Character creation challenge day 11

 Day 11

System: B/X by the book

Ability scores rolled: 13, 6, 12, 13, 9, 10

Starting gold: 80 gp

Once again, there are a few ways I could go with this set of scores, but the one that appeals to me right now is a halfling. Low intelligence is always an interesting challenge to portray while maintaining the character's dignity. Hit points on d6 come up a 6.

After spending the first couple decades of her adulthood in farming, Trillium has at last heeded the call of adventure. Wealthy and successful adventurers, after all, can afford to behave eccentrically and indulge their younger relatives, which are two causes dear to her heart. Despite a lack of analytical intelligence, she possesses a decent amount of common sense and usually makes good decisions, though not always quickly.
