About
"Tiny, put that out of your mouth right now!"
A kind-hearted, and a bit naive Druid. You might find him and his pet in your local wet, dark cave. Thymian doesn't bite, Tiny does.
Thymian is just trying his best, surviving in this strange, bright new world he has found himself in. The brightness still scares them, but once the big, white, friendly orb emerges on the strangely spotty sky, he's finally able to venture outside. He just hopes he's not trespassing somewhere! Just trying to live a calm, quiet life, surrounded by nature.

Personality
Avid Collector
Thymian LOVES collecting all sorts of things in his little safe haven (the cave). He especially loves collecting all sorts of shiny rocks and gemstones, like amethysts! The cave has many small boxes in it, all for storing his precious little trinkets, the shiniest are always on display.
Animal Lover
He loves all sorts of animals and creatures, they intrigue him deeply, but the one he cares for the most is his gecko/lizard friend, Tiny! Thymian would walk over hot coals for that little guy, he has been with them for a long time, and is his best friend.
Scaredy Cat
Thymian is all alone in a whole new world outside of the Underdark, the place where he has been his whole life. Many things are different up here, which is incredibly scary. The sun burns his eyes, there are tall, strange plants everywhere (trees), and everything is so open!
Accidental Trespasser?
He's always on the lookout for guards, or other humanoids, since he surely is intruding in this strange garden he's found all the way up here. They don't want any trouble, and only venture outside if it is neccessary.
Curious but Afraid
Thymian is incredibly curious about everything that has been happening everywhere. So much so, that his curiosity battles his fear, he wants to know everything there is to know, especially about nature, but nature is oh so deadly sometimes!
Sentimental
He holds on to any and all things that remind him if his past, especially those that remind him of his father. The little rock necklace he made for them still adorns his neck, he sometimes curls around it when he misses his dad a bit too much.

Summary
Beginnings
Unlike other drow, Thymian was kind hearted and a bit too naive for his own good. He never really had to endure the cruel matriarchy of Menzoberranzan, as his father escaped with him when he was a baby. Thymian spent his whole life in fear of being found, always wandering through the Underdark with his knight father, who took great care of him. His father did not want his whole identity to be associated with the cruel and unjust ways of Menzoberranzan, which is why he never told Thymian his birth-given name, and instead gave him the name of something beautiful and nice- a herb.Thymian was always quite fascinated by sparkling, shiny rocks or gems, he had a few in his satchel. He liked the way they felt against his fingertips, and the way the light reflected in the sparkling ones. His father knew that and, when Thymian had a particulary bad day, tried to cheer up his child by giving them a nice, regular rock. It was a bit jagged along the edges and did not look very special, but Thymian treasured it more than the shiny, coloured ones.
He made a little necklace with it, and has not taken it off since.While they were sleeping during their travels, Thymian felt something touch him, and felt four tiny feet tap along his chest. He woke up in a panic, and saw a little gecko sitting on his poncho, which looked at him curiously, tilting its head. He just stared at it for a few seconds, until it looked down towards where his mushroom hat was lying. It looked back and forth between Thymian and the hat, and began to glow light blue, just like the mushroom, and wagged its tail a bit. Thymian begged his father if they could keep it. He could not say no, and pet the little gecko with one finger. Thymian decided to call it "Tiny". Tiny traveled with them curled up on Thymians shoulder, watching the world around them with big, curious eyes.
Grand Escape
One fateful day, while they were setting up camp in a mushroom field, the two of them got ambushed by the drow phalanx searching for them. His father tried to fight, to protect his child, but told him to run far, far away. Thymian had to leave his father behind in order to escape, and he never heard of him again. While running away, he came across a strange, steep tunnel, which seemed to go upwards endlessly. He followed this path for a few days, desperate to not let the others find him.He walked until his feet were sore, and until the tunnel ended. On the other side, there was a strange light coming from a big, white orb in the sky (moon). There were smooth, green tendrils, almost like fur, covering the ground (grass), and weird, tall constructs with smooth green parts on their many, spiky ends (trees).
Thymian was afraid, very afraid, was he intruding in some secret, hidden garden? Was he trespassing? Maybe the tunnel belonged to some noble family, and this was their estate? He could not go back now, so he just found a little, almost unnoticeable cave, and settled down there. Tiny built a little nest right next to where he laid down his blankets. After resting in the cave for a very long time (the walking had exhausted them), he decided to explore this strange place a bit, maybe the paople who lived here were kind and would not care that they were here? He ventured outside, walking across the green fur, until he stepped on something slimy. When he looked down, he saw a few small, slimy, disgusting creatures. They were almost like worms, but bigger, and had two sticks(?) in their face (slugs). Tiny ate one of them. Terrified, he stepped away from them, afraid they would hurt him in order to avenge their dead brother. He walked back to his little cave, and decided he would not leave this place for a week.
New Life
Of course he had to leave eventually, Tiny was whining since it was hungry (Thymian forbade it from eating the spiders), and he had to eat too. This place was quite strange, periodically a big yellow orb would replace the big white one after the sky burned red, and it would get unbearably bright outside of the cave. Thymian decided to stay in the cave and sleep then, and only left when the sky burned again. At first he was afraid of it, thinking the garden was angry because of his presence, but after the third time he found out it was harmless, just a bit weird (and beautiful in a frightening way, Tiny seemed to like it). He found some red berries which looked safe to eat, and found a small, probably dead, monster lying on the green fur. It had white fur, a small round orb for a tail, very veeery long ears, and strange, little legs (a bunny). He decided to take it with him, afraid other monsters would find the body and settle there. He took it back to the cave, and thought the fur of the creature would make for a nice sleeping bag for Tiny. The meat looked edible, and he decided to roast it above a small fire (it was a little burned, he was not the best cook).
He tried to build some small things in the cave for themselves, to make the cave a bit more homely. Thymian liked it here, and Tiny seemed happy as well. Maybe his father would find him here in the strange gardens, maybe the people who the garden belonged to would find him first. He hoped they were nice and would allow him to stay, but maybe it would be for the better if nobody found them here.
