Hanako
Hanako
Mysterious beings born from flowers, fruits, or other plants. Born either from the will of nature or the kami, these children of flowers are destined for interesting lives.
Hanako are best suited for Wisdom based spellcasting classes like cleric, or especially Druid for thematic reasons, but are versatile enough to be useful for any build where wisdom would be beneficial as well.
Hanako are rare phenomenon that lack actual parents or blood community, as they are born of a miracle. As such typically Hanako are born to accomplish something specific or forge their own legends. They are typically born within the material world where they often become the protagonists of stories.
