A seemingly-human woman trudges into the Inn and up to the bar. She's pretty nondescript but we can say that she has dark skin, fuzzy black hair, brown eyes, a curve or two. She looks pretty glum. The shining spaceship parked outside and the nice countryside she's passed over to get here have failed to cheer her up.
Her name is Aurani Meirhindaniacolanmastarania, but we can call her Mei.
As narrators, anyway. For other characters to do so would be excessively familiar.
