Physical Description:
Taza is a lean young woman with dark skin and curly hair. She has tattoos on her upper arms, a tradition she picked up from her Thanati mother. She has a lot of pockets where she keeps various herbs and seeds. She also carries a bag of gardening tools wherever she goes, as well as a flower pot containing chamomile- she's become addicted to her own tea.

Personality:
Taza Faah is a down to earth, business-minded young lady. Her mother taught her that manners and etiquette are everything, and she tries her hardest to follow her example. She does, however have a bit of a cruel side. She keeps it on the down low though, and her mean-spirited jabs at people often are masked in faux politeness- most people don't realize they're being insulted until hours afterwards.

Taza is interested in botany and chemistry, and runs Hildegarde's drug trade under the cover of being a florist. She's especially interested in the effects of addiction on the human body, and will sometimes slip people experimental drugs for no reason other than to see what happens.

Taza enjoys gardening, finding it to be a great way to decompress after a long day.

Relationships:
Randal Barlow is Taza'a protege. She sees him as the little brother she never had, and does her best to keep him safe. He brings out the best in her, and the two are almost never seen apart.

Hildegarde Von Musel is Taza's boss and best friend. The two girls will spend hours together talking about chemistry- a passion they both share.

Magic/Abilities:
Taza has an interesting magic ability- any edible plant she grows is highly addictive. The plants will retain this property if used as ingredients, making it incredible easy for her to get somebody hooked on multiple plants at once. For example, if Taza made you spaghetti with tomato sauce using ingredients she has grown herself, you would become addicted to the wheat in the pasta as well as the tomatoes and basil in the sauce.

Withdrawal symptoms caused by her plants include extreme nausea, pounding headaches, vertigo, uncontrollable shaking, blurred vision, anxiety, insomnia, tightness in the chest, difficulty breathing and- in extreme cases- hallucinations.

Taza's gardening trowel is very sharp, and it's her go-to weapon for when she needs to defend herself. She also has a handheld crossbow, but her aim is beyond sub-par- if she tried to shoot somebody at point blank range, she'd still manage to miss her mark.

Taza owns a pair of Magigoggles- an eyepiece that allows her to see magic more clearly.

History:
Taza Faah grew up in Zantaric, and learned the ins and outs of the drug trade at an early age- her parents were opium dealers. When she was nine years old, she witnessed a penniless addict kill himself in a desperate attempt to to quell the withdrawal symptoms he was experiencing. This fascinated Taza to no end, and she kind of wanted to see it happen again.

Taza was fourteen when she discovered her powers. She wanted to start growing her own herbs so she could sell them, but accidentally got addicted to her own chamomile when she decided to make tea with it. She was ecstatic when she realized the odd illness she had gotten was in fact the result of drug withdrawal- she finally understood the compulsion and risk taking that addiction brought. Realizing that this would only help her gain loyal customers, she began selling her herbs to people anyway.

When Taza was eighteen she met an upstart gangster named Hildegarde. The two hit it off immediately, and they became fast friends. When Taza's parents were murdered by a rival dealer, it was Hildegarde who caught the man and allowed Taza to exact revenge- the man killed himself a few days after Taza force fed him thyme she had grown.

When Hildegarde asked Taza to lead her narcotics team, she accepted the offer eagerly- anything to help her best friend.

Physical Description:
Randall Barlow was malnourished when he was younger, but you wouldn't be able to tell that from how he looks now. He's currently very healthy, and his height and weight are average for a child his age. His dark brown hair is usually covered in soil, as is the rest of his body. His hands and knees are calloused, and Randal can't remember the last time he didn't have dirt under his nails. He wears a simple brown tunic- he doesn't own any other clothes.

Personality:
Randal is very much an average eleven year old boy. He can be brash and impulsive at times, but for the most part he's fairly cheery and well-adjusted. Randal can be surprisingly cunning and deceptive when he wants to be, something he's had to pick up living in Zantaric. He doesn't let the fact that he helps sell people addictive drugs bother him too much- he actually identifies as a "bad guy". His life used to be a lot worse, and he's thankful every day for the second chance he's been given.

Randal likes marbles, and he carries his set around with him when he travels. He likes to collect them, and some of the ones he has are really cool!

Relationships:
Randal owes his life to Taza Faah, and would do anything to make her happy. Currently he's working as her apprentice, and spends the majority of his days doing odd jobs for her. She sometimes makes him take dangerous drugs, but he's always able to get rid of their effects- and hey, it could be worse, right?

Magic/Abilities:
Randal can transfer the effects of any drug he's currently on- including the addiction- to another person via touch. He can also transfer the effects of medicine and poison this way, but he rarely does this- medicine is expensive, and poison is really risky.

Interestingly enough, he can pass these effects onto beings that wouldn't normally be susceptible to such things. This can have interesting effects, for example if he gave a golem a cocaine addiction, that golem would drop it's current task in order to find more of the drug.

History:
Randal had a rough childhood. Born into slavery, he was separated from his biological mother at the age of two. He was sold from slave owner to slave owner, with most being unsure of what to do with him, or simply unwilling to train a child as young as he was. Finally, at age six, he was sold to somebody who had use for him- a warlock named Thurmond Pippenhollow.

Randal doesn't talk much about his time with Thurmond, but what little he has said suggests that he was horrifically abused. He apparently learned how to use his powers while in captivity, but all that Randal will say is that "Thurmond taught me". It took four years for him to be rescued...

Enter Taza and Hildegarde. Hildegarde didn't like Thurmond for beating her in a game of blackjack, so she decided to raid his warlock tower and steal his stuff. Taza liked hanging out with Hildegarde, and offered to come with her- a bad girl's night out, if you will. They managed to trick Thurmond into thinking he had a date, and sneaked into his tower while he was away. Everything went smoothly until they reached the nineteenth floor of the tower, where they found Randal slumped against the wall of a cage, high on hallucinogens. Taza decided that they couldn't leave him there, so she carried him all the way back to Zantaric. Hildegarde stayed behind and waited for Thurmond to return- there are lines one simply doesn't cross.

Taza managed to help Randal recover, and he's turned out surprisingly okay. They now live together, and Taza is training Randal to use his powers to help Hildegarde.
