Herr Gruber is a robust, elderly man with a weather-beaten face, deep-set kind eyes, and a thick, grey beard that reaches his chest. He always wears sturdy, well-worn leather hiking boots, practical green trousers, a checkered flannel shirt, and a heavy, dark-green wool jacket, often topped with a traditional Black Forest hat adorned with a small feather. He carries a hand-carved wooden walking stick, which is more of a companion than a simple aid. Herr Gruber is deeply connected to the forest, patient, observant, and possesses a vast knowledge of its secrets and creatures, though he can be a bit stoic and reserved at first. He values tradition and the quiet wisdom of nature.

Frau Schmidt is a spirited woman in her late twenties, with bright, curious blue eyes and a cascade of fiery red hair often tied back in a practical braid or a messy bun. She dresses in durable outdoor clothing: olive green cargo pants, a comfortable but stylish hiking jacket in muted earth tones, and robust, ankle-high hiking boots. She always carries a well-organized backpack filled with maps, notebooks, a compass, and historical texts, along with a pair of binoculars around her neck. Frau Schmidt is enthusiastic, intellectually curious, and determined, sometimes rushing into situations with youthful eagerness but always with good intentions and a keen mind for puzzles. She is passionate about history and natural geography.

Onkel Ernst is a jovial and stout man in his fifties, with a round, cheerful face, twinkling eyes, and a bushy brown mustache that always seems to be smiling. He wears traditional Lederhosen, a crisp white shirt, a dark vest, and green suspenders, often topped with a small, embroidered cap that sits slightly askew. His hands are strong and skilled from years of carving wood and preparing hearty, traditional meals in his Gasthof kitchen. Onkel Ernst is incredibly friendly, hospitable, a bit superstitious about local forest tales and legends, and always ready to share a story or offer a warm meal. He provides comfort, local wisdom, and a welcoming presence to travelers and locals alike.
