Althea Nightshade is a young tiefling girl who communicates through an uncommon form of sign language. She's often seen playing with a small plush toy, a cherished item that provides her with comfort and security in the midst of the chaos of the village. There's a gentle innocence and curiosity to her, and she seems to have a natural affinity for nature and the creatures of the forest.   Althea's plush toy is a small, hand-sewn doll made of scraps of cloth and stuffed with cotton. Its body is a deep shade of green, and its hair is made of a soft, fluffy material dyed a vibrant shade of pink. The doll's eyes are large, just like Althea's, and are made of small, polished stones that gleam in the light.
