## Description

### Appearance:

Although older, Gris’ herbal tonics and penchant for running through the woods (and often collecting strange mushrooms), has kept her fit and swift on her feet. Standing at around 2’7”, her small stature is juxtaposed by a long, braided mess of silver-red hair that reaches just above the thigh. Shorter tendrils of hair frame her face, and she can often be seen blowing them out of her face or tucking them behind her ear mindlessly when in deep thought. Her braid is tied with a thick piece of twine, and effortless (and likely unplanned) leaves and twigs decorate the length.

Her face is spotted with freckles and sun spots, a result of her younger years spent in the sun. Her sage green eyes, dotted with specks of gold, glimmer and echo the forest she knows and loves. She has a small vertical scar on her upper lip that’s the result of tripping and falling into a patch of briars, as a child she thought it made her look fierce.

Earthy tones adorn her small frame, she keeps her forearms and ankles wrapped, as is common within her village. She wears a green undershirt with a tall collar to protect her neck, a long thin leather tunic fits over the shirt and extends down to mid-thigh. Her tan pants are slightly oversized and the wrappings at her ankles help fit them to her body. Her feet, as always, are bare and a little dirty. She always carries a leather satchel, it’s filled with herbs, tonics, and lately, Rhys’ battered journal.

Her staff is otherworldly, it’s tall and spindly; wrapped in some places with leather, in others with twine. She will often affix various herbs or apply a salve or potion to bring good luck, or ward off beasts. It’s worn in places from years of use, but it’s still a sight to see.

## Biography

### Background:

Gris grew up in the humble Dreamer’s Grove– a druidic village that worships both Eldath, Goddess of Peace and Silvanus, God of Wild Nature. Their village has multiple shrines to which the inhabitants make offerings, focusing on the importance of the natural world for healing and giving life. The village itself is made up of around 800 or so inhabitants, all of whom live a druidic lifestyle in spite of having an amalgamation of races present.

Born to animal caretakers Thaddeus and Astrid Moss; Griselda was a fiery young thing. Her curiosity often led to mishaps and mayhem throughout the village as she ran barefoot to and from, mostly searching for mushrooms or other interesting plant specimens. Though a bit of a handful, Gris took quickly to most of her schooling and was a notoriously fast learner with a penchant for herbalism.

At a young age, Griselda was close friends with Rhys Littlefoot, a reserved halfling with a dream to fully understand the Circle of Dreams. He had a moppy head of curly and unkempt brown hair, dark eyes, and a natural scowl that seemed to arise when he was deep in thought. The two were inseparable, and several years later nobody was surprised when the two married.

They never had kids, and lived humbly on the edge of the village near the forest, where Gris was often seen gathering herbs (and mushrooms, of course). She was seen as a natural healer throughout the village and often provided remedies for those in need, including the occasional child who would show up with wide-eyes, scrapes and bruises after an unsupervised jaunt into the forest.
