Desiderium

Desiderium is a tiefling druid and palm reader. This character is portrayed by Rachel.
==Physical Appearance==
Desiderium is a purple tiefling with antlers and long braided boysenberry-colored hair. She wears large lilac glasses which she uses in her palm readings, and carries a staff that is strung with amethyst and jade. She is of a larger build, approximately 5 feet 11 inches tall. Her green and orange clothing is very layered and stitched together with vines. On her left antler is a tangle of yarn in which a small jackalope named Mr. Berry resides. She keeps pots of pothos, daisies, and roses with her which she uses in her readings. Ballad of the Nightmare Krew. Verse 4, Episode 17. Fortune's Great Charms.
== Background ==
Desiderium’s first memory is being found in the woods. A tiefling orphan couldn’t be luckier than to be taken in by two gnomes who didn’t care how much she grew or when her horns came in. Since she was always looking out the window, across the sea, or up at the sky, they named her Desiderium. She called them Mama and Papa Friede, and they lived together under a tree in Krim, a quiet gnome logging village off the coast of Redan. Papa Friede taught her how to read nature, how to make everything they need from it and respect it. Mama Friede taught her how to read people, and study palms and mannerisms to learn more about them (or at least make a convincing guess).
As Desiderium started physically outgrowing their home (like that guy in that famous play Elf) she started to worry about her place in the world. As she grew taller than her adoptive parents, and drew more attention in the village, she became self-conscious of how she interacted with others and her appearance. Papa Friede assured her that this would always be her home, but said it was good for all young people ‘to take a journey to find themselves and understand their place in the world.’ So that is what she did. Using her skills from Mama Friede to make coin as she travelled, and never bored thanks to the companionship of Mr. Berry, Desiderium started traveling and just kept going. Any ship taking off that would take her, she hopped on. Any person offering their palm, she would read it.Directly taken from Rachel's notes on Desiderium's background and adventures
== Wildspace Adventures and Future Plans ==
Most recently, Desiderium was doing contract work at a spa in Bral, having depleted all of her gold getting there. After some chaotic readings for an enthusiastic Nightmare Krew, Kallias told Desiderium that doing this, telling people their fortunes and stories, was her place in the world. Though she doesn’t know where she’s going next, she feels more confident in her abilities. Desi will probably head back to Cordia soon to update Mama and Papa on her adventures. And thanks to the Sending Stone bracelet she gave Fim Fam, she can always find the Nightmare Krew if she needs to.
