Though less modest and more hasty in her reactions to snap at those who irritate her, Heather is combative with any and all who dare try her patience in the slightest.

History: Heather hails from a village terrorized by illithids. Heather liked to wander the woods near her home when she was young, something she still likes to do at least once a week.

Days after completing her studies, news broke out that her hometown was attacked by illithids. Heather was horrified and prayed that her mother was alright. However, she heard that her mother had died fighting off the illithids.
