Cloverreach

A middle-aged human woman with long, silver-streaked hair tied back in a loose braid. She has warm brown eyes and wears simple, earth-toned clothing adorned with pockets filled with herbs and small vials. Her hands are often stained with plant juices, and she carries a satchel filled with healing supplies.

Marla is calm, patient, and nurturing, embodying the spirit of a community healer. She has a strong moral compass and is seen as a pillar of the village, but her protective instincts can lead her to be stubborn and quick to judge those she perceives as threats.

Marla Larkin is a widowed herbalist and midwife who has dedicated her life to healing the people of Cloverreach. After losing her husband many years ago, she took on the role of the village healer, using her extensive knowledge of herbs and natural remedies to care for the sick and injured. She has a deep connection to the land and its magical ley lines, a secret she has kept hidden to prevent conflict. As a grandmother, she is protective of her granddaughter Elen, especially as she navigates her feelings for Riven Marlowe, a young man with a questionable past. Marla is torn between allowing Elen to explore her emotions and her instinct to shield her from potential harm. With rising tensions surrounding a land dispute, Marla is increasingly worried about the future of her beloved village.
