Snit is a wiry male kobold with rust-red scales, a cream-colored throat, bright amber eyes, and a chipped left horn. He wears weather-stained leather armor beneath a moss-green cloak stitched with scraps of parchment. A bundle of quills hangs from his belt beside an herbalism kit, a small wooden shield, and a crooked sickle carved with draconic symbols. His claws are frequently stained with ink, berry juice, or both.

Snit is enthusiastic, irreverent, and relentlessly observant. He speaks with the confidence of a tenured scholar despite having been expelled from several libraries for unauthorized experiments. He enjoys intelligent conversation, dramatic entrances, strong perfume, and people who are honest about what they want. He is bisexual and openly fond of brothels, which he regards as fascinating social ecosystems full of secrets, kindness, and remarkably well-informed staff.

Snit was hatched beneath the roots of an ancient ash tree, in a kobold warren that survived by avoiding notice rather than demanding it. While other young kobolds learned tunnel fighting and trapmaking, Snit became fascinated by the faint green glow that pulsed through the ash tree's roots. An elderly hermit druid discovered him copying patterns from the bark into scraps of stolen parchment and took him on as an assistant. Snit learned that the forest was not merely a place to hide, but a living library whose leaves, insects, stones, and seasons all carried meaning. His scholarly ambitions eventually carried him far beyond the warren. Snit traveled between monasteries, hedge-wizards, apothecaries, and questionable urban establishments, trading research, gossip, and companionship for access to rare texts. He is fascinated by the ways civilization tries to separate itself from nature, especially in cities where desire, commerce, disease, and celebration all flourish under the same roof. Snit has no patience for cruelty disguised as tradition, and he gladly meddles in the affairs of anyone exploiting the helpless. He now journeys as a druid and researcher, determined to assemble the first comprehensive field guide to urban ecosystems, including sewers, gardens, taverns, and brothels.
