Althaea

CLOSED SPECIES BY Otaru
DO NOT CREATE YOUR OWN

Ignaerin - Common

This Lementa enjoys hanging out in busy camp grounds and is usually drawn to things cooking over an open flame, especially treats! If someone manages to cook something PERFECTLY over the fire, they might show themselves and give the fire master a small boon or chat with them a while!

Vorsotra [Manipulation] - This is the basic magen ability in which the lementarin can move and manipulate an already existing source of their element.

They/Them

This Lementa likes to reside along a traveler's path in the woods where many stop to make camp during their long journeys. Althaea often keeps them self hidden, but still chooses to hang around those that make their way there and listen to their chatter while on the look out for a good treat. 

Tales are often told by frequent travelers of the area, such as merchants or hunters, of a sprite that sometimes can be seen; but the only way they can be summoned is for a delectable morsel cooked to perfection. If you earn their favor, they will make your campfire dance in the most beautiful and mesmerizing manner, and keep your fire burning longer through the night. However, if they are displeased or you do something to anger the sprite, your fire will lick out at your toes and personal wares. Most think these are silly stories of those bored from the long trips, but those who have witnessed these quick events know better and give a word of caution and to not douse their flames with water.

Althaea honestly has a quick temper but one that is short lived and easily subdued. After all the travelers have gone to sleep, and the wood is getting too low for her to maintain a flame from them, they will curl up close to the embers in order to rest and rejuvenate themselves. (But not too close as to burn themselves while they sleep) 

There is one traveler who is always alone that makes the BEST nibbles for Althaea. They often get worried if he hasn't been seen in too long; humans are so fragile and age so quickly. When he is around Althaea has no fear of showing themselves for the right foods, and he knows just the ones to make them come out.
