Tock Ticktinker is a plucky and resourceful gnome clockmaker living in the quaint village of Pendulum Pass. Tock's clocks are prized for their beauty and precision, many of which are marvels of both form and function. Tock is a small figure, standing at just over 3 feet tall, with curly, copper-colored hair, a perpetually smudged face, and a pair of gleaming silver goggles perched on his forehead. He dresses in well-worn overalls and a simple linen shirt, with a myriad of tiny tools hanging from his belt. Tock speaks quickly, his words tumbling over one another in his excitement, yet his voice is clear and surprisingly deep for his size.
