Aroma & Agave

Jipli’s got a nose for emotions. He’ll sell you something to feel braver, bolder, or just better-smelling. Kaplu’s got a knack for distillation...and no moral objections to what happens after the fourth shot. Together? They’re the reason half the marketplace smells like lime zest and misplaced confidence.

Jipli, Aromancer Extraordinaire
“Scents! Senses! Sensations! Welcome, traveler, to the temple of the nose!”
A swirl of cologne, a twirl of a scarf, and a nose sharper than a vulture on market day, Jipli is a merchant like no other. With a bounce in his step and a flair for the dramatic, this Pelupelu peddler isn’t just selling scents: he’s reading the world through aetherscent, his uncanny ability to sniff out the very flow of aether itself. While others rely on guesswork, Jipli simply inhales...and business booms.Beyond his bundles of incense and bottles of enchanted oils, Jipli is a creature of pure affection. He adores his wife Kaplu (whom he claims smells of "sun-baked agave and destiny") and dotes endlessly on his beloved "baby sister" Mabli, an adopted Xbr’aal who now towers over him. He brags about both constantly. Loudly. Lovingly.Ever the eccentric, Jipli believes scent is the key to the soul, and whether you're looking to charm a crowd, soothe an adventurer’s aches, or just smell like "a thunderstorm in bloom," he's got a vial for that, and a story to match.
Kaplu, Sun-kissed Mezcalera
“They call us the ‘Aroma & Agave’ pair. I call us lucky.”
Kaplu is the quiet flame behind the still, measured, steady, and full of soul.While her husband whirls through the world nose-first, Kaplu prefers the hush of her workroom, where clay jars bubble and agave hearts roast under her careful eye. She’s the more grounded of the pair (someone has to be), with a mind sharp enough to navigate markets and mellow enough to appreciate a slow sip by starlight. Though she often loses herself in days-long recipe trials, she always finds her way back to Jipli, usually with a tasting glass in hand and a tired but content smile on her face.She loves him deeply, as she does Mabli, the “baby sister” who towers over them both. While she isn’t one to steal the spotlight, her warmth lingers in every bottle she seals, every plant she tends, and every soft chuckle she hides when Jipli tries to make her dance.Kaplu is not loud. She doesn’t need to be. Her mezcal speaks volumes...and so does the way she looks at the people she loves.
Relationships
Aromancer
“Mabli? She’s my baby sister, even if she could pick me up like a sack of tubers. I’ve known her since she could barely meow—and I’ll be watching out for her ‘til she roars.”

Jipli met Mabli when she was no more than a fuzzy, curious kitten, and he an excitable young Pelupelu with more heart than sense. Raised side by side in the sun-baked sprawl of Wachunpelo, the two grew up thick as cactus fruit, with Jipli quickly taking to the role of overenthusiastic big brother. He doted on her then and still does now. He's always ready with a joke, a shield, or a dramatic flourish to pull her out of her shell (or back into it, depending on the day).Though Mabli’s since grown tall and sure of herself, Jipli continues to be her self-declared cheerleader, protector, and occasional embarrassment. He’s never shy about speaking up for her, especially when she won't. She’s one of the brightest parts of his life, and he takes pride in being someone she can rely on, even if his antics make her groan.To Jipli, Mabli isn’t just family, she’s one of the greatest joys he's ever helped grow.
Mabli, Mountain's wallflower

To Jipli, she’s the baby sister who grew two heads taller and still needs his expert advice (or at least, he thinks so). He’s quick to leap to her defense, crack a joke at her expense, or loudly declare she’s the best thing in their lives, whether she asked for that attention or not.Kaplu, on the other hand, is the cool-headed counterweight: less loud, more lingering glances and protective looks that say “mess with her and you’ll regret it.” She lets Jipli do the doting, but she’s just as soft for Mabli beneath it all...just quieter about it.Together, they fuss, fawn, and follow her around like two proud, slightly embarrassing parents with zero shame and hearts too big for their sleeves.

“She’s a gentle heart with a hunter’s stare. I’m proud to call her my sister. Tail and all.”

Kaplu took to Mabli like a sprout to rain: naturally and without hesitation. Though not her sibling by blood, Kaplu has always seen her as family, and treated her no differently. She remembers when Mabli was small enough to nap in a fruit crate behind their stall, all twitchy ears and curious eyes. These days, Mabli stands tall, sharp, and quiet, but that same sweetness lingers in her presence, and Kaplu treasures it dearly.Unlike Jipli’s noisy affections, Kaplu’s bond with Mabli is a calm one: shared silences, handpicked flowers, soft-spoken understanding. She doesn’t press Mabli to be anything she’s not, but she watches her closely, always making space, always ready to step in if needed. There’s a quiet protectiveness in her, too, though it’s less about guarding and more about tending. Like a gardener, with a beloved wild bloom.Mabli may have joined their little family by chance, but in Kaplu’s heart, she’s rooted deep.
