though he has very little patience for pompous arrogance or those who betray his trust.<br/><br/><strong>Attire:</strong><br/>Casual clothing that usually hangs loosely upon his frame mostly in the form of t-shirts and cargo khakis.  Fen’s shoes are the wider styled skater shoe to better accommodate his unique footprint.  He is almost never seen with some sort of beanie upon his head, specifically cut to allow his ears to poke through.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong><br/>For most of his life, Fen was owned by a kind old man named Lance Wolfe who was looking for some companionship and help with his small business.  Ever since he was a pup, Fen was raised to assist his owner with the daily chores of the small coffee shop while looking cute in the process to help pull in customers.  Although he was technically an indentured servant, Lance never treated him as anything less than a son.  As the years passed, he became experienced with all there was to know about running a café even though the old man refused to stray far from its roots as a hole-in-the-wall coffee shop that catered mostly to the elder crowd.<br/><br/>When Fen was 22, Lanced passed away from complications due to his age.  In his will, Lance stated that Fen was to be free and the sole heir to his estate.  After a period of mourning, Fen closed down the coffee shop and spent the better part of the year remodeling it from the ground up.  What was once an old-style coffee house was now a modern aged café that targeted a wider age group of customers.  Thus, Café Enigma was born.  To the average patron, it appeared to be just another place that sells gourmet coffee, teas, and a myriad of pastries.  However, the café lives up to its name by having an entirely different menu that remains unlisted and unadvertised; the items of which can only be ordered whenever they are done so with the proper words and phrases.  If the consumer gets the order wrong, Fen would just give them a confused glance and direct them to the menu on the wall.  If they get it right, they will be able to access a wide assortment of enhancements to their chosen beverages ranging from aphrodisiacs to barbiturates to mild hallucinogens.  These people may also access the backroom while they enjoy their orders.  This portion of the café is entirely soundproof and hidden from the view of the general consumers.  In there, the ‘preferred customers’ are able to thoroughly enjoy one another’s company and can even access private rooms where they can have more intimate encounters.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Name: </strong>Ahnissa “Nissa” Wallace<br/><strong>Age: </strong>25<br/><strong>Gender: </strong>Female<br/><strong>Species: </strong>Human<br/><strong>Physical Appearance</strong><br/>(http://reluctantoptimist.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/sexy-redhead.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>General Appearance/Personality:</strong><br/>Ahnissa's silky smooth skin is free of any tattooing, scarring, or any other such impurity.  It is no surprise that her lithe frame, effeminate charm, and openly flirtatious yet empathetic personality makes her a desired presence in The Enigma whether it is for general conversation, flirtatious entertainment, or, on occasion, intimate companion.<br/><br/><strong>Attire:</strong><br/>Typically wears halter tops or tank tops and jeans, both of which hug her body tightly to further accent her rolling curves.  Ahnissa’s underwear comes in a wide variety of styles, most of which incorporates lace in some style.  Shoes typically come in the form of flats, low heels, or sandals; though she is known to be seen in more enticing ensembles.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong><br/>Ahnissa comes from a typical upper-middle class family in Nexia and is the youngest among two other sisters.  She was always viewed as the free-spirited type among her relatives because of the way she acted on her own desires rather than what is the social norm.  She’s been close friends with Fen ever since they met in high school.  Much of Café Enigma’s look came from her mind and she spends much of her free time there, even when she is off the clock.  In the nights and evenings, she is more commonly seen in the ‘preferred customer’ portion of the café as a bartender/barista.<br/><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Secret Menu Notes &amp;
