Thorn

Thorn was born from the last seed of an ancient forest that was consumed by a terrible blight, her consciousness awakening in the scorched earth as a desperate act of nature's defiance against corruption. For centuries, she remained rooted in that cursed ground, slowly learning to purify the poisoned soil through her own life force, gradually coaxing new growth from the wasteland until a verdant sanctuary bloomed around her. When Fran, a wandering healer, discovered the miraculous garden thriving impossibly in that dead place, she recognized Thorn's profound gift for creating life-giving fruits and understood the dryad's quiet suffering from isolation. Rather than leave her friend behind when duty called her to help distant communities ravaged by plague and poison, Thorn agreed to be transplanted into a portable pot—a sacrifice she made willingly to serve the greater good. Now, traveling together as an inseparable pair, Thorn uses her ability to grow restorative and protective plants to aid Fran's healing work, while her control over vegetation has become a righteous shield against those who would harm the innocent. The black and crimson flower blooming upon her head is a living reminder of her origin—beautiful yet touched by shadow, a testament to her journey from a world of darkness into one dedicated to light and redemption.
