Hashing out this story has been really slow for me (inspiration only comes in 750mL bottles), and coming up with names for bit characters is next to impossible for me. So to save myself the need for excess inspiration/intoxication, I want you to come up with a few names for side characters: merchants, bandits, upper-class snobs, traveling heroes, etc. Keep in mind, a name doesn't have to be in a format that we're used to (Asale, Kadin Vyce, Ariella the Cold). It can be merely a title ("the mistress", "the youth", etc).
In addition to this, I need a name for a very specific character. I've thought of a few options, but I can't really decide at the moment. Either pick an option or throw out one of your own. His description is as follows:
A sixteen-year old boy who looks to be a bit malnourished. Patches of dirt riddle his tattered gray tunic and pale skin. His brown hair is equally dirty and unkempt. His hazel eyes echo a thousand-yard stare that is as lifeless as his single-word sentences that he manages to utter on rare occasions. He is accompanied by a tall, dark haired woman. His matriarch who he simply refers to as mistress, commands the boy rather than cares for him. Despite her cold nature, she really does look out for his wellbeing. He follows her commands with little hesitation and loyally defends her whenever threatened. Rarely does he think about his own needs or wants. His entire existence he devotes to serving his mistress who, more or less, manages to supply him with the bare necessities.
