Thistledown le Gronx, known as Thissy to her loved ones, was a
forest gnome druid of the
Emerald Enclave and the older sister of Melvin le Gronx. Bright, bold, and fiercely devoted, she approached life with both curiosity and conviction. Her connection to the natural world ran deep, and she wielded nature’s wrath with precision—calling down lightning to defend what she cherished. Though unassuming in stature, she had an unshakable spirit and a protective heart.
She formed one part of a close-knit trio with
Roywyn Daergal and
Brambleshroom Greentide, a bond that grew from shared purpose into deep romantic partnership. Her death during a rift-related incident remains a defining loss within the Enclave and among those who knew her.
History
Initiation and Training
Thistledown met Roywyn on the road to
Waterdeep, and the two quickly became close friends. Their connection deepened when they joined the Emerald Enclave together as initiates and were assigned to train under Brambleshroom Greentide. Over time, the three developed a powerful synergy in both philosophy and practice, their bond evolving into a committed throuple. Thissy’s warmth, humor, and boldness made her the vibrant center of their relationship.
The Rift and Her Final Stand
While serving in Waterdeep, the trio responded to a disturbance near a sacred grove. Upon arrival, they discovered a rift to a pocket fey plane through which a swarm of skitter pixies had begun to pour. The infestation spread rapidly, overwhelming the grove with unnatural aggression.
Realizing the danger, Thistledown acted decisively. She summoned a dome of brambles to shield Roywyn and Brambleshroom and faced the growing swarm alone. Channeling her magic, she called down uncontrolled lightning to destroy the creatures, sacrificing herself in the process.
