Willow Pino Kennard

Willow Pino Kennard is a woman of sharp wit, fierce loyalty, and a presence that commands attention before a word is spoken. Born and raised in Camp Hope, Willow has spent her life working the land, inheriting both the skill and the pride of her father’s dedication to farming. Her hands are calloused from years of labor, yet her movements are precise, reflecting a perfectionist streak that extends from her work in the fields to every endeavor she undertakes. Recently, she has taken over Green Grocers, bringing the same energy, discipline, and sense of responsibility to managing her trade as she once did to tending crops.

If you’re not sweating, bleeding, or cursing, you’re not doing it right!

Willow thrives in motion and exertion, whether in the physical demands of farm work, the camaraderie of communal labor, or the tense battlefield of a poker table. She is notorious across Camp Hope for her uncanny ability to intimidate opponents with a single, unnerving stare—a skill she leverages with ruthless efficiency in games of poker, where her talent for deception and manipulation is unparalleled. Those brave enough to challenge her quickly discover that any defeat at her hands, of course, must be due to cheating. She swears with wild colorfulness, peppering conversations with exclamations that mark her as both fiery and passionate.

Cheat me once, shame on you. Cheat me twice, and I’ll make sure you regret ever sitting at the table.

Her worldview is rooted in loyalty and a kind of hard-earned pride. Willow favors humans over other races and regards The Awakened and The Others as lesser, a bias that shapes both her alliances and her judgments. Yet she is guided by ideals of camaraderie: she believes the strongest bonds are forged through shared struggle and mutual effort, and she has made the welfare and glory of her home her personal bond.

ork hard, play hard, and never let anyone tell you it isn’t worth it.

Beyond her forceful personality, Willow carries valuable knowledge. She is skilled with the Herbalism Kit, able to craft remedies and teach the art to others, often trading goods or services for both profit and influence. She values precision, fairness, and the integrity of her work above all else, seeing perfection as not merely an aspiration but a duty.

Camaraderie isn’t built on comfort—it’s hammered out in struggle, sweat, and a little blood.

Willow’s mannerisms, beliefs, and habits—her colorful swearing, her insistence on honest effort, her suspicion of trickery—combine into the persona of a woman who is relentless, passionate, and unafraid to challenge others. Whether in the fields, in trade, or at the poker table, she lives by the principle that strength, skill, and loyalty are earned, never given, and that every test of her resolve is an opportunity to prove herself for the honor and glory of her home.

A half-hearted effort is an insult to the work itself. Anything worth doing deserves perfection.
