(First off, thankies to doctorlit and Riese for beta-ing for me. Hugs for everyone!)
Now then, on to business.
Agents:
Agent Veralyn Amberwing is the severely unfortunate victim of one World of Warcraft player's intense hatred disliking for blood elves. Her semi-fic blip of origin would have had Veralyn meet a horrific end at the claws and teeth of several demons; fortunately, her uncanonical age opened a plot hole that swallowed her up before they could finish her off, and Veralyn (along with her dragonhawk companion, Firebrand) fell right into the home of Caroline Moor. While the blonde blood elven huntress was badly scarred by the encounter, she is the first to admit that the damage might have been far worse if she hadn't managed to land on someone familiar with blood elves...ignoring of course the 'exchange of apologies' immediately following her landing, which involved knives, kitchen utensils, and a Pop Tart.
Despite now being a far more canonical 117 years of age, Veralyn still behaves in much the same way as a human in her mid-twenties (which, considering the canonical maturation rate of blood elves, is probably just about right). She is also suffering from a bad case of Broken Haughty, and as such tends to react...poorly...to being embarrassed or surprised, a trait which of course only makes it all the more fun for Caroline and Firebrand to antagonize her. It should be noted that she will flinch and may react violently if someone comes up on her blind side. Having nowhere to go on World One and no idea how to return to her own continuum,Veralyn grudgingly followed Caroline to the PPC, and was immediately given a job...and the aggravation of being Caroline's partner. Veralyn was a skilled leatherworker prior to her run-in with an anti-sin'dorei writer, though her work these days is significantly slower due to her new lack of depth perception. Veralyn harbors an immense fear of heights and will freeze if she looks down from a height of more than five feet.
Agent Caroline Moor is a young human female from World One who willingly volunteered for a job at the PPC after becoming thoroughly frustrated with the lack of job opportunities in her home town. Due to her messy brown hair, blue-green eyes, and thin-framed glasses, there is very little that is eye-grabbing about her appearance, save perhaps the sheer ordinariness of it. She and Veralyn encountered each other immediately following Veralyn's near-death, and though the two months following had Caroline dodging racial slurs and veiled threats from the prickly sin'dorei (not to mention enduring a sometimes-violent crash-course in the English language for Veralyn), Caroline bears no ill will towards the blood elf and tends to be equal parts loyal to- and irritable with her partner.
As far as her personality goes, Caroline alternates between hyperactivity and an almost sloth-like calmness, and prefers to avoid conflict when she can – although she is fiercely protective of her Lust Objects, Favorites, and fandoms. She also harbors a bit of a maternal instinct for rough-and-tumble characters (such as Rainbow Dash of the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic continuum and the mischievous Firebrand) and is an unwavering proponent of the underdog and persons or fandoms which she perceives to have been unfairly condemned. She sings, but usually does so at such a soft volume and low pitch that most humans would have to strain a bit to catch the words; the only time she really sings loud enough to be heard is when she is part of a choir or in a very chaotic public setting. She is highly ticklish, and will squeal when poked. Loudly.

Agent Fandoms
Agent Veralyn is only well-versed in the Warcraft fandom, since this is her continuum of origin. However, as she borrowed Caroline's many books as a means to pass the time (and aid her in learning World One English), she has become intrigued by the works of Tamora Pierce and already knows a fair bit about two-thirds of the Provost's Dog trilogy (which she refers to as the Beka Cooper trilogy.) It's worth noting that she plans to extend her knowledge of Pierce's works and has been eyeing Caroline's copy of the Silmarillion of late.
Agent Caroline has a larger range of fandoms, with varying levels of expertise. In no real order, she is knowledgeable about the Warcraft-verse, the Warriors-verse, the MLP-verse, the Tolkien-verse, the Twilight-verse, and the Pierce-verse. She also has a smattering of familiarity with the Naruto-verse.
