Rose Thornbury
Personal History
Rose, once a renowned botanist in Thornhold, found her calling after cleansing the town well and tending to ailing citizens. However, her unconventional use of deceased animals in fertilizers, culminating in the infamous "prize turkey" incident, led to her banishment. Undeterred, Rose found solace in the Thornhill woods, earning the "Forest Mother" moniker for her kindness and knowledge.

Appearance & Attire
Rose's wiry limbs and sinewy muscles belie her age. She favors a plain, soft yellow day dress, a stark contrast to her ashen white skin and dull gray eyes, rarely seen beneath a lifetime of wrinkles. Her slightly crooked nose ends in a sharp point, and her long, hanging ears are adorned with trinkets and rings. Her fingers stained a dark purplish red, are bony and long, with no rings adorning them. Instead, woven bracelets with letter-bearing beads adorn her wrists.

A pouch containing vials of rare herbal extracts and powdered ingredients. A worn leather-bound journal filled with detailed notes on local flora, fauna, and remedies. A carved wooden staff adorned with dried flowers and feathers, imbued with subtle earth magic.What do they sound like
