Tamika Coris, here, is a DMFA fan-character of mine made for "D&DMFA" tests. (She was the group's cleric.) Owner of the Red Thicket Inn, Tamika is a succubus of Clan Hatila, a comfort-affinity clan that lost its leader early in the Dragon-Cubi War. While she may have an affinity for comfort and relaxation, Tamika is also a firm believer in "tough love." Sometimes you need to make people uncomfortable in order to secure their happiness further down the line. Plus, if someone's making others uncomfortable in *her inn,* well, *someone* needs to lay down the law. Conduct yourself like a good person and a good customer in the Red Thicket, and you'll have a wonderful, peaceful, and revitalizing time. Cause problems, and you're due for a world of embarrassment, shame, and pain.

Given that Tamika serves a lot of creatures in the Red Thicket due to the creature-friendly atmosphere, she's become pretty tough over the years. After all, if some demon feels like having a drink-fueled rampage and disturbing the paying customers, you need to have some skill and chutzpah to be able to toss them out on your tentacles.

She was well due for a bit more musing about her design. I think I finally got her facial markings down, thank heavens. Pardon the marker testing.
