Description
Gnomes are beings of nature, and Wannherl's appearance does justice to this fact. His emerald green complexion seems that of a younger gnome, with few wrinkles or marks. His wild hazel hair, which is not only thick on his scalp but also covers to a more moderate extent the rest of his body, seems unmanageable, or at least unkempt. His green eyes are large, as well his ears, to take in the nuances of the world around him, and his grin, when he sports it, seems unnaturally large to non-gnomes, sporting pearly-white teeth, used more than once to charm his way to a better deal. About average for a Gnome, he stands a good 3'4” tall, and weighs in at a whopping 41 lbs.
Keeping to his gnomish nature, he is normally seen wearing is favorite hat, a tall fuchsia skotthúfa, with a mustard-yellow tassel and a cobalt tassel-cylinder. He also normally wears a simple white tunic, with a red vest with mustard-yellow trim, as well as brown pants and boots.
