Physical Description

General Physical Condition

A scrawny bug-like individual, limber but still clumsy. could be mistaken for rotund, but the shell hides how skinny she actually is.

Body Features

A shell on her back, protecting some shimmering beetle wings, though large enough to support her body, not large enough to let her fly long distances nor take off from the ground. A hard carapace covers her body, so no part of her is soft. A long snoot on her face that poses a challenge more than any real help as it causes her to run into things.

Facial Features

Small dark freckles along her cheeks and bridge of her long nose and beady black eyes that glimmer and reflect light.

Identifying Characteristics

She is not your average soul-touched and it easily distinguishable from others, granted that you have functioning eyes and a perception above 5.

Apparel & Accessories

She wears a simple moss shirt and a leaf skirt, made by her mother back when she used to live with them, adorned by a sash around her waist to keep it all together. She keeps a large travel duffel on her shell most times and has several odds and ends in her wild hair, namely sticks, leaves, and flowers, some seem intentional and others by accident.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Rafflesia the Putrid was born to Amaryllis the Claycrafter and Alder the Wood-bender in the spring on the spring equinox upon the Asmaria Archipelago Her early life was spent mostly alone as no attendant wanted to attend to a freak, until they found Chester, a male flowersprite, who happily took the job. She was taught the basics of survival until it was time to attend school where she received rough treatment in exchange for her kindness. She passed schooling and eventually decided that she would go off on independent study on the mainland, sailing to Telsoria and residing in Khaspi till she can get safe passage through No Man's Pass.

Morality & Philosophy

Raff believes that killing no matter what is wrong, but at the same time knows that it is necessary for some and even enjoyable for others. It disgusts her. She does not delight in harming others either but understands that if it comes to the fact of hurting others or getting hurt herself, she will hurt them back. She would rather choose kindness than spite. Her philosophy is "What goes around, comes around, eventually!" so she always tries to put out the best in the world.
