Mother Halda

An older woman with a market stall — the first stall past the burned section of the market square, which survived nearly unscathed. Not a Thornwall Fords native; arrived on one of the traveling carts that came into town alongside the party. Has fourteen grown children ('four…teen'), all gone, which led to an accidental sex-ed conversation with Sanji (who assumed children are bought). Can cast Speak with Animals once per day, offered in exchange for a coin or a covered breakfast. Cast it for her Eggs Benjamin, which she declared possibly the best eggs she has ever had. Translated the party's full conversation with Pickles. Was visibly unsettled when the party applauded Pickles having eaten a human and may be keeping some distance from the crew afterward. Declared herself in on the mission to free the animals at the mill.
