Personal history
Berry was born in the Feywild with their mother Drew, a retired planeswalker, and father, a pixie simply known to them as Father. Shortly after, Drew decided to return to the material plane to raise her child and for a few, lonely years, the two of them lived in relative solitude.
Before too long, however, Berry grew into their fey heritage and their specific bloodline allowed them to visit with their multitudinous siblings. As they grew older, the pathways became too small for them to use, but their siblings would still come to visit them.
When they were nine years old, Drew had business with a carnival, but would not let Berry go. Goaded by their siblings, Berry snuck into the carnival and it has become a faded memory of wonder and amazement. A couple of years later, one of their siblings casually brings up the night they lost something at the carnival. The memory comes flooding back and fourteen year old Berry vows to find the missing thing. After a couple aimless years, Berry gets a letter from their mother that the Carnival arrived in Whitestone.
When Berry arrives, the carnival is packing up and Berry confronts the owners about their need to be at the carnival. They allow them to test their worth and Berry performs spectacularly, securing a spot in the Carnival. They spend eight years traveling as a carnie, having forgotten about their quest in liu of the wonder and amazement of the Witchlight Carnival.
Now back in Whitestone, their siblings are staging a boycott of Berry for a percieved mistake (not saving a treat for little Petal) and Berry finds themself more alone than they've been in years. The feeling reminds them of their quest and they are raring to get back to it!
Education
Berry grew up on fairytales. Try as she might, Drew's education for Berry was a hard fought battle when they could whisk away to the Feywild. Drew had Berry make a promise: the next time they entered the Feywild, Drew would continue her journey and leave as well.
So Berry was able to learn the basics of Ranger-craft while enjoying their siblings company on the material world.
Employment
Drew has worked for the Witchlight Carnival for eight years. He has small roles in various performances, but mostly holds a role of barker and 'general ambiance.' The owners have decided that having a harengon that is constantly bickering, playing, and covorting with pixies adds spectacularly to the wonder of the carnival.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Berry successfully got hired by Mister Witch and Mister Light.
Failures & Embarrassments
Berry spent three years with no idea how to find the carnival, when they recieved a letter from their mother saying exactly where it was.

person.gender_identity
Berry was originally Barry Planeshopper, but quickly decided to go with the name Berry as that's what all of their siblings thought they were called. They decided to go with They/them because their pixie siblings had a hard time wrapping their head around gender and Berry was pretty indifferent to notion themself.
