Mollymauk Tealeaf

Mollymauk Tealeaf is a Tiefling Blood Hunter. He is played by Taliesin Jaffe.

Appearance
Molly is a lavender Tiefling with red eyes. His curled horns are pierced and extremely ostentatious, with little gems and baubles. He has a peacock tattoo that seems to be running up the side of his face, as well as a serpent tattoo on his right hand. His flamboyant appearance is often commented upon and he wears a bright and colorful robe covered with arcane symbols. Molly has two swords and a pouch that dangles from his hips. He also has many, straight, overlapping scars on his neck, upper chest, and arms, presumably from activating his swords.

Personality
Molly is described as a "literal and figurative peacock". He frequently tells extravagant lies, with little mind for whether or not his audience believes them. Insults tend to not affect him, as shown when by his lack of reaction when the old man in Ye Olde Mudhole called him a devil and told him to leave town.

Background
According to Toya, Mollymauk joined the carnival two years ago. During this time he was incapable of speech.

Jester
Molly read Jester's fortune for two copper pieces, using a small set of cards. He predicted that there is something bright and adventurous in her future.

At the Traveling Carnival of Curiosities, he showed her moon and shadow cards together and asked if she understood what they meant.

Beauregard
Molly finds Beau very annoying, to the point of describing her as "awful" to fellow carnival members. Beau, in return, is put off by Molly being rude to her.
