Profile
Telly
Shy and somehow awkward boy, whose dream is to become a herbalist. He trains under the watchful eye of Avery, who is like a mother to him. However, unlike her, he wants to create cures that can help people and he is not really interested in poison making industry.
Telly despises all forms of violence, preferring to stay away from conflicts and he wants his beloved ones to do the same. However, when the battle is inevitable, he won't run away, but bravely help everyone in need, no matter what side they are on.
He's really dedicated to his job. He is constantly looking for new ways herbs could help people. And after treatment, his patients can expect a bowl of delicious-smelling soup to warm themself up, because he's an excellent cook! He is the one to cook dinners for his friends, who always ask for more than one bowl!
Personality
He is shy and hardworking guy. He's afraid of strangers and acts awkward around them, especially in the company of girls he turns speechless and starts blushing really hard. He never makes promises, because he is too afraid of breaking them. He's a good listener and he doesn't like getting in the troubles. Some thinks he's a coward, but when somebody he loves is in danger, he won;t hestiate to help. He hates violence and can't understand why others decide to ude it, when hurting peple could be avoided. In his friends' company he seems like a different person - he still doesn't talk a lot,that's until somebody asks him about his hobby and job. He's clever and knows a lot of about herbs and he can spend all day talking about them. He has no doubts that being the herbalist is his destiny.
He hates when his friends don't tell him about dangers they are putting themselves in - they know he's a soft hearted and don't want to make him worry, but the effect is quite opposite - he cannot stop thinking about what could possibly happen to them. Especially when they turn up in his doors covered in scard and blood. He doesn't like talking about himself and he's not honest with himself about feelings. He's loyal and honest and expects others to do the same. He can be a little gullible, because he always assumes his interlocutor won't be able to look him in the eye and lie.History
Seacliff
He was born n a small village in Seacliff. He was the son of a local hunter, who was providing meat for most of the village. When he was just a 4 years old child, the village was attacked by Skandians and burned down to ashes. His parents were murdered and his sister, Tace kidnapped. He only managed to survive, because his sister hid him and told him to wait for her. However, Tace never came back and the one who found him was Avery, who promised his sister to take care of him, as the two of them were close friends.
Journey to find a new home
Avery took care of him and together, they traveled through the country, looking for a new home. Despite her young age, Avery already had been known for her poison-making abilities, so they managed to earn some money and survive. Telly was too young to understand what she was doing, but he noticed that she avoided the topic whenever he asked her. She wanted to keep him safe and not dirt his hands with illegal business. After few years, they found a place to stay in Redmont, where Avery found a regular customer she didn't want him to learn about.
Early teen days
Their live-in Redmont was pretty peaceful. Their cottage was located on the edge of the forest, so both of them spent a lot of time there, Avery searching for ingredients, Telly playing with his newly made friend - Glade. As he grew up, he started to understand more of what Avery was doing and he wasn't pleased with her ways to keep them alive. When she wasn't home he started reading old herbalist books of hers and experimenting. He was only 12 back then and thought that if he finds a way to help people with her job, rather than doing the opposite, she wouldn't do poisons anymore. He knew deep inside she has a golden heart. When Avery found out about this she was really angry at first - she did all the bad things to keep the boy safe, so he doesn't have to. However, she knew that he won't stop experimenting and without her help, he could do something bad, so she taught him so basics. She saw that he was actually pretty skilled and unwillingly taught him more, to the point she considered him her apprentice. He was really fascinated by herbs and how he can make cures with them, which became his obsession.
Current

Relationships
Best friend | Love Interest
They have been friends since they met, when he was 8. She always has been his knight in shining armor - she helped him, whenever he needed and saved him, when he almost sunk. He has a really big crush on her, however he never told her about it, since he was sure she sees him only as younger brother, even though he's older than her. They grew up together and even after they both become apprentices they still kept in touch and met each others as often as possible. He really admires her strenght in chasing her dreams and indepedence, but he's worried she may get hurt someday during her missions. He's also worried about her health and always tries to tell her that she shouldn't drink so much coffee.
Master | Mother figure
Avery raised him and he treats her like his mother, however when he told her that, she got angry and said that she's too young to be his mother. She's also his master. She often yell at him and is rude to him, but he knows that she's like that because she cares about him and deep inside she loves him. Avery is really proud of Telly and she's glad he decided to follow her footsteps as herbalist, even though path he chose is different from hers. She teaches him everything she knows. She supports him and wishes him all the best.
Big sister
Tace is his 8 years older sister. He didn't even know she's still alive, before their reunion after 14 years. First, he felt awkward in her company, but they soon became close, trying to catch up time that was taken away from them.
