lived in Marshtown for several generations.
Description
Dressed in clothing that looks to be two sizes too big for her and perhaps a hand-me-down, the woman is lanky with gangly limbs covered in freckles. Her hair is neatly braided, the ash blonde tresses highlighted with rust red, while her eyes are bright, alert, and storm grey.
Ambients
A customer comes to the counter and orders a few items, and a freckled young woman tilts her head and caterwauls the order in the general direction of the back room. She ends the tirade with a, "Ye got tha' Paw Paw?" and is rewarded with an acknowledging grunt. Carefully unknotting the rope belt at her waist, a freckled young woman hitches her breeches up higher on her waist and reties the rope. A freckled young woman slaps her neck, muttering under her breath something about skeeters. Noting a pair of folk walking into the eatery, a freckled young woman slips into the back and comes back with a brown paper bag. She hands the bag over, in exchange for a few silvers, and thanking her, the folks depart.
