Arunika is a tall dragonborn with shimmering bronze scales that have a slight green patina around her joints, similar to aged metal. She wears layered teal and grey robes that flow like water, and her horns are decorated with silver rings inscribed with tiny runes. She smells faintly of ozone and sea salt.

Arunika is intensely curious and treats every natural phenomenon as a puzzle to be solved. She is often distracted by the patterns of birds or the way the tide recedes. She speaks with a measured, scholarly tone but can become unexpectedly wild and feral when the winds pick up or a storm begins to brew.

Arunika was born to a long line of Draconic archivists within a great coastal library. While her kin were content to record the deeds of heroes, Arunika was fascinated by the cycles of the coast. She spent years cataloging how the ocean tide slowly eroded the stone foundations of history, eventually realizing that nature was the ultimate record keeper. This realization drove her out of the library and into the salt marshes, where she began to learn the primal language of the world. Her scholarly background gave her a unique edge, as she applies rigorous academic logic to her druidic rituals. She considers herself a seeker of the Deep Truth, a chronicle that is written in the movement of the waves and the flash of lightning. She has traveled far from her home to witness the intersection of magic and geography, often clashing with those who seek to pave over the natural order for the sake of temporary progress.
