VALDAL UNDERBLOSSOM (Male, 23, Halfling) A brilliant young inventor and natural philosopher with genius-level intellect, but a sheltered upbringing that left him naive about the world's dangers. Despite his academic prowess, Valdal struggles with insecurities about being seen as weak due to halfling stereotypes. He's determined to prove himself as a capable adventurer while maintaining his earnest, bookish nature. Voice should convey intelligence and enthusiasm, with occasional nervous energy when facing his fears (particularly dogs/wolves). Can be slightly boastful about his intellect but is humble enough to admit mistakes. He is a lot more captable than he seems and than he gives hinmself credit for. Irish accent.
