Common Folk - Entertainer (Grim Hollow)

Entertainers thrive in the spotlight, relishing
applause and delighting in the fanciful.
Entertainers are expert performers able to
enthrall, inspire, and delight their audiences
with a range of artistic displays. Their poetry
captivates, speaking to the depth of human
emotion in portraying sadness, love, or joy. Their
music likewise enlivens or stirs sorrow. Their
dance steps are nimble and cheering, and their
humor is often tailored to their audience, whether
low-born or noble.
