If there was less sympathy in the world,
"For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move."
there would be less trouble in the world.

+Look in the mirror: Duscle is just about your average brownie. Her fur is soft and sleek, though also short since she likes the warmer climates. Her fur color is a deep, rich brown, and she has a few spots of just a slightly lighter shade of brown on her face and chest. Her claws are black in color while she has a dark pink nose and paw pads on both her hands and feet. Her tail seems to be shorter than most brownie tails, and even seems to end abruptly, but that will be explained later. She has a few feathers that are a mixture of bright colors, like blues, reds, yellows, and greens, and they go through her right ear like an earring. There is a small nick in her left ear. She can always be seen carrying her small canvas bag filled with different herbs, mushrooms, and objects. (Click here to see a picture of her, just to give a better image. This was drawn by myself.)
We can't plan life. All we can do is be available for it.
+A childhood: At one time, Duscle had a group of other brownies she lived with, consisting of both family and friends. She did have a last name by the name of Banyan and was one of three daughters to her mother Tansy and her father Hellebore; her two sisters were Osage and Kudzu. The group of brownies lived peacefully on one of the islands of Alter and were really left alone. They had no worries of predators or other beings that would want their lands or something. It was just them and the birds…and an occasional person or two that would come wandering through in search of some feathers for their arrows.
When Duscle was around 49 years old, she had gotten lost within the thick jungle that they lived in. While trying to find her way back home on her own, she happened to stumble upon a young faerie dragon that was lying on the ground with a broken wing. Feeling bad for the poor thing, Duscle brought it to her group’s doctor and the faerie dragon also happened to be very low on magic. Eventually they settled on bringing the dragon to Fire Village, for the brownies knew of a wizard that lived there. Duscle was able to get a spot on the group of brownies to go, along with her father and a couple others. They travelled from their island to the other on a small boat and, after a day’s walk, made it to the village. They easily found the wizard there and presented the dragon to him, and he managed to restore the dragon’s mana and mended its broken wing.
The dragon grew close to Duscle, seeing as she was the one that found it; the dragon revealed her name to be Ysellian. She followed the brownie around everywhere and Duscle was happy for the company. The two became quick best friends. Eventually, though, Ysellian told Duscle of what had happened to her; apparently there was some sort of carnivorous creature roaming the island and the faerie dragon had just been able to escape. Duscle was quick to warn the other brownies, but none of them believed her since they had lived there for generations without problems.
When Duscle was around 100 years old, Ysellian was suddenly accused of being a thief and stealing herbs from the group’s storage. Duscle didn’t believe the accusations and stood up for her friend, at which point she was called a betrayer and traitor. Tensions got so tense that she ended up getting into a fight with one of the leader-like brownies of the group. Of course, since she was much younger than he was, he beat her. During the fight he had taken a bit out of her ear and also bit off some of her tail. Defeated and ashamed, Duscle ran off with Ysellian into the forest. The brownie soon found out the dragon had been taking the herbs to a sick sibling but they had died that night and she was going to stop the stealing. But it was too late for any of that now. Duscle had been cast out of the group and now there was nowhere to go.
So, after that, the brownie left the island—she took the boat that the brownies always used—and she got herself to the larger island of Alter before taking a boat from there to Valituer after learning it was the most-populated island in all of the Sonbarie Kingdom. Of course, it was like a completely new world for her since she thought that the entire world was just the few Alter islands. From then on, Duscle and Ysellian have been travelling all over the place for the past century and a half, almost always on the move unless they have a good reason to stay in a specific place for a long time.
+How I act around others: Duscle is optimistic and happy-go-lucky, always bracing a new challenge with a smile on her face as she tries to observe the glass as half full. She doesn’t like being sad or seeing other people be sad; it’s not uncommon she’ll try her best to make others happy while keeping her own problems off to the side. This tends to make her a little stressed out and agitated, but she can usually keep that under control. However, if you purposefully continue to rub her fur the wrong way—both figuratively and literally—her patience will snap and she’ll get right back at you. Even if she does seem happy and friendly almost all the time, she won’t be afraid to hold a grudge against someone if they give her a good reason to do so; she doesn’t forgive and forget easily.
+What I do with my life: Duscle is excellent when it comes to herbs and such and she often makes potions to sell. Other than that, she really doesn’t hold a job and is content with just travelling on her own.
+I do enjoy things:
-Mushrooms
-Warm places
-Forests
-Singing
-Travelling
+I also hate some things:
-Open water (like the ocean or large lakes)
-Cold weather
-Beings that are taller than her
-Those that complain or whine
-Canines
+Oh, I almost forgot: Ysellian, a faerie dragon, is always with her. (And just an FYI, Ysellian does have two wings, I just got lazy. And the wing off to the side is just to show what the wings look like on the top.) And she also has a great singing voice.
