Afia

Flora is a graceful half-elf woman in her middle years, with long, wavy chestnut hair often tied loosely at the back. Her bright green eyes are quick to crinkle with laughter or concern, and her presence exudes calm reassurance. She wears a simple yet elegant dress in warm tones, decorated with floral embroidery, and a well-worn apron that smells faintly of rosemary and hearthfire.

Flora is the soul of Mistmeadow’s warmth. Compassionate, attentive, and unfailingly generous, she treats strangers like old friends and friends like family. She has an intuitive sense for people's moods and can lift spirits with a comforting word, a steaming bowl of stew, or a lilting tune hummed over a simmering pot. Beneath her gentleness lies quiet resolve—she does not tolerate cruelty, and her kindness should never be mistaken for weakness.

Flora was born and raised in Mistmeadow, where she inherited the Glistening Grove Tavern from her parents. Though her elven heritage shows faintly in her delicate features and ageless poise, few in the village know much about her lineage—only that her elven blood comes from a grandfather she never met, and whom no one speaks of. Despite that mystery, Flora never let uncertainty cloud her heart. She embraced the hearth as her stage, her kitchen as her instrument, and her community as her audience. Now, she runs the tavern with quiet pride, raising her young son alongside her loving husband, and offering food, rest, and comfort to all who walk through her door.
