Foxglove

Foxglove is a player character in the Dragonsverse Campaign. She is a 7th level Circle of Spores Druid, and her race is Firbolg. Her background is Outlander and her alignment is True Neutral.

## Appearance

Foxglove is well built for a firbolg, standing at 7' 4" tall, with a laborer's muscle mass. Her body is covered in fine light gray fur. She has fluffy, kinda curly hair that she likes to wear in a braid. She often decorates the braid with small flowers or feathers. She has a small beard like that of a goat.

Foxglove typically wears a form-fitting vest with loose elbow-length sleeves. She wears plain trousers - easy to clean - and a short asymmetrical skirt decorated with tassels. The skirt is white near the belt and colorfully geometric for the rest (a helpful visual is the pattern of contemporary Andean/Peruvian fabric). She wraps her arms from elbow to knuckle.

She carries an unadorned staff, scuffed and worn from use. Her belt holds a bone-handled skinning knife and a jawless panther skull.

She has a formal poncho piece that she doesn’t usually wear. It’s patterned, colors are purple, white, green and some pink to bridge the purple and green (think Andean cloth patterns again).

## Personality

Foxglove has a sarcastic, impatient attitude that causes her to be at times abrasive and insensitive towards others. She wants people to get to the point as quickly as possible and as a result doesn't care what toes she steps on to get there. She is outwardly low in empathy, but this is mostly due to the emotional recalcitrance (?) she suffers as a result of her own backstory. It makes her a bit blind to other people's problems. She's also uncomfortably blasé about violence - she doesn't enjoy it, but it is a means to an end.

When she's not badgering the people around her to get a move on, she enjoys making tea and soup for the party. She likes exploring the natural world and hearing other peoples’ perspectives on nature/druidism.

## Backstory

Foxglove lived happily as part of a firbolg clan that I currently can't remember anything about. She was raised as a hunter for the clan and married another hunter (name??), with whom she had a child named Azalea. They lived happily together until Azalea was about ten in human years. That winter, an illness swept through the clan, preying upon the young, old, and weak. Despite their best efforts, Azalea fell ill and eventually succumbed. Foxglove became reclusive and irrational, refusing to find peace in the usual firbolg way of accepting death (as part of balance and nature), insisting that Azalea's death was not meant to be. She began to secretly research the occult with the aim of performing a resurrection ritual for Azalea. However, the clan discovered her efforts as she was beginning the attempt and disrupted the ritual. Appalled at her actions, the clan elders exiled her. She has been grappling with her grief and regret since.

## PC Relationships

### *Tapeesa*

the only person with some common sense, but still very naive.  Forgives it bc she’s young. Foxglove doesn’t super get the whole very-emotional perspective nor the strong opinions about destiny. She’s gonna have to toughen up, but Foxglove hopes that’ll happen with growth, not hardship.

### *Quimmiq*

Foxglove has never met a caribou before.  She thinks they’re pretty cool.

### *Tobias*

He’s kinda shady and skittish but Foxglove doesn’t mind. She’s glad they’ve bonded over watching the shenanigans amongst the rest of the party and doing nature stuff. She appreciates his more violent attitude. She’s happy to meet another shapeshifter, even if shiftwolves and Foxglove’s firbolgs are on some shaky ground as peoples.

### *Spade*

Foxglove is happy that there’s someone else around with a 100+ year perspective on life. They never really hit it off. She doesn’t really want to reach out and talk bc that’s a huge can of worms for them both. Foxglove will cherish the memory of Spade getting into a screaming match with Lord Windemere. She hopes that he’s okay and will find some peace.
