Zali Elen

Zali Elen (a.k.a. Genius)

"I can't begin to tell you how frustrating it is. Those Amberwood folk mean well, but honestly, they have no clue when it comes to actual genius. I've tried everything from bribes to my natural charisma, and they simply refuse to budge. So one dryad gets annoyed at me for taking a little sap from her tree. Suddenly I'm not allowed anywhere near the forest. The fragrance I created was amazing. They say the Empress herself covets it. How is Cadash supposed to experience my creations when some silly tree huggers refuse to allow me a little walk in the forest from time to time?"

- Zali discussing his agonies with a fellow perfumer

Mental characteristics

Employment

Owner and operator of a small perfume shop in Spring Blossom called "The Zali Experience". He sells his own creations, when he can be bothered to work on them. He does well enough from selling a bottle or two every couple months to wealthy noble house and the duchess' courtiers.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Zali is considered one of the most impressive perfumers in all of Spring Blossom. His creations are amazing, and often sell for outlandish sums of money. Because of his skill he is a key member of the perfumer community.

Failures & Embarrassments

His shop, "The Zali Experience" is a bit of a joke. It is rarely open, and when it is, Zali is usually no where to be found. Locals often use the name a jest, replacing "when hell freezes over" with "when The Zali Experience open's its door".

Personality Characteristics

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Zali is very friendly and curious. He will talk to just about anyone, and even if you don't care for him too much, he doesn't let that get in the way of a bit of gossip. He is also one of the best perfume creators in all of Reluria.
Unfortunately Zali is a busybody who gets bored quickly. He also doesn't trust anyone else to help him create or market his fragrances. He insists he is a key component of "The Zali Experience" and that his customers love him as much as they love his work. Because of this, his business isn't taken seriously by any of the other perfumers in the town.

Social

Contacts & Relations

Is happily married to Elis Panros for nearly 10 years. Zali will often spring to his husband's defense when folk speak of the Legate in a negative way.

Family Ties

The Elen family has a peach orchard near Spring Blossom. Zali's three sisters enjoy visiting their little brother, and love redecorating the Keep. His parents are comparatively quiet compared to their boisterous children. They really like Elis, and feel the Legate is a good compliment to their son. However they are wary of Elis' possible connections to the Amberwood Commune.
