Many people who are interested in D&D are also fans of Japanese Anime (I`m
one of them). A while back I asked for some help in naming two such
characters. While I`m still deciding on what name(s) to use I thought I
would share what I`ve done.

Note - these people are analogues of their inspirations not exact copies.

Note - Several of Mini-May`s skills come from a supplement from Bastion
press called "Alchemist and Herbalist", While her "Armored Robe" comes from
their "Arms and Armor" supplement

Notes: Based on Rally Vincent of "Gunsmith Cats" This woman is the Daughter
of a Anurian merchant and a Khinasi Sailing Captain. Her Father (the
Captain) has been missing for several years, due to suspected pirate
activity. She earns her living running a special shop (Swordsmith Cats)
with her partner (Mini May Thompson). Her part of the operation deals with
the sell and manufacture of blades, arrows and bows. With her partner she
also works as a bounty hunter (the shop provides steady work, but a good
bounty can really help the bottom line). Note she only takes bounties on
criminals, she is NOT an assassin and will get VERY upset if someone implies
that she is a member of that profession.

Notes:
Based on Mini-May from Gunsmith Cats she is a cousin of Arch-Duke Aeric of
Boruine. As she shares her inspirations liking of the opposite sex
(although she has not worked in the "oldest profession") the fact that she
resides in the Imperial city and does not often contact the rest of her
family gives him great peace of mind.

She does have a talent for alchemy (max skill points for her level and a
skill focus) and prefers to carry as much alchemical offensive power as
possible

Her share of the stores operations provides all the alchemical substances
listed in the Players Handbook
