HISTORY

ORIGIN

Hailing from a coven of Harvest Witches and Warlocks behind the Great Wall of Gilneas, Willow was sworn to be a protector of nature from a very young age, gifted with feeling nature's emotions and hearing its weeping. During the fall of Gilneas, she was unfortunately torn from her clan and in turn afflicted, barely surviving the transformation and just about keeping her fractured sanity when regaining consciousness.Fleeing to Teldrassil like many of her surviving Gilnean-folk, a new lease of life soon found her, and she was taken on as an Apprentice Druidess by one of the many teachers within Darnassus. However, it wasn't long before the great tree was set ablaze, and once again Willow had to forsake her second home. Forced to become a transient wanderer, she began to collect all sorts of knick-knacks, knitting 'masterful' creations, and spreading an unfathomable amount of kindness from one who is so scarred. Despite the turmoil she has faced, Willow's spirit remains resilient, her heart forever attuned to the whispers of nature and the promise of new beginnings.

CULTURE

The origins of the Wyldehart Coven can be traced back to the earliest days of Gilneas, when the kingdom was but a fledgling settlement on the rugged shores of the Great Sea. As Gilneas began to prosper, attracting settlers from across the Eastern Kingdoms, a group of druids and witches came together to form a community dedicated to the worship of Nature and the Dream. Nestled in the shadow of the towering mountains that bordered Gilneas to the east, they established their sanctuary amidst the ancient forests of the Blackwald.The Coven's culture was one of communal harmony and mutual respect. Each member played a vital role in the life of the coven, contributing their skills and knowledge to the collective welfare. From the healers who tended to the sick and injured with both traditional herbs and druidic magic, to the hunters who provided sustenance for their brethren, every task was performed with a sense of purpose.

Seeds of Change

Willow's journey through the wilds has been a solitary yet profound odyssey, guided by prophetic-like dreams that seem to pull her towards an uncertain destiny. Each night, vivid visions of ancient forests, mystical creatures, and enigmatic symbols fill her dreams, urging her to wander deeper into the untamed wilderness. Her bond with nature grows stronger with each step, her every action intertwined with the rhythm of the earth. The whispers of the wind, the songs of the birds, and the rustling of leaves are her constant companions, providing both guidance and solace.Despite her deep connection to the wild, Willow's heart yearned for human connection, a desire that is unexpectedly fulfilled when she stumbles upon a group of peculiar individuals who, like her, are driven by unique callings and mysterious pasts. This newfound family, diverse in their abilities, personalities, and backgrounds, welcomes her—some with open arms, others with misguided temptations—offering the companionship and support she had longed for.

WILLOW, THE LITTLE SPROUT

A true enigma of nature and all its overgrown beauty, Willow stands as a living embodiment of nature's unpredictable charm. Her fiery mane of ginger dreaded hair cascades down her back like flickering flames, adorned with beads, feathers, and other odd knick-knacks she has found on her travels. One eye, a mesmerising shade of feline-like yellow, glows with an otherworldly intensity, while the other, a mysterious black, holds the depth of ancient forests.Willow’s attire is a vibrant tapestry of patchwork clothing, crafted from an array of fabrics and adorned with feathers and a kaleidoscope of glass beads. Earthy browns, vibrant greens, and occasional bursts of fiery oranges mark her garments, bearing the touch of the elements. Draped across her shoulders is a poncho woven from a multitude of different threads, vines, and other natural materials, evoking a sense of symbiosis with nature itself—wild, yet oddly beautiful in its unique way.As a testament to her close bond with nature, Willow's person is adorned with an array of moss and mushrooms, which seem to flourish in her presence. Mosses of varying shades cling to the hem of her poncho and shoulders, while mushrooms of all shapes and sizes sprout from the folds of her garments. Their earthy hues blend seamlessly with the natural tones of her attire, creating a striking visual tableau that speaks to her role as a guardian of nature.An intensely intoxicating loamy fragrance emanates from her, reminiscent of damp moss, rich soil, and the sweet aroma of wildflowers in full bloom. This scent, combined with her distinctive appearance and enigmatic aura, truly does justify Willow's status as a Wildling of Nature—a wild spirit, deeply connected to the earth and all its unpredictable beauty.

Amidst the assortment of curios adorning the druid's attire, a staff stood out, leaning against her form. Hewn from sturdy oak, it exudes the same earthy aroma that envelops her being. Dressed with a plethora of brightly coloured strips of fabric, the staff seems to shimmer with every movement, while delicate clusters of moss and mushrooms cling to its surface like miniature guardians of the woods. At the top, nestled within a cosy embrace of moss and mud, resides a colony of fireflies, their warm glow casting a soft, enchanting light.Slung over her shoulder is a leather side bag, weathered by countless journeys, adorned with mismatched patches and colourful stitches. This bag, though worn, is a treasure trove of trinkets and essentials gathered from her travels—each patch a story, each stitch a memory.Perched atop her head is a tattered witch's hat, adorned with an array of mushrooms and other wildlife. Tiny fungi of various shapes and colours sprout from its brim, while small plants weave through the fabric, creating a living tapestry that changes with the seasons.Willow's assortment of items extends beyond these notable pieces. Hidden within the folds of her patchwork clothing are small pouches filled with herbs and seeds, ready to be used in her druidic rituals. Tiny charms and amulets, each with their own significance, dangle from her belt and necklace, jingling softly as she moves.These items, from the staff to the side bag and the living hat, not only serve practical purposes but also symbolise Willow's deep connection to the natural world. They are extensions of her spirit, each one telling a part of her story and enhancing her mystical, enchanting presence.
