Physical Description
Body Features
My body resembles my mother's; it's now a dark green plant-like texture with cherry red symbols scattered all over it. With Bark addressing several key aspects while others branch out from it. I’ve got a couple of vines sprouting from my shoulder blades that I like to wrap around my arms. My eyes are yellow, not the green like my sister's. I get to hold onto my name shake and rock my cherry red hair.
Special abilities
I have the ability to control and manipulate any plant life. I have the power to heal as well and not just plant life. I can feel everything that happens in my wild, untamed forest. I can tap into just about any kind of earth magic out there. I able to turn into any plant life out their. The most important skill I have is the ability to help people connect with the forest and become Druids. They gain slimare powers that I to safeguard the Forest. Some of them will explore Elema to lend a hand and work towards achieving a better harmony between nature and society.
Specialized Equipment
The only gear I’ve got is my Sister Staff, but it’s more than enough. This staff isn’t just a tool; it’s a piece of my family, a symbol of our bond that I carry with me every day. Each of my Seven Sisters contributed a part of themselves to craft it. Together, they infused their unique powers and essences into the wood, making sure I would never walk alone. Every legendary mage wields a staff, they told me, but this one was special—it carried their legacy, their hopes, and their magic.
The staff itself is a living extension of me. It pulses with the energy of my sisters, responding to my thoughts and emotions. When I grasp it, I feel their presence, like they’re right beside me, guiding me. The wood is smooth, with intricate symbols and carvings representing each sister’s contribution: vines from one, blossoms from another, even the texture of bark that signifies our connection to the Living Forest. It’s not just a pretty heirloom, though. This staff amplifies my power, allowing me to channel the deepest earth magic with greater precision and strength. The magic I can wield with it is far more potent than what I could do alone—whether I’m nurturing life, calling forth the wild nature of the forest, or healing the wounded.
The staff also has some unique magical properties. It can absorb energy from the forest around me, rejuvenating my own strength when I’m exhausted. In moments of great need, it can even call upon the spirits of my sisters, offering their wisdom and guidance in battle or times of crisis. This connection isn’t just about power—it’s about family. The Sister Staff reminds me that I’m never alone, even when I’m standing as the sole protector of this forest. It makes my magic more than just spells; it turns it into a shared experience, a bond that links me to my past, present, and future. Every time I use it, I feel them cheering me on, their energy pushing me forward.
It may be my only piece of equipment, but with this staff in hand, I feel invincible, like nothing is beyond my reach.

Mental characteristics
Personal history
I became a guardian spirit when my mom had to leave after reconnecting with Chikyu the goddess of trees. She couldn’t stay to watch over us, so I asked both Mom and Chiyuri to make me the spirit guardian to protect our home, where my sisters’ seedlings and the Banba grow. They happily granted me that blessing.
Since then, I’ve protected the Living Forest, started a Druid circle with some of my sisters, the Banba, and others who felt the same connection. My team has grown strong over the seasons. I miss my sisters, but their great-grandkids still wander these woods, and I’m now seen as the Oak Mother. The Banba still collaborate with us, even though they’ve become part of Saint Oxford’s realm. Seasons change, but I’m curious to see what’s ahead.

Accomplishments & Achievements
My greatest achievement is something all mothers can relate to, I think. My only seedling, Sus, grew into her own person—unique, strong, and so much more than I could have hoped. Even before I became the guardian spirit, she was already making waves. As a watcher, she developed the runic systems that still shield our forest, weaving intricate alarms and traps with the knowledge she gathered from a few traveling mages. They weren’t an easy creation—she faced countless challenges, but Sus never wavered. Each time I watched her work, I felt my heart swelling with pride.
What filled me most with joy was her decision to follow her own path, even if it meant not joining the Fauna Druids. She embraced the forest on her terms, guiding Dryads and newly arriving Druids with a wisdom far beyond her years. Her life was full of purpose, and her legacy lives on in every rune, every whisper of protection woven into our woods.
She brought me endless pride, not just because of her achievements, but because of the person she chose to become. I miss my little Sus every day, but her spirit lingers in the forest she loved.

Failures & Embarrassments
My greatest loss is one that still haunts me. It happened a few seasons after I took on the role of guardian spirit, and it’s something I failed to prevent. Two of my family members—one of my great-grand nieces and a druid from the Bamba family—stood to defend the forest against a group of mages. I didn’t know what the mages sought, but they brought destruction. I couldn’t protect them in time. My great-grand niece fell that day, and so did the Bamba druid. Their loss shattered my heart.
This tragedy led to a rift between the Dryads and the Banba, one that I couldn’t mend. For the first time, the forest felt divided, and that pain lingers even now. I vowed never to let something like this happen again. I make it a point to ensure that no family member walks the path of both Dryad and Druid while living or visiting the Living Forest, for their own safety.
The regret I carry from that day has shaped the way I guard this forest. I learned that even with all my strength, there are some things I can’t stop. But I will always strive to protect those under my care, no matter the cost.

Intellectual Characteristics
My strength doesn’t come just from my connection to the mana of the world—it’s the knowledge I’ve gained through countless seasons of watching, learning, and guiding the Living Forest. I know every root and leaf, every creature that calls this place home. I can feel when something is out of balance, and I’ve learned how to restore harmony before chaos can take hold. My connection to the forest isn’t just spiritual; it’s intellectual. I understand the complex ecosystems that thrive here, how each element relies on the other to flourish.
Over the years, I’ve developed a deep knowledge of earth magic. From the simplest spells that help flowers bloom to ancient magic that can shift the landscape, I’ve studied it all. But knowledge is meant to be shared, and I take pride in mentoring the Druids who come to the forest. Teaching them how to protect and nurture nature, just as I do, is one of the most fulfilling parts of my existence.
When danger arises, I don’t rush in blindly. I’ve learned the value of strategy. Whether it’s dealing with mages seeking to exploit the forest or natural disasters threatening its survival, I weigh each option, considering the long-term effects of my actions. I may be a guardian spirit, but even I understand that sometimes words and understanding are more powerful than any spell.

Personality Characteristics
Motivation
My drive was to create a space where my mom could return home without having to stress about me and my sisters while she was away handling grandma's tasks. And now it’s all about protecting the forest, my sisters and my daughters descendants, and the family members who join my Druid circle. To give them a amazing place to live. I also want to build a stronger connection with the other living beings in the world. To find a harmonious balance.
