You see '''Gardener Claribel Camden''', Healer of Kaerna Village, an Elven Empath.<br>
She has a round face, a lovely oxeye daisy with a glittering yellow center tucked behind one of her pointed ears, large expressive speckled seafoam-green eyes, a dainty dawns-eye daisy nose stud piercing one side of a freckled nose and dimples.  Her sunflower blonde hair is long and wavy, and is worn braided and deftly woven with a diacan haedor.  She has tawny skin and a coltish figure.<br>
She is surprisingly tall for an Elf.<br>

She is wearing a simple golden locket, a bright yellow wool jacket embroidered all over with tiny black bees, a creamy high-necked linen shirt, a simple charm bracelet held closed by a silken knot, a string sweetheart's token band of treasureweave with a solitary sungold bead, some lightweight black cotton pants with rolled-up cuffs and some calf-length black leather boots.<br>
==Brief Summary==
Claribel was raised by her adoptive mothers Saira and Jaya, and grew up on a sprawling farm tucked away in a valley to the north.  While an inexact date, it is presumed she was born sometime in the summer months of 404, and they've always celebrated her birthday as such.  She left the farm, traveled south, and officially joined the Empath Guild in the spring of 437.  Not long after joining the guild she met another young Elf, the squire [[Elurora]].  The two became fast friends, and whenever Claire is called back home they continue their communication via lengthy multi-page letters.  In the case of Claire, these letters are sent to Elu with tins of iced ginger or shortbread cookies, the baked goods often cut into fanciful (and lopsided) shapes that relate to whatever was written about that week.  Currently she resides in a small rented cottage in Kaerna on High Street where she maintains a tidy vegetable garden and attempts to raise bees.<br>

==Notes==
- Usually goes by Claire, though [[Elurora]] gave her the nickname "Bel" and it stuck.<br>
- Dreams of going on a long sea voyage.  Or even a short one.  Honestly, she'd just like to go sailing on a big boat.<br>
- Bakes, gifts, and consumes ''a lot'' of cookies.<br>
- Has an adorable orange tabby kitten.  Her name is Saffron, and she's kind of mean.<br>
- Rescued a runt-sized Kaernan boar from her garden.  His name is Carrots, and he's really sweet.<br>
- Loves to knit.  Especially enjoys knitting different "scarfollars" and vests for Elu's dog Dog.<br>
- Stood as [[Esusta]]'s Oath Keeper when they were made a Squire, even though she's still confused as to what that all meant.<br>
- Most likely to bring packed lunches to a daring rescue because someone is bound to be hungry.<br>
- Devoted to Berengaria and Tamsine.  Knows a lot of random cow and cat facts.  Which she will share with folks whether they want her to or not.<br>
- Isn't looking for adventure, but her curiosity will likely lead her there.  Or [[Elurora]].  Maybe her curiosity is named Elu?<br>
- Was cast in the role of the Mermaid in [[Allye]]'s play "The Little Lobster" for TART.<br>
- Became [[Elurora]]'s sweetheart in the autumn of 439 (after ruining Elu's carefully laid out plans).<br>

==Knitted Niceties==
- This blanket was knitted as a gift for Elurora after she bravely protected Claribel during an assault on Rossman's Chapel during a Berengaria appreciation event.<br>

'''a heavy wool blanket knit from a sea of blue yarn''' / ''Thick and fluffy with a delightfully squishy bounce when squeezed, this enormous blanket is perfect for curling up beneath for a cozy nap.  Myriad blue yarns meld into a peaceful aqueous hue, the subtle shifts in color reminiscent of ripples gliding through a sky-reflected expanse of water.  Here and there are small flecks of pink and white wool, the soft points of color poised like flower petals caught upon the blanket's plush surface.''<br>

When asked why it was such a large blanket, Claribel admitted that while she knew how to begin the project, she didn't actually know when it should end.  If nothing else, her friend will not go cold with such a pile of warmth on her bed.<br>

- Claribel is currently working on a secret gift to celebrate Elurora's Squire graduation.
