Druid Soya of the Grotto #1742

Within the hidden depths of the Crystal Grotto, where underground streams nourish gardens of luminous succulents, dwells Soya, the unexpected Sage of Desert Blooms. Her silver hair, adorned with tiny crystal fragments that catch and scatter cave light, marks her many decades of communion with the hardiest of plant life. In her weathered hands she cradles Spike, a sentient cactus whose flower blooms predict underground storms and whose needles point unerringly toward hidden water sources. While other druids seek the company of ancient trees or delicate flowers, Soya has mastered the art of listening to plants that others dismiss as mere thorny survivors. Her brown leather garments, accented with touches of emerald, bear countless tiny punctures from years of careful cactus cultivation. The Desert Circles acknowledge her as their most valuable member, though she seldom attends their gatherings, preferring to send her wisdom through messages carved into durable succulent leaves. In her grotto sanctuary, she maintains a vast garden of rare desert plants, each one carefully positioned to tell its own story through shadow and light. The apprentices who seek her teachings must first prove their dedication by tending to the most stubborn of desert blooms, learning that patience and resilience often bear the sweetest fruit.
