Lichen

Lichen is a Boisbéni who has lived a long time and they have gone through many names.

Overall they keep to themself. Nomadic in nature, they're rarely in one place for too long. And do not go out of their way to make or find company. This does not mean that they do not have friends, or companions. Just that they don't usually seek them out.

They were initially unaware of King Mal's search until having to escape hunters. Taking advantage of their ability to lignate their limbs, they found safe refuge in a swamp and blended well into the landscape.

Knowing that they would be hunted further, they hung out in the swamp and nearby forests and didn't stray far. Though they were not alone. Coming to get to know another swampy Boisbéni in an odd co-habitation.

Lichen and Ragnhild had a rocky start, it was clear that the other was very protective of her territory. But as Lichen submitted to her rituals, and acted in good faith, warning her of hunters or other trespassers, they came to live in relative peace.

The two are close now, and Lichen has decided to settle themself in the swamp they share. They spend their days cultivating rare mushrooms and other similar life. They enjoy creating things from wood and their mycelium. Ragnhild will take these creations and crops into town to sell for Argent.
