Bio

The seventh of seventh children, Winnifred is the youngest of the extensive Quick family empire, based on Ironpiece. The Quick empire is responsible for three quarters of the space hamster market in Bralspace, having started modestly in the areas around Hamlet on Ironpiece and expanding as Winn’s siblings grew up and took off with breeder hamsters to other planets. With the hamster ranch being run by her eldest brother, and the neighboring hamster dairy taken over by her eldest sister, Winn’s hopes of ekeing out a spot in the family business have long since been proven fruitless.

At a loss for what to do with her life (and realizing that cleaning up giant hamster poop wasn’t really that appealing, in retrospect), Winn decided to cash out part of her share (small as it was) of the empire to fund her wanderlust. She spent years travelling from asteroid to planet to asteroid in Bralspace, finally resting for a while on the Rock of Bral. Intrigued by the idea of magic, she took up with the mage guild there and was surprised to learn her talents lay in summoning magics.

She stayed as long as her money would allow, learning every bit of everything she could soak up. She posted on the hire board as often as she could bring herself to do magical scut work for a pittance, but those pittances helped prolong her education for another year. When the money ran out, she hired herself and her eidolon out on whatever shuttles and ships would take them. It was still scut work, but had the benefit of being scut work that let her see the universe.
