Ophyte

"I only wish to share the beauty of what is beyond what we know here. If you have a moment, stay for tea?"

Owner of Oxen free's oddities. Ophyte is a strange and gentle dragon with a passion for collecting rare, precious, and pretty trinkets, all for the sake of seeing and sharing them. Each item has a story, and each item has a purpose, if not to her then to some dragon somewhere out there, she's sure.
She has an unusual way of exchanging goods, insisting that an items value does not come from its rarity, but from what it means to her client and what history it has, so if you barter with her, she will require that you state what you desire, and that you share with her the story of how you came across what it is you will be exchanging.

She has made many allies and acquaintances in many places. And though, she doesn't travel that often anymore, she will be delighted to tell tales with any curious dragons over tea, and if you give her a gift, know that she will cherish it deeply and consider you a close friend.
Ophyte tends to get ahead of her own banter, speaking cryptically at times. she is wise but has trouble expressing what she means because she feels every word she speaks.

"ah, yes... I see what it is you desire. But I warn you, tread lightly the path you choose, for I have seen some the same lose this narrow road to thickets of indecision and often find themselves unable to brave what has overgrown...ahem, well, if you would care to- I have some fresh Jasmine and Hyacinthia brewing?
... Oh, of course. You must be in a hurry, then. Take care young one, watch your step, and do come back to tell me of what fate finds you, hm?"
