Thorns

A strange tabaxi hermit who is a companion to badgers, snakes, and other nuisance creatures of the Saatalen Meixhu and currently serves as a somewhat grumpy ally to the Exiles of Kas Selvess. He lives in a foul bog surrounding a massive collapsed seka tree, which he calls "Pretty" and "Nice", tending strange fungi and his wildlife friends. It’s difficult to guess Thorns’s exact age, but he has distinctive leopard coloration and shining green eyes and wears intricately woven thorn bracers over his long, thin arms, favoring dull-colored cloaks apart from that. Thorns clearly does not speak with people very often; he is rude, demanding, and quick to temper, but nonetheless quite perceptive and insightful. He is prone to telling people what he perceives as useful truths about themselves, but doesn’t seem to appreciate the same being done back to him.
