Master Lila is a middle-aged gnome woman with fiery reddish-brown hair that falls messily around her face. She wears an overburdened utility belt that clinks with various pottery tools as she moves around the shop. Her eyes sparkle with passion and intensity as she meticulously sculpts each piece of pottery on her spinning wheel.
Despite her diminutive size, Master Lila has an imposing presence, commanding respect from her patrons and apprentices alike. She speaks with a no-nonsense tone and is quick to point out flaws or mistakes in her students' work. Yet, she also has a warm and nurturing side, encouraging her students to persevere and strive for excellence.
Her pottery pieces are highly sought after throughout the City of Hojo, and her signature clay dragons are her most prized creations. Each one is so intricately detailed that they seem to be alive, with scales and wings that appear to ripple in the light. Her other pieces, such as dishes and vases, are equally impressive, with unique designs and patterns that showcase Master Lila's exceptional skills in the art of pottery.
Running the business with her is a well-to-do halfling named Lily, who handles the financial and customer service aspects of the Dragon's Den shop. She is often seen greeting customers with a friendly smile and offering them tea while they browse Master Lila's creations. Lily's thri-kreen assistant, a quiet and efficient worker named Tariq, assists Master Lila in her pottery-making process and also helps with the day-to-day operations of the shop. Together, the three make a formidable team and have turned the Dragons Den into a beloved establishment in the City of Hojo.
