Appearance
Clove is a lean, weathered human woman with warm brown skin, sharp green eyes, and dark auburn hair usually braided with sprigs of dried clove blossoms. A thin scar crosses her left eyebrow, and ink stains mark the fingers of her right hand. She wears practical scale mail beneath a moss-green cloak, with a longbow strapped across her back and two worn shortswords at her hips.
Mannerisms
Clove pauses before answering difficult questions, as if checking an invisible index. She annotates maps while speaking, taps the fletching of an arrow against her palm when impatient, and smells unfamiliar herbs before deciding whether they are safe.
Personality
Clove is patient, observant, and quietly protective. She prefers careful preparation to bravado, but once she identifies a threat, her focus becomes relentless. She enjoys explaining obscure natural facts to anyone willing to listen and has a dry sense of humor that appears most often during dangerous situations.
Ideals
Knowledge is a shield. Truth must be preserved and shared, especially when those in power would bury it to protect themselves.
Bonds
The forest settlement that raised Clove is still threatened by the ruin beneath it. She will risk everything to protect its people and uncover the truth of the ancient seal.
Flaws
Clove cannot leave a mystery alone, even when pursuing it puts companions in danger. She is suspicious of charming strangers, dismissive of superstition unless she has personally investigated it, and becomes coldly inflexible when someone destroys knowledge for profit.
Quirks
Background
Clove was born in a quiet human settlement built beside an ancient forest, where her mother cultivated medicinal herbs and her father copied maps for traveling scholars. As a child, Clove became fascinated by the gaps in those maps, especially the blank spaces marked with warnings rather than names. She apprenticed herself to an elderly natural philosopher who taught her to read forgotten scripts, identify plants by scent, and distinguish the tracks of a hungry wolf from those of a frightened one. Her education was interrupted when a logging expedition uncovered a sealed ruin and unleashed creatures that drove several villages from the forest edge. Determined to understand what had happened, Clove joined the local wardens and became a ranger. She charted the corrupted paths, hunted the creatures responsible, and recovered fragments of the ruin's history. Her work eventually led her to the conclusion that the disaster was not an accident, but the first step in a deliberate attempt to awaken something beneath the forest. Clove now travels as both protector and investigator, gathering evidence, defending innocent communities, and preserving knowledge that powerful people might rather see destroyed.
