Borris Fanchuckle

Appearance
Perhaps the most delightful part of the Twelvetrees Inn is the whimsical man of the manor himself, Borris Fanchuckle. He’s a wizened gnome, about 3.5ft high, but nonetheless one of the brightest and biggest personalities in the town. Wearing a smart emerald green waistcoat and billowing trousers, he’s easily distinguishable despite his small stature. His beard (which he feels is one of his best features) is adorned with small summer flowers and gems of every colour and is long enough to be tucked comfortably in his belt.

Crushing Loneliness
When you get to know Borris, you’ll come to realise that despite his cheerful exterior, he is actually terribly lonely. His wife died 16 years earlier and to deal with his loss he sold his belongings and retired to Neverholme, where he then won the Inn from some Dwarves in a game of cards. The Inn keeps him busy enough to feel happy, but he still longs for someone to call family.

Evidence of this can be seen in the occasional personal advertisements he posts on the town bulletin board, looking for a lovely wife to call his own. Despite the promise of "wine and nibbles" he's yet to have anyone take him up on his offer.
