Jade

Lifelong resident of the Viridian Labyrinth, Jade has a strong passion for the beauty of the life there. An artist by trade, she can often be seen traveling throughout Nature's territory, capturing and recording images of the life around her. Her favorite subjects to draw are the great trees and plants of the woods, but she has been known to seek out dragons or amiable beastkin she finds particularly interesting to model for her when she comes across them and to trade the use of her skills for rare and favored materials. Offering her mute swan feathers or an elk hide is almost assured to buy some of her time.

Aside from these cases she gained the vast majority of her other materials by gathering and scavenging, a trade which she is highly skilled at. In her efforts to make her portrayals as accurate as possible Jade has grown rather particular about what resources she chooses to use. She often spends long stretches of time traveling throughout the labyrinth in search of the perfect minerals to grind into dyes or berries to make into ink. She usually stores these in vials or bottles tied into the strings of her wingpiece or tucked into the folds of the paint-stained bandages she wears around her legs.

To help expedite the searching process, she has trained her pocket mouse to look for potentially useful items and alert her of potential dangers. Much as Jade admires the liveliness of the great forest's residents, she considers time spent on conflict wasted since she could be doing something to advance her artistic endeavors instead. When she cannot evade a fight, she prefers to disable her opponents and escape whenever possible.
