Description Expect me to update this like a million times as I find better ways to art things, but for now ARGH IM SO TIRED OF WORKING ON THIS FUCK IT

Much thanks to tashcrow who I commissioned for the initial character design and who did the sketches that are the base of everything here! Their art is amazing <3 

Literally everything is a WIP I'm just so tired of having this only in my head

RashaldiThe Knower
Known As: Rashaldi the Knower to most. Rasha to a select and heavily vetted few.
Respected For: Her spell and potion work. A careful sacrifice of something precious - from coin to lifeblood - can be exchanged for a charm or tincture to sooth ills or bring luck, and everything in between. Nothing escapes her sharp sight and more than one hopeful has been chased off by her beak and talons. She takes work only from those she decides to humor.
Found In:  A carefully crafted and hidden tree house . Those who seek her knowledge must first prove their sincerity by finding her dwelling. 
Keeper Of: Plants. In every shape and size and strain and crossbreed possible, they seem almost to take on a life of their own. She weaves their magic into her spellwork and in return they drink her power instead of the sunlight that never reaches her shaded home. 
Surrounded By: Cats . The longer they stay in her company and assist in her spellwork the more they begin to take on the properties of her beloved foliage. Her favorite familiars have long since lost their identities and are instead known by their hitchhiking plants' properties.

• A plant-magic based nomadic witch/druid who lives in half-forgotten, rotten buildings deep in the forests and on the edges of towns, working charms and magic for the locals in return for favors. 
• She is prone to the dramatics around people, mostly to keep them away, and greatly prefers solitude and the company of plants. Her favorite trick is to seemingly melt right out of the shadows practically in front of any visitors and the harder they startle the more pleased she seems. 
• Despite her talons she's a delicate touch with steady hands, sharp eyes and a memory that stretches back over her long lifespan without a thing forgotten. 
• She carries clippings of plants with her everywhere and treats them like pets. She plays favorites and talks to them when she thinks no one can hear. She can name every plant around her and knows just how to care for them, and the ones she's kept the longest seem almost to have grown a life of their own from their time spent in her care.
• She makes dyes and weaves plant fiber cloth with them and they hang with finality around those who buy them. There's often fine embroidery around the edges that winks in the light and carries a touch of magic to it; a charm against the cold or the damp or getting lost.

Thank you! I am really in love with the plant cat idea to pair with her to be honest |D And it's so nice to have a ref up so I can at least start showing her off, even if I know I'm going to end up changing the ref a billion times lol

I'm just glad you like her even after the color changes |D I always get nervous altering commissioned work
