Origin Elder root witch of Thornmere
Thessaly has kept seedlings in the hollows of Thornmere since before the wheel was nailed, trees unseen below for nine hundred years. Her herbs went down to Morwen's barrows with the lesson of which ones keep a body sweet, and she still corrects her student's measures. When Elderhusk, the Rotwood Ancient, spread his blight and choked out the healing herbs, she bound living vines into her skin and carried the last clean saplings up the mountain. Where she walks, roots catch foes by the ankle and sap closes her friends' wounds. Her destined office is the Wild Growth. Elderhusk holds it, and Yorvan Deepmoss wants it too: a mound with opinions, she says.
Roots dig deep in dark soil. We will bloom above the clouds.

Thessaly cultivated this predatory briar when Elderhusk spread rotwood blight across the hollows of Thornmere. Pointing her leafy rowan sapling staff with gnarled hands, she aims its crown of red berries at the deadliest foe. A barbed tendril of moss-green and bark-brown vines shoots from her fingers, coiling around the target's limbs. The tightening brambles crush the victim with magical agony, totally suppressing them so they cannot act or cleanse the hold.

She learned to ride rising mountain winds while carrying the last clean rowan saplings up the rocky peaks. Tapping the moss-wrapped root ball of her living rowan staff against stone, Thessaly loosens a seed pouch at her woven grass belt. She scatters downy seeds into the air and dashes backward on the breeze, floating away from approaching danger. A swirling trail of moss-green pollen lingers along her path, slowing the advance of all pursuers.

Centuries of nurturing seedlings in hidden hollows honed Thessaly's vigilant instinct to protect fragile life from sudden harm. Whenever a nearby companion drops into critical injury, the living vines bound into her bark-brown skin glow with vibrant green light. A droplet of warm amber sap condenses upon the leaves of her tall rowan staff and darts across the field. The soothing balm instantly seals the wounded ally's gashes, healing their critical injuries with ancient woodland vitality.

She devised this creeping snare during her long boundary dispute with Yorvan Deepmoss along the mountain ridges. Thessaly plants the moss-bound base of her living rowan staff into soil and stomps her bare, root-gnarled foot. A fissure tears forward in a straight line as thick bark-brown roots with moss-green thorns erupt from the earth. The surging roots strike enemies with earth magic, tangling around their legs to root them in place.

Thessaly harvested medicinal herbs for Morwen's ancient barrows, learning which mountain plants preserve sweet flesh against rot. Raising her living rowan sapling staff high, she shakes its leafy crown until the red berries gleam. A soothing cloud of emerald pollen and white blossoms drifts over the battle lines toward her three most wounded companions. The fragrant shower washes over their injuries, closing torn flesh and healing their weary bodies with revitalizing vigor.

She swore to awaken the full glory of Wild Growth until every blighted corner of the forest is restored. Thrusting the root ball of her living rowan sapling staff into dirt, Thessaly spreads her arms as white blossoms along her skin flare with verdant brilliance. An enchanted grove of moss-green turf and glowing red rowan shoots blooms around her. The sacred field continually heals companions while lashing hostile intruders with relentless nature damage.

Character sheet
Appearance
Thessaly is a small, bent, ancient woman, older than the nailed wheel, with wrinkled bark-brown skin, sharp green eyes bright as new leaves, and long white hair braided with ivy and dried flowers down to her knees. Living vines are bound into her skin, green tendrils winding up her arms and neck that sprout small leaves and white blossoms. She wears a Thornmere root witch's dress: a long patched robe of moss green and earth brown, a shawl of woven grass, a belt of seed pouches and bare, root-gnarled feet. Her focus is one living rowan sapling she carries as a staff: a slim trunk as tall as she is with green leaves and a cluster of red berries at its crown, its roots bound alive in a ball of moss and twine at the bottom. Palette: moss green, bark brown, rowan red. Silhouette hook: a tiny hunched crone with a leafy sapling taller than herself.
