Mentality

Personal history

This firbolg was born as many are; nameless but loved, in a tight-knit, isolated, furiously fey-focused firbolg community. Her family was a village that believed that firbolgs are the truest protectors of nature, and live to honor their fey connections through their reverence of the forest they’ve inhabited for centuries. She enjoyed this whimsical, blissful life until the day she dared to step outside her realm and encountered her exact physical opposite: a halfling with black, curly hair, and tan, freckled skin, living with their small family on a struggling farm. The two quickly learned that, emotionally and mentally, they matched near perfectly; the halfling’s airy, youthful spirit complimented the firbolg’s down-to-earth yet elegant disposition. Their friendship bloomed like lichen on a tree with every visit the firbolg took back to the farm, and with every return she grew more fond of the world outside her community, and yearned to find ways to help the farm thrive the way her forest did.

Of course, her family found out about her constant wandering, and while they never intended to cast her out, there was a general agreement that she had to choose one world or the other. She stayed for a decade in her village to solidify her choice and take up druidcraft in order to bring the firbolgs’ natural skills to the world beyond. She left with love but with the guarantee that she would never return, and went back to her halfling friend.


When she found the farm again, things were terribly different. Her halfling friend was older, and alone- much of their family had succumbed to a mysterious wasting sickness that had no obvious cure. The two friends found each other to have changed drastically on the outside, but within, they remained undeniable twin flames, and christened each other with new names to represent their journeys in druidism and eternal friendship; Hyacinth and Hyades Hilldreams.


The third act of Hyacinth’s history leads her through heartache, and away from all she has known; Hyades, inevitably, fell ill to the same sickness their family succumbed to, and with no cure to be found on this planet, Hyacinth felt compelled to search beyond the atmosphere and dedicate her time and power to researching the extents to which the extraterrestrial world could possibly solve her earthly problems.

Education

Sooo she knows like a shit ton abt nature thanks to her community/being a druid but as for what gave her qualifications to be in space uhhh whatever Moon says (:

Employment

Botanist/astrobiologist/chef/druid (:

person.sexuality

Hmm she knows she likes guys but girls are pretty too (: Hyades is honestly kind of boy crazy so Hyacinth is like ?!?! Calm down bro lmao

person.gender_identity

Hyacinth is a trans woman. It took being apart from her community and talking with Hyades, who us also trans, to put the pieces together, as the general lack of individual identity amongst firbolgs made her less prepared to really take on introspection about her gender.

Personality

Motivation

Hyacinth refuses to believe that whatever is ailing Hyades is incurable. Her expertise in all that is natural and medicinal on their home planet has gotten her nowhere, but she feels in her core that something beyond the stars, something extraterrestrial, something ~astrobiological~ could yield a cure. It’s the only hope she has left to save her best friend before the mysterious disease claims its last victim.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Savvies- nature!! medicine, the adept utilization of plants and microbes. She studies all things big and small and loves to care for any living organism that can be cared for. Also a great chef (: makes things that are tasty AND nutritious !! and can keep plants alive in p much any environment

Ineptitudes: waaaayy too trusting. Difficulty communicating with others and navigating spaces that arent like her homeland or of halfling nature. Struggles to ask for help because she feels like a lot of what she goes through, she must go through alone, as her troubles with Hyades’ illness is held very close to her chest. Not a great navigator.

Likes & Dislikes

Likes: plants!! flowers!!! stars!!! HYADES!!!! shades of purple and pink and blue!!! She loves being a beautiful woman and seeing others feel healthy and happy. Loves to theorize about all sorts of lifeforms that havent been discovered. Likes being around ppl who dont need to talk much to have a good time.

Dislikes: ppl who are pessimistic or talk too much. Any kind of weather that isn’t mild and temperate. Eating too much sugar and feeling sick :/ also not great at baking but she TRIES

Social

Contacts & Relations

Hyacinth’s best friend in the whole wide world is Hyades Hilldream, a halfling druid who can be best described as ‘a simple farmfolk with poetry in their heart.’ Hyades is ambitious, excitable, and somewhat hard-headed. While Hyacinth felt compelled to stay in one area forever, Hyades dreamed of taking off together on a grand adventure, but their family obligations on the farm were too important. It’s because of Hyacinth and her fey-focused abilities that the Hilldreams’ farm was able to thrive after years of blight and struggle, and Hyades yearns to return the favor somehow. The two of them truly fit like puzzle pieces together; their reverence of nature and ability to see the beauty in every crevice of the world ties them together.

“Are you asking if I love her? Well, how could I not love her. I love her as dry soil loves the run-off from the gutter spout, as flushed cheeks love a wayfaring summer wing. I count my love for her on every freckle on my face in the mirror, on every star in the night sky. We move earth for each other, we bend rivers to the side just to touch the other’s hand… nothing less. Nothing less.” -Hyades about Hyacinth

Family Ties

“It takes a village to raise a child” basically like she had parents and grandparents but like everyone was kind of connected and caring for each other. Had just like a ton of siblings and cousins yknow just walkin around being.. giant n shit

Religious Views

Was raised to believe that firbolgs are like they truest connection between nature/the fey and pretty much everything else and are meant to be vessels for fey blessings into the natural world. Whether this is all super accurate ehhhhhhhhhh idk but she’s a pretty damn good druid/botanist/etc so like it counts for something

Social Aptitude

A little awkward :/ like she jumped from only knowing firbolgs to only knowing halflings and while both races are super friendly and outgoing and welcoming (for the most part) she was still always kind of lost in her own head and focused on the things that made her happy (nature and Hyades) also she just hasnt met a lot of other races or people at all ?!?!?! But she DOES get super sociable at mealtime when shes yknow servin food and seeng if ppl like what she made and if someone wants to talk abt like plants and shit shes like :D

Mannerisms

Navigates the world like everything is so so so SO much tinier than she is and like yea things are smaller than her but shes used to things being SO tiny bc ~halflings~ so shes so delicate with like moving furniture and holding plates and handling plants and animals cuz she just feels BIG all the time
