Kendell Evertree

## Background

Kendell and his sister come from the Evertree Grove nestled in the mountains south of Val-Zara. Kendell and his sister Salix were born to the elders of the grove/ Although Kendell and Salix are very different, they are inseparable.

## Personality

Kendell is very kind-hearted and thoughtful. He struggles with self- assurance but he makes jokes and makes a conscious effort to seem dumber than he really is. He focuses on other peoples well being in order to help him forget about his own short comings. He is loyal, trusting and is beginning to learn from his mistakes.

## Early Life

Kendell is the only elf within the grove to not become a druid. Most believe because he is inept at druid-craft and as such became the outcast of the grove. Although popular, charming and kind, most druids couldn't help but feel disappointing that the eldest son of the most prominent Elder, was not to become a druid himself. Many expected him to become an arch-druid even more powerful than his mother and father put together. Unfortunately, Kendell was never adept at druid craft. He was always more interested in exploring. He and his sister would spend every moment they could together. Kendell was always aware that Salix was more suited to fit the role the grove expected him too. He never resented his sister for it, he always encouraged her instead.

## Lenda

The druids of the grove always had one goal: to become an elder and protect the grove. In order to become a druid, the grove has a week long ceremony in order to bond with an Elder tree. Tradition also allows each potential Druid to experience the world before bonding. Every elf in history has always returned from their Lenda to bond and eventually become an Arch Druid. Kendell never intended to become a druid and does not intend to return to the grove, at least not forever. Salix followed her brother in an attempt to spend as much possible time with Kendell and to become stronger in order to best protect her Willow tree.

## Relationships

#### Salix Evertree

Kendell's younger sister by 1 year. Due to the long life span of elves, these two are commonly referred to as twins. Salix is an adept Druid and accomplished monk of Kord. Kendell admires his sister more than anyone. He feels guilty that she had bonded her tree and left the grove just to be with him. He tried to leave without telling her and she not only found him but insisted on being by his side until she could not anymore. He knows she will leave one day to protect the grove and he will do anything to make sure she makes it back safe.

#### Kylanthia Byro

If Kendell were to think of anyone romantically from the grove, it would always be Kylantha. She was his first kiss. She was also an adept druid and destined to be one of the great Elders. He always got along with her and enjoyed spending time with her. He never let himself get close because he knew one day he would leave the druid and not return. He could never ask one of the grove's elves to leave with him. The thought always made him feel guilty. Salix agreed.

#### Sura

Sura is a human oracle from a long lost line of the royal family Macierres. Kendell first met Sura in Illverness, where she read Dev and Salix's tarot. Kendell declined, he was not interested in what the future held, he was going to find out for himself. Later that night he had his recurring nightmare that prompted him to seek her out. She read his tarot confirming his fears and instilling more. After he left, Sura asked him to return. He did and they shared an intimate night. The next day, the group found that she was kidnapped and no one was going to do anything about it. Kendell went after her, not only because it was the right thing to do but because he felt somehow responsible. The two parted ways and have not seen each other since.

### Devereax Thistlebrook

Devereux is one of the first people Kendell ever met. When Salix was captured by a novice necromancer, he found Devereux looking for their companion as well. From their first meeting they got along. Kendell admires how Dev is so comfortable with themselves and how self assured they seem. Kendell admires Dev for the way they seemingly do what they want without guilt and wishes he could be more like them. Kendell is eager to get to know Dev more and spend time exploring with them but is afraid to push as to not push them away. Dev seems to genuinely enjoy Kendell's company and Kendell enjoys being enjoyed by someone other than his sister. Its a feeling he wasn't used to.

### Kyrie Amaranth

Out of everyone in the group, Kyrie is the one Kendell doesn't understand and yet, the person he wants to get to know the most. They come from a different plane and have experienced so many things they all seem so interesting. Although Kendell's faith in Kyrie has dropped due conflict that has arisen, he does trust that they would not hurt him or his sister. He doesn't want to lose any of his friends and will do what he can to keep them around and keep them safe.
