Amynta Ironroot

*"Let me make this clear. I don't like you yet. Maybe I won't ever. We're here to do a job, and if you survive the next five encounters, I might remember your name."*

- Amynta Ironroot

## Amynta Ironroot

### Relatives

Nytherian Ironroot (Father)Wanas Darkflower (Mother)

## Description

Amynta is a thin figure, often clad in green or different bits of plant life. Her build is more on the frail side compared to her fellow night elves, as her role is often very indirect. While in treant form, her size and physique changes drastically, to that of a bulky bark-skinned monstrosity almost twice her size with the physical strength to boot.

## Personality

Amynta was once upbeat and hopeful upon coming to the open world, seeking to restore nature's balance and aid the world in its ever-growing plights by applying her great healing potential. Since joining several dozen adventurer groups, entering into many a dungeon, cave and various hostile strongholds, she has since become disillusioned. Her immediate opinion of adventurers is that they are reckless, greedy, self-absorbed and rarely show appreciation for her work in keeping them alive. As such, her usual behaviour is tired, jaded, monotone and socially hostile. Despite this, she's inevitably forced to give into her healer's instinct, and rarely leaves a party member untended, even at the expense of her own health. She will however, slowly begin to warm up to people who demonstrate tact, tactics and proper teamwork.

## Background

### Childhood

Amynta was born of two druids of the Dreamweavers. As her mother was a rare female case of druidism, she was raised among the secluded druidic society where she took to her parent's choice of practice, being healing. Soon after, she became a Druid of the Branch, using her knowledge to keep the local flora and fauna healthy as she learned to traverse the winding forests of Val'sharah.

### To New Ventures

Her parents received a grave message through the Emerald Dream that tragedy was widespread around the world, and rather than inducting Amynta into their ranks completely, she was kept out in the event of void corruption claiming her. Instead, she was sent out to see the world, as the night elves were reintroduced to Azeroth. She set sail and made for her people's homeland, where she set up in Moonglade and then to meet the various races of the world as an adventurer.

### Ballad of a Jaded Healer

Alas, like any hopeful soul, that hope is usually crushed steadily over time. Amynta is no such exception, as several years of dungeoneering led to her being grouped with reckless, loot-hungry adventurers as she was seeking to cleanse areas of corruption, or remove enemies of nature. After the fall of the Lich King, she felt like she could take a break at last, and rooted down in Moonglade once more...until she felt the earth shudder in distress. In pure anguish, she forced her roots from the soil from months of relief and drudged back into the world to help save a world she loves to hate.

### Druid on Loan

The location Amynta was to visit was that of the Western Plaguelands, where Hearthglen newly rebuilt, with the intent on purging the shade known as Dreadwhisper. There, she came into contact with a gnomish paladin called Moxirazzi Brightspark. After aiding with an investigation into Cult of the Damned infiltrators in Hearthglen, she decided to remain with the Argent Dawn on loan to assist with the corruption in the area.

## Abilities

**Restoration Druid:**

Amynta is a proficient druid when it comes to the arts of healing and nature manipulation. Her fighting style revolves around reliance on others, but can use various plants, roots and local flora to assail her targets.

**Tree of Life Form:**

As a Druid of the Branch, Amynta has the capability to turn into a Tree of Life, a being of around ten feet with a much wider body made of tree bark. While in this form, they become more in-tune with nature and possess more physical strength and durability due to their wooden form, however their general dexterity suffers, turning them into an easy target. Due to their severe increase in weight, Amynta can not utilise regular mounts while in the Tree of Life Form, and carries an increased burden to her movement.

**Alchemy (Journeyman)**

**Inscription (Journeyman)**

**First Aid (Journeyman)**

**Herbalism (Journeyman)**

## Home

Her familial home is in Val'sharah, but she is presently on the road.

## Relationships (PCs)

**Friendly**

**Moxirazzi Brightspark**

Amynta has a surprisingly positive relationship with the gnomish paladin, seeing her as a rare example of competency in the field. This causes Amynta to gravitate towards the figure by remaining with the Argent Dawn.

**Neutral**

**Unfriendly**

**Syth**

Amynta views Syth's distanced disposition and fear of women to be a severe annoyance. As a healer who is duty-bound to saving lives at any cost, she sees his personality as detrimental and self-destructive.

**Hostile**

## Quotes

"Anyone who dares to call them self a healer doesn't just abandon their own because it's inconvenient."
