Tansy Snobeedle

Every Empire Runs on Paperwork

Blossom Snobeedle may control appearances.

But Tansy controls everything underneath them.

Contracts. Inventories. Worker schedules. Property records. Financial ledgers. Liability reports. Every system holding the Snobeedle estate together eventually passes through Tansy’s ink-stained hands.

And she trusts absolutely no one.

Coldly efficient and perpetually suspicious, Tansy treats adventurers like incoming disasters that need to be documented, redirected, and contained before they damage the family business. While other NPCs manipulate emotions, Tansy weaponizes structure itself.

This Creature Feature release transforms a simple commoner framework into a layered narrative NPC focused on procedural pressure, investigation obstruction, and institutional control.

Perfect for:

• Waterdeep: Dragon Heist
• Investigation-heavy campaigns
• Merchant faction intrigue
• Political and legal conflicts
• Bureaucratic pressure encounters
• Slow-burn conspiracy adventures
