Morra Skintide

Backstory

Morra Skintide was born between shapes — a Changeling child raised by a human hedge-witch on the marshy fringes of the Ashenwild, far from any town that would have welcomed either of them. Her adoptive mother taught her that the spirit world was not some distant realm to be petitioned but a living current running beneath everything: the mud, the fog, the breath of sleeping animals. Morra learned to read that current the way other children learned to read words — instinctively, hungrily, and with a stubborn refusal to be told there were limits to what she could understand. When her mother died of a fever one winter, Morra buried her in the marsh and kept walking. She has been walking ever since.
