Than you to everyone who participated in the Knights of the Braille Character Jam 2023. Our winner is Shannon, who has been gifted a PDF of the accessible TTRPG Wanderhome. Without further ado, who is Shannon’s entry below.

Physical Characteristics

While most humans put considerable effort into appearing unique with exotic hairstyles and face paint I work everyday at appearing to be average and unnoticeable.  I prefer to blend into the crowd and be forgettable. If you were to pass me on the street, I would look like a middle aged woman with fair skin, green eyes and auburn hair which is always tied back or tucked into a hat.

My Home

I was born in Widdershins, a small city located in the southeast of Knottenhare.  Knottenhare is a city famous for its bardic colleges.  And graduates from those colleges head into the world, bringing laughter and sometimes tears to those around them.  Being from a family of artisans who celebrate the god Deneir, we are raised with the idea that the universe is more beautiful with art.  Art comes in many forms and I am drawn to those that can spark emotion through entertainment.

My Life

I always dreamed of being an entertainer but my family frowns on this.  My mother does not believe this career choice is sustainable and you cannot raise a family on the potential to earn a gold piece.  Which is in stark contrast to everything I have been taught. I spend my days at the docks, working as a clerk at a shipping house.  That job gives me a reason to be there at night when the market opens. The night market is my stage, where I wear a disguise and use my talents to awe crowds with sleight of hand and stage magic tricks.  The disguise protects my identity and keeps my mother unaware of what I am doing. While I am not rich with coins, I am rich in spirit.
