Jerris appears to be pretty average for a Stout halfling.  Curly hair of a light brown color, dark eyes, child-like face.  But this is where the similarities between him and his fellows ends.
His face is a bit weathered from the being out in the freezing cold.  He appears more dawrf-like in build, carrying enough body fat to help his stay wrm in such a frigid environment.
 His typical, well-crafted, halfling travelling clothes are old and patched up.  He wears what appears to be goblin-made cold weather garb, hides with with fur and bits of bone, teeth, and claws attached to appear scary.
He bears a human-sized longsword that he uses with both hands, the blade chipped by many more battles than he has seen, but still sharp and strong.  A pair of handaxes are holstered at his belt; with spikes in the back that are useful as ice picks, and blades capable of being used for slicing and digging, as well as chopping, they are almost more tool than weapon.  He also has a roughly made quiver that holds a quartet of barb-tipped, goblin-made javelins.  He keeps all of his weapons clean and sharpened, taking the time to do so after their use.
Personality wise, he is quiet and a bit withdrawn.  Socially awkward, do to his solitary life, and not-particularly-bright, he knows when to listen and keep his mouth shut.  So, his oddly raspy voice is heard infrequently, only when he thinks what he has to say is truly important.
