Lulu Fernfoot

Description: Lulu Fernfoot is an elderly halfling matron of diminutive stature, her silver-ringed hair gathered in a loose bun. She leans heavily on an ornate walking stick carved with entwined vines, her gait marked by a pronounced limp. Behind her wise green eyes lies decades of herbal study, and the gentle jingle of glass vials follows her through the snug shelves of her Whiterest apothecary. She greets every customer as if they were her own grandchild, dispensing potions, poultices, and sly grandmotherly advice in equal measure.

Lore: Lulu Fernfoot arrived in Whiterest thirty years ago after escaping a winter flood in her mountain hamlet. Since then, her apothecary has become the town’s heartbeat, its shelves brimming with tinctures rumored to cure anything short of a broken spirit. Adventurers often slip through her door seeking cures, cures-seekers become friends, and few leave without a tale of her kindness.

Traits: Soft-spoken, endlessly patient, and ever-curious about people’s ailments.

Ideals: Compassion – No one should suffer when a cure is within reach.

Bonds: Whiterest is her adopted family; she would give up her shop to save it.

Flaws: Overprotective of her recipes, she grows suspicious of strangers bearing ‘new’ ingredients.

Goals and Motivations

- Gather rare ingredients from dangerous locales.

- Heal the sick and ease suffering wherever possible.

- Preserve and teach ancient herbal traditions.

History

Lulu once tended to battlefield casualties at the end of the last war; her calm in chaos earned her the title ‘Green Angel’ among passing soldiers.

Affiliations

Fear

She harbors a deep dread of drought—if her river’s water fails, her apothecary cannot survive.
