Tansy Hazelthorn
the Thunderbloom Witch
Named for the bitter flower that roots in gravel and the thorn that cradles the lightning.
Power
Storm-sowing — you press a pebble into damp earth and call down a shower of hailstones that leave tiny craters in the soil, each one sprouting a fern by morning.

The village says you were hatched from a lightning-struck egg. They say your mother was a summer squall, your father a cliffside. You don't correct them — you let them wonder why the cairn on the hill never stays the same shape, why the bees swarm only when you whistle. You know the truth: you are what grows where storm meets stone, and you have always been too stubborn to wilt.
