The current midwife of Gogpodda


The current midwife of Gogpodda is an oracle of the life mystery. She has green hair, with electric blue eyes and black as night skin. She has made it her mission in life to discover the meanings to the skin and hair colors of gnomes. She came with her journals of observations and has added the dates, coordinates, names, and hair, skin, and eye color of every baby she has helped birth on floating Gogpodda. Each get their own page for observation notes. She also records the details of every visitor, their hair, skin, and eye color as well as name and history.

The midwife, as many people call her by her title and not her name, has one journal set aside for conclusions. She has very few so far. Yellow haired gnomes are highly troublesome, more so than others. Red haired gnomes are outspoken and quick tempered. Blue and green haired gnomes always have a magical inclination, if not an inborn magical ability.

The midwife lives, like many of the Gogpodda residents, in a simple rowboat. Her rowboat is twelve feet long and eight feet wide in the middle with a wooden stern ships castle taking up two-thirds of the deck.  The midwife sleeps in a simple hammock. Most of the area is taken up by shelves that hold journals and ingredients for potions and tinctures. If women come to her to give birth, a rarity since most prefer to give birth in their own homes, they must do so on deck in the doorway.
