A very simple sketch of a new D&D character (so far she's just for a one shot game, but maybe I'll find a new, longer lasting home for her later).
My DM allowed me to try out a race from older editions - the Lupin. (Stats transferred to 5e with this link: http://www.pandius.com/5e_lupin.html & lore from this link: http://dnd.arkalseif.info/races/dragon-compendium--109/lupin--32/index.html 😁)
Her name is Luna Dippilippy. After her home village was destroyed, she was adopted by a noble family of gnomes that traded (enchanted weapons & gadgets) with her village regularly. The gnome family has such a silly name thanks to an ancestor who made it up & now his future generations are stuck with the name. He also enchanted an anvil to laugh when tickled (cuz why the heck not?) & so the family crest & the business is called "the Laughing Anvil".
Luna is a paladin whose highly sophisticated with a few canine-like traits ... like taking over the butler's job when there's a knock at the door- "MOM! DAD! GUESTS! GUESTS ARE HERE!" Then she throws the door open & greets the visitors with enthusiasm.
