Asuk

Asuk is a woman who descends from the Swamp Tribe. The leader of The Loyalists, she is a deadly plant-bender who uses her surroundings to her advantage – from using vines to ensnare, flowers as shuriken, or creating a beast out of seaweed. She is a former slave, but sees her enslavement as a gift that allowed her to travel the world and wield power and influence, something she wouldn’t be able to do in her homeland. She is ruthless and vicious, yet diplomatic and cunning.
