Perdita Hemlockholt
the Lostwood Witch
Born of the hemlock grove where 'lost' is a verb not a state, named for the pathways that vanish behind you.
Power
Thorn-darning — you stitch torn earth back together with bramble and wild mint, and the ground forgets it was ever wounded.
- Familiar
- a pine marten named Briar
- Coven
- Hollowbriar
Refusal of the hemlock grove's boundary cost you your way home — the brambles swallowed your footprints and gave you a new name. You learned to ask the thorns for direction, and they answered in lost birdcalls and the scent of wild mint.
