Bead Dealande
Status Active
Race Halfling
Gender Female
Guild Bard
Instance Prime

Busker Bead Dealande of the Tavern Troupe Performing Order has a round face, almond-shaped violet eyes and a freckled nose. Her golden hair is long and curly, and is worn loosely piled atop her head. She has fair skin and a plump figure. She is short for a Halfling, and she appears to be young.

She usually wears a jaunty short blue cloak fastened by a taffelberry-shaped button, a black tankard-shaped badge etched with the insignia of the Tavern Troupe, a low-cut white lace summer dress woven with golden ribbons, an oilcloth music satchel, a blue brocade backpack embroidered along the straps with a wren-in-flight pattern, a cornflower blue tart pouch decorated with hand painted dancing tarts and some polished silver toe bells enameled a bright bardic blue.

Early Life
Orphaned at an early age, Beadistasia Dealande was raised by doting elderly aunties in Arthe Dale. Her childhood was marked by a remarkable flair for the dramatic and the ridiculous, and her pranks and antics -- including faking her own death, complete with a flaming-floating-coffin at the Arthe Dale Greensward Swimming Hole -- are legendary in her home village. Once she came of age, she eagerly settled in The Crossing and joined the Bards' Guild.

Compositions and Musical Talents
Bead is the proud owner of a wide variety of beautiful musical instruments, and practices them all with passionate intensity. Her current favorite is the fife, but she recently expanded her skills to the clavichord. She presents occasional casual performances on this and other instruments in The Crossing Guild's Conservatory.

Composing musical pieces is a particular joy, and among her completed works are:
Every Tart In The World, A comic song sure to induce cravings for every halfling's favorite food
Taffelberry Moonlight, A sweet romantic ballad set in Arthe Dale

Tart Aficionado
Bead takes tarts seriously -- not only are they a delicious and nutritious part of any adventurer's day, they are a celebration of her Olvi heritage. She is never without at least a dozen tarts on her person. If she doesn't offer you one, please feel free to ask. Even more than eating them, Bead loves to share them with new friends.
