Kraft Lawrence

Template:Infobox character

Kraft Lawrence is a twenty-five-year-old traveling merchant who goes from town to town selling, buying and trading various goods in order to make a profit. Lawrence’s dream is become a town merchant with his own shop business, but he does not yet have the necessary money. While doing business in Pasloe, he finds Holo one night in the back of his cart and agrees to help her return to Yoitsu, her homeland in the North.

Appearance

Lawrence is a fairly tall man of average build with short silver hair and spiky bangs that part on either side of his face. He has been described as handsome, although his constant travels and work prevent him from grooming any more than necessary to present a professional appearance to potential buyers and sellers.

History

When he was twelve, Lawrence became an apprentice to a merchant relative and set out on his own at eighteen, with his trusty horse as his first purchase. He had been working independently for seven years until he met Holo. By then he had established a decent network of business contacts in the region and a decent reputation.

Quotes

• We are both of us merchants, and I'll promise you one thing. We will not laugh until we get the money, and we will not cry until we go bankrupt. And guess what? We are going to laugh. (to Holo)
• I'm not sure what I did to deserve this turn of events, but I just happened to meet a strange wolf. She wants to return to the north, and I made a contract to accompany her. I cannot break that contract. I gave my word.
