Rune Eyebright
Rune Eyebright is a Rabbitfolk Ranger who specializes in archery. He was born Oliver Toetufts, older brother of Toby Toetufts. Like Toby, he lost his parents at a young age, and he was taken in by his Uncle & Aunt, who considered it more an obligation than a pleasure. Although they weren't cruel, they were neglectful, and Oliver & Toby chose to rely more on each other than on anyone else. When their older cousin took them to Kas Amnon to visit the Witchlight Carnival in 1083 SKR, he kept the money meant for their tickets and snuck them in. This made them vulnerable to the Hourglass Coven, and Oliver had his name stolen from him. Confused, he chased after the thief and found himself in the Feywild.
He traveled these marvelous lands, having various mentors, and befriended the Satyr Dawn, taking the name Rune Eyebright for himself. He and Dawn eventually returned to Tol and parted ways. Oliver, not even remembering his name, found that his Uncle and Aunt hadn't seen Toby in almost 8 years and didn't greatly mind. Frustrated with them, he ventured to Kas Amnon, knowing that the Witchlight Carnival was returning, and hoping to find his brother somewhere in its vicinity. The night before the Carnival, he was (coincidentally?) reunited with Toby (now calling himself Skull) and Dawn (whom Toby was trying to rob her). He also met Alarias ap Nithodel, Pietr Blackberry, and Gaspar Greenseeker. When Alarias spoke of their patron Zybilna, all of the group realized they had all had childhood experiences where Zybilna had helped them for the better. They decided to travel to the Carnival together, which led Rune and his friends to travel through the Feywild Domain of Prismeer, seeking to help that realm's captive Queen as the Witchlight Court. He recovered his name and found himself learning the ways of the Feywild even more strongly.
He had many adventures with his friends, fighting hags, helping giants to find romance, and traveling with strange companions. In the end, Zybilna, the rightful Queen of Prismeer, was freed. As with all the members of the Witchlight Court, Toby wished for a way to return to the Witchlight Carnival any time he chose, and he received an enchanted golden ticket. He and Toby left the Feywild and used the treasure they'd accumulated to buy a home together.
