Appearance
Calen Valthorn is a lean, weathered human with the wiry strength of someone who has spent decades hauling sacks, pruning trees, and sleeping outdoors. His skin is sun-browned and marked by pale lines that resemble tiny branching roots. His movements are careful and economical, yet when startled he becomes startlingly fast, darting sideways like a fox. He leaves the impression of a tired country merchant until one notices that moths settle on his shoulders without fear and that the shadows beneath his shelves seem to lean toward him. The unexpected contradiction is his immaculate hands: despite his work with soil, sap, and compost, his fingernails are always clean and polished.
“Calen speaks in a low, dry voice with a rural cadence. He uses precise descriptions for plants and people alike, rarely swears, and becomes more formal when frightened.”

Distinguishing Features
Pale rootlike scars across his left cheek and throat.
A silver leaf earring that becomes warm when fey magic is nearby.
A missing tip of his right index finger, replaced by a polished thorn of petrified wood.
Moths gather around him but never land on his face.
His reflection sometimes appears several seconds behind his movements.
Voice
“A dry baritone softened by years of speaking to frightened patients and stubborn plants. When invoking druidic magic, his voice gains a second undertone like leaves scraping across stone.”
Clothing
A moss-green wool coat patched with dark leather, a brown linen shirt, charcoal trousers, and soft boots reinforced with bark fiber. He wears a belt of labeled herb pouches, a copper key ring, and a single silver earring shaped like a falling leaf.
Body Language
Calen leans toward plants and away from people. He counts coins with his thumb while studying a customer's reflection in a glass jar. When angry, he becomes perfectly still, and thin green veins appear along his wrists. When genuinely amused, he hides his smile behind a folded cloth.
