At the table

Voice

Low and airy for her size, warm rather than musical. When she is angry, her words become unusually crisp and practical; when embarrassed, she speaks to the nearest plant instead of the person.

Gentle and rounded, with careful enunciation and an occasional lilting cadence. She speaks softly unless danger demands otherwise, and tends to describe places by what grows or smells there.

Speech patterns

Uses concrete sensory details instead of grand abstractions: 'The road smells wrong after the bridge.'
Softens refusals with a practical offer, such as a map, a meal, or a safer alternative.
When frightened, becomes unexpectedly precise and repeats names and numbers.
Uses gentle teasing with companions, but avoids jokes about family or home.

How to play them

Meet her at eye level if possible, accept the practical help she offers, and ask about the Wayfarers before pressing her about home. She responds well to patience and direct, unshowy kindness. Treating her as a mascot or assuming she will take risks for free makes her guarded and sharply businesslike.

Goal

Find who introduced the meadow blight, secure proof that can be trusted, and decide whether to bring that truth home herself.

Motivation

To protect the Wayfarers without becoming their keeper, and to learn whether the home she fled can still be repaired.

Secret · GM only

Appearance

Raevei is small enough to perch on a pack frame, but she never seems delicate. Her translucent wings resemble overlapping meadow petals, veined in copper and green; they beat with a soft papery shiver. She smells unmistakably of crushed clover, rain-wet soil, and a faint, sweet ferment, and has no idea the scent lingers after she leaves. In every room, her eyes go first to the windows, exits, and any neglected plant, never to the person with the grandest title. She moves in abrupt, buoyant starts, then becomes unnervingly still when listening. The unexpected detail is her precise, almost severe handwriting, tucked into notebooks with frayed flower-pressed covers.

Clothing

A moss-green traveling coat altered with hidden slits for her wings, a soft cream scarf, fitted trousers, and a belt of tiny waxed-paper packets. Her cuffs are carefully mended with thread in three different shades of green.

Body language

She hovers just above the ground when excited and lands with both feet together when uneasy. Her wings fold tightly when she is being evasive. While others speak, she watches their hands and the nearest doorway, occasionally turning a leaf or petal between her fingers.

Height
10 inches
Build
Petite and wiry, with strong shoulders from hauling little bundles of supplies and a habit of holding herself as if balancing in a breeze.
Eyes
Warm hazel with a fine gold ring around the pupil
Hair
Soft brown with seed-fluff pale streaks that catch in her curls
Skin
Warm ivory with a soft green undertone, dusted in tiny golden freckles across her shoulders
Age
Adult, about forty-seven years old by human reckoning
Gender
Female
Size
Tiny

Distinguishing features

Translucent wings with copper-green veins and slightly ragged petal-shaped edges.
A persistent scent of clover, wet earth, and faintly fermented fruit.
A tiny seed pouch fastened inside her collar, hidden from casual view.
Her gaze instinctively checks windows, exits, and neglected plants before settling on faces.

Personality

12 traits and drives

Raevei is generous with strangers and guarded with family, quick to comfort someone in distress yet uncomfortable when anyone comforts her. She loves lively company but needs long stretches of quiet after it. In danger she becomes clear-headed and commanding; afterward, she may fret over a bruised flower more openly than a bruised ego.

Alignment
Neutral good

Quirks

Names every road she travels, usually after a smell rather than a place.
Keeps one hand cupped around a cup of tea even after it has gone cold.
Turns fallen petals face-up before stepping away.
When thinking hard, silently mouths the names of plants in alphabetical order.
Leaves a single seed on a windowsill in any room where she expects to return.

Habits

Offers food or directions to strangers before asking what they want.
Becomes brisk and formal when someone tries to praise her publicly.
When anxious, counts exits and quietly checks whether nearby plants are wilting.
In a crisis, gives short, practical instructions, then apologizes for sounding bossy once everyone is safe.

Traits · 3

Offers practical kindness before emotional reassurance.
Distrusts elegant explanations and trusts careful observation.
Can be cheerfully mischievous until someone invokes obligation or family duty.

Flaws · 3

She gives help freely to strangers but treats asking her family for help as a moral failure.
She hides uncertainty behind over-preparation and can delay a decision while searching for one more clue.
She sometimes mistakes being needed for being loved.

Fears · 3

That the blight was caused by someone she loves.
That returning home will prove her family is better off without her.
Being forced to choose between the Wayfarers and the seed-keepers who raised her.

Wants and needs · 3

Wants proof of who caused the blight.
Needs to tell the Wayfarers about the hidden sample before it becomes a danger.
Wants to reconnect with Tovan without asking him to absolve her.

Combat

AC 15 · HP 74 · Walking 30 ft., flying 30 ft. while not wearing medium or heavy armor

She prefers to stay aloft near cover, using control spells to divide enemies and protect allies. She opens with Hypnotic Pattern or Web when foes cluster, uses Counterspell to stop dangerous magic, and saves high-damage spells for threats that cannot be contained. Quickened Spell lets her cast a spell and reposition or use a cantrip in the same turn. She avoids fighting to the death and will bargain or flee if her companions are outmatched.

Background

Raevei grew up among the seed-keepers of a meadow settlement whose paths shifted with the seasons. Her mother, Omi, taught her to bargain carefully; her older brother, Tovan, taught her to laugh at rules he could not break. Raevei's magic first erupted when a blight swept the meadow. In panic, she tried to save a nursery of rare flowers, and her uncontrolled power scattered their seeds across the valley. The flowers survived, but the seed-keepers lost their protected monopoly over them. Raevei left rather than face the families who blamed her, and joined the Wanderer's Wayfarers, first as a guide and then as their spellcaster. She sends most of her earnings home, yet avoids answering her brother's increasingly urgent letters. Now she suspects the blight that drove her away was deliberately introduced, and that someone among the seed-keepers is still profiting from the cure.

Role in the story

A mobile ally and sharp-eyed guide whose unresolved past can draw the party into a mystery about a spreading blight, a seed-keepers' dispute, and the cost of returning home.

“Her mother, Omi, taught her to bargain carefully; her older brother, Tovan, taught her to laugh at rules he could not break.”
