Aoife is a child of open skies and quick thinking to hide from the enemy. When not studying or crafting traditional charms, she spends many hours wandering the Great Hall, in awe of so much freedom after a life spent hiding.

Since a very early age, something has been watching Aoife Stillhands. What, exactly, she's never known, but it seems to be a positive force... so far.
 
It began as soon as she was old enough to craft charms. Hillfolk, as they grow up, learn a great deal of these - superstitions, outsiders would call them. Nomadic by situation, not by nature, the Hillfolk have a wide and varied repertoire The proper gestures to make, words to say, to respond to any mishap, to bless a situation, to ask the powers of the universe for guidance. And, more importantly to a young halfling among them, the necessary charms to make. Dolls, trinkets, webs of string in wooden frames, poseys of flowers and herbs tied neatly with twine. Each has its function and its proper placement, and Aoife took to these with enthusiasm, often adding her own flair.
 
When Aoife placed her charms, laid them carefully and spoke her words, the results were... well, more effective than anticipated. Plants that had been consecrated with Aoife's tiny clay mushrooms grew stronger and taller than any others. Hunters who bore her talismans returned with more meat. The sick who hung her poseys over their beds recovered faster, or at least so it seemed. The difference was less noticeable to begin with, but as she entered her tenth year there was no longer any denying it.
 
What Aoife never spoke of, through all of this, was the gentle voice in her head. Soft and soothing like tinkling chimes on a sunny spring day, the voice never spoke any words, really, or at least none she understood, but its meanings were clear to her.
 
*Continue the old ways. Grow them, evolve them. Spread them to all those you meet. In return, you will grow more powerful. You'll gain new magics, ones that you can use to heal your people, to hide your people. Think of me as you craft, and as you grow I will imbue you with all that I can.*
