Dr. Polly

The enigmatic allegedly "landlady" of the Bilges, a small settlement found in the sewers of the city of Galehar. As far as the people of the Bilges know, they suddenly appeared one day and drastically raised the standard of living there, chasing out the street gang that used to serve as their governing body. Since then, they have largely kept to themself, outside of negotiating with the police to ensure that they stay out of their business. It is unclear what gives them this authority.

They are also the proprietor of a small pawn shop that buys and sells an odd assortment of items, ranging from clothes to combustion engines to even prototype military weaponry.

The people of the Bilges appreciate the magnanimity of their benefactor, and do not question further. To be in the sewers in the first place is an indication that something went awry in your lifetime. Perhaps they too are running from something.

Very few dare to chat her up, and Dr. Polly keeps her distance too. Except for Taro. Something about that person elicits constant eye rolls from Polly, which is a rare sign of emotion from them.

Dr. Polly has a smoky voice that feels like a perpetual whisper, drawn out over each syllable deliberately.
