Backstory
Once a curious child fascinated by the forest’s plants, Pippa learned herbal lore from her grandmother, a healer with a hidden past. The night a strange illness swept through her village, Pippa risked the shadows of the wild woods to find a rare flower said to cure any ailment. The cure worked, but the flower’s magic left a subtle mark on her—her remedies now have an uncanny effectiveness that some whisper is touched by old fey magic. She keeps this secret close, fearing both awe and suspicion.
Personality
Pippa's voice is soft, lilting with warmth that puts visitors at ease. She tilts her head slightly when listening, tuning into quiet details. Her fingers lightly tap rhythms on the wooden counter when thoughtful. She hums gentle tunes while working and speaks familiarly, calling customers by name and sharing bits of local gossip as friendship.
