First Mate Hize
The Childish Accountant
First Mate Hize A.
Hize is an expert in all things numerological, mathematical, or spatial. She knows Pi to 3 places, can balance a checkbook, and knows her lucky number is 6 because that's how many front-toes she has. Hize is also a socially awkward, easily distracted, hyper child-like kobold, and that's wherein lies the rub.
Hize has gotten a job aboard Leonard's Arrow, working for the Fifth Castowan Retinue as the crew-management officer.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Hize is 3 and a half feet tall, perfectly healthy, and has a wicked bite and legs that go 66 mph.
Body Features
Hize has soft, pliable and easily removed pale red and dark brown scales, bright orange eyes, and three sets of slightly misaligned teeth. It is said that only New World kobolds have three rows of teeth, and they are generally more straight than hers.
Facial Features
Hize has a round face with eyes set more to the side than most kobolds (which also look slightly blurred), and a spotty pattern of dark brown scales all over. Her skin on her face looks more rubbery.
Identifying Characteristics
Hize's spot pattern is rather distinctive; it follows the Fibbonacci sequence as it spirals out from the middle of her back, becoming more speckled and less deep as it strays from the center.
Physical quirks
Hize is, like most kobolds, ambidextrous, and walks balancing on her tail. She skips often, and has to crane her neck upwards often in conversations.
Apparel & Accessories
Hize wears a simple red robe with a hood and sash, which she tucks her abacus and scrolls into.
Specialized Equipment
Hize always carries an abacus with her; the abacus has two columns, and 21 rows. The abacus has a leather cover, seems to be deerskin, that holds the beads in place for travel purposes.

Accomplishments & Achievements
Managed to get a ghost to sign her reference sheet.
Mental Trauma
Hize is afraid of heights, but there's no origin behind it beyond how small she is, and being intimidated by the helplessness of being so high up.
Intellectual Characteristics
Hize has an incredible sense for the spatial dimensions and mathematics, and oddly enough in linguistics despite her odd method of speech; she is simply too excited and fast to talk properly, only in writing, and doesn't understand personal pronouns as her native tongue has none. She suffers in the fields of social and musical skills, along with logic, however.
Morality & Philosophy
Hize believes that numbers tell the truth, and that there's always a calculation that will show the truth in the situation, even if it doesn't quite make sense in a logical way. She can perform math quickly naturally, and had done so from birth; clearly it's a sign that numbers will show her how to live her life.
Taboos
She covers her ears at the sound of swearing and crude discussion, and is much too pure for anything beyond nose rubbing, hand holding, and headpats.
Personality Characteristics
Savvies & Ineptitudes
She has an incredible skill with numbers, and despite her being generally noisy and socially inept, can often learn many secrets she really shouldn't know by simply having a quiet moment for once. Her childishness makes the information she obtains a bit unreliable, however.
Likes & Dislikes
Hize loves numbers and math, geometry, sugar, and meats; she also loves paper, her ability to read, and talking to people. Hize hates manual labor, heights, and vegetables.
Virtues & Personality perks
Hize has quick reflexes, a knack for trap construction and disarming, and the ability to do complex math quickly.
Vices & Personality flaws
Hize is incredibly impatient and jumps to assumptions quickly about things she could do to help the situation, and her thinking doesn't always line up with what's going on.
Personality Quirks
Hize has a habit of running off near-instantly in conversations, using math to prove her point in odd ways, and counting various things for entertainment; such as the nostril hairs of the other conversant.
Hygiene
Hize generally keeps herself clean, and is rather orderly through one simple trick: she refuses to use an entire room. If given a room to herself, she'll take up only one corner of it, and keep all her stuff in that corner, forming one dirty region and leaving the rest of the room spotless.
Social
Family Ties
Hize has an incredibly large family of several swarms of brothers and sisters. She is one of the eldest, and the only one to receive a formal education. She has thirty sisters, and forty brothers. As with most Kobolds, she is raised by the entire tribe, resulting in twenty moms and twenty dads.
Religious Views
Creche of Syll initiate, First-Sash.
Social Aptitude
Hize is extroverted to a fault, as she has no concept of social norms or boundaries. She acts as overly excited as a toddler when talking to someone, and gets carried away quickly in topics she cares about, while zoning out with ones she doesn't.
Mannerisms
Hize often bounces in place excitedly or scampers around on her clawed feet at rapid speeds, and often talks with her hands.
Hobbies & Pets
Hize is unsure what hobbies she has, as she has been unable to explore them due to constantly looking for a job, food, and sources of disposable income. She has always been interested in trying horseback riding, but the horses are too tall for her.
Speech
Hize speaks entirely in third person, and commonly refers to people by two-syllable nicknames or color-codes. She has a rather loud and optimistic voice, and never swears.
Wealth & Financial state
Hize has very little to her name, only a few gold and silver coins. She doesn't really need much money however, as she has a habit of procuring anything she needs from crafty sources. This is most definitely not thievery.
She has student loans, which she hopes to be able to pay off.
Hize's abacus is technically a soroban, a Japanese variation of an abacus that is much more advanced.
Hize's here to do math and make friends...

I solemnly swear Hize will not die unless the players do something to cause her death directly.
