Anchor Root
W-wh-what? What did I do? Did I mess up again.... pugwampis? Oh, I know all about them! I can help!
"As an initiate, Anchor Root wears a beaded bracelet marking her as one of Teacher Ot's pupils. Though if she sees you looking at it, she'll cover it with her hand. Or run away. Maybe both—she's a wild card like that."
Anchor Root is a initiate of the Magaambya Academy, who has joined the Rain-Scribes. It's her wish to become her village's Bonekeeper.
Description
Appearance
Anchor Root is considered small for a Kholo. She's covered in soft, tawny fur that makes her appear more like a large, timid dog than the usual ferocity the Kholo are known for. Her ears are large and expressive, often nervously tucked flat, and her wide, dark eyes are filled with what can only be described as contagious anxiety. She prefers traditional garb from her home of Redridge, including a necklace and belt covered in dinosaur teeth—but, as she hunches everywhere, their hollow rattling almost herald her timid arrival.
Personality
Anchor Root is a ball of anxious energy. Often stuttering on their speech, she has sometimes difficulty in speaking with people, although she's gotten better at speaking to people around her since she convinced herself to stay at the Magaambya. She can often be found in the Spire Dormitory, hiding in her room, or peaking out corners of hallways when she hears people having conversations. She is naturally curious, often very knowledgeable about Mwangi lore, and usually has very insightful opinions, once she gets to actually say them.
She often gravitates towards the attendants and others she feels she trusts more, sometimes even using them as social cover by hiding behind them if possible.
Background
Anchor Root hails from her tribe at Redridge. She joined the Magaambya in the hopes that she will one day become the Bonekeeper in her village, by becoming an alchemist. Her respect for the title is apparent and she explains the role of ensuring that names aren't forgetting within her tribe, hence her stay at the academy. However, she was highly unsure she was even going to stay, as her nervousness and fear of messing things up for those around her almost made her leave.
Campaign Events
S:02 "The Only Part Of You That Burns in Hell is the Part That Won't Let Go"
As the party was getting settled at the Spire Dormitory, Anchor was discovered by the party, hiding in a corner. After much convincing, Anchor Root introduces herself to the group, and quickly mentions why she's at Magaambya. She quickly goes back to her room after her introduction.
S:03 "Leap Into Hell and Kill the Devil Himself"
During the Tempest-Sun Mages' Perquisite, the team encounters pugwampis, fey creatures who take great joy in messing with other creatures, making a mess of the food pantry. After a Esoteric Lore check on them, it's discovered that pugwampis revere Kholo as gods, and often are seen together. To peacefully resolve the matter, Orvin has an idea on inviting Anchor Root, to see if they can convince them to leave. Adira rushed to get Anchor Root, who responded thinking she did something wrong. Adira convinces her to help her with the pugwampis. Anchor Root agrees, and they run back to assist. With a quick conversation, the pugwampis were quick to follow Anchor Root, and both she and Orvin leave with the fey creatures to a better location where the pugwampis can be at peace, outside of the Magaambya, successfully completing the task.
S:04 "No Lore but the Lorem Ipsum"
Anchor Root and Orvin come back after spending some time together, sharing their thoughts about seeing musicians together in the area, and talk about making music together. Anchor Root and Orvin share their true names with each other, and Anchor Root heads off for the night to sleep.
S:07 "He Tampered in God's Domain"
Anchor Root was present at the first unofficial meeting of the "Knights of the Broom Closet" and provided insight on how some of the creatures could've gotten into the Magaambya. They were sitting on Noxolo's lap, and was able to speak up in a big group. We're proud of her.
