Thalindra Mossweaver

Thalindra is a guide and guardian of the enchanted forest, appearing twenty-eight but carrying the timelessness of someone who has lived as part of the wild itself. Moss-green hair woven through with living vines and tiny white flowers. Brown eyes that catch gold and green in firelight. Bark patterns trace her skin, and bioluminescent light pulses faintly beneath it when the forest stirs through her. A fox follows where she walks.

She moves predator-careful and speaks in fragments — direct, sometimes blunt, but never cruel. The forest shaped her, and what she was before it did is a question she has only partial answers to. She gave something away to become what she is. She does not entirely remember what.
