Ersa Penn

Ersa Penn is a follower of Grimace, working as a traveling healer and therapist in Hoehen. She is 56 years old. She is Grimassi's teacher, mentor, and rival.

Ersa is not Tempered like her student Grimassi. She started her worship when she was young, entering the order of Grimace at the age of 12 after losing her parents. While in the order, she studied healing, psychology, protective magic, and lore. Her medical practices are rooted in herbalism, surgery, and talk therapy, and she generally eschews magical healing methods.

She believes that is is the duty of Grimace's apostles to comfort those who are suffering in order to minimize emotional pain and speed the healing process. There's little use in trying to prevent suffering, but the lasting effects can be limited. Her death rites focus on providing a peaceful transition into death.

Penn is one of the most renowned healers and therapists in Hoehen. She has a traveling medicine cart led by a horse named Patchouli.
