Thorn

It is said that Thorn once rarely spoke.. and occasionally, she is still prone to times of quiet - even when some have demanded speech of her. She is not a brownie, or a nixie, or a pixie. When asked, she only laughs - sometimes silently. Other times, she has been known to shrug and simply declaim “I’m a Thorn.” Those faeries that have come from the Glade don’t always remember her, but some have remembered her occasionally appearing near the Tree with a pack of trade goods, but rarely so. She knows many of the people of Nexus, and is friend to most of the Folk - with a special fierce protection of her fellow Glade-members that seem to be dismissed by non-faeries due to their ‘odd’ ways.

She is well-known in Nexus for being an excellent tracker, and many have commented on her ability to disappear in the woods. When asked, she merely shrugs and says, “Badger taught me well… but he can still follow my trails!” Not so well-known is the fact that she is also a lesser adept of the Twin-Fang style, which seems to suit her woodsman-nature surprisingly well.

In the recent battle around Tyrsia’s Great Trick that freed the Poppets, Thorn raced after the Rat King when he tried to flee from the battle, managing only to slow him briefly for a time as they traded blows. However, he still managed to escape after Thorn narrowly escaped several close calls from his blows. Thorn has since related that she followed the Rat King’s path to an unknown door, which he passed through.

Recently Thorn has taken up the mantle and title of The Huntress. This showed a marked improvement in her survival and dagger skills. Her duties have taken her from Nexus to protect the forest from other threats and great beasts. The full scope of her new abilities, duties, and responsibilities is known only to her at this time. She will be missed.
