Thistle has spent most of their life outdoors, moving from place to place because they genuinely like it out there. They learned how to travel safely by tagging along with caravans, helping lost folks find their way, and just paying attention to how the land behaves. Somewhere along the way they picked up Sylvan and Elvish from forest travelers and fey-adjacent folk, mostly through long walks and friendly conversations. Being on the road and in the wilderness feels normal to them in a way staying put never quite did.

They’re a small harengon with a green cloak, leather armor worn smooth from use, and a simple spear that doubles as both weapon and walking aid. Thistle always looks confident, ears constantly twitching as they take everything in, and they tend to smile even when things are a little tense. They’re endlessly upbeat, quick to reassure others, and genuinely believe most problems can be solved by staying calm and moving forward. Thistle isn’t reckless, they’re just comfortable with uncertainty, and that confidence makes people trust them as a guide. Thistle is a very good navigator and is comfortable in the outdoors, especially in forests.
