Martha Alvarez

Appearance
Martha has a plain but not unattractive face and medium-length, very frizzy hair. Her ears are pointed into the ever-popular "elf ears," and her eyes appear to have goggle lenses fused over the sockets. Her fingers are flattened and curved, so that when she holds out her hands they bear a striking resemblance to shovel heads.

Personality
Martha has gained the nickname "Saint Martha" among many changelings because of her strong drive to protect victims of injustice. She is also known for her perfectionistic work ethic and her over-eagerness to talk about her bodily functions. For a Wizened, she manages to inspire an unusual amount of affection.

Roles
Martha is a highly skilled craftswoman, and her goods have become so sought-after that she has been awarded the title of Avant Guard in the Spring Court. She is particularly well-known for her perfumes, fashion, beautiful-but-functional weaponry, and photography. She is also willing to host gatherings in which other changelings learn new crafts. As a Claviger of the Spring Court, she protects the Freehold with all the ferocity of a mother bear.

Relationships
Martha is married to Norman Alvarez. Her wares can usually be found at the shop run by Tim Kim, Allen Lynn, and Joe Estrada. Her strong sense of justice prompts her to cooperate extensively with the Verdant Advocate Brett Grosser, often providing martial protection while he is working on a case.
