Appearance
She stands at about 5' 8'', with a soft stare and pale skin. There are no tan marks on her, despite the amount of time she spends outside. Her hair, although well kempt, shows unruly in color with an unsaturated display of purples, greens, and pinks. Her top, usually hidden underneath simple armor, hangs off of one shoulder. It's mostly darker than her skin, a patchwork of various flowers, vines, leaves, and branches. Although barefoot, her bottom half still has plenty of protection via her function-over-form bottoms. This light brown pair of heavily-pocketed pants were a gift from Valen Bendigo.
Background
It took over a century for her to learn her name. Born from a young willow tree, she grew up in a dense swamp. Despite her natural willingness to learn, she never had the opportunity to learn a structured language while isolated in nature. Of course, "isolated" is only used within a modern context. To her, she was anything but isolated. Her primary source of communication lied within the plants that grew around her. She would sing soft melodies to coax them into bearing fruit, or whisper with an energy uncommon to the area about whatever she was thinking about to the very same tree that she had stuck to her entire life. Each day she would allocate some time for each hobby after tending to her needs. A small farm meant for beetroot and wheat proved as more-than-adequate sustenance for her lifestyle.
Or, at least, until Valen came along. He, in his long journey, found the Tree of Wonder mesmerizing and soon settled down close by. Initially, she only watched him from a distance. Then, once she had deemed it long enough to consider him a permanent resident of the swamp, she let herself be spotted. Valen immediately introduced himself to her, speaking fast and with such energy that she, despite the language barrier, grew a liking to him. From then on, Valen called her Willow. Willow learned his language through daily interaction, and Valen learned her tricks that she had invented throughout a century of life in the swamp. Even today, Willow can be seen farming in the several fields around Mossfall, the town with an absolutely wonderful willow tree in the center.
Talents
Willow has a knack for farming, due to her many years of farming for herself. Because she lived off of only the crops around her, she especially grew to learn the intricacies of growing and harvesting both wheat and beetroot.
Weaknesses
Willow is connected to Mossfall's center tree, dubbed the "Tree of Wonder." If this tree were to die, she would soon follow suit. Presently, both her and the tree are thriving. Additionally, in her eagerness for relations with other creatures, she almost always assumes they have good intentions. This makes her viable to manipulation and / or an easy way into Mossfall's internal security.
