Edda Thornroot

The Witch

About

The Witch Race: Human Age at death: 61 Origin: Rural mountain settlements. Accent: Welsh inspiration. Education: Extremely educated. Self-taught botanist. Alchemist. Healer. Religious? No. Believes nature itself is sacred. Backstory Edda spent decades developing remedies. Reduced infant mortality. Stopped epidemics. Saved countless lives. Then a plague arrived. People needed a culprit. She became one. Secret She actually caused the plague. Accidentally. A treatment she developed mutated. She spent years trying to fix it. Nobody ever learned the truth. Personality Compassionate Stubborn Brilliant Incapable of admitting mistakes How she died: What she remembers The villagers dragged her to the pyre. She remained dignified. Silent. Defiant. A martyr for knowledge. The flames took her. What actually happened The fire terrified her. She begged. Screamed. Cried. Promised to stop practicing medicine. Promised anything. Nobody listened. The flames consumed her anyway. This isn't weakness. It's humanity. Even the bravest people fear burning alive. What haunts her is not the pain. It's that her final moments weren't noble. Additional twist As the flames rise, several villagers she once saved refuse to meet her eyes. Not because they hate her. Because they know she's innocent. And do nothing.
