And my other good D&D sketch that I have scanned.  Tristie Chatterbox was the character of my roommate (2nd semester, not the same person from the Caffeine Crash picture.).  Tristie's a kender.  (Yes, I know, Kender are supposed to have pointed ears... ^_^;)  In looks, kender are to elves what halflings are to humans.  In temperament...kender are eternally innocent, very talkative, endlessly fascinated by shiny/interesting/odd objects, and near-universally afflicted with selective memory.  Kender are never thieves; they find things people dropped, or take care of it when the person loses it, or have things show up in their posession without knowing....and to their minds, that's exactly what happened.  Unless played very carefully, kender become incredibly annoying, hence why most D&D groups have a "no Kender" clause.  My roommate was given an exception, and played it out beautifully; not only was Tristie much more than just an annoyance, but the entire group grew so attached to and protective of the kender that the fastest way to commit suicide around that party was to hurt the kender.  She saved us on many occasions, as well.
