Most of her host's kind had died out after an attack by foreigners on her small island home. She survives more than a hundred years after fleeing her home and coming into contact with the Spores. She enjoys traveling when the weather is agreeable - that is, cold, damp, and dark. She doesn't view her condition entirely as a curse, though it upsets her that she cannot share the things she's learn over the years with uninfected populations..
About sporespurn:
The sporespurn are a peculiure kind of undead creature. It is sometimes debated if the nature of a sporespurn mushrooms are a parasite or symbiotic. The effects of the fungus taking hold of a host are clearly unpleasent. Yet the fungus extends the lifetime of a host far beyond the norm. Some recorded to be several centeries old.
The host's entire organ system becomes intertwined with the fungus' mycelia and their appearence slowly changes in disturbing ways. The host retains their memories and may retain their free will and most of their personality. The fungus can change the hosts mood, and often causes feelings of fatigue, depression, and difficulty focusing during"dormant" seasons to keep the host sheltering in the dark. Overpowering lonelyness may be used to persuade the host to infect others during the fall spore season. - hosts may be able to overpower this to control their own destiny, but others will allow themselves to go feral and simply do as the mushroom wills them to.
