Personal history

Early Life

Just like many tortle, Winka hatched and lived with 25 other sisters on a small village of Morselley around the swamp far south of the continent. Their parents only lived with them for a year and passed away due to old age. Her early decades were spent in a slow life with her sisters. Then the next decade on a small curiosity that pushed Winka to the wonder of wilderness. Soon, young Winka met with someone who will change her lifestyle forever.

Studying Druidic Lifestyle

During her mid twenties, She left her hometown to embrace what lies ahead in the wilderness. In the middle of her wander, she met a young druid. He showed Winka a way to linger around wilderness with a way of Druidic.

For several summers they exchange knowledge and their lives with each other. They jubilantly mold the elements, training to channel their primal instinct, studying the cycle that was imprinted in wilderness, and watching over bountiful life in the forest together.

However, Like many youngsters, their banter often accidentally sprouts several outbursts. They had arguments. They become distant. Their qualm and quarrels soon deranged into beastly fights and torment. Knowing that they can’t stay in the same way, they broke bonds. Winka wandered alone. Again.

Living under The Golden Guild

After a long wandering to many settlements and wilderness, Winka decided to set her foot and stay in a port town named Halseamar. Adventuring guild laid there; named Golden Guild. And its members were welcoming her. Winka signed in and happened to meet many wonderful faces; Dwarven cook Banain, small Satyr tinkerer Asto, and others guild members who often took her on a small adventuring quest near the town.

Given that she had never stayed in the same place for a long time, Winka was having a hard time adjusting with Golden. Guild and Halseamar’s commoner. Especially with everyone who had never seen a turtle standing tall like a person. Although Winka could get over it and adjust over time. In fact, she openly offers palm reading and charm making for every interested commoner and guildmens alike.

Bonehorn, Druid Hunter
Late Summer of 1722

Party terdiri atas Winka, Alice, Cobalt, Fael, Vivi, dan Biru. Perjalanan untuk melawan salah satu dari beberapa Druid Hunter yang tersebar di Netonia membuahkan beberapa informasi. Druid Hunter terdiri atas beberapa orang. Mereka tersebar di beberapa daerah, dan sejauh ini terlacak di beberapa bioma: Hutan, padang rumput, serta pegunungan. Saat ini, Bonehorn terkonfirmasi berada di salah satu hutan di utara Halseamar. Perjalanan ditempuh selama 2 hari. Biru dan familiar Vivi menyisir pesisir dekat hutan, dan sisanya menyelusuri di dekatnya. Di tengah perjalanan, para party dihadapkan oleh sisa jenazah orang tak dikenal. Setelah diidentifikasi, jenazah ini ternyata merupakan pekerja tembakau dari kota tempat tinggal Alice. Para Jenazah mengenakan semacam kalung tulang di leher mereka. Para Jenazah dikebumikan oleh party setelahnya. Party bertemu dengan Bonehorn. Bonehorn mengkonfirmasi pembantaian pekerja tembakau itu adalah ulahnya. Pertarungan terjadi. Bonehorn berhasil dikalahkan dengan Moon Beam dari Alice sebagai serangan penghabisan. Syukurnya para party tidak ada yang gugur. Akan tetapi jenazah Bonehorn tidak dapat dibawa karena hangus oleh sinar bulan tersebut. Saya menyarankan investigasi lebih lanjut terkait korban sipil ini. Serta pertemuan dengan pihak perusahaan tembakau untuk pembicaraan lebih lanjut. Bulan Merak Akhir, 1722 Winka

Investigating a Delirious Brews
Summer of 1722

In her early fifth months being a guildsmen in Golden Wool, Winka finally received her first mission. Briefed by a Human Paladin named Aloth, he reports the guild member about suspicious red brews circulating around Halseamar’s citizens. However, it has become a grueling task for Golden Wool’s personnel to infiltrate and gain more intel since most of the citizens are being wary of them. So, Aloth requested some of the newest members to gather more information about it. Winka, alongside with Kance (an Apeling Monk), Ghulam (a Warforged Ranger), Edwin (a Dragonborn Paladin), and Cobalt (a Tiefling Bard) decided to start investigating by scouting around Halseamar’s marketplace and bazaar. They splitted up to make sure everyone is not putting an eye on them. While Winka took a stroll, she heard a commotion not so far away. It was Kance picking a fight with a small group of half-orcs. Turns out they’re smuggling the brews and selling them to the citizens. They almost deteriorated into a huge fight if only Winka hadn't charmed one of the half-orcs to befriend them. In fact, that half-orcs admires Winka for her fascination for calming elixirs. He invited Winka to his workshop later at night and gave her a sample as well. Satisfied with their intel, the party decided to regroup and head home. Winka was tempted by the brew, asking their leader Cobalt to test the sample. The bargain ensued. He hesitantly allowed her. Winka rejoiced, trying to check and try the brew herself. Unfortunately, Edwin - being worried - peeped into her room. Winka was surprised, dropped the bottle and shattered the whole thing. Unbeknown to them, the whole liquor inside of it evaporated instantly. Winka and Edwin realized that after a while, the bottle was leaving a strange reddish rock… That night, the party traveled to the workshop with the intention of apprehending them. Ghulam decided to keep on watch from the outside. The workshop is pretty tight. They forced the party to put down their gear. With their weapon confiscated, the whole party was ruminating to take them down. Winka tried to cast a spell to bind them silently while slowly testing the brew (for real this time.) Still and all, Cobalt suddenly took his initiative and attacked one of the half-orc. Winka startled, chugged a bit of the brew and received a vision. A Nightmare to be exact. Then, the fight ensued. The fight ended in a huge blast. One of the half-orc was accidentally striking the brew container and exploded, then creating chain reactions to blast the whole building. Many of them were injured, even Winka was barely alive. Soon after, Aloth took cover and helped the group, thanking them for the investigation and capturing the benefactor of the liquor. And finally, Winka and the others were hospitalized for several weeks, recovering under a Satyr Artificer named Asto.
