**Twig** is a brownie NPC in Once Upon a Witchlight. She is played by Nikkie.

## About Twig

#### Appearance

Though there are two different descriptions of her outfit between her introductory episode (OUAW Ep 19 - Bump In The Night) and the subsequent episode (OUAW Ep 20 - Hot Jones), her physical attributes are the same.

Twig is about two and a half feet tall, reddish-brown curly hair with blonde streaks throughout, and huge thick-lensed glasses that make her large green eyes look much bigger than her head. She has tiny faery wings on her back, wears a white-spotted red toadstool bonnet and an apron.

#### Personality

Twig is a sweet, good-natured, caring fey creature. Her eye for cozy interior decorating, organization, culinary skills and adherance to the Fey Rules make her extremely well-suited to being an innkeeper in the Fey Wild. As an innkeeper, she crosses paths with interesting inhabitants, allowing her to obtain intimate knowledge of obscure things, such as the Witchlight feeding into the mechanized contraption on Torbek's back or the claiming of stolen Fey belongings. Twig also possesses a great deal of common sense and insight, demonstrated when The Party is met with a problem.

However, her unintended - albeit adorable - chaotic antics create a level of difficulty for The Party, such as licking toads for fun, proficiently hiding dead bodies in the swamps, and drinking mysterious liquids seeping from cave toadstools. She also displays her cunning and quick wit, demonstrated by tricking Gideon into "upsies" and mauling him when the Wild Fey magic warped her mind, believing she was transforming into a feral were-Twig.

## Background

Twig is the brownie innkeeper of The Inn At The End Of The Road, located in Hither. As innkeeper, she abides by the Fey Rules originally established by Zybilna and accepts payment by way of Fey charms. Twig keeps these knicknacks and trinkets proudly displayed on several shelves in the main room of the Inn. Being an inkeeper has become a lonely occupation, however, since The Hourglass Coven took over Prismire and rarely receives visitors because of it. In her spare time, Twig cleans, organizes and knits while she waits for patrons.

After The Party settles payment with Twig, she happily makes them Beef Stew in bread bowls and serves them drinks such as Pixie Berry tea, Bean Milk and The Displacer's Draught. They are immediately beset upon by a heavily, Witchlight-mutated Torbek, who proceeds to wreck the Inn in the ensuing battle. The Inn is quickly put to rights with the help of Pigtunia - Twig's winged pig familiar - and mini Pigtunias magically sprouted from a bouquet of Petunias by Twig.

Due to Twig's good natured spirit, The Party and a coherent Torbek are allowed to stay the night, where they all awake after having the same dream. As they try to decipher the meaning, Gricko is overcome by the wild Fey magic that randomly afflicts them and completely destroys the Inn. Overcome by the destruction of her home and the decades of work to maintain it, Twig strikes a Fey bargain with The Party: to repay her back for the destruction of the Inn, they are required to allow her to join their adventure.

With her eyes set on a new chapter of her life, Twig sets out with The Party to become an adventurer.

## Abilities

Mechanically, Twig is a warlock class utilizing spell slots and Call Familiar (Pigtunia). She is able to cast Hex (OUAW Ep 19) and Eldritch Blast (OUAW Ep 19 & Ep 22). Her Familiar, Pigtunia, is able to use Face Snout to breathe in and sneeze, dealing piercing damage to her enemy and also Fey Touch which will render an enemy unconscious on a failed Constitution saving throw (OUAW Ep 19).

Twig is also able to project her voice from Pigtunia, demonstrated when Kremy's contracts needed to be delivered to Sir Talivar and Jingle Jangle. Twig's healing abilities does not extend past basic first-aid, however, she possess some herbalist skills like most natives of the Fey Wild.

Twig is also able to shrink The Inn At The End Of The Road into an acorn sachel that she wears while adventuring with The Party. As such, everything in The Inn at the time will also shrink, including humanoids like Torbek and monstrosities like Hootsie. Beings in The Inn can function as normal, however, they may not always come out as their normal size if The Inn is in its acorn sachel state.

## Trivia

* During an Avantris and Chill session, Nikkie compared Twig to Sylvie, one of her player characters from Prime describing Twig as, "just as chaotic... but nicer."
