The Lore of Charmer Larissa of the Hills

She was born in a small Elven agricultural settlement called High Steps. Like the generations before her, she learned to work the soil and commune with the local wildlife. Her druidic powers grew from an early age, so she had many animal companions while growing up, and the forces of nature she controlled slowly started to shift her body into a more animal form. With intense concentration, she could maintain a mostly normal human form, except for the antlers which she couldn’t force to fully recede. And that was fine with her, since she found all things non-human to be sacred.

She preferred solitude, at least from humans, so often went on quests that lasted weeks or months. She developed quite a reputation in her village as the one to seek out if you needed something found out in the wilds, or if you wanted to hire someone to make a long trip for some reason. Her travel through the toughest of wilds was made even easier with her ability to Tree-step and her ability to charm any animal, be it friendly or otherwise.

Her latest quest was for a neighbor who needed someone to deliver a small package to his cousin in El Dorado, on the other side of the Great Brambles. At the edge of the Brambles, she crossed paths with a very friendly witch named Rowena of the Brambles (#5650) who was searching for her pet cat. Even though Larissa was in her half-animal form, this did not seem to bother Rowena at all. Furthermore, Larissa didn’t feel her normal distaste for humans when she met the witch. Larissa vowed to help Rowena find her cat, so she started to commune with any wildlife they encountered along the path, and in short order, Felton the Bay Cat was found. Although she clearly needed no help, Larissa invited the witch to accompany her on her quest, and was surprised that the offer was accepted.

Their next stop would be the town of El Dorado to meet her neighbor’s cousin Archmagus Silas (#6575).
