Dallenlie Tallmill
A young but promising journeyman Herbalist, focusing on treating the mind. She works closely with the Alchemists Table and the priesthood of Leimeren & Renmelei.
She is currently working at Albion University as a teacher and researcher.
Physical Description
Apparel & Accessories
Dallenlie dresses fashionably in flattering colors and styles, though usually finished with a plain smock to keep off the plant stains and cooking splatter. She keeps her sleeves rolled or tied up out of the way, and keeps her hair back with a kerchief or scarf.
Mental characteristics
Gender Identity
Education
Dallenlie served two traditional apprenticeships before attending Albion University, and carries on this model in her own work, mentoring novices even outside her work with the University students. She believes that one should always start with the basic herbalist tradition (medicines and poisons: the essentials of how herbs and plants affect the body) before pursuing any more specialized application.
Morality & Philosophy
She is a follower of the twin gods, and her primary work is seeking to aid people's return to a natural harmony. She believes that, while grief, anger, and euphoria all have their place, it is healthiest to always come back to a steady balance.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Dallenlie is the kind of person who can't help but try to make things better for others, usually with little or no apparent thought of herself. In fact, being helpful and uplifting others is the best way she knows to make herself happy, and she trusts that the kindness will return if she ever needs it.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
She is very talented at spotting where and how she can help others, and this industrious helpful streak (along with her considerable skill at one of the most difficult applications of herbalism) has made her well valued in the guild. The downside is that she has trouble pacing herself, turning down requests, or asking for help, so she tends to be extremely busy. Fortunately, she is able to manage the stress well, and finds true joy in her work.
Social
Contacts & Relations
Dallenlie mentored Hollyhock Oldlake, during her time with the Herbalists Guild. Though she was somewhat disappointed initially that Hollyhock turned to swordsmanship and sought to join the Valorian Knights, she supported Holly's decision and gave recommendation through the guild that Holly's membership be gifted to the Valorian Temple.
Family Ties
Dallenlie considers the Herbalists Guild as her primary family, and will generally avoid talking about her birth family. It seems to be the only topic she isn't happy to discuss.
