CORDA "Miss Cordie" BROOME
NG Human Warlock 4 / Cleric (Nature) 3
They say Miss Cordie was touched, even as a young'un. As she grew older, she always seemed to have a great bond with, and peculiar knowledge of, the Old Ways.
Her "peculiarity" ensured that she never found a proper husband, nor had any children of her own, but, from time to time, one of the local families would send their own "peculiar" young girl child to foster with her and see if the young'un, too, might be well-attuned to the Old Ways. Most often, the young gal would grow out of her odd phase and return to her folks enriched with a bit of wisdom and, much to their relief, more suitable to a life of matrimony.
And then, several years passed by since she'd had such a ward, and folk wern't sure Miss Cordie might ever take on another gal.
Even so, Miss Cordie was rarely alone at her homestead, with all her chickens and her energetic hound dog, Teeter, to keep her company.
And still today passin' folk often see her and Ol' Doc Faust sittin' on her front porch gabbin' and smokin' their pipes.
But all that upended recently when she took in another young gal, Ainsley Kells, as her ward. The Kells had always been known as a wild bunch, and everyone in town agrees that Miss Cordie is goin' to have her hands full with that 'un!
All told, the folks of the Holler look to Miss Cordie as a respected wise woman and herbalist. While most look to Doc Faust for their everyday poultices and tending to, when something ails them in the soul, they come a knockin' at her door.
Some even whisper that she is so invested with the Green that she entreats directly with the Lord of the Forest his self . . .
