You see Forest Child Linawen, an Elven Ranger.

She has pointed ears and green eyes. Her strawberry hair is short and curly, and is worn unkempt. She has rosy skin. She appears to be young.
She is in good shape.

She is holding an iltesh in her right hand and a scorched phoenix mask edged with tattered feathers in her left.

She is wearing a brown cloak embroidered with a large maple tree, a stout quarter staff, a rich brown leather weapon harness embossed with intricate knotwork, a heavy cotton bedroll dyed with a camouflage pattern, a tanned leather arca embroidered with a glorious Sana'ati Dyaus, a deep green suede tunic with dark leather laces, a vine-like silver armband adorned with silk leaves, a leather cuff embroidered with the words "No Ranger stands alone," a brown doeskin gerri with a silver buckle emblazoned with an emerald and platinum-inlaid Sana'ati Dyaus, a silver flask engraved with a hunter, a worked leather herb pouch, a leather hip pouch painted with the image of swirling autumn leaves, a tawny doeskin gem pouch embroidered with a majestic stag, a brown doeskin balac studded down each leg with a row of emerald buttons shaped like the Sana'ati Dyaus, a fringed buckskin thigh quiver with the clear outline of an owl branded into it, a sturdy leather thigh sheath reinforced along the edges with rawhide knots and some brown suede moccasins laced with knotted leather cords.

Behavior

She is encountered only rarely, sometimes in the wilds, sometimes skulking around the edges of civilization. While some have tried to engage her, most attempts have succeeded only in causing her to run off. She herself seems to choose to engage with others, sometimes leaving little gifts of gems or food as near than as she dares. There is only one report of her ever speaking, but even this seemed to be gibberish: "gem-ah" or something like that. The woman who solicited this response from her also reported her crying, again the only instance of this known in any interaction.

Despite this seeming antisocial nature, she regularly joins in battle against common invading enemies. She has been seen attempting to protect others during such fights, and breaking off from battle to drag the dead and injured from the battlefield. She seems to be skilled in first aid, as well as hand-to-hand combat.

She seems to have an affinity for those involved in trade, as those working the routes are the ones who most frequently report contact with her, with her trailing them at a safe distance, and occasionally feeding oxen from her own supplies. These traders say that she is most likely to turn up near Stone Clan, which aligns with other reports of sightings of her near a burnt-out cabin that sits close to the south bank of the river in Sorrow's Reach.
