Age 61, 5' 9", 129 lb., slender; blue skin, black hair (in long braids resembling kelp), green eyes. Larkspur has angular features, and is rather attractive in spite of her webbed digits and blue skin. She wears feathers in her hair and typically wears leather trousers and tunics, often edged with primitive but pretty symbols.
Larkspur is the daughter of an unknown mother who left her with her father, Girard, a human farmer in a village on the island of Arakesh, off the coast of Rolland. She was born with partially webbed digits and blue-tinted skin; when her nonhuman heritage asserted itself even more strongly upon entering adolescence, the narrow-minded village elders banished her rather than tolerate her freakishness any longer. She wandered from village to village on the island, and later the adjacent mainland, but she found no welcome in any of them, only beatings and false accusations. When she heard of Freeport, and its tolerance of exotic races, she thought she might finally find a place to fit in there. Alone, she traveled south until she reached the Ivory Ports. She worked as a trapper until she scraped together enough money for passage on the cheapest ship available, but was starved, robbed, and beaten by the crew and unceremoniously dumped on the docks when they reached Freeport. Within a few years, however, Larkspur found work as an adventurer based on her wilderness survival skills. She traveled to and from the Continent a number of times, but always returned to Freeport, which is the closest she's ever had to a real home.
Two years ago, while camping in the jungle to escape the crowded, stinking city for a time, Larkspur had a vision of a woman who was almost her exact duplicate, but with the eyes of a far older woman. The woman scratched a symbol, "daughter," in the dirt and dropped a small faded bag like one she had left behind on Arakesh, then vanished. From that time, Larkspur became a true shaman, devoting herself to understanding the natural and spirit worlds.
One year later, Larkspur returned to her home village on Arakesh for the first time since her banishment six years before, only to learn that her father had many years before. The village and its people were slowly dying due to blighted ground and spreading illness, but she only lingered long enough to ease the passing of the dying village priest and healer before leaving again, this time for good.
As a child, Larkspur was taught the worship of the nature goddess Aymari by the farmers of Arakesh. She has since learned to honor Her as goddess of the earth and all nature.
