Description
Taniel Merris is a plump, cheerful man with rosy cheeks perpetually dusted with flour. His warm brown eyes crinkle when he smiles, which is often. He wears simple baker’s whites and keeps his graying hair tied back while working, though wisps always seem to escape.
Personality
Kind-hearted and generous to a fault, Taniel believes that food brings people together and that no one should go hungry. He’s quick with a smile, a kind word, and a free sample for children. His perpetual optimism and genuine care for his community make him one of the most beloved merchants in the Shopping District.
Background
Taniel runs The Golden Grain in Solaris’s Shopping District, a bakery that perfumes the entire street with the scent of honey, butter, and fresh bread. His specialty is sun-shaped sweetbreads glazed with saffron, which are popular with both locals and visiting dignitaries. He’s known for never turning away a hungry child and often donates day-old bread to those in need throughout Solaris.
