General
Black Forest, by some from the Shroud referred to as The Black Witch, or The Witch of the Shroud is a Hellsguard Roegadyn originating from the Black Shroud where she often resides. While her looks may be intimidating, she has a very calm and serene nature, not one to show extreme emotions; always keeping to herself. Collected and poised, she also speaks in a Shakespearean/posh style, which often causes confusion with some visitors. She is a very bright person and a well-mannered lady, kind to all unless given reason not to. One of her most common habits is smoking, as she can be often found smoking her pipe with all sorts of fragrant herbal mixes and spices.
An hereditary hearth-witch and an accomplished aether user. She often spends time in her household, making offerings to the hearth spirits as well as tending to the house chores, keeping up with her family tradition that has been passed on from generation to generation; her household being a sacred thing to her.
While good at heart and very helpful to those seeking her help, she is often misunderstood by her figure of speech as well as her intimidating looks. Thus, the fairy tale of The Black Witch was born, picturing the woman as something to be feared and avoided, supposedly preying on lost adventurers to offer them as tribute to the elements, as they do not heed or respect them. It doesn't particularly bother her and thus she leads a very solitary life in recluse.
Personality

Appearance
Like every Roegadyn, Black Forest stands at an impressive and intimidating height, adding more to her scary posture despite her serene disposition. Tall and muscular, she is a Hellsguard Roegadyn, her skin tone leaning more towards an ashy brown tone than a rich chocolate brown. As most her kind, she also tends to her hair with utmost care, pinning it up in thick black curls, often nestled under a big wide witch hat; under from which her piercing amber eyes observe the world around her. Additionally, she sports a very small beauty mark on her jawline.
She has a preference towards robes and earthy colours.
Posture Habits
Occupation
While not secret, but she doesn't advertise herself openly, she is a hereditary hearth-witch, also known as a cottage or kitchen witch. She enjoys making her home and surroundings a sacred space. She often likes to incorporate witchcraft into her cooking and put her energy and focus into the foods and the meals she creates. She cares deeply about the ingredients, and often grows her own herbs and vegetables.
Magic is worked specifically through "kitchen craft" such as herbal mixtures, brewing, baking, and cooking, allowing her to honour many aspects of the natural world: including herbs, crystals, fey, and the elements. Some of her skills include tarot reading, using salt and incense as well as sweet grass to interpret dreams and using prayer for others. She can also do palm reading as well as reading from tea leaves and other divination. For select few who ventured deep enough into the Shroud in search of her skills, she would gladly offer her divination skills to them and share with them her words of wisdom.
Black Forest works with spirits of the hearth. These spirits often include the household guardians, kitchen guardians, ancestors, and hearth gods and goddesses. Included are the spirits of fire, water and wind as they are found inside the house and also assist her with daily tasks. Her powers are boundless as long as she makes sure to give the proper offerings to the spirits in exchange for her powers. These offerings are only necessary when she utilizes her powers. On days where she does not make use of any magic, she is relieved of such tasks. The offerings mostly consist of rare herbs, fauna, as well as crystal and other minerals and ores. Offerings are given in the mornings, dependent on which spirits she had used the skills of. For fire, she usually offers them to the fireplace. Earth and wind, in the gardens and outdoors in general, while water tends to be near lakes or wells. Said spirits may be picky on what it is they desire and more than one she had her offerings rejected. She is most meticulous about the offerings and often can be out for entire mornings on her searches.
