Josephine "Fifi" Silvandrolt
Josephine Silvandrolt (a.k.a. Grandma Fifi)
Josephine Silvandrolt is one of the last dwarves who can trace her lineage back to the original dwarvish blacksmiths during the age of great works, and she claims some of that great talent. Her pieces are incredibly fine, to the point of inspiring awe even among kobolds and goblins. She chooses to spend her time as the local blacksmith of the small village of Moonbright, and has formed close relationships with the Shadowstalker family, particularly the two daughters: Rebecca and Mirielle. Though she's hard-working and stern, she has a motherly air about her, and often plays the role of adopted grandmother to many of the village's children.

Personal history
Josephine has been through a lot with her long lifespan. Not only has she spent her whole life working as a blacksmith, but she was born during The Dark Age of Men, during which she was essentially a slave to a big Red Dragon named Rik'ki'thal, and during that time she was forced to make countless pieces for the angry dragon, after which he'd fly them off to wherever he kept them. This lasted until she was 220 years old, at which point, the dragons disappeared. She had yearned to travel at that point, but her mother and father both fell ill at that time, and she being their only child, had to stay with them and let them die in peace, after which, she was content to stay settled in the small community that had formed there. She was able to watch as the land grew with development, and the forces of men united under a single banner, calling themselves the Fesden Empire. During this time of the Fesden Empire, she established herself as the kind, but firm blacksmith of the village, and it was only a short time later when a handsome dwarf had left the big cities and decided to settle in Moonbright. It wasn't long before they were married, and had 5 children. These children all inevitably moved away from Moonbright. She was content with that, as she wanted her children to live a better life than she had. It was in following years still that her husband perished from disease. Josephine decided to throw herself into her work to overcome the sadness of losing her husband, but life would continue to be cruel to her, as her eldest son and his wife would die in a bandit attack, and their two sons would then be sent to live with Josephine. It was a couple years later, once her grandsons were around the ages of 7 and 9 years old, when the Shadowstalker family began to grow close to her, and she finally had a bit of joy as she saw the two Shadowstalker girls become good friends with her grandsons.
