Thessaly Shadowthorn
the Briarbone Witch
Born of the wild tangle of thorn and the deep shadow of buried things, named for the bone that grows from the earth's darkness.
Power
You call the shadows to root and the roots to shadow — you coax bones from the soil and weave them into a shelter that breathes.

One afternoon you were clearing briar behind the sheep barn when your fingers closed over something that was not root or stone. The shadow of the briar pooled around it, and the bone began to hum. That evening, you knew you could call whatever lay underground.
