Personality and Marketing
Personality & Marketing |
|---|
| | Personality |
Yelhice is lawful neutral—he follows bazaar rules scrupulously while bending perceived reality with creative labeling. He sells fruits and markets them as "elvish" for marketing reasons, not because they're actually different from any other fruit.

| | The Elvish Brand |
The fruit is ordinary. Grown in ordinary soil, picked by ordinary hands. But Yelhice is elvish, and the fruit is sold by an elf—therefore, "elvish fruit." It's technically true in a way that matters to tourists and harmless to everyone else. He's not lying; he's... branding.
