Dramatis personae
This is an overview of characters known by name that have appeared in the stories posted in this anthology thread. They are not all of the existing characters, as there are many more where these had come from. Some characters recur more often than others. The character names are listed alphabetically, but by personal name, rather than family name or patronymic, as it's more likely readers will read and remember their personal names first.

Tóla Titavháugsdautír
Species: Bigfolk
Sex: Female
Job: The only female private eye in Melza.
Birthplace/Homeland: Hrímland
First appearance: White-knuckled Shopping
Story appearances: White-knuckled Shopping
Brief biography: Tóla's criminology connections run in the
family. Her father is a
now-retired police guardsman in their home town, one of the few
larger urban areas in the sparsely populated northern island
republic. While Tóla's initial plans were to follow in her dad's
footsteps and become a mundane policewoman, after having finished her
criminology studies in Lokytia and Karantia, she decided to become a
private detective instead. Call it fate, call it good fortune or call
it sheer dumb luck, she ended up in Melza and has been making a
living here for slightly over four years now. She's by far the most
professional of the local trio of sleuths. In contrast to Púrebrú,
she works much more systematically and uses scientific investigation
methods, and she's not as impulsive and chaotic during her detective
work. In contrast to Dekseriu, she is willing to do field work more
than once in a blue moon and roll up her sleeves for the needs of her
detective work. Though she owns a handgun, she carries and uses it
only sporadically, relying more on her knowledge and on tools for
inspecting crime scenes. What she never leaves behind is her buffcoat
and her rather wide-brimmed hat, "my favoured clothing when I walk
the mean streets", as she herself says. Though her given name means "Tall" in her native Hrímlandic, she is of average height, only
adding to her contrasting image of a rather introverted lady. Aside
from mayor Oktimk, virtually no one in Melza has ever adressed her by
her full name. Those that do adress her are usually either on first
name basis with her or adress her as "Miss… erm, let's leave it
at that, you have a rather complicated name".
