## Description

### Appearance

Yandaichi is a human with olive toned skin and dark black hair. Part of her hair seems to be longer than others as it is extremely messy and is hardly even fixed or brushed in any set form or style. Twigs, leaves, and vines completely litter her hair as well as the rest of her body, especially her torso where a vine wraps itself around her.

### Personality

Yandaichi's talents and demeanor give off a very professional vibe when it comes to her magic. She is not particularly studious nor strict about magical methods, she is just extremely experienced in her art. She never beats around the bush and gets straight to the point in situations the group faces. Along with this, Yandaichi is a very caring person which was evident when she extended hospitality to the party members when they first visited her in the swamp.

## Biography

### Witch of Legend

Yandaichi is one of the four Witches of the Wylds and is considered a legendary figure in the Wyld Lands. She was once a member of a Witches Guild which consisted of her and the other three Witches of the Wylds. During the first Attack on Thimea, she transported all the witches to the center of town and fought off the numerous dretches and nothics that were attacking the city.

The town was saved and the group proceeded to travel throughout the Wyld Lands, saving towns and searching for the source of these monstrosities. They finally found it, as it turned out to be a portal made of great flame. Yandaichi described the presence of the portal stemming from something of pure hatred. The witches managed to seal the portal with their combined magical power and the Wyld Lands were briefly saved from this threat.

2 years later though, all four witches decided to go their own separate ways. Yandaichi herself never knew where exactly they went.

### The Second Attack on Thimea

Kicking off the events of the Witches of the Wylds campaign, Thimea was under siege yet again by the same creatures that attacked before. Yandaichi was first met by Grukk, Inanna, and Azure, during a fight in the graveyard adjacent to the Cathedral of the Rejected. She helped them defeat the nothics they were engaged with and explained to them that they needed to meet her at her hut in the nearby swamps so she could explain everything. Just as she appeared, her form was surrounded by loose leaves and blades of grass as she disappeared into the sky.

### Searching for the Sorcerer

Once the party, now joined by Zen, met Yandaichi in her hut she explained what happened before. She told them of the portal she and the other witches sealed, how all the witches went their separate ways, and so on. Her first lead was to find a young sorcerer who had been in regular contact with the Fire Witch, Ophelia Ayer. This sorcerer proved to be a gnome girl named Salnapip. She had indeed known the Ayer family quite well, but had not seen them in a long time.

As they gathered this information though, the party was attacked by hell hounds and followers of Asmodir. Yandaichi helped protect the heroes and sent them on their way to find Ophelia while she and an old friend of hers named Roxanne Tris went to go help the other settlements that might be ravaged by attacks.

## Relationships

### Roxanne

While the two have not yet been seen together, Yandaichi calls Roxanne Tris "an old friend." The extent of their history and connection has not yet been revealed.

## Character Information and Inventory

### Motivations

Yandaichi is extremely devoted to protecting the innocents of the Wyld Lands and is just as devoted to looking out for the party members and helping them as they try to reunite her with the other three witches.
