Body Features

Papaya has a variety of scars all over her body. The ones that are usually visible are those on her arms and legs.

She has small, vertical scars that circle around her forearm as if they were cut by blades.



Her neck has two scars that slash down her collar bone, which is slightly mis-aligned, suggesting it might have been broken and healed incorrectly in the past.



Her torso has the worst of all the scarring. There is a large chunk of her right torso skin missing and is covered in scar tissue that looks extremely painful to live with.



Another notable scar on her body is near her right collar bone and chest. It looks as if it came from a stab wound of some kind.

Mentality

Personal history

Papaya grew up in a forgotten village that was heavily racist against Tanned Goblins, or as the village called them; Amber Goblins. Papaya was raised by a loving Halfling in the village named Handel. Handel was very protective of Papaya as she was a goblin in a xenophobic community. Handel always tried to keep Papaya away from the horrors of the village around them, and thus, he often isolated her from other kids her age in the village.



With this isolation came curiosity for Papaya. She would begin to ask question after question, and when her exhausted father could no longer answer, he would provide her books on the topics she was interested in. Over the years, Papaya became an avid collector of knowledge. She wanted to learn EVERYTHING. But as she continued her pursuit of knowledge, she felt she needed to get out of the house in order to properly learn things. After months of asking, Papaya was finally allowed to leave the house on her own to explore. However, it didn't go well for her.



When Papaya was 12 she went out into the forest alone to study the birds. She would wander around, making sure to track her steps so she wouldn't get caught into the magic of the forest. Turns out, Papaya was followed by a couple of rotten kids from the village. They started to follow and harass her. Papaya tried to climb up a tree to get away from them, but they quickly caught her and threw her onto the ground. One of the kids pinned her head into the dirt while another grabbed their knife and cut off two of her fingers. Luckily, Papaya's screams alerted Handel and he got there in time to stop the whole ordeal before it escalated.



After that experience, Papaya knew she had to be more careful not to get caught by the rest of the townsfolk again. However, she wasn't very lucky, as later on she would get one of her bottom fangs and her earrings ripped out a year or so later.



As these events occurred, Papaya started to craft her own routes around the forest and village to avoid these people. She took note of the daily routines of the people who hurt her and used that information to avoid them at all costs.



Papaya still found herself to be trapped in the house, as Handel became even more protective of her after the incident. When she got older, around 18, she started to sneak out on her own to study the wildlife, religions, etc. It wouldn't be until she was 19 years old that she would wander off on her own to the summer temple. She didn't realize her life would completely change as the events of The Hidden/Forgotten Village and The Underdark Depths campaign events would take place.

Education

Papaya is mostly self educated. In terms of life skills such as cooking, cleaning, etc. Papaya was taught those skills by her father.

Mental Trauma

Papaya has had multiple traumatic events in her life. She was severely mutilated as a baby, had her fingers cut off, her teeth pulled out, bones broken and ears ripped apart from other kids in the village. She watched the village, along with her father, get turned to dust. She was killed in the most painful way possible and then had to feel the pain of that death in reverse when she was revived. That is just the early stuff.



Overall, Papaya has become jumpy and suspicious of people because of these experiences. She is often reminded of these experiences through the smallest of gestures, objects, etc. And after some events that appear in The Underdark Depths, Papaya has become very unstable. Papaya is now looking to learn to accept her feelings instead of bottling them up and letting them fester.

Intellectual Characteristics

Papaya is the type of person to want to learn everything. While her obsession with knowledge started with alchemy, it has expanded into a desire to learn as much as she can about any given topic. Unfortunately, this need for knowledge has grown into a lack of self-preservation. Papaya has little care for her own well-being unless she is immediately about to die. Papaya will jump head first into any dungeon, cave, etc. If it means acquiring knowledge on a topic, item or anything really.

Morality & Philosophy

Papaya is the alignment of Chaotic Good. She is the type who will shoot you for the greater good. She tries to do what is right regardless of what any laws say. However, her fear and anxiety can sometime cloud her judgment. When she is sent into Fight or Flight mode, all that "greater good" stuff is thrown out the window as she just focuses on trying to stay alive.
