 ChiiAngelic Knight of Order, AQ Suggestions and AQ GD AK
The origin of Chii has yet to be fully explained. Artix Entertainment's lips are sealed, but rumor has it that Chii fell from the sky in the year 65,000,000 B.C. and was adopted by a local family of cavemen. Eventually tiring of their disco clubs and incessant car insurance commercials, Chii departed for Parts Unknown, but got hung up in Michigan instead, where it was discovered and raised by a pack of wolves. Chii now prowls the Suggestions forums, in addition to chewing up numbers for AdventureQuest and occasionally designing new toys for adventurers to play with. Evidence of housebreaking remains inconclusive.

 TalwraithArch-Knight of Order
The Talwraith is an elusive creature, with a helpful attitude, and a great appetite for spam.

 westward_ho!Head Moderator of the DF Encyclopedia and DF Guides
In the wilds of the Antarctic, penguins wander... this one is mighty lost! Being secretive and rarely seen by outsiders, penguins are perfect archivers of information, and this one has chosen DragonFable as her pet project. Through the forums she waddles in search of fish and the meaning of life, and lately has been wondering if they're synonymous. A PM can always bring her out of hiding and, if you're lucky, you might catch her in one of the Caelestia IRC channels, too.
