Personal history
Sprout's life has been relatively uneventful until the past few years, but fulfilling nonetheless. As a girl, she loved running wild through the fields around Henview and spending time in nature.
As an adult, she began to long for a bit more. Despite being taught her whole life that the home and hearth are everything, she wants to explore the lands beyond Henview. Cyrrollalee is not only the goddess of home but of creating new homes for halflings. She would love to chart a course for her kinspeople to expand beyond their small valley.

Sprout tries to do the right thing, even when it's difficult. Keeping her loved ones safe and well-cared for is of upmost importance to her.
Vices & Personality flaws
Sprout hasn't seen much of the world and can be naive at times. She often is too trusting of strangers.
She also is prone to the vices of the city like drink and gambling, not having experienced much of either in Henview.
Personality Quirks
Sprout doesn't like to sit still long, and will find some way to occupy herself, whether by bouncing her knee or fiddling with whatever is in front of her.
Hygiene
She keeps exceptionally clean, magically creating water for bathing even when in the most remote of places. Her soap smells of allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon -- a small taste of home on the road, made by one of the Honeyfoot cousins in town.
Social
Contacts & Relations
Family
Fern Honeyfoot
Sprig and Sprout's mother, and the healer in Henview. Fern was born in Henview and left when she was around Sprout's age for a time, as many young halflings do. When she returned, she had two babies in tow and took up the family apothecary business. Sprout hasn't ever asked about the time Fern was gone, because she seems sad when it is brought up.
Sprig Honeyfoot
Sprout's slightly older brother. They are under a year apart and essentially grew up as twins. They share a very close bond, with Sprout tending to follow Sprig wherever he ends up going. Sprig was part of the expedition to Baldur's Gate where Aiden and Barty passed away. Sprig had a quiet romance with Aiden, and took his loss hard. Sprout has spent the year since trying to help Sprig get his spark back.
Maple & Plum Honeyfoot
Sprout's younger cousins, now adopted siblings. Their parents were slain in a Gnoll attack when Sprout was young, and Fern took them in.
Sprig and Sprout's first adventure started as a rescue mission for Plum and Maple, who also were abducted by gnolls. They were rescued and brought home, on the way Sprout met Kal of the Dragon Isles and Marielle, the elven bard.
Friends
Aiden Merryweather
Deceased
The captain of the Henview guard, Sprig's boyfriend, and one of Sprout's closest friends. He was a few years older than Sprig and Sprout and was leading their expedition to Baldur's Gate. They stayed behind a few days to enjoy some merriment, then on the journey home they were attacked by a wolf pack and a hag, the latter of which Aiden sacrificed himself to so that the rest of the party could escape.
Barty Stonehill
Deceased
Another member of the guard, Barty was killed in the line of duty by a wolf.
Stewart Rumpkin
The only surviving member of the troop, aside from Sprig and Sprout, that went to Baldur's Gate. Stewart initially got on Sprout's nerves, but he has proven to be an effective captain in Aiden's absence, and Sprout has grown to respect him.
Nyx
A bounty hunter Sprout and Sprig met about a year after Aiden's death. They helped her with a job in the surrounding area of Henview and became fast friends. Nyx traveled with Sprout and Sprig to Lyrabar after they received Kal's invitation to the Starbright Hotel & Casino.
Kal of the Dragon Isles
A prolific author of The Sea of Fallen Stars: Legends and Tales among other books. Kal met Sprout and Sprig when his wagon to Baldur's Gate broke down near Henview. The halflings helped Kal and his traveling companion, Marielle Mora the bard, fix their wagon and showed them the hospitality of the Hearthmother. In return, Kal gifted them an enchanged "advanced reader's" copy of his book.
Kal invited the halflings to Lyrabar for Marielle's residency at the Starbright Hotel & Casino
Marielle Mora
Kal's traveling companion and renowned Lyrabar bard. She is elven and beautiful.
Family Ties
Fern, Sprig, Plum, and Maple
Religious Views
Sprout was raised in the spiritual tradition of Cyrrollalee, the Hearthmother. She is quite devout and worships with the town of Henview each Hearth Day on the first of each month. Her connection to Cyrrollalee is what led her to becoming a Cleric; she comes from a long line of halflings granted healing powers from The Hearthmother.
Her faith has yet to be tested outside of the safety of Henview, but she remains a loyal follower and tries to embody the tenets of Cyrrollalee wherever she goes.
Social Aptitude
Sprout can be annoyingly upbeat at times but has a kind heart. She just wants everyone to feel safe and okay being with her, and tends to play the host in social situations.
Hobbies & Pets
Briar Honeyfoot
Sprout's scraggly old cat, Briar, is as much a part of the family as Plum and Maple. Surprisingly long-lived for a cat, Sprout found him as a young woman wandering the hills around Henview. He'd been grievously injured by wild animals when Sprout found him. Her connection to The Hearthmother manifested that day and when she picked the cat up, his wounds were healed (though the scars remained,) through the radiant light of Cyrrollalee.
From that day on, they were never apart; Briar goes with Sprout everywhere, riding along in her cloak or pack.
Wealth & Financial state
The Honeyfoots are not materially wealthy, but they are rich in love and homely comforts. They live in the ancestral Honeyfoot home, a large tree in the center of Henview.

Sprout is a young halfling from the rural village of Henview. She is a cleric of Cyrrollalee who, alongside her brother, Sprig, served in the Henview guard before setting out on a grand adventure together.
