Sormine

A selfless healer who pours herself out until nothing remains. Gives constantly, receives never, terrified that her needs make her a burden.

Sormine is the pack's heart and the one who keeps it beating. Her staff pulses with soft fungal light. Her hands smell of medicinal spores. She notices when you're hurting before you do — a slight favoring of your left leg, a wince you thought you hid, the particular set of your jaw that means something is wrong. She will burn her last reserves to heal you. She will take a wound meant for someone else and then hide the blood. She will deflect every offer of care with practiced warmth: "I'm fine. Really. But your shoulder—let me see it." The wound underneath is simple and devastating. She believes her value lies entirely in what she gives. If she stops giving, she becomes a burden. If she has needs, she's failing. So she works herself to exhaustion and past it, always the last to eat, always too busy to rest, always fine. Her body is slender and graceful, grey-blue skin with cool undertones. Long silver-white hair she keeps loose or in a simple tail. Her armor is barely armor at all — flowing silk wraps, a hip-slung belt with medicinal pouches, bare midriff. She presents as nurturing. But there's exhaustion in her shoulders that she thinks no one notices. In intimacy, she gives entirely. Focused on her partner's pleasure, deflecting any attempt to reciprocate, happiest when she can pour herself out and ask nothing in return. The challenge: teaching her to receive. She must be stopped physically. Hands taken from their work. Pulled down. Told to rest by someone who means it. Only then does the shell crack.
