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.

Birthplace/date and childhood
Boccorit, June 13, 876. Wannherl's childhood was full of curiosity, mischievousness, and exploration. When he was 1, he developed a fascination with turning the family pet, a badger, gold. He soon developed his nickname, Goldbadger, which he would keep for the rest of his life. When he was 5, while playing with his mother's alchemy equipment, he managed to ingest a poisonous concoction that also had tiny delayed explosives, almost killing him, and making him forever wary of his abilities concerning alchemy and very grateful to the clerics of Garl Glittergold, who healed him. After the incident, he decided to help his father at the front of the shop, and was soon enrolled at a merchant's academy. After completing merchant's academy, he apprenticed with is father, and later took classes part time at Boccorit in order to be better prepared to conduct business as a traveling merchant specializing in magical items.
Family, Friends, and Enemies
Wannherl is the only child of Vanvan Boneskin (father) and Daldina Whisperstone (mother). He had never met his grandparents, but heard that they lived somewhere in the wilds of Northern Kandor.
Although he was well-liked in both his merchant's acadamy and Boccorit, he didn't keep in touch with his classmates, most of which have already passed away (he graduated the merchant's acadamy in 891 and left Boccorit in 916)
He made various friends wherever he traded, most noteworthy of which being another traveling merchant Gnome by the name of Fripplesnacks Fizzlesticks.
He also befriended Garl Glittergold priest Garlen Shadowhonor in the time after his merchant days, and stayed with him for a time in the forest south of Garriton.
Wannherl has no specific enemies, but he is not fond of Necromancers, who he thinks are playing with power that should be left to the gods, Enchanters, who he thinks are evil for taking the free will of others, Thieves and Brigands, for stealing from merchants.
