Sees-From-Laurel

Sees-From-Laurel is an elf who inhabits the underground tunnels and caverns beneath the Ozark Mountains. He belongs to a group of elves who are magically trapped within the mountain by oaths and wards. Sees-From-Laurel has a unique ability to communicate with beings outside of the mountain by manifesting himself in laurel plants. When he appears in a laurel bush, his body seems to merge with the plant itself.
== Biography ==
When Alexandra Quick was lost in the tunnels after being captured by hill dwarves, Sees-From-Laurel offered to lead her out if she killed the dangerous jimplicute monster that had been plaguing the elves. However, he did not actually expect Alexandra to survive the encounter with the jimplicute. The jimplicute was described as very cunning, large, fast, and possessing enough teeth to bite a human in half. Ultimately, Alexandra managed to escape the jimplicute using her Seven-League Boots rather than killing it as Sees-From-Laurel had asked.
After her escape, Sees-From-Laurel was angry and disappointed that Alexandra had not slain the jimplicute. He admitted that he had not really believed she could succeed in killing it. This revealed that Sees-From-Laurel had essentially manipulated Alexandra and sent her into a lethal situation, expecting her to die even though she was just meant to be helping him.
Later, Sees-From-Laurel asked Alexandra to capture a Thren bird and bring it to lure an underwater panther, in order to lead the elves out of the mountain. Sees-From-Laurel indicates that he and the other elves are bound by oaths and cannot easily leave their realm, though he knows the way to the World Away. Alexandra managed to bind the Thren using an Incarcerous Spell and placed it in a cage. Throughout this process, she was careful to ensure that the Thren was not harmed.
== Personality and Traits ==
Sees-From-Laurel speaks in a formal, slightly archaic manner. He refers to Alexandra as "Troublesome" in an affectionate but exasperated way, as she does not always follow his guidance as he intends. He is bound by duty and oaths to his realm, though he tries to find loopholes to offer Alexandra greater aid. He appears to have some magical abilities, including limited invisibility and manifestation through plants.
