Pitch

Pitch was among the young found abandoned at the original lair in the Emberglow Hearth. Though raised with love and protection, Pitch has never uttered a word, draconic or otherwise. Whether her muteness is a born trait or the result of some physical or mental injury is yet unknown.

What is well-known, however, is Pitch's incredible talent with herbs and poultices. She often accompanies Baron on his foraging runs, and seemingly by instinct picks, plucks and keeps herbs and plants with soothing and/or healing properties.

Though she possesses no healing magic, her natural remedies are indispensable to the clan. Warriors returning from the coliseum often turn to her to heal their wounds, and are seldom disappointed.

Many in the clan are still somewhat put off by her silence and seemingly stand-offish nature, but beneath her quiet bone-and-feather-clad exterior lies a loving, patient, and caring heart.

Recently, Pitch started a family with one of the clan's resident warriors and hunters. No-one is quite sure how the two hooked up, for Pitch only smiles softly when asked, and her partner Scorch seems to change the story every time it comes up in conversation. In all likelihood, though, they probably bonded while Pitch tended Scorch's battle wounds at some point. They're a rather unusual and unexpected couple, but it's clear that they care very deeply for each other and their hatchlings.
