Swanmay (Human appearance)/ Female/ 24

  

Denora appears to most to look like a ranger-type. She is an average-looking, 24-year old human woman with green eyes and deep chestnut brown hair. She is fair skinned and has light freckles on her face. She usually wears a brown cotton tunic & under-vest, green and brown leathers, iridescent green chiton armor, a forest camouflage long cloak, and high, soft brown moccasin boots.

In truth, Denora is an initiate level druid, although she looks like she could be a ranger. She keeps her Swanmay heritage a secret if at all possible, but will shapechange if she feels her life is in danger, and that’s the only way she can escape. She carries a simple (+1) black, ironwood staff with a silver tip and an engraved, steel ring around the top (the ring is actually one of 5 rings of the druidic order "The Band of the Hand" and holds a semi-powerful wood sprite spirit inside of it called "Tallacan". See below for Tallacan’s powers, etc.). Denora also carries an ornately carved oaken Long Bow over her back, complete with a green, embossed leather quiver, that holds up to 20 sheaf arrows. A silver sickle rests at her side, and she carries an iron dagger in her right boot.
