Thistle

Thistle




"Nothing is ever truly dead. Nothing leaves no mark."





Thistle was born and raised in the eastern, inland side of the Crystalspine Reaches; into a clan of traditional Arcanists, often interacting with Earthern shrinekeepers and involved in Riot of Rot supply drops. All around, a lovely child, if not over empathetic.



Since her first visit to Dragonhome, she was drawn to the ruins of the World Tower- to a point of uncharacteristic anger when denied. This was, for a long time, seen as nothing more than teenaged angst ; that is, until she revealed her attachment to the structure was because it spoke to her.

Since the reveal, Thistle became a figure of folk religion, being called upon to ask the Tower for prophecies & blessings for local clans ; something the structure was eager to provide. It enjoyed speaking, telling tales of ancient battles against the Shade & flights united. Under such an influence, Thistle grew into a staunch believer in flight unity.



She is a naturally caring- maternal, and "big sibling"-like ; level-headed and open-minded. Other than her strong flight-based opinions, she is extremely open to new ideas and views, often resulting in very centrist positions. Though, to take this as naivete is foolish. Thistle is a constant thinker, closer to a all-absorbing blob than a malleable slime. The calm demeanor can be shattered at the first sign of cruelty.
