Name: Tris Oakfriend

Age: 33

Race: fairy female

Appearance: Tris is a slightly built fairy, about 3’9”. She has long, slightly wavy, silvery blond hair. She has pale blue eyes, long fingernails, and dresses in billowing pants that are gathered at the ankles, and long tunics, generally in shades of soft green, gray, and off white. She wears soft moccasins made of a thick, tree bark material. She wears a variety of jewelry (rings, earrings and necklace), mostly made from wooden beads, shells, and seeds or nuts. She has a soft, musical voice, and she laughs often. Her skin color is like weak tea. Tris carries a twisted and carved wooden staff. It’s made from an oak branch off her home tree, and she has strengthened it with her magic so that it is virtually unbreakable. At the top, surrounded by curving twists of wood, is a large piece of amber.

Personality: Sweet, friendly, cheerful, curious about everything. She rarely fights, preferring to talk her way out of things, or use magic to escape. Can get bored with the mundane tasks of everyday living, and might wander off to investigate something if she gets too bored. Tris enjoys learning new things, playing games, singing and dancing, and making things for others to enjoy.

Profession: Craftsperson, mage. Tris enjoys making things with her hands, and is very good at it. She weaves baskets, makes fabric and clothing, and generally can be counted upon to make small to medium items to dress up her client’s homes. She prefers to work with natural materials, and likes to make even the most mundane of items very pretty. She uses touches of magic to change colors, or modify wood and materials in unique ways. Anyone whose seen her twisted wooden staves is ruined for plain walking or fighting sticks.

Alignment: Tris is good, although fairy goodness might sometimes be seen as neutral to someone from another culture. Her primary love is for the things of the earth. Animals, forests, and the earth herself.

Home: Tris is from The Great Forest, and makes her home in a tree house built high in the limbs of an ancient oak. Although many fairies choose to hide their homes inside their tree, or to build their home to blend into the background, Tris’s home is given away by the tinkling of the many beautiful chimes she hangs around her home tree.

Background: Tris was born in the midst of The Great Forest, to Jenna and Reese Oakfriend. Her parents are loving and kind, and she grew up very happy, as fairies are likely to do. Her mother is a musician, who excels at the harp and other string instruments. Her father is a craftsman, who taught her everything he knows about making beautiful and functional things. Tris has traveled often, all throughout the forest. She has many friends, but also likes occasional quiet time to commune with the earth magics. Her parents both sit on the Council of Elders who advise her local clan.

Weapon: Staff and magic

Magic: Yes, very connected to earth and plants. Anything to do with plants. She can make them grow, shrink, move. Her staff is magical, and when she plants it on the earth her magical strength is multiplied.

Specialities: Crafts, gardening, preparation of vegetables as food, baking, magic (especially to do with nature), flute and singing.

Attributes: Smart, dextrous, fast for her size. Not terribly strong.

Quirks: loves broccoli and other veggies. Hates to eat meat, and only will do so in extreme circumstances, and after asking the animal‘s forgiveness. She has a particular fondness for chocolate, which is very difficult to find in her home forest.

Fighting Style: Martial arts with a wooden staff, magic.

Element: Earth

Weakness: She lacks physical strength due to her small size. Her curiosity sometimes gets her into trouble. Her love of pretty things, and ease of boredom sometimes gets her distracted from the task at hand. Tends to like and trust people before they've earned it.

Strength: She has magical ties to the earth (as do all fairies), and can control the elements with her powers. She is very agile and has a cheerful nature that inclines people to like her unless they have something against fairies. She has excellent eye-hand coordination.

Belongings: Tris wears a small backpack to carry her things. Inside it is a Bag Of Holding, which holds her bulky items. Her handmade flute is wrapped in soft bark cloth, and lovingly set in a pocket especially made for it, on the outside of her pack so she can reach it easily. She carries dried fruits, nuts, and baked goods, as well as several changes of clothing and a few jems. Amulet of Protection, silver knotwork around a blue stone, given to her by an old woman living outside The Great Forest.

Mount: Dappled blue mare name Suri ("short" for Surprise). She rides bareback, and "controls" her mount via magical communication and small movements of her legs.
