Sweetbark and Strongbark
A couple of new Gnoll characters made for Baki's Backstory for his eventual tabletop debut for Pathfinder 2e, They are both brother and sister (Which Sweetbark is the older sister and Strongbark is the younger brother)
Both are from the Bark Tribe that resides in the Mwangi Jungle which the tribe has a friendly relationship with the City of Nantambu, a bastion of civilization and protection in the harsh jungle. When Sweetbark was born, she was gifted with a unique Nymph bloodline that manifested through her, unfortunately she was considered a "Runt" despite her magical prowess as she was smaller than the other gnolls of her tribe (Which to other people there isn't too much of a difference since she still bigger than most humans).
Once the tribe decided to keep Sweetbark safe since she was considered too weak, they had her live in Nantambu in order to serve as a sort of ambassador and form connections in the city to enhance the relationship of her tribe and harness her magical power in safety. For this end, Her younger brother Strongbark, a warrior and hunter in the tribe was tasked with being her bodyguard and living with her to protect which he agreed without any issues.
Strongbark is a himbo that isn't too smart but is a dedicated and goofy guy. They both made their living in Nantambu with Sweetbark becoming an artist after finding her passion within the city and Strongbark works as a dockworker and general labor in order to help support his sister.
That's their backstories, however Strongbark met with a Catfolk named Baki who quickly made fast friends with the big gnoll and even taught him how to play the Drum which Strongbark really enjoyed and then he accepted the Bard's offer to join his theater group. Sweetbark has met Baki occasionally and finds him charming and willing to help him and Strongbark for any artistic needs.
So that's the two of them! I plan to add more of the Theater Trope at some point but we'll see :D
