Dryssa Eirlys

## Personality

Raised and trained to lead, Dryssa is *capable* of speaking, negotiating, and dealing with people, but if left to her own devices to consult her own desires only, she would disappear into the woods alone. She is extremely reserved, which sometimes causes people to consider her regal, and others to consider her standoffish and cold.

## Description

Dryssa is lithe of frame, with golden eyes lined in kohl, which together with her high cheekbones gives her something of a feline appearance. She is fair-skinned but tanned from long days in the sun. Her thick black hair falls in a wild cascade to her waist and is twisted back from her face in fantastical ways around a crown of fearsome Owlbear claws, which is interspersed with tiny druid crafted acorns, pine cones, small clusters of red berries, and leaves appropriate to the season.

Her armor is a warm brown leather, worked in flowing knot-work (think Celtic) and leaves. The pauldrons are shaped and detailed like leaves, and her bracers and greaves are of a similar design. Her greaves and boots are visible (also patterned in leaves) because her full and multi-layered skirt is kilted up in the front by means of straps hanging from her belt. It's left long in the back, and the various layers are all subtly blending shades of burnt orange, red, and brown, like autumnal oaks and maples in the fall, blues, greys, and whites in winter, and various shades of green and brown in the spring and summer. It is hard to tell if the leafy, mossy look is achieved through sartorial or natural means.

Her pack and various pouches all follow in the leaf motif, primarily oaks, as does her jewelry -- of which the most prominent piece is a large, amber-colored circular gem, wrapped about with golden wire in the shape of a barren oak tree.

Her cloak is a warm brown and she carries a stout oak-wood staff, the top of which looks like roots or branches twisting about themselves, and a knife with a bone hilt.

## Biography

If you ask her, she'll probably tell you stuff. But no one has really asked.

The party has picked up that she is somehow connected to the Oakheart, and that her homeland "the Oaks" has been destroyed from various conversations with NPCs.
