Pierce

His family had a long tradition of gardening. Together they worked to create all kinds of plant variants. His father's specialty was mint plants in particular. Their square stalks and fragrant leaves were renowned throughout the clans.
Pierce helped out from a very young age. As a hatchling he chased off, or ate, insects and when he got older he was able to haul water or transplant the plants. He loved the work. The smells of the earth and plants became all too familiar to him and brought him comfort.
Now, he had entire patches under his care. Each strain of mint had to have proper and consistent care. It needed to be kept free of pests and he had to ensure there was no unintentional cross pollination. The work was peaceful and relaxed; so long as the duties got done daily there was no time constraints.
His father had gone on to work directly with Stormcatcher some time ago. This meant that Pierce was responsible for making new kinds of mint as well. For the first while, there had been many hybrids that his father left unfinished. Now they all bred true and there was nothing new in development. He knew that had to change.
Driven by the goal of finding new mints, he left his home. He collects seeds and clippings of many plants related to mint in hopes of creating new subtypes. The domain of Gladekeeper is promising with its abundant plant life; he may even settle down there permanently!
