Thistle is a towering, 7 foot 4 inch Firbolg with soft, lavender-tinged blue skin. Their thick hair is the color of old forest moss and is braided with living ivy. They have wide, bovine-like ears that twitch with every sound. Their eyes are a gentle amber, and they often wear a crown of woven wildflowers.

Thistle is a being of profound stillness and quiet joy. They believe that every creature, from the smallest beetle to the largest dragon, has a story that deserves a patient listener. They rarely raise their voice and prefer to resolve conflict with a warm smile or a handful of berries.

Thistle was born in the Whispering Veil, a section of the Feywild that bleeds into the Material Plane. Raised by a circle of druids and benevolent fey, they learned that nature is not a resource to be managed but a family to be cared for. While most firbolgs remain hidden, Thistle felt a calling to step into the wider world to act as a bridge between civilization and the wild places. Their training as a Ranger was not meant for war, but for stewardship. They navigate the most treacherous terrains not to conquer them, but to ensure travelers pass through without disturbing the delicate balance. They treat every encounter as a formal introduction, whether it is with a local merchant or a grumpy owlbear.
