Perhaps the most notable example of such a Gnome is Rowana Forestfoot, the eccentric, animal focused and forest-dwelling captain of the Glimdwarrow Groundhogs. That isn't to say that Rowana is a spoilsport who enjoys quashing the fun of her team-mates, far from it; she has simply mastered the art of not getting caught when up to mischief, and has become quite adept at getting her allies out of trouble when they forget to think before acting!
In fact, many pundits have noticed that, if it wasn't for Rowana's timely interventions, the Groundhogs wouldn't have been nearly as successful as they have been (which still isn't that successful in the grand scheme of things! - Ed).
Miniature Review
As with Rodney Roachbait, Rowana Forestfoot adds some much needed height to the team. This time however it's a stag rather than a fishing rod. Although the stag is really nice with a good pose, the pigeons are the real stars of the show. One has a players cap, another has the referee's cards and the last is wearing the team scarf and is perched on Rowana's hand.
Rowana is fairly small and simple compared to everything else going on, but her hair and acorn hat do stand out when looking from the back of the miniature.

Roundup
Rowana Forestfoot came out all ok and the pigeons are very much still my favorite parts of the miniature. The stag is a nice addition and although I kept the color scheme fairly simple it came out nicely. The antlers help to add some brightness to the piece and the browns help tie it in with the Treemen and brings the whole team together.
