  LORE'ITHIL BLACKCREST    —  "A small being that smells of soil riddled with dampened moss, I have grown fond of the Mud Child, whom I admire wallowing amongst the foliage of grass and shroom. Such dedication and patience with the world around them brings me to pause, take in the scenery, and understand we are all one with the world around us."

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.
