Grandmother Thessaly Odom
Human, Herbalist and midwife
Speaks slowly, switches to an unfamiliar dialect when flustered, then catches herself.
The Last Words. She wants someone to record her dialect and stories before she dies, but only if they prove they won't sell the knowledge.
The Buried Charter. She needs the charter dug up and delivered to a magistrate she trusts, but she's too afraid of the party's motives to say where it is yet.
Appearance
Bent nearly double but quick as a bird, silver hair in a tight braid down to her waist. Smells of dried lavender and woodsmoke.
Secret
She knows the location of a buried cache of her village's founding charter, which would overturn a noble's claim to the land.
Quirks
Refuses to sit in chairs with arms
Names every plant in her garden aloud when nervous
Personality traits
Sharp-tongued
Suspicious of strangers bearing questions
Ideal
The old ways die with dignity or they don't die at all.
Bond
She is the last person alive who remembers her home village before it was burned.
Flaw
Will lie outright rather than let strangers near anything of that village's true history.
