**Morryn** is a player character in MagiRPG, played by Miss Magitek. She is a hexblood druid, circle of spores. Currently, she travels with her friends Nissa, Court, Spring, and Dante.

## Description

### Appearance

Morryn has long, black hair that fades into the color green. She has golden eyes and skin that is slightly green to tint. In certain light it appears more greenish yellow. She has two horns that pertrude from her head, they are not part of a headpiece, but are in fact part of her. Small vines and spores are tangled around her horns. Her makeup is dark around her eyes with long purple marks.

She wears a leafy mantle to cover her shoulders, a long purple/black dress, and no shoes. Sometimes a black ichor can be seen coming from her hands. Mushrooms and fungus surround her when she walks. She carries small bits and bobs on her person - from herbs, to fur, to skulls.

### Personality

   Exuberent and abrasive, Morryn finds most of her enjoyment in making snarky remarks at the undoing of others. She is utterly serene, even in the face of disaster.

Her seclusion from others for so long brought her to often get lost in her own thoughts and contemplation, becoming oblivious to her surroundings.

She is often quite curious of the nature around her, especially in the Feywild, especially when it befalls unique and grotesque oddities.

She also harbors dark, bloodthirsty thoughts that her isolation and meditation failed to quell.

## Biography

### Early Life

Morryn was born to human parents, Malena and Owyn, who were hunters and trappers and traveled often. Her brother, Myka, born a few years after her. Morryn and her brother were very close throughout their childhood - they spent most of their time in nature, playing with animals and plants. The two had even built a small hut made of wood and mud. The hut was where they would stay when their parents would fight, which was very often. One day, their parents decided to split and left the two to be raised by their Grandmother, Bevyn, in Red Larch.

It was in Red Larch where Morryn and Myka met the rest of the Croaker children - Nissa, Courtney, and Dove. The five of them became very close and spent all of their time together. They eventually formed a rivalrly with another group of children in Red Larch, which they name the Toadies.

   Even as a child, Morryn seemed to be more wise and well-spoken than the other Croakers. She had a keen perception for her surroundings and her friends. Morryn became particularly close with Nissa, and the two developed a quick best friend relationship.

Her keen senses also picked up a growing crush between her brother, Myka, and her best friend, Nissa. At first, Morryn did not approve, and tried her best to keep the two apart. But after some time, she became more accepting of the two's budding love. During their time at the mysterious Witchlight Carnival, Morryn finally admitted to Nissa that she approved of her best friend's crush on her brother.

After the traumatic events of the Witchlight Carnival in her childhood and the loss of her brother, Morryn developed a strange magical affliction and secluded herself from society.

She decided to live in the woods outside of Red Larch, one of the few places that reminded her of the time she spent in mud huts with her brother as a child. In the woods, she met Madryck Roslof, an old man and warlock who invited her to live in his pumpkin patch. Madryck taught Morryn how to use magic and gave her more insight on the fey and the evil of hags.

Morryn's power grew increasingly stronger in a short period of time - she was able to hear things she could never hear before, taste things she wasn't able to. Her fingers were able to conjure small bits of magic. Plants would respond to her touch.

Morryn had no idea why she gained these powers, her only conclusion that this was some sort of moral justice from the gods upon the suffering of losing her brother.

### Background: Hermit

The quiet seclusion of Morryn's extended hermitage gave her deep insight to hags, and one hag in particular.

### Hexblood Magic

Morryn is unsure where the connection to her magic dawned from, but she understands she is connected to hag ancestry somehow. Despite this, she despises all hags and wants to see them suffer for the pain they caused her and her friends.

## Relationships

### Nissa Heartspring

Nissa is Morryn's best friend and closest confidant. Despite the eight years of difference, Morryn still feels close to Nissa and confides in her often. Morryn finds Nissa to be the most level-headed and competent of the party, and looks to her as a leader. As a child, Morryn did not always approve of Nissa’s crush on her brother, but as time went on - and especially after the loss of her brother - she wants nothing more than the two of them to be reunited again. Morryn also finds herself feeling extra protective toward Nissa and doesn’t want to see her get hurt again, as she understands the hurt Nissa must feel losing Myka more than anyone else.

### Courtney

In childhood, Morryn had always felt Courtney needed the most protection. She still feels this way in their adulthood. Morryn is extremely fascinated- and fearful- of the monster that lives within Court. As Mor is the most studied in magic, particularly dark magic, she wants to do what she can to learn more about Court’s untapped power.  Morryn notices Court’s slow dark descent since entering the Feywild, and despite them being inconsolable in the present time, Mor still wants to protect them and stand by their side.

### Dove

Morryn always admired Dove's free-spirited nature, something Morryn related to in her own way. Both Dove and Morryn had their precious memories taken from them, and Mor will never forget Dove’s willingness to step in and get a job done - at whatever cost. Mor has always viewed the world in a dark light, knowing tough choices in life have a high cost. She can see that Dove is one of the few friends she has that understands her values in that way, being that Dove also volunteered herself to be Bavlorna’s prisoner.

### Spring Morningsky

Throughout the group’s travels thus far in the Feywild, Morryn has been the most suspicious of Spring - more than the other party members who quickly warmed up to them. As time has gone on, Mor has seen Spring prove themselves a noble knight, but Mor does not always agree with their “noble” values. Because of their differences in how to get jobs done, Mor and Spring have yet to see eye-to-eye on many things, and has caused much strife between the two. Despite this, Morryn remembers that her mentor told her that Zibylna is the key to finding Myka, so Mor is willing to help Spring save their queen.

### Dante

Upon Dante’s introduction to the group, Morryn was the first to figure out the history Dante has had with the Croakers as children. Remembering that Dante was the child who bullied her brother, Myka, Morryn immediately became cold toward Dante, and even found her own ways to bully him back all these years later. Morryn is particularly watchful of how Dante interacts with Nissa - as she does not want Nissa getting too close to Dante. She remains hesitant and cautious toward Dante, and feels his outlook on the Fey thus far aligns similarly with her outlook. She also remains strangely intrigued by him (& thankful that he helped save her campestri companion, Butterscotch) and how he has changed over these eight years, though she would never admit this.

## Equipment and Gear

Morryn carries a long, wooden staff. Pieces of the staff were made from the small wooden stick that she would carry with her as a child. Morryn can imbue the staff with power and use it as a formidable weapon.

She was given a cloak of protection by Nissa, who had it made from Nib.

Morryn also carries a Campestri mushroom named Butterscotch.
