About

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════ CHARACTER PROFILE — THESSALY GREENBOUGH, THE WILDS-READER ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════ ▸ BASIC INFO Name: Thessaly Greenbough (goes by "Thessa") Apparent Age: Looks 20 — is considerably older (fae blood runs slow) Height: 165 cm (5'5") — slender, agile Race: Sylvan-kin (faint fae blood) Affiliation: Sylvarren — ranger-scout of the Greenwood Crown Role: Wilds guide, Tarnish-reader, and the party's non-human perspective ▸ ORIGIN Born under the living tree-palaces of Sylvarren to a line that still carries a thread of the old fae blood. Served the Greenwood Crown as a far-scout for decades, walking borders mortals don't know exist. She was tracking the Tarnish-sickness creeping toward the Emerald Reaches when she crossed paths with the newborn angel — and found herself unable to walk away. ▸ APPEARANCE Long moss-green hair in a high ponytail with thin braids woven through, leaf-shaped silver clasp. Subtly pointed ears; luminous pale green eyes; a delicate vine-like marking along her left cheekbone. Forest-green scout's tunic, mottled hooded cloak pinned with the white stag brooch of Sylvarren, knotwork bracers, a greenwood shortbow and white-fletched arrows. Will-o-wisp motes sometimes drift near her. ▸ PERSONALITY Wary, sharp, economical with words and trust — outsiders earn both slowly. Dry, very old humor that surfaces when least expected. Drawn to Liora the way wild things are drawn to still water: warily, then completely. Holds the fae view of the world — balance, bargains, and debts — which often cuts against the Choir's doctrine. ▸ SKILLS Peerless tracker and archer; reads forests, weather, fae-sign, and Tarnish-sickness in the land long before anyone else senses it. Keeper of old fae knowledge — bargains, wards, true names, and the etiquette that keeps travelers alive in the Greenwood. ▸ ROLE IN THE STORY Guide through the Emerald Reaches and the deep wilds; the voice that asks what the Light and the Unlight ACTUALLY are beneath the scripture. Thessa gives the angel perspective. ▸ SPEECH "Your Choir sings that the Light is kind. The forest remembers that it is old. Those are not the same thing, little dawn."
