Dreadwolf made the terrible mistake of telling me about a random character idea and now here we are.

Eris Bimble, traveling book salesman, penguin extraordinaire. Getting up there in age, but he still makes the trip to his favorite customer once a year. Usually results in him getting carried around for a bit and snuggled. Plus he knows Mis can't deny Vix her books, so it's a guaranteed sale!

Vix calls him Mr. Bumble, from childhood.

Bimble is also an accomplished Solarin wielder, but he only uses it when absolutely necessary, wouldn't want to singe any of the books after all.

.. There's no penguin in the species list.
