Merchant 01 by Novaminis

One hand raised in greeting, the other open in invitation — this merchant has been selling goods from here to the next frontier town for longer than most adventurers have been alive, and she knows exactly how to close a deal.

Novaminis' Merchant 01 captures a travelling trader mid-pitch — arms wide, stance confident, satchel slung over one hip and a belt-pouch at her waist. Her long braided hair falls loose beneath a simple headband, and her open leather vest and flared trousers give her a roguish, road-worn look that sits somewhere between savvy street vendor and well-connected smuggler. The expression reads as charming, perhaps a little too charming — the sort of face that has talked its way past a dozen city gates.

This is variation 01 in Novaminis' Merchant series, featuring this particular open-arm greeting pose. It's a characterful sculpt with enough personality to anchor a market scene, a riverside trading post, or any urban encounter where the party needs — or distrusts — the person who knows where to source unusual goods.

Whether she's the hook for a side quest, the fence the rogues use after a heist, or the friendly face at the start of a new campaign arc, this mini brings genuine life to the table. She also works as a player character sculpt for Rogue, Bard, or even a streetwise Fighter background.

Suits adventurers who:

• Need a charismatic NPC merchant or trader for market and town scenes
• Want a versatile female humanoid mini with a non-combat, social role
• Are building out an urban encounter with named personalities
• Play a Bard, Rogue, or Ranger and want a civilian-dressed alternative sculpt
• Enjoy collecting well-characterised NPC miniatures for display

Encounter Hook: The party arrives in Duskhollow seeking a rare reagent. The only lead is a merchant spotted near the docks — arms wide, voice carrying over the crowd, selling what appears to be entirely legitimate spices. But the symbol on her satchel matches the one from the warehouse they raided last week. Roll Insight.

Details

Supplied as a single unpainted miniature at 32mm scale. The sculpt features fine surface detail across the leather strapping, stitched trousers, satchel, and facial expression — all of which reward careful drybrushing and layered washes. Suitable for all standard hobby paints and primers.
