Editing Dungeon Meshi (section)

===The Thorden Sibling Party===
A small group of lovable idiots, their silly bickering and affability tends to disguise the fact that they are among the more experienced and infamous parties on the island. Despite their friendliness, Laius and Farlyn aren't always stellar judges of character, and their willingness to do jobs with sketchier groups, mysterious foreigners, and outcasts have fostered rumors and suspicions, meaning that other parties (such as Kabru's) find them somewhat untrustworthy.
  
*Laius Thorden - A human [[Fighter]] and the leader of the group. He's tough, strong, decisive, knowledgeable, even a bit handsome - the ideal well-rounded leader. Except that his charisma is so God-awful that most people who meet him tend to wonder if he's on the spectrum. Laius is often bad at conveying his emotions and even worse at reading the feelings of others, unintentionally offending people easily. His sister Farlyn usually has to step in to smooth things over, and is the best at understanding what Laius truly means. He's always had a fascination with monsters, and is the first to suggest that they try eating them when they run out of money to buy food. 

*Marcille Donato- The [[half-elf]] [[Wizard]]. Her powerful and versatile magic forms the offensive lynchpin of her party, and is usually reserved for the more dangerous monsters they encounter. She has also taken over healing duties since her close friend Farlyn got eaten. She's eager to go rescue her, but also the most reluctant to try eating monsters, even after several of the dishes they try turn out quite well. Laius and Senshi's monster food obsession disturbs her, yet despite this, she herself is obsessed with the arguably even more disturbing AND highly illegal study of ancient magic. Has fat ears, isn't lewd. In recent chapters, it was revealed Marcille was a [[Lofn|Elf-Human]] [[Illiyan Nastase|hybrids]]. Due to being a hybrid, she had a stunted growth, both mentally and physically. For that, she had trouble fitting in with society, unable to be accept to any schools, and had to witness her human father die of illness before she truly mature. Traumatized by her past experience, it led her to study ancient magic in order to find a cure for her half-breed biology problem. Using her trauma, the demon of the dungeon (aka Winged Lion) seduced her into becoming a dungeon master. With the Winged Lion by her side, she aim to expend her dungeon to the world surface in order to make all race mature equally, no longer for other hybrids suffering like her tragic childhood (and to save Farlyn of course). 

*Senshi of Izganda - A mysterious [[dwarf]] who joins the group after discovering their interest in monster cuisine. He's been cooking monsters for years and knows the best preparation methods and nutritional values of most monsters they come across. Unlike your typical [[dwarf]] stereotype, he is uninterested in metalwork, nor does he take good care of his weapon and armor, bearing an embarrassingly chipped and neglected axe. On the other hand his culinary utensils are immaculate and priceless, including a mithril kitchen knife that can carve bone like butter and an adamantine wok that was formerly his family's heirloom shield. Later revealed to be a survivor from a group of Dwarven miners and treasure hunters, who had discovered a way into the dungeon underground long before human settlers found an entrance on the surface.

*Chilchack Tims - The group's halfling [[Thief]]. A consummate professional, Chil has the most dungeon crawling experience on the team and leads a Guild negotiating hiring contracts for most of the islands halfing adventurers. Often plays the sane and straight man to the groups antics. He hates mimics; as the one to open treasure chests, he's the one who usually gets killed by them. He also gets annoyed when people unfamiliar with halflings treat him like a child, as he’s got a wife back home and a trio of daughters who already moved out. Despite his antisocial behavior and insistence he's only with the party out of contractual obligation, he's a reliable ally and more emotionally invested then he likes to let on.

*Farlyn Thorden - Laius' younger sister and party [[Cleric]]. As a child she showed a natural affinity for communicating with and banishing restless spirits, making her something of a pariah in her superstitious village despite being the daughter of the chief. Eventually, she left to go to magic school, specializing in healing and purification magic. This is also where she meets and befriends Marcille. The first arc of the series chronicles their quest to rescue her from the belly of a Red Dragon before she gets digested. Unfortunately the group doesn't make it, and by the time they cut her out all that's left is a bleached skeleton. Marcille uses ancient magic (which no one had expected she knew) to tap into the infinite power of the Dungeon, instructing it to recreate Farlyn's body with dragon flesh so her soul can inhabit it once again. And isn’t that just horrifying. It ended badly when the Dungeon Master showed up looking for his enthralled Red Dragon, whose soul had ended up sharing Farlyn's newly resurrected body. Bringing its consciousness to the surface, the Mad Sorcerer gained complete control over Farlyn and reshaped her body into a giant draconic chimera. Laius' current solution is to [[wat|eat away the dragon parts of her body]] and hope that it will remove any tethers to the Red Dragon's soul, and thus the Mad Sorcerer's control over her.

*Izutsumi (Asebi) - Ostensibly a ninja assassin [[Rogue]]. As a child Izutsumi was enslaved and unwillingly turned into a cat beastkin - a chimera created by the combination of human and nonhuman souls inhabiting a single body - making money for her owners in a freak show. She is later purchased by Shuro's father, given the name Asebi, and trained as a ninja to serve his household. Still, she doesn't give up her rebellious nature despite the markedly improved living conditions. At first chance she abandons Shuro's party to join up with the Thorden party, with the hope that they can remove the cat soul from her body due to Marcille's forbidden knowledge of ancient magic. She has a childish and self-serving attitude, is a picky eater, and has terrible table manners. She is the first person to outright refuse to eat a part of Senshi's cooking (ironically, perfectly conventional mushrooms), angering him by wasting food.
