Joel is a sharp-witted and unexpectedly cheerful investigator for the Ashmuth Guard, her warm disposition masking an unwavering resolve to uphold the city's laws. Known for her attention to detail and relentless curiosity, she approaches her work with equal parts compassion and tenacity, ensuring that no crime—no matter how small—goes unresolved. In a city where the most significant offences often involve theft or deception, Joel's usual cases have been mundane, even routine. But a recent wave of unexplained disappearances and one particularly grisly murder has shaken the city as of late. Determined to uncover the truth, she delves into these dark mysteries, unflinching even as the trail takes her into Ashmuth's shadowy corners.

A short, spry half-elf with a lively presence that stands out among her fellow guards. Her blonde, scruffy hair falls into her blue-green eyes, often giving her an unpolished look that contrasts with the sharpness of her investigative skills. Her usual attire—a bright orange cloak and the practical armour of the Ashmuth Guard—reflects her pride in her role and her approachable, no-nonsense demeanour. With a soft, kind face that's almost always accompanied by an inviting smile, Joel puts people at ease, whether they're witnesses, victims, or suspects. Her upbeat nature and inquisitive mind make her a fixture in the community—and a formidable opponent to anyone who dares to challenge the city's order.

Joel is deeply committed to solving the recent spate of disappearances and the brutal murder that has shaken the city. Convinced that the crimes are connected, she has made it her personal mission to uncover the truth and protect the people of Ashmuth. Her dedication to justice stems not only from her duty as an investigator but also from a genuine care for the city's inhabitants, whom she views as her extended family. This case has become more than work for Joel—it's a calling.
