Zosia Jędza

Zosia is a highly curious witch from Chernogorovka with strong magical ties to the Feywilds.

## Description

### Appearance

Zosia is a nonbinary tiefling of 5'11" (horn height included) with deep brown skin and horns shaped like antlers or branches which sweep slightly back and to the side. They have a heart or circle-shaped face with large, yellow, fey-like eyes with no pupils or irises, and freckles peppered across their nose and cheeks. Her ears are long, pointed, and tend to rest in a downward position unless particularly excited. Zosia's hair is green and usually worn down in thick, messy waves with braids scattered throughout. Their tail is long and thin with green hair fanning off of the end.

Zosia most typically wears a white, linen shirt with puffy sleeves cinched around the wrist with a small cuff and a black vest. Each is decorated with slavic-inspired floral designs. When dressing up, Zosia may also wears a skirt with green stripes which reaches her ankles or black pants with more floral decorations, and black boots. Their shirt and vest are always tucked in and secured with a dark green fabric belt. The outfits draw inspiration from the traditional outfits of Łowicz in central Poland and other regions.

### Personality

Zosia comes across as a very bubbly person upon first interaction. They often speak in an upbeat tone and are quick to ask others questions due to their curious nature. Zosia seems to have a great deal of energy to spend and is constantly fidgeting or looking through things. She is quick to make friends with others, and becomes fiercely loyal to the other Lightbringers shortly after joining the group.

They may be upbeat, but Zosia can also become overbearing in her curiosity, sometimes asking questions which might seem inappropriate to others. There are multiple times when Zosia pushes or misinterprets boundaries, especially with strangers. Sometimes, they do not seem to pick up on how others are feel and can become frustrated or impatient when unable to get information. And yet, there are moments in which Zosia shows exceptional patience and kindness towards her party members, frequently offering to listen if ever needed without pushing for answers.

While Zosia enjoys listen to and speaking with others, she prefers to learn about others than talk about herself. Zosia is in a stage of self discovery during the Lightbringers campaign where she does not feel she knows who she truly is. Occasionally, Zosia becomes cagey when conversation turns to her own life. Zosia has also outright refused to or been cautious of providing their name to others as she seems to believe there is a somewhat innate power in having the name of another. This is potentially due to her close connection to the Feywilds.

Zosia is additionally quite in-tune with the natural world and enjoys spending time outdoors. They have spent large periods of time within uninhabited lands, and appear to have an innate respect for nature. In battle, Zosia appears both somewhat feral and whimsical. Often, Zosia teleports about the site of a fight, summoning small fey creatures to aid her, and frequently uses claws and teeth to attack others along with spells which drain the life from others. When her fellow party members are looking hurt, however, Zosia is quick to pause their frenzy to heal others.

## Biography

### Background

Zosia grew up in a small farming town in south-western Chernogorovka.

### Tales of the Lightbringers

Zosia meets the Lightbringers, besides Ira, at The Green Maple tavern in Storfjord, Svea during their celebration directly following their fight at the site of the Dark's ritual. Everyone swiftly becomes friendly with one another, and after hearing the deeds of the day proclaims the group The Lightbringers for their restoration of light from the darkness that has been plaguing the sky. After learning that Zosia does not have a place to stay as of yet, Thenarys invites Zosia to stay with the group in the castle. After travelling back to the castle, some of the others become drunk and tell Zosia about themselves and what is occurring. Shortly afterwards, Zosia meets Ira as they will be sharing a room together and Ira finds himself answering her litany of curious questions.

## Relationships

### Róza

Róza is a mentor and friend to the younger witch. While initially wary of Zosia's presence due to the fear of retaliation from other witches, Róza grew to appreciate their presence. After Tales of the Lightbringers, Zosia came to stay in The Garden with Róza in order to learn more about other witches and her innate connection to the Feywild. He also tutored Zosia in reading. In return, Zosia aided Róza in a wide variety of tasks around his home and within the Feywilds as a whole. The two grew quite friendly with one another and have been known to live with each other between Zosia's periods of roaming.

### Fandral

Zosia met Fandral when she curtailed his watchful behavior during quiet discussion of the Svean Revolution at the Green Maple. She came to question him in a handful of encounters. Though Fandral often became discomposed, he offered little information. Zosia grew bored and in her final round of questioning, Ira and his friends intervened to remove Zosia from his company by embarrassing Fandral through singing a rude song and dumping grease on him. In the assassination of Syf, Zosia struck the killing blow to Fandral. After the fight, Zosia made comment in terror and awe about how easy it is to kill another person, seemingly indicating Fandral's death by her hands.
