Archivist "Archie" Redfeather
Race: Birdfolk (Cardinal)
Gender: Female
Role: Head Librarian and Archivist of the Verdant Wardens
Location: Verdant Wardens’ Library, a sprawling structure nestled within the heart of the guild's headquarters. The library is built around a grand, ancient oak tree that stretches through the middle of the building, with its branches forming reading nooks, study areas, and shelves filled with books and scrolls.
Appearance:
Archivist Redfeather is a regal-looking Birdfolk with striking bright red plumage, accented by dark, almost black feathers around her eyes, giving her a mask-like appearance. Her wings are broad, with deep red and white patterns, and her tail feathers are long and flowing. Her keen eyes are a deep, intelligent brown, always filled with curiosity and focus. She wears a tailored, moss-green vest with gold embroidery, along with a belt full of small pouches containing various quills, ink vials, and magnifying lenses. Around her neck, she wears a chain with an ornate key, symbolizing her role as the keeper of the library's secrets.
Personality:
Redfeather is meticulous, scholarly, and slightly eccentric. She has an insatiable thirst for knowledge and a deep love for books, scrolls, and any form of written record. Despite her serious demeanor, she has a soft spot for fellow knowledge seekers and adventurers who respect the value of information and learning. Redfeather is known to be quite particular about how the library is maintained, often seen fluttering about, reorganizing books, and chiding those who don't adhere to her strict "Library Code." Her voice is rich and melodic, often punctuated with a chirping laugh when she finds something amusing.
Though she comes off as stern and exacting, Redfeather has a heart of gold and is always willing to help those in genuine pursuit of knowledge. She has a soft-spoken wisdom and offers guidance to those in need, often quoting ancient texts and legends.
Abilities and Skills:
Master Archivist: Redfeather has a near-perfect memory when it comes to books, scrolls, and written documents. She can recall specific passages, locations of obscure texts, and even quote ancient languages.
Magical Scribe: Redfeather is skilled in the art of magical writing. She can enchant scrolls, write magical runes, and inscribe protective wards on books to preserve them from damage or theft. Her quills are enchanted to write on command, and she has several inkpots of enchanted ink that reveal hidden texts or illuminate invisible writing.
Knowledge of the Verdant Wardens: Having spent years as the head librarian, Redfeather is intimately familiar with the guild's history, notable members, alliances, and missions. She keeps meticulous records of each mission and maintains a detailed catalog of artifacts and findings.
Role in the Verdant Wardens:
Archivist Redfeather oversees the entire Verdant Wardens’ Library, ensuring it remains a haven for knowledge, lore, and history. The library serves not only as a repository of books and scrolls but also as a center for learning, research, and magical study. Redfeather organizes weekly study sessions, where members of the Verdant Wardens can learn about specific topics, such as ancient languages, the flora and fauna of Aeloria, magical theory, and historical events.
She also serves as a mentor to younger members who show an interest in scholarly pursuits, guiding them in their studies, teaching them about the importance of preserving knowledge, and occasionally sending them on "knowledge quests" to retrieve rare texts or artifacts.
