Deciding I've run out of time today, I'll do a Fantasy Trip character. Rennor gets her "looks like armor" clothing from Keze Briarlegs. He is introduced briefly here, and other than a name and the town's second barber, we don't have a lot to go on.
With a name like Briarlegs, though, you have to wonder. Going to play against the Dwarves despise Orcs as Rennor is exceptional in many ways. And hoping I can play her well when my group visits Windemere. And also deciding based on a roll that she is actually a female Dwarf.
Dwarves start with ST 10, DX 6, and IQ 8. Going to boost her to ST 12 DX 12 and IQ 9. Some skills she will have will be brawling (one of the reasons she is the 2nd best tailor is she is often in fights and so does not always get her work done in time). Also carousing which is what ends up as brawls. Being a Dwarf, the ax/mace skill is required of course, and perhaps shield and knife (swords just don't work well for her stature). The mundane talent of tailor and finish off with silent movement and toughness.
Keze used to be an adventurer in years past, but one dungeon delve too many left her left side scarred from a slime. Deciding to settle down, she ended up in Windemere. Seeing how the tailor in town was pretty snooty (at least in her eyes) she decided that tailoring should be available to more people. She set up shop just outside the Goblin Drecks. And she also provides some of their tailoring needs, usually trading for odd jobs and things she needs.
Seeing a bit of herself in Rennor, she helped the Orc girl with some padded cloth armor. She made it look more like armor, but it is effectively cloth armor. While Keze keeps away from the rest of the Lurboc clan, she talks with Rennor a lot as the girl makes her "patrol" through the Drecks. Rennor also is more gentle with Keze when breaking up fights. In fact, that is how they first met. Keze was fighting a caravan guard at the Devilish Water after they both had a bit too much of the wine. Rennor simply picked Keze up and took her home and actually tucked in the older woman. Ever since then, Keze had second thoughts about the Orcs, but figured she would take it one Orc at a time. And one Orc was all she wanted to know.
While generally quiet about her past, a few drinks and she opens up about her adventures. She claims she managed to stash away a good bit of her loot and findings but spent a fair amount setting up her shop. Her shop is in the west side of town just outside the Goblin Drecks. Between the interesting smells and piles of refuse and debris in that section of town, not many people visit. She can do clothing repairs and carries a small stock of clothing she can modify a bit. Clothing there is not particularly well made but does the job. Costs are 75-100% of the normal cost of clothing. The building is almost a hovel and not well cared for, located against the wall to the west side of town. She will buy and order magical items and has her errand boys (which includes girls) pester caravans as they come through to see if there are interesting baubles she can purchase before other merchants in town can get to them. Though Goblins are not always welcome near the caravans, she has managed to get a few odd magic items. She will sell them if she can't use them or gets bored of them. Or needs to pay up her bar tab.
There is a war ax behind the counter, and she always wears several knives. Sharp enough to slice a thread, most of those are actually 1d damage knives. She is also one of the people that, if she is not in the bar brawl, the sheriff calls out to break things up.
While getting on there in age, she could possibly be pulled from the tailoring life to a bit of adventure. She is also a possible source of low-end magic items in addition to decent and cheap clothing.
