''"I believe that a flower which can grow in a wasteland is as strong as it is beautiful."''
Mariel is an herb merchant who trades her wares to Drifters, cooks, doctors, and others who need a bit of greenery in their life. She has a nearly magical knack with plants and is one of the few people able to cultivate healing berries, as well as coax more mundane types of herbs and flowers to grow even in the most desolate territories of Filgaia. On top of that, her herbal treatments and tonics are capable of helping even very badly injured people. Though she looks to be barely a teenager, Mariel has been selling her flowers for decades, and it's rumoured that 'Mariel' is a name shared by multiple people in her family, and she's inherited the position - or that she's something stranger than the Beastman she appears to be. Perhaps that's why she lives alone, in a hidden location, and only travels to various towns to distribute her plants or care for the injured and sick.
== Background ==
As far as anyone knows, Mariel is a beastwoman who works as an herbalist, sometime doctor, and florist. Her herbal treatments are highly effective, she can treat even the very sick or gravely wounded, but her first love is flowers. She travels apparently randomly, showing up in various towns and cities to distribute her greenery.
Oddly enough, Mariel looks about thirteen, but has been doing this for decades - even old greybeards might be able to remember a Mariel from their youth. It's generally put down to a combination of whatever type of beastman she is keeping her young-looking and it being a family affair; surely there's been multiple Mariels over the last fifty years, right?
But the truth is, of course, stranger than fiction.
Mariel is the last remaining Elw on Filgaia. No other Elw has lived there for hundreds of years, since the Day of Collapse. Rather than leave with her kin, she stayed for reasons she has never told a soul on Filgaia. Her goal is to see Filgaia green and vibrant and filled with flowers once again. While she has not fulfilled her dream, she does what she can, growing plants in her various hidden gardens and pushing back against the slow decay of the planet.
== Powers and Abilities ==
Mariel is an Elw, one of the original inhabitants of Filgaia. She doesn't hide what she looks like, trusting to the fact that pretty much nobody alive has ever seen an Elw to identify her and blending in with the beastman population... though it's not impossible for a scholar to make a guess as to what she is. She does not age, and will live as long as Filgaia does unless something kills her first.
For most of her life, Mariel has been growing plants. Her green thumb verges on miraculous. Mariel can grow plants in Filgaia's poor soil, even plants thought to be impossible to cultivate like healing berries. Plants under her care thrive and grow strong. Her gardens are wondrous things. She knows how to use her plants, too; she's an herbalist, a cook, and a woodworker.
Mariel has a wide variety of mundane skills beyond the use of her plants - she's been living for a very long time and has been largely self-sufficient for centuries - but the most developed is medical treatment. She's learned how to perform surgery and other works of doctoring on both people and animals, especially using herbal and other natural treatments as an aid.
Despite her wealth of knowledge and her frequent travels, Mariel is not a Drifter. She does not know how to fight and prefers to help people rather than try to hurt them. She does not join Digging expeditions but, if she's in town, is a frequent destination for injured Diggers to visit.
