As far as anyone can tell, the Hawes' have been a staple in Bree-Town. The mothers and daughters working as washer women, bakers, gardeners and farmers, herbalists, or midwives. The men metal smithing, wood working, farming, or occasionally joining the local watch. They are a simple family and Tris is no different. It's a good living and as far as she's concerned Bree-Town and Bree-Land are the best places to be. Everywhere else is inferior. Excepting maybe Hobbiton and Michael-Delving, but Tris is a Bree-Lander through and through, it is her home.

The Hawes' are a simple family and Tris is no different. Though she has a great admiration for lady warriors and marvels at the adventurers passing through, Tris herself is a washer and a mender. Some days find her in the fields planting or harvesting, others find her up to her elbows in flour as she helps with the baking (she's quite proud of her pies). While she works hard, she is easily distracted by the stories others have to tell and has taken to "borrowing" her older brother's shield and sword to run off with her friend Tilve some days. She bears the bruising of carrying, and using, a shield, and is more than thankful the longer sleeves of her dresses cover them. She's still not even moderately skilled, but Tilve is helping.

More recently Tris signed on with The Rusty Nail, an Inn being built in need of workers. With her skill sets she was well suited to the position, would get to hear more stories from more travelers, and ease the worrying of her mother who had nine children still at home to worry over.
