Description
This slender wisp of a woman looks as if a willow had taken an elf-like form, and uprooted herself to begin walking. Faint curves distinguish her as a female, barely clad with bits of leather and hide. Dark brown skin harkens that of young tree bark, with the texture of a newly sprouted leaf, while the wild mane of forest green looks like the windswept willow’s foliage. She sports eyes the color of a jungle cat, which even assume a further felid look when her hunter sense manifests. She carries a simple sickle at her side, and wears a bow over her shoulder with a collection of wicked, natural-hewn arrows at her hip.
Background
Flora was a young fey, just into the cusp of adulthood, born of a small circle of Killoren that live deep in the Hullack, when her flighty spirit led her to break out on her own early in her coming of age, wanting to experience the whole of the forest that was her home. She wandered though the vast expanse of the forest, learning each and every tree, shrub, and creature. A natural born wildling, she was also gifted with the aspect of the Hunter, and her insight alone guided her eye and hand as a deadeye shot with her hand-carved longbow.
Eventually, she had strayed so far from her clan that she lost her way back home; praying to the White Stag for a companion in her wandering, she came upon a youngling panther that was a runt strayed from his litter, and the two bonded almost instantly. Over the next year the two forged an even closer bond to each other, and eventually Flora came to realize that her panther had been awakened, with ‘people thoughts,’ including his growing affection for the killoren. In the spring of his first heat, the two of them consummated their final bond as mates, and now he is her protector, her fearless mount, and her partner. He has also shown to have been feytouched, with latent bloodline coming to the surface as he reached full maturity.
She ultimately found her way to the Starlight Grove, and knit herself into the Circle there, to grow in her skills both as druid and defender.
Her most notable contributions to the balance of the Hullack were to aid in thwarting an attempt by a group of Malarite huntsmen in collaboration with a corrupted nymph to reawaken the Elf Eater on Toril. Also to stop the poaching of owlbears in the Hullack and finding their congress a safe haven away from hunters’ attention.
Personality Profile
Personality Profile: Flora is a wild spirit, made flesh. Her connection to nature is such that she feels quite out of place in any developed setting. She will fidget and twitch in such settings, unless she is in the company of fellow forest kin to keep her rooted. Even so, she is a curious creature, and not bashful about getting up in a new creature’s face to learn more about it, or its customs and rituals. She is normally playful and capricious, but should her forest home become threatened, her capriciousness can become almost sadistic against those who do so. She is a simple thing, only needing her bare necessities for existence, and needing little of the comforts that human folk covet. She holds that the cycle includes decay, and she has no qualms with death, so long as it brings new life in its wake.
Goals
Flora exists for little more than to protect her forest home. It is a part of her, and she seeks to bring it to as perfect a balance as she can. She seeks to reclaim the places that have fallen into ruin and accelerate their overtaking by nature.
